I want to get filler in my nasolabial folds. I've been told I can choose between Voluma, Perlane and Modulas and that they actually inject in the cheeks and it 'pulls' up the folds, rather than injecting the folds themselves. Does that mean Voluma is best? Which will last longer and which will have fewer side effects such as pain and swelling? Thanks in advance.

Answer: Filler for nasolabial folds Patients can be injected off label with a variety of fillers including Voluma, Perlane (now called Restylane Lift) and other fillers. The key factors in choice of filler are:-depth of nasolabial fold-how thick or thin skin is- overall volume of cheek (determine if fillers in other location may be necessary)- desired stiffness of filler in smile lines (some patients don't like overly stiff smile lines and like a softer filler)

Answer: Voluma to Lift Nasolabial Folds Voluma is one of my favorite hyaluronic-acid-based dermal filler for the cheek and midface area as it has a very natural look and feel. Voluma injected in such a way does create a slight lift to the face, which may be sufficient to smooth out your nasolabial folds. However, if they are deep you may also need an HA filler to soften those creases, such as Perlane. Voluma can last up to 24 months, which is longer than most other fillers other than Sculptra. You probably will have some injection-related swelling, soreness and bruising that will last a few days to a couple of weeks from any dermal filler. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has experience sculpting the face with dermal fillers to find out your best options.
