Fillers for Hollows Around Nose/nasolabial? (photo)

Question

Hi I'm 23, and I've always had hollows around my nose. They have gotten a bit worse the last year or so. I recently had a consultation to have perlane to fill them in. My doctor suggested an implant as a permanent solution, or fillers as a temporary. I'm getting the fillers to see if the implant something I'd like to do. I've very skeptical because It's my face (only one Ive got lol) and I'm young--Basically wanted to know if I'm a good candidate & also I wanted to get a second opinion.

First I would try a filler such as restylane or juvederm. Perlane might be a little to thick for you. If don't like the results there is a dissolving agent. I wouldn't suggest a permanent implant due to complications and your young age.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi @MCscott. I recommend trying a hyaluronic acid dermal filler like Restylane Defyne. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

hi, perlane can be used for your problem. the outcome in experienced hands its always the expected. the thing with this kind of filler its that it will go away. permanent procedures can be artefill, fat injection and also silicone implanta or cartilage (self). 

	Translation provided by doctor:

	hola , perlane puede ser utilizado para tu problema. el resultado en manos experimentadas es siempre el esperado. el problema es que este tipo de relleno desaparecera con el tiempo. los procedimientos permanentes son artefill, inyeccion de grasa, implantes de silicona o cartilago propio.

Without assessing you in person, it's difficult to determine which product will provide your best result. Any dermal filler is going to improve the area and consulting with more than one provider is always a great plan when considering cosmedic treatments.
