The purpose of the filler is to add volume and soften the nasolabial folds. If they made the creases deeper, then I do not think many patients would be undergoing these injections. If Juverderm is injected improperly, then it may make the fold deeper. Thank you, and I hope this helps!
Juvederm. when injected correctly, should help efface the nasolabial folds. It the filler is injected to either side, this may deepen the fold.
Something like this can only occur if the injections are not performed properly. When choosing a physician to perform injections of filler, I would recommend doing your homework and finding one who is board certified and has a great deal of experience. This will minimize the chances of any undesirable side effects occurring after treatment. All physicians have their preferences with filler, and I have found Perlane and Radiesse to work fantastic for the nasolabial folds. Good luck with your treatment!
Fillers are designed to make lines look less deep, but unfortunately, the results depend on skill of the injector. Poor technique can actually make the lines look deeper, especially if the injector fails to understand the specific cause for your lines and the anatomy. Choose your injector wisely.
Sounds like this might have happened to you. Sometimes the filler preferentiallly fills in one side of the crease or the other and not the creas itself. It is best to carefully tunnel the needle precisely below the crease and not repeatedly tunnel to one side or the other (so the filler is less likely to migrate out of the tunnel). Your best bet is going to an experienced operator. Actually, I do all my own injections personally (rather than having a nurse do it) because it is not easy and demands expertise.
