How can I improve this facial fold from acne scarring? (Photo)

March 14, 2024
Asked By:James95 in Leavenworth, Washington

Cystic acne in my teenage years caused volume loss near my nasolabial fold. This loss of volume seems to have caused a facial fold which appears more pronounced when I smile. I’d love to improve the appearance so my smile line can look more natural. Would filler into this fold potentially help smooth the appearance?
