I am 36 years old and weigh less than 90pounds. I am worried about deepening nasolabial folds but would like to avoid fillers if possible. Is there anything else that I can do instead? I have acne prone skin so struggle to find anti aging products that don't cause break outs.

Thank you for you for your question. It takes 2-3 weeks for the swelling and lumps and asymmetry to subside with fat transfer to the face. Final results take 3 months. Discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. Best Wishes
After a fat transfer, the fat needs to get blood flow to survive. With all techniques, a % of the fat will resorb. Using the facial muscles will not impair the survival rate for the fat. So you can eat, talk, laugh whatever. You may feel tight in certain areas depending on...
A hematoma from previous trauma could cause this type of deformity. A steroid shot that wasn't deep enough could as well.Fat grafting would be a nice option for you. It will probably take a few sessions to achieve a complete result. Good luck.
