Are PDO threads or fillers best for my nasolabial folds? (Photos)

Question

48 years old male who has been exercising essentially through all my adult life. A doctor supposedly specialised in dermal fillers told me that my face was very challenging and that she would not be able to do anything. It was very disappointing. She even sighed multiple times as if my consultation was a chore. I would like to find the best doctor in London who guide me through the different options so I can have a better understanding of what can be done. Photos attached. Thanks in advance.

Lets first of all put something straight:
Fillers help with volume loss, giving back part of the lost facial shape, thus excellent for face sculpting/ nasolabila folds.
Thread lift is amazing on giving back firmness on sagging skin which in many cases results from loss volume. 
So, I would inject fillers to address the nasolabial fold, and work with thread lift for the jawline sagging skin after the fillers are settled. 
Those would not necessarily happen during the same timeline or session.

Based on your photos, you seems to be a good candidate for dermal filler and PDO threads to achieve your goal. Schedule an appointment with an experienced medical professional  for an in person examination.

Thank you very much for the pictures. You really could not go wrong with having some filler placed. Placing some threads would not be a bad idea either but i would recommend having a combo of both.

Hello, Thank you for the photos. It looks like you would be a good candidate for dermal filler and PDO threads. There are other modalities and treatments to volumize the face. Consult with an experienced injector to see what treatment would be best for you. Make sure they set realistic expectations. Hope this helps.Sincerely, Dr. Chase Lay, MD

From what I can see from your photo , you look like a good candidate from a combination of lifting threads and dermal fillers.  Dermal fillers alone may not give you enough lift and lifting threads will not completely  correct your volume loss in the midface. Look for a experienced medical professional  and they can guide you through the process. London has some amazing injectors.
