A lower blepharoplasty has the potential to help the nasolabial fold because the incision provides surgeons an opportunity to lift the mid-face and cheek. By lifting and tightening the muscle that circles the eye known as the orbicularis, the cheek is elevated and thus improves the appearance of the nasolabial fold. Fillers and fat transfer are still standard methods of treating the NLF. Talk to your plastic surgeon about the above. Good luck!
Lower blepharoplasty will not improve nasolabial folds. Depending on what you're trying to achieve, a little properly placed filler will smooth them out. Be well!
Blepharoplasty will not improve the nasolabial folds. Sometimes in an older patient who has crow's feet to hide an extension of the the blepharoplasty incision outward, some elevation of the cheek and nasolabial fold can be seen. Thank you for your question.
Thank you for your question and pictures. Lower Blepharoplasty combined with Cheek Lift is more likely to slightly soften your nasolabial folds, than just Lower Blepharoplasty. However, this is not the goal outcome for these procedures. Dermal Filler such as Juvederm is more likely to help soften. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon.

If you request softening of the folds, if you have descent of your cheeks, if lower eyelid blepharoplasty is indicated, and if the surgeon includes cheeklift in the lower blepharoplasty as I often do in the above situation, then YES, lower blepharoplasty can "improve" the nasolabial folds, as in the link accompanying this answer, a case in our gallery.
Hello - All answers point to the same answer - a normal blepharoplasty will not improve your nano-labial folds. Having said this, your photo does not show much of a problems in both locations. Best to see a Board Certified plastic surgeon that can address non-surgical options for your aesthetic concerns. Dr. Kulick, San Francisco Ca
Lower blepharoplasty will not improve your nasolabial fold. Because you have thick skin a cheek lift is NOT indicated. A temporary filler or permanent tissue is your best choice.
Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based onyour photographs, you may benefit from a lower eyelid blepharoplasty with septal reset to help improve your lower eyelids. A filler such as juvederm may help to improve your nasolabial folds. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The mostimportant aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommendthat you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon whocan evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

A lower blepharoplasty procedure has no effect on nasolabial folds. Fillers are a relatively simple way to improve the appearance of the nasolabial folds. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes!
No, a lower blepharoplasty will not improve nasolabial folds. The primary goal of lower eyelid surgery is to remove the fat bags creating the puffy look. The secondary goal is to remove any excess skin present at rest in patients are usually over 50 years of age
Many lesions that are removed from the upper or lower eyelids can result in notching of the eyelids after it heals. Any post-surgical deformity is important to avoid, and you should speak with a facial or oculoplastic surgeon that operates around the eyelids often. That being said,...

The eyelid skin is the thinnest on the face and tends to stretch and become redundant over time as we age. As a male with a thicker skin type your fold is naturally fuller and thicker than someone with thin skin. These individual differences and changes over time are natural and do...
