Deep nasolabial folds - do I need Morpheus8 or mid-facelift? (photos)

February 11, 2022
Asked By:909baby in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 23 and have always taken good care of my skin. Daily moisturizing, retinol and spf are important to me! But both my parents have deep nasolabial folds so i'm sure it's my genetics coming to play. I'm against going with an type of fillers or PDO threads, as those are short term fixes and results can vary drastically. I'd like something long term. I added a photo from 3 years ago, when my folds were not apparent at all and wold love to have my old skin back! Pls, any input is appreciated!
