I am 5’9 and 140 lbs. There are deep folds near the sides of my nose that do not extend all the way down. I’ve had these for a long time, and I went to a cosmetologist to get them filled, but she recommended against that because they would seem “overfilled” and look unnatural and prominent from the side. Is it because I have a weak mid face? I don’t want implants though, but maybe a mid face lift? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Dermal fillers and PDO threads Hi @Random_Girl_Online! I would recommend getting filler into the piriform fossa. This will help soften the smile lines. Another alternative would be PDO threads. PDO threads is a non-surgical procedure that lifts desired facial anatomy and promotes collagen and myofibroblast stimulation improving overall skin texture and health.

Answer: Best Answer to Deep Nasolabial Fold in Young Patient Hi RGO,Ahh, to be 22 years old again! Enjoy your youth and beauty. If the area continues to bother you, I would recommend consulting with an expert in facial fillers. I would examine you carefully in person and then decide on your best treatment plan. Deep nasolabial folds are usually caused by lack of mid face boney support. In your case given your youth, a small amount of filler in your mid face and possibly directly into your superior nasolabial fold should help your achieve your aesthetic goals. I would likely use either Voluma or Sculptra. Make sure to choose your injecting aesthetic physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, training, knowledge, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

Answer: Deep Naso-labial grooves-Treatment Deep Naso-labial grooves-Treatment The treatment I like best for this is Juvederm or Restylane. It lasts 9-12 months and I’ve never had any complication other than occasional bruising. A personal evaluation is needed as this genetic problem may be improved with Voluma to your cheeks as well and ultimately cheek implants.

Answer: Treating prominent nasolabial folds When it comes to evaluating the face, it's all about the proportions. The reason your face appears to have more nasolabial folds than one would expect in a 22-year-old is because genetically you do not have much central cheek and lower eyelid fat. This condition is inherited from the father's side of the family as a rule. I would recommend to have your cheeks recreated through the means of fat grafting. As long as the procedure is performed by an experienced in fat grafting plastic surgeon, the results will be natural and very long lasting. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
