I’m 22 and have deep nasolabial folds: what do I do? (photos)

June 1, 2020
Asked By:Random_Girl_Online in Los Angeles, CA

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.
