Answer: Smile line filler Yes, there are many fillers which would be beneficial for your "smile lines", called nasolabial folds. Most often deeper smile lines result from loss of volume in the upper face/cheek areas. It sounds as though you may have had fat transfer to address your upper face volume loss so filler to your nasolabial folds is appropriate. Remember you would like to soften your fols not completely erase them for a more natural look. Many filler choices exist for for the nasolabial folds. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in aesthetic injectables. Best wishes.

Answer: Volumizing Fillers Work Well And Have Been Used For Decades For Softening Smile Lines Using fillers to treat smile lines was the first approved indication for their use. In fact, I personally was using the original Zyderm I collagen filler for this purpose over three decades ago. Today we have a wide variety of much more sophisticated and safe injectable volumzing fillers for this purpose. So, the short answer to your question is that volumizing fillers can absolutely be used to soften smile lines.
