I have nasolabial folds and a bit of jowling. Doctors like to fix the NL lines with fillers; a temporary solution. Instead of placing fillers in the "depressions", wouldn't it be best that I microliposuction some of the area/areas that are creating the "ridges" themselves? Technically the cause of these "aging" features are due to the drooping of the areas ABOVE the folds; not the nasolabial crevice that appears... Would liposuction alone help these areas? Thank you!

Answer: Liposuction helps jowling but doesn't do much for nasolabial folds.
