Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, treatment with dermal filler in the nasolabial folds is considered a high risk area and must be administered by a qualified and trained professional. If you are interested in treating your nasolabial folds with filler, I encourage you to be seen by a provider with knowledge of facial anatomy. I hope this helps and best of luck!
HA fillers are a great tool to soften the appearance of deep folds in the nasolabial area. Your injector will evaluate you to determine if you are a good candidate for fillers to this area. If your skin laxity in the nasolabial folds is too great it may not give you the results you are wanting, or it may be recommended to combine fillers with other treatments for a more desirable result. The key is to get an experienced expert injector for your treatment.
Every single individual has nasolabial folds but that doesn’t mean you need to have them reduced with fillers. Even babies have them. All the best from NYC Plastic Surgery

Micro liposuction is so easy and simple to get under local and really helps the jawline look so much better.
They are less of an eyesore than you think since they are congenital and symmetrical. I agree that adding filler would be a bad idea, and micro liposuction sounds like it could lead to visible asymmetries afterwards. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
