I recently had 1 ml of Restylane injected into deep nasolabial folds.

Hi @mjhass! 1 ml is an appropriate starting point for the nasolabial folds. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for asking your question. The best approach for treating a patient for the first time is to under-correct the problem and add additional filler on a follow up visit. This allows the patient to see how much swelling they get and ensures that the area being treated does not get over-corrected. Make sure an experienced, board-certified physician performs all injections. Good luck.

you can inject a lot of fillers without complications, Ive done 15 tubes at once before on a full face.  to the folds, a few syringes is normal without issues.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Every patient is different; a consultation with an expert injector that includes a discussion about expectation of results should be had prior to injection of filler.  Sophisticated injectors often use several syringes or different materials in multiple locations to obtain natural and youthful results.  In a young patient with minimal volume loss, 1 syringe may be sufficient.  It is always a good idea to establish a follow up in about 2 weeks to evaluate results if you are unsure.

Fillers are a great way to address unwanted facial lines and creases, and even to alter and restore facial proportion.  It is wise to start conservatively with only a single syringe, knowing that the result always can be augmented.  While most patients require only 1 or 2 syringes to achieve the desired effect on their NLF, there are patients with deeper creases or the desire for greater effacement that may choose to inject more.  It is important that after any injectable you make a follow up appointment with your physician to critically discuss the results to optimize your current care and discuss future treatment plans.  Best of luck.
