Looking to reduce nasolabial folds in thin face. Whats the approximate amount/syringes it looks like I'd need? (photos)

Asked By:HippieFiller in Santa Clara, California

I've got a thin face and I've noticed more pronounced nasolabial folds as I approach 40. They don't bother me much but I'd like to explore facial fillers to delay the increased folds. I do have consultations scheduled with plastic surgeons but would also like the opinions of doctors here on RealSelf, regarding best options and the approximate amount/syringes it looks like I'd need. What would you recommend, based on my photos?
