Hi : While considering fillers for removing the naso labial folds ( very mild) what is the best technique ? Fill the folds or use fillers on the cheeks to lift it ? I have high cheek bones already and i am aftraid I may look over dobe. And also this will be first time I am considering fillers. Is it good to start with Juvederm then Perlane ? I am very familiar with all the fillers and have done enogh reading over the past few months.

Answer: Best fillers for Nasolabial lines.
If the NL lines are just thin lines then juvederm or restylane ($550/syringe) is good and lasts about 4-6 months. If the NL has grooves or wider, deeper creases then Radiesse ($600/syringe) is great and lasts about 1 yr. Most patients need 2 syringes to do either job. Sincerely,

Answer: Fillers to improve nasolabial folds Thank you for your question. In my opinion, fillers work very well for improving nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds can be secondary to cheek descent and by adding volume to the cheeks the folds will improve and then any residual folds can be improved with fillers. For natural results, I would recommend to soften the folds and not fully remove them. I hope this helps. Best wishes. Dr. Salameh (Plastic surgeon - Bowling Green, KY)
