Nasolabial folds at 23 years old. Fillers, implant, lift? (Photo)

U
user0nameFeb 15, 2023

I am 23 years old and have lower face heaviness. People often think I am much younger than I am, which is not a bad thing however my career requires me to be taken seriously - which is a struggle when you look 18. I like the appearance when I lift the sides of my face but a facelift is probably too extreme. I've had thread lift, it did not solve the issue. Would cheek implants/filler help?

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow,...
