I am 26 and already have nasolabial folds that make me look tired and older. I am wondering if HA in the folds would help, and if they would look natural, or if it is just the shape of my face that is wrong. I did loose and gain a lot of weight as a teen so I am guess my skin isn't firm anymore. What are the options? Am I too young for injections?

Answer: Fillers in the lower face From your photos, it appears that you would be a good candidate for fillers. They could be used to build volume in the lower face, softening shadows and improving highlights. You can certainly do this and maintain a natural look. If you wanted the nasolabial folds filled I would do it conservatively, because if filled too much it will look unnatural. I recommend seeing a facial plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your concerns.

Answer: Marionette lines Thank you for your question. Marionette lines are a sign of ageing. Fortunately they can be softened and even removed with a Hyaluronic acid filler. Restylane Refyne or Defyne are good options to give you a natural result. See an expert injector. Be well.

Answer: Improving Nasolabial Folds - Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, RF like VIVA, Peels, Fillers, Skin Care, Face Lift, Fat I recommend fillers for the lines themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
