I’ve just turned thirty and in the last few weeks I’ve developed an intense nasolabial fold and Marionette line on the left side of my face. I’ve always had quite intense smile lines since I was young. Just wondering why this is happening on one side of my face , (I wear sunscreen everyday and sleep on my back) and what is the best way to improve it I look 15 years older then I am

Answer: Best way to fix marionette lines It's very normal to develop some nasolabial folds and marionette lines. This is due to gravity and/or muscular mimic activities (intense smiling). It is also normal to have slight asymmetries from one side to another. Non-surgically, you can use dermal fillers or a PDO thread lift to correct it.

Answer: Treatment for NLF and marionette lines We are all asymmetric and most of us have a long and short side of our face. So that could contribute. But additionally, we can use our muscles of facial expression more on one side, which can also cause deepened lines or folds on that side as well. Without seeing you making expressions and your full face on frontal I cannot fully assess. But you may benefit from some filler on the left side (possible malar cheek) but at the piriform fossa, as well as at the commissure and below the lip to help support the lips and minimize the marionette line. Could also consider botox/dysport to the DAO. Hope this is helpful.Rosa B Lipin, MDFacial Plastic Surgeon
