My cheeks have fallen inward, causing deeper nasolabial folds and a less heart shaped face. The cheeks have fallen inward toward my nose more so than down, so I don't think pulling straight up on the cheek would be a natural-looking solution. Is there a midcheek lift that would pull more outward? Can this be done endoscopically? I don't really have an issue with my jawline, it's just the fat pads beside my nose.
Answer: Nasolabial Grooves Though you may be seeing somewhat of an exaggeration of your nasolabial grooves (& folds), they are still not what I would consider to be very prominent. The easiest approach to "softening" them would be through the use of fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or fat. I do not think it warrants surgical intervention.

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care 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 (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: How you may benefit from dermal fillers Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Because you don’t show substantial signs of aging, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are likely your best option for treating the nasolabial folds you’re referring to. By strategically administering filler to the areas needed, volume can be restored and the skin lifted to provide a smooth, youthful appearance.

Answer: Robust HA Fillers Properly Injected In Cheek Can Lift & Improve Smile Lines As a natural part of the facial aging process, there is a loss of fat in the cheek fat pads and this resulting volume deficit that now allows gravity to pull the remnants of the cheek fads downward and inward (not straight down), which, in turn, is responsible for the development and worsening of smile lines (nasolabial folds/jowls). So, in the hands of an expert robust HA filler injector it is a simple process to restore the lost volume in the upper outer cheek regions, which in turn not only returns the face to a more desirable feminine oval, heart-shaped face shape, but lifts the face in such a way to substantially diminish the smile folds. And, this can be achieved in about ten minutes--five minutes per side--with results that typically elicit an immediate "Wow!" reaction and can last up to two years. So, take heart, no need for surgery. Just be sure to consult with an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector. Best of luck.
