Greetings Docs, 24 year old w very apparent nasolabial lines - I have very typical east Asian features - rounded face, button nose, minimal cheekbones. Left side wrinkle/line is deeper than right. What are the better options, in my case, to correct them? Would a nose job/facial structural alteration potentially aid in minimizing these lines? My worry is that I won't look like me if there's too much change - I do like my face, mostly. P.S. Both sides of my family have deep nasolabial folds. Thanks!
Answer: Nasolabial Lines Are Easily Treated With Fillers First, let me say that by no means are your smile lines "harsh." So, don't be so hard on yourself. Second, these days treating nasolabial folds nonsurgically is quite simple with fillers, takes only a few minutes to perform, and typically engenders an immediate "Wow!" response. What's more, in experienced hands, the results should leave you looking improved and like yourself, without any other facial distortions, i.e. just with decreased smile lines. So relax, go easier on yourself, and be sure to seek consultation and treatment by a board certified aesthetic core physician and make sure he/she shows you before and after photos of Asian patients treated for smile lines.

Answer: Hyaluronic acid Dermal Fillers Hi @likesflowers. I would suggest you consider hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Restylane Defyne for your nasolabial folds/laugh lines. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Smile lines thanks for the photos. that's helpful. sometimes such deep lines that only extend half way thru in a patient as young as yourself can be the result of over-active muscles that help elevate the muscles that make you smile. I have a combined sorta approach for treating such lines. it all depends on who you see for the correction of these lines.

Answer: Nasolabial folds Hyaluronic acid fillers are certainly a very safe and effective option for treating nasolabial folds.I would advise you to see a clinician with proven results and extensive experience in treating this area. I think it would be preferable to be conservative at your young age and try to avoid "over-filling" this area as this can lead to a very "plump" and unnatural appearance. Discuss your concerns in detail with your doctor and come to a mutual and well-informed decision.

Answer: Fillers for smile lines I agree with the other doctors on this thread. I think a hyaluronic acid-based filler would give you a very nice correction without changing your face too much. I would recommend either Juvederm Ultra or Restylane for this area. One to two syringes may be required for optimal results. Good luck.
