For the past few months, these nasolabial lines have started to bother me a lot. They make me look a lot older than I am. This may or may not be relevant but I make a lot of facial gestures and smile a lot :) I guess my cousin was right when she said smiling gives you wrinkles. I have always had very full cheekbones, but maybe the problem is them, maybe they have gotten flat. Should I get fillers for my nasolabial folds or my cheeks? And which kind do you prefer? What is your opinion? Thank you!

Answer: Cheeks or folds for filler From the photos, it looks like a primary midface issue. You can tell from the orbital hollows that are present specially towards the side of the eye. My approach would be to volumize the central made face, followed by the orbital hollows towards the side of the eye. If your folds still remain at that point, and you can place a small amount of filler in that area. This will likely take more than one syringe. Probably one and a half, but it's impossible to tell before doing the treatment.

Answer: Should I fill these nasolabial folds or the cheeks Based on the photographs it looks as if you have lost volume in orbital rim area, and the cheeks. The best long term treatment would be fat injection. SCULPTRA is a good alternative for orbital rim fat loss and descent. Any treatment should address the hollowness around your eyes. The loss of volume of your cheeks and last of all, the nasolabial folds. Consult with a Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. A plastic surgeon understands the anatomy and the aesthetic issues of balance.
