Hi there, I am 32 and noticed my first line beside my mouth when I was 21. Since then they've become deeper and more noticeable. They are really bothering me. In some light they are not as visible but most of the time I believe they are. Any recommendations?

Answer: Mid Face Rejuvination Options I completely understand your frustration and concern, however better photographs and or physical examination would be optimal to provide complete recommendations. It appears from your photograph that fat transfer to your nasolabial folds and mid face would be your best option. You are still a bit young for a mini facelift and the amount of volume needed makes other injectable fillers a very expensive alternative. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in the area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

Answer: Treatment for deep NL folds Hi, looking at your photo, I think the best approach would be to use a long lasting volumizing treatment like a fat transfer or Bellafill with PRP (Vampire Facelift) to the lateral cheeks to pull up the folds a little bit with some volumization of the folds as well. I would then use a very superficial filler like Belotero or Restylane Silk to target any etching in the skin. Targeting just the folds without treating the volume loss in the cheeks would be a mistake as it will not look natural. You can also use products like Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, or Sculptra, but these are all temporary and with the volume that you will require, you will want to have a treatment that lasts for 5 years or more.
