24 y/o considering a nonsurgical facelift for nasolabial folds - Which procedure would give me the best results?

Question

My main concerns right now are my pronounced nasolabial folds and the lower face. I've always had very pronounced nasolabial folds but I feel like after I lost some weight they deepen more. Even after losing more weight I don't think they will be ever gone. I've always also had full cheeks and more like a square face. When I smile the folds look worse and my face widen a lot. I'm 24 and I don't want to take a mini lift as an option at the moment. Please help, thank you.

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

AFB98 Thank you for sharing your photos. You have a rounder face. FaceTite or Renuvion to the lower and mid face combined with liposuction may help the mid and lower face, but it will not help the nasolabial fold much if at all.  I would recommend you discuss your wants  a surgeon who can honestly share expectations and limitation of nonsurgical facelift options.

Hello !

I would recommend to treat it FaceTite.

FaceTite™ is a versatile cosmetic procedure that can effectively address various conditions, including loose skin and fatty deposits in multiple facial areas. This innovative treatment is particularly effective in reducing the appearance of jowls, fat deposits under the chin, and nasolabial folds, commonly referred to as "laughter lines."

It is best to consult with a skilled board certified plastic surgeon for the best results.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
