I am 33 years old and my nasolabial folds have always been noticeable even at a very young age but I feel they have gotten worse and I want to start juverderm injections but I was wondering how much would I need I am posting a picture so it can be used to help determine how many syringes I will need.

Answer: Aesthetic Philosophy and Artistic Vision Trump "How Many Syringes of This or That I Need?" Hi I,The treatment of using fillers in the face has evolved over the past several years. In the past we concentrated on "filling lines", such as the nasolabial folds that you are asking about. Today, we think in terms of your overall facial appearance and correcting/replacing the volume that causes the lines, folds, and wrinkles rather than just filling the wrinkle. Nasolabial folds (smile lines) are the result of the loss of volume (fat and bone) in your upper face. It is better to address the cause of your problem rather than just try to fix the result of the volume loss. Therefore, if you were our patient, we would fully evaluate your facial structure and decide where to put filler that would best suit you. In general, a patient such as yourself would receive 1 to 2 syringes of Voluma in their upper face before even consideration of putting anything into your nasolabial folds. Too much filler in the NLF's results in an unnatural "sausauge" appearance. If I was limited to only filling your NLFs with Juvederm I would conservatively place 1 syringe and recheck you in 1-2 weeks for possibly a little more. Most importantly, when considering facial filler treatment make sure to choose your injecting physician most carefully based on their experience, skill, caring nature, and natural artisitic vision. Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

Answer: How many syringes of juvederm will I need for my nasolabial folds? In most cases, two syringes will create significant improvement for you. This does depend upon what type of result you are looking for. Some are seeking a very subtle improvement and one syringe is adequate. You can discuss with your injector and determine how to best achieve your goals. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
