Can i improve the look of my lower face with filler? (Photo)

Question

I am really insecure about my nasolabial lines, my thin lips, and what look to me like sagging corners of my mouth which is probably just my natural fat distribution. I'm 5'2 and weigh 109lbs so it isn't a weight issue. What type of filler would be best and approximately how many syringes I would need to get a significant improvement? Is there another procedure that would help?

Hi @floranova! Fillers provide structural support and plumpness restoring a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. I would start off with 1 syringe of Restylane Refyne in the nasolabial folds and 1 syringe of Restylane Kysse or Defyne in your lips. I recommend seeking treatment from an expert injector who has the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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

Hello, and thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for dermal fillers. These injectables can help refresh your lower face by restoring volume to correct nasolabial folds and marionette lines, as well as augment your lips. To know which type of filler is best and how much product to use, I recommend consulting with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with extensive experience with injectables. These experts will have the skill to precisely inject filler with the right dosage into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. They also know the most advanced injection techniques to achieve facial balance and ensure you safely achieve your desired results.

Fillers are are a good choice to improve the lips, nasolabial folds and oral folds.  The photos that you submitted demonstrate only minimal volume is needed for correction.  See an expert injector near you to discuss your concerns and learn about the various fillers available.

Hi, thanks for your question and photos. I don't see a great problem with those bags on the sides of your mouth. You could have great results with dermal fillers. Consult an esthetic doctor in your area for a physical exam. Good luck!
