Nasolabial folds/smile lines. What can I do to lessen them? (Photo)

It is normal to have a visible groove in between your porous cheek skin and your smooth upper lip. If this is causing you grief, please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists to discuss the possibility of utilizing injectable fillers. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

No need to hate your face. First, your smile lines are not so prominent. And, they can be easily treated by an experienced, cosmetic dermatology filler expert. A robust HA volumizing filler can be used for the cheeks, which would not only create a more ideal, feminine, heart-shaped, oval face, but secondarilly improve the smile lines. And if still necessary (unlikely), the smile lines can be addressed directly with a low viscosity, cohesive, malleable HA filler to further elevate and smooth them. The results of these approaches are typically immediate and engenders little to no significant downtime. So, no need to continue to fret. Just make sure to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert and ask to see his/her befores and afters prior to undergoing any treatment. Best of luck.

Fillers are a great way to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. The treatment is done in the office with results lasting approximately a year. Morpheus8 treatments can enhance your filler results by improving overall skin tone and texture. We recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
