Do I look older than 26? Is it normal to have this at this age? What can I do about my nasolabial fold and under eyes? (Photo)

Question

I really want to do something about my under eye and nasolabial fold. Everyone tells me its normal for my age but i think this makes me look tired and older. Should i do something about this now or should i wait till i get older? The lines on the right pic look darker than in person because of the shadow. Any suggestions on what i should get done?

Hi @aa0714. Thank you for sharing your photos.  You would be a great candidate for hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in the tear trough and nasolabial folds/laugh lines.  Restyane and Belotero work great in the tear trough and Restylne Defyne works great in the nasolabial folds. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

lines and depressions...but whether you want to go forward is a combination of what you want and feedback from your peer group...some people are extremely bothered by minimal lines and they want treatment when others would be more hesitant...I see people all day who come in complaining of problems other than obvious defects that my staff and I assume are the significant issues...so if you want some filler in your tear troughs and nasolabial creases, no argument...but if you want to wait for awhile, still no argument...you decide

Daniel P. Friedmann, MD · Answer

From the photos you have presented, it looks like you would benefit from an undereye filler into the tear trough area, in order to to help smooth the transition from your lower eyelids to the upper part of your cheeks. A hyaluronic acid filler works best in this delicate area, and can easily be reversed/dissolved for any reason. Please see a link to my Dark Circles chapter below. All the best.
