Does filler in nasolabial folds look funny when you smile? (Photo)

Question

I've been considering getting fillers in my nasialabial folds but worried it will make my smile look funny. I can't find any pictures on the Internet of a full smile after fillers! Also, are fillers for my smile line what you would suggest? I just don't like the way my lower face looks ...

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

it is likely that you need fillers into the cheek and surrounding areas to lift the folds so that you do not look puffy in this area. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist who uses cannulas and can do facial "contouring" with fillers rather than just line filling.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @anastasiabeaverhousen. No, if the filler is placed correctly, it should not alter your smile.  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

Hi MT.  Dermal fillers work best in the area round the mouth to correct a line or fold that you have while NOT smiling.  Although they can help to smooth the lines you have when you smile, it would look unnatural if you put too much in to correct lines you only see while smiling.  Your smile looks very natural and we would not recommend making changes to it with fillers at this time.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

in the hands of an experienced injector nasolabial fold fillers should look very nice whether you are relaxed or smiling.

Filling in the nasolabial grooves with a filler such as radiesse  looks very natural and is easy to undergo.
