I have heard different things from different surgeons, and it sounds like the opinions are quite different. What are the pros and cons liposuction on nasolabial lines? If its a no-go, what's another option? (not fillers, looking for a more permanent solution)
Answer: Deep Nasolabial Folds -- Liposuction, Fillers Juvederm/Radiesse/Sculptra/Restylane, PDO/Instalift Thread, UItherapy, Fractora liposuction doesn't do well on the face, the folds need lifting, threads, and fillers to get improvement. energy based devices like ultherapy, Thermage, and Fractora also help.Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction on nasolabial folds Liposuction is a procedure that removes fat, and is never indicated on the nasolabial creases (in my opinion). This is an area that requires volume addition as you age to soften the appearance of these lines. You may be referring to fat grafting which is a procedure that adds fat to these areas to increase soft tissue volume. Fat grafting is a more permanent solution than fillers, however it often requires several treatments because not all of the fat remains long-term with each grafting. Discuss your options with a qualified plastic surgeon. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Don’t Get Liposuction There! MissLVH Photos would help, however Liposuction is not a recommended treatment for deep nasolabial folds. If you are not interested in fillers, the next best option would be fat transfer to the folds. Mini Facelift may be another option. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

Answer: Treatment options for nasolabial fold in my 25 year career I have never heard anyone even mention liposuction of the nasal labial area. Some providers will do you fat transfer or fat grafting in this area but the standard of care will always remain long lasting fillers. Fat can be used but it is not as friendly as using fillers. Fat grafting is much better for giving defuse overall volume than creating volume in small specific areas like the nasolabial fold There are long-lasting fillers that are excellent options for those who do not want to do repeat procedures. Voluma and Radiesse can last as long as a year There are semi permanent fillers that can be used as well Find a reputable provider to help steer you in the right direction. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
