Would Restylane in piryform fossa help for nasolabial folds? (photos)

Question

Filling in the lines makes my issue worse. I have a dip between nose and nasolabial fold. I recently learned about injections in the piriform fossa. Would regular restylane (not Lyft or anything newer) work for this area?

Jeffrey Lisiecki, MD · Answer

One of my favorite places to inject filler. The deep medial cheek loses volume with age, and filling it helps cheek shape and softens the nasolabial fold without stiffening the cheek. Done by an injector who is experienced in this technique and knows the anatomy, it is also a very safe place to inject filler. Regular Restylane is OK in this area, though I personally will typically use Radiesse, RHA4, or blended Voluma here.

Hi @Lotus_flower1074! Dermal fillers injected into the piriform fossa is a great was to help soften the appearance of the nasolabial fold. Restylane Defyne works great. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

fillers, threads, and plasma pen help folds. dermarolling at home weekly is important (see link).

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant or moxi regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8/pixel8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there,

Have a consultation with a Board Certified Injector the best product is likely the Restylane Refyne or perhaps the Contour.  You want something soft and that has some movement. 
See an expert! 
Best of luck!
