Want to improve nasolabial folds: facelift or fillers? (photo)

If you are looking to define your face, at your age fillers and PDO threads are a better option than surgery. Surgery causes scar tissue and as you continue to age, this scar tissue can create challenges if you were to get another surgery later on.

There is a lot that can be done to sculpt and enhance your look with kybella, fillers, threads, and lasers. You have a beautiful facial symmetry, so not much would need to be done to bring a little more balance and enhance your look. Accentuating your cheekbones with filler will help soften the nasal-labial area.

Hello, and thank you for providing a photo along with your question. Based on your photo, you don’t appear to have advanced signs of aging or severe skin laxity. You don’t seem to need a facelift, and you may already achieve the results you desire from non-surgical skin rejuvenating procedures (although a proper skin evaluation is a must). For instance, you may try injectables. Dermal fillers can lessen the appearance of nasolabial folds by plumping the upper cheek or the area just below your smile lines.

If your folds are caused by a tight muscle, you may benefit from Botox injections. Sometimes, a combination of neuromodulators and dermal fillers will achieve the best results. You may also consider a PDO thread lift which uses absorbable stitches strategically placed underneath the skin to lift and enhance the balance and proportions of the face. To determine the best procedure(s) for you, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can properly assess your skin folds, determine the ideal treatment or combination of treatments for you, and ensure the best possible results.

Honest opinion... you don't need either. You have young beautiful face that does not need any intervention.
