27 year old female developing nasolabial folds. Best options for reducing the rapid appearance? (photos)

Question

I am a thin 27 y/o female who looks younger, but my nasolabial lines are now giving me away.I take great care of my body through nutrition & exercise but have a nasolabial crease that is increasingly making its self apparent. What would be a good way to reduce the appearance of these pesky age marks.While browsing forums I'm wondering​ if Restylane or Juvederm is the best option or if tightening the cheek area would be recommend.Interested in instant solutions as well as preventative techniques.

Dear Taterstot,Thank you so much for your question.  I would recommend the use of a  hyaluronic acid filler.  This is a type of filler that can be "reversed"  if you do not like the appearance.   There are a number of products including Voluma, Vollure, Juvederm Ultra plus, Perlane, etc. In my personal opinion, Restylane has low viscosity and does not last long. Juvederm is good, but better products by the company that makes Juvederm are available.  I also recommend that you are treated by a board certified specialist who has an in depth knowledge of these products and techniques with proven results. I hope this helps you find your answer.  Be healthy and be well, James M. Ridgway, M.D., FACS

Thank you for sharing your question and photos. You are an excellent candidate for dermal fillers to replenish the volume in your midface and to disguise your early nasolabial folds. In my practice, I have had excellent results using Juvederm Vollure just above the nasolabial fold to restore volume to this area. Depending on your injector’s assessment, you may also benefit from a small amount of filler directly beneath the nasolabial fold. However, these injections must be don’t carefully because this area will look unnatural if overfilled. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified specialist who is experienced with dermal fillers. He/she should be able to evaluate you in person and make more specific recommendations. Best of luck!

Hello, Thank you for your question. You would benefit from a new filler called Restylane Refyne. It is specifically created for that area. It is designed to move naturally with your expressions. Please consult with a local physician to make sure you are a good candidate for this! Good luck :)

Hi Taterstot.
You need several things for the best outcome.
1) a formal evaluation with a plastic surgeon.
2) dermal fillers in the laugh lines and possibly the midface for the best results.
3) skin care including daily treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, etc...
