Hello, I am 30 and I’d like to soften and balance the nasolabial folds on my face. One side looks different than the other, and they seem to be slightly droopy. My injector said I’d need about 4 syringes of Voluma XC injected into my cheeks to achieve the softening effect. I’m concerned she wants to change the structure of my face by giving my cheeks a lift, which I don’t want. I want all work to be subtle, not change the overall look of who I am. What would you do?

Answer: NLFs Thank you for your question. It’s always difficult to give advice on these questions based on photos alone. But I’d agree with your injector that supporting the cheeks is the first place to start when addressing the nasolabial folds. Having said that, 4 syringes of Voluma is a fair bit. I might recommend starting with a smaller amount, see what that does for you, then add more if need be. Also make sure your injector looks at both lateral and anterior cheek; I usually use Volift in the anterior cheek (in Canada). Hope that helps! Good luck!

Answer: Soften nasolabial folds You are only 30 years old with decent cheek volume. I strongly encourage you not to get 4 syringes of Voluma in you cheeks. A single 1ml syringe of Juvederm should easily soften your nasolabial folds for 20% of the cost. You can always add more filler later if you are not satisfied.
