30s, how to treat nasolabial folds due to myopathy? (Photos)

Question

I have a congenial myopathy and have what they call a 'myopathic mouth' so I have nasolabial folds and downturned corners. I am in my 30's so I also have a degree of volume loss, however, 3ml of Restylane lift filler to my mid cheek did absolutely NOTHING to improve my nasolabial folds, even when I was told it WOULD. It was then recommended that I look into surgery. I am very disappointed as I spent a lot of money with no improvement.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer
