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

January 1, 2023
Asked By:GreenEyes85 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

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 says:

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO says:

Thank you for sharing your questions and posting your photos. It appears that your cheek has fallen a bit, there is some fat prolapse and an apparent tear trough.
