Nasolabial folds: Voluma in cheeks, volift or both? (Photo)

Question

I want reduce the prominent folds at the side of my mouth. What's the best approach? Add volume to the cheeks or treat the area directly? Or both? How much volume I need?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest a formal consult.  I rarely directly inject the folds nowadays.  Folds are often a result of loss of volume in the cheek or early skin sagging.  You may need filler around or under the folds to lift.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photograph.  I would recommend use of fillers in both your cheeks as well as the prominent folds along the sides of your mouth.  Voluma placement into your cheeks will restore tissue volume and will achieve a lift of the surrounding tissues, improving the folds near your mouth.  It will not remove them completely, so additional filler directly into them will also be needed.  Hope that this helps.
