I am 28 with fair sensitive Irish skin and I am beginning to develop, what I believe to be, nasolabial folds. I would like to do AS MUCH AS I CAN to treat the damage and prevent it from worsening. What would be my best option(s)? I have read that fillers are the best option but I am discouraged because they are so temporary and will add up in cost as time goes on. Is a facial lift too extreme or could it be the best move? I would like to attack this as aggressively as I can. Thank you so much!
Answer: I am developing nasolabial folds at age 28. Is a facial lift too extreme? Yes it is! #NLF #facelift #nasolabialfolds Nasolabial folds (aka: "smile lines" that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth bilateral) are a normal physical finding that is sometimes even present in babies and childrenAs we age, the nasolabial fold become more prominent starting in the 20s. Young patients in their 20s and 30s don't need a facelift to improve the nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds very often could be improved /correected with non-surgical plastic surgery like facial fillers. Soft tissue fillers based in hyaluronic acid like Juvederm or own fat ( fat transfer) could be used to fill the nasolabial folds, this correcting them and giving a youthful appearance to the face. Soft tissue fillers usually last for 1 year, and can be in the office setting in a walking basis. Fat transfer to the nasolabial folds lasts several years but requires a small minimally invasive surgical procedure.Patients interested in a nasolabial fold treatment should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in cosmetic plastic surgery of the face

Answer: Facelift Thank you for your question. At 28, yes, a facelift is a bit extreme. There are several non-surgical treatments that may work well for you. Dermal fillers could be the first option to address the nasal labial folds. There is also a treatment called Ultherapy that may be a good option. The fillers will fill in the lines and Ultherapy works by using ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production to slightly tighten the skin as well as slow down the aging process. Consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon is a good way to find out what you might be a candidate for as well as give you options..Best wishes.

Answer: At 28, you most likely do not have the amount of skin sagging that would necessitate a full surgical facelift. While age should not be the primary

Answer: A facelift is not particularly good for dealing with the nasolabial fold. At your age you certainly do not need a facelift. The nasolabial fold is generated by facial expression. Even though it can be directly addressed at the time of a thorough facelift it will reemerge because of facial expression. Fillers do a nice job of camouflaging this facial feature.
