What is the most effective procedure to get rid of my deep nasolabial folds / laugh lines?
RealSelf Actual Patient Comment:
I’ve had these deep nasolabial folds ever since I can remember, but they do seem to get more pronounced as I get older (I’m 43). What procedure do you recommend to soften these lines and lift my cheeks? There’s also my double-chin which I want to address. Would a neck lift, combined with a lower face lift give me the best results? I was thinking of fillers first, but I’d really prefer to get a procedure that’s more “permanent”.
A: There are both surgical and non-surgical options to help you achieve your facial aesthetic goals. Your nasolabial folds are caused by loss of bony volume in your cheeks. A quick non-invasive fix would be the proper use of facial fillers. A combination of non-invasive device treatment with fillers would give you an excellent result (Sculptra, Profound RF with PRP, light Fraxel, and Voluma.). This combination treatment is long lasting, 5-8 years. If you are ready for surgical treatment then a face/neck lift would correct your concerns. The most important aspect of any aesthetic procedure is making sure that you chose your treating physician most carefully based on their skill, experience, training, knowledge, and natural artistic vision. I would be happy to help you with a virtual or in person consultation. Good luck and be well.
