Don’t Chase Your Nasolabial Folds

written by Dr. Sarah Ludlow

The most common thing that we see with new dermal filler clients is a focus on those deep lines that develop at the sides of our nose and mouth. Often asking us to fill them, clients have had them filled in the past, over and over again and can’t understand why those deep lines don’t improve. The problem is…they never had volume there in the first place….and putting it there now won’t fix the problem.

What you are seeing is the result of bone loss to your outer cheek and fat loss of your mid cheek. Focus your attention and your treatment there. At FACES STL our injectors have extensive training in them many aspects of the aging face and understand that where we see the results of structural loss is not always the source of the problem. Having an injector that your trust and listening to their recommendations on proper filler placement will get a client much closer to their goals then trying to fill a nasolabial fold.
