Nasal lip fold

A nose-lip fold treatment with fillers is all about creating the desired shape and contour through volume restoration. During the intake interview, the doctor assesses the depth of lines and texture of the skin and a treatment plan is drawn up. Sometimes it is necessary to treat other areas on the face as well for best results. After taking preliminary photographs and completing the health statement and consent form, treatment can begin. The area is cleaned and disinfected, then the right amount of filler is injected under the skin in the exactly right place. Natural volume is restored almost immediately and grooves are visibly reduced or disappear completely.

Nasal lip folds, also known as smile lines, are the lines that appear from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth. As we age, our skin loses volume and elasticity, which can lead to deeper nasolabial folds.

Treatment of nasolabial folds with fillers involves injecting (hyaluronic acid) fillers under the skin to fill the folds and create a more youthful appearance.

Treatment of nasolabial folds with fillers usually takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated and the amount of filler needed.

It is normal for patients to experience some pain or discomfort during nasolabial fold treatment with fillers because needles are used to inject the filler under the skin. Some patients have a higher pain threshold than others and experience less pain than others. To reduce pain, the doctor may apply a numbing cream to the skin before treatment.

The results of a nasolabial folds treatment with fillers are visible for 8-12 months, depending on the fillers used, life-style and the patient’s individual reaction.

As with any medical treatment, there are some possible side effects that can occur after treating nasolabial folds with fillers, such as redness, swelling, bruising, pain and sensitivity at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and disappear within a few days to a week.
