What are nasiolabial folds?
Causes:
- Sun damage
- Smoking
- Drugs
- Poor bone support
- Ageing (skin and fat sacks down)
- weight loss/low bodyfat (lines appear deeper because of have less upper cheek fat)
Why fix it:
It looks unattractive. However mild fold on a male looks stilll okay while its a death setence for a woman. this should be also keep in mind if the folds are corrected since its can easily look overdone on a male patient.

How to fix it:
There basically two options:
Fat Grafts and Fillers like Juverdem:
A. Juvederm
Pros:
- Quick and easy, cheaper than fat grafts
- Immediate results
- Lasts only 6-18 months.
- If you have deep folds, it is not cost effective.
- Over a period of time, as you get repeated injections, more expensive than fat grafts
Pros:
- Can be permanent with the right surgeon.
- Can correct large areas.
- It is your own tissue
- 3 week period of swelling
- More expensive
- Need to do research on who uses proper technique for fat grafting
Quote:Most physicians will agree that fat transfers may offer a much longer result and prove to be quite cost effective in the long run. However, fat transfers requires another invasive procedure in order to harvest the fat with technique being crucial. Even with the most advanced techniques and instruments, there is a higher percentage of unpredictability with fat transfers than with the use of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, etc.
Being able to reach for a cosmetic dermal filler product and have a minimally invasive procedure with immediate results seems to be the best option for nasolabial folds. There will be far less swelling and recovery with dermal fillers vs. fat transfers. Make certain you discuss all of your options with your physician as only you and your practitioner will be able to decide which is the best treatment plan.
Also a midface lift would probably do the job.
