Does having nasolabial folds mean my midface is recessed?

[IBlameBluePill]

A bit of context is i'm a younger person and i had to get braces and they retracted my teeth back because i had overcrowding they took four teeth out and from what i hear is that this causes midface/maxillary recession i've noticed slight nasolabial folds and now im worried im not necessarily ugly im maybe Hltn. Also a key factor is i'm not fat im really skinny so does having nasolabial folds mean its over, and can i fix it. I have decent mandibular growth for my age but when i look at myself from the side i see it's over pretty much and whenever i see this i wanna rope. Please help.

yes

and also bad nasolabial fat insertions, so weightloss can help if you've had them to any degree since you were a kid

nah

my nasolabial folds were 10x worse at 15 than they are at 20. weight loss, PRF injections, and peptides seemed to be the answer. i still got them but they keep getting better as i drop cheek fat, though i wanna try pdo threads once i lose enough fat.

Nasolabial folds are normal, even babies have them. So it’s not that they just started appearing. They were always there.

Yeah i have baby fat and i have really chubby cheeks so maybe i just have to wait for puberty

they became more prominent but i have chubby cheeks because i haven't really started puberty

It’s probably a facial fat issue rather than a recession thing.

If recession was the reason for nasolabial folds then Matt Bomer and Jon Erik Hexum wouldnt have slight folds

i was thinking that but wasn't sure but yes i do have a chunk of fat around the lateral zygomatic arch and just around my mouth in generally but i dont get why im skinny

Usually people that are underweight experience nasolabial folds. You also stated that you are entering puberty in a later message. Your facial fat distribution, zygomatic arches and your midface height/width projection will continue changing throughout puberty, if you notice no results after puberty I would consult an orthodontist or a maxillofacial specialist

I appreciate that my bone structure isn't the worst i just had noticed people saying it meant recession and i got worried but they must have been larps

 

[svarddre]

Not always. Hexum had them

so during puberty it could be related to fat distribution instead of a bone structure issue? i seem to have a lot of fat in specific parts of my cheek like in the middle which causes lines below my eyes and vertically

picture is an example of what i mean
