Can you completely eradicate my nasolabial folds with fillers?
|
What can I expect after receiving fillers in my nasolabial and melolabial folds?The filler may be palpable for the first few days but will not be visible. Over a few days, fluid gets absorbed by the hyaluronic acid fillers and the hydroxyapatite fillers (Radiesse): thereafter, the fillers are not palpable. Once settled, the face will look rested, refreshed and natural. It is always wise to be conservative with fillers: one
can always inject more if needed. |
Lips, in youth, have a fullness as well as distinct structures: the pink part of the lip goes on to the white roll which then gives way to the smooth skin of the areas above and below the lips. These edges become fuzzy with age and the pink part of the lips bleeds into the skin of the mouth, so that when lipstick is applied, it tends to bleed into these lines. The skin above and below the lips loses collagen (more rapidly in smokers and sun-worshipers), and develops vertical lip lines, Certain races (the northern European Scandinavian races in particular), are prone to develop lines earlier than in pigmented races. The upper and lower lip lines are more pronounced when we purse the lips. They are often called “smokers’ lines” even in non-smokers. They are sometimes termed marionette lines, but this term of marionette lines should really be reserved for the lines that go from the corner of the mouth to the chin: the melolabial folds.

Marionette lines are lines or grooves that run from the corners of your mouth down to the bottom of your chin. They can give your lower face a slightly saggy look, or make the corners of the mouth look frowny or downturned.
A number of different fillers work well to improve the appearance of Marionette lines: juvederm, restylane, perlane, radiesse and others. The correct type of filler is chosen to give you the best result: the choice will depend upon your age, the depth of the grooves, the state of the surrounding structures and the desired outcome. Most fillers in these grooves will last between six andnine months. If the lines are deep, you will need one vial on each side. |
