NOSE TO MOUTH LINES
The nasolabial folds are the deep creases running from either side of the nose down towards the corners of the mouth. These are often referred to as nose to mouth lines.
These creases become more noticeable as part of the natural ageing process. With increasing age, fat is lost from the cheeks which causes volume loss in the mid face area making this fold appear deeper. The fat pad just above this line gets heavier with age making the line even more pronounced.
I always assess cheek volume before treating the nasolabial lines because often restoring volume in the cheeks in combination with the nasolabial folds results in a better overall appearance.
However, some people have good cheek volume and benefit from direct injection of filler into the nasolabial crease alone, as demonstrated in the before and after image.
The after photo was taken immediately following treatment, hence redness and swelling is present. Once this has resolved the result will be a natural softening of these lines.
