Dermal Fillers
What treatment is appropriate for a 22 year old with visible nasolabial folds?
There are a few nonsurgical options to help reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds. You can do dermal fillers containing lift properties such a Restylane Lyft. Often times fillers in the cheeks also help to reduce appearance by giving the mid face the support needed. If you're looking for a more permanent solution, you can discuss a potential fat transfer to the area. Just make sure you see a board-certified provider for further evaluation, as everyone is different!
Clinical Context
Nasolabial folds—the creases between the nose and mouth—are common at any age and vary with facial anatomy, skin thickness, and how much the cheeks are supported by underlying fat and bone. Seeing folds at 22 doesn't necessarily mean volume loss; it can simply reflect your natural facial structure. Because fold depth and skin quality differ person to person, a surgeon typically examines your face at rest and with movement to decide whether cheek support, direct filling, or fat grafting will give the most natural, long-lasting result.
