After the filler injection, most of our patients notice a difference right after the nasolabial correction procedure. This is particularly correct for fillers and threads. Most people have face asymmetry, to begin with. Asymmetry may arise due to lifestyle, such as chewing and sleeping patterns. Dr. Kamal will determine the number of fillers or threads to use on each side. This decision will be based on the current situation. The goal is to achieve optimal outcomes.

Understanding Nasolabial folds

Though often associated with joy and expression, these lines can deepen with age, leading to a more pronounced appearance that some individuals may wish to diminish. To fully understand smile lines, we’ll break down their causes, characteristics, and the factors that can accentuate their appearance.

Causes

  1. Sign of aging: As we age, the skin loses elasticity and collagen, leading to sagging and the formation of smile lines.
  2. Facial Expressions: Regular smiling and other facial expressions can cause these lines to form and deepen over time.
  3. Sun Exposure: Chronic exposure to the sun can damage the skin and accelerate the aging process, contributing to smile lines.
  4. Smoking and Other Lifestyle Factors: Habits like smoking and poor nutrition may also play a role in the development of these lines.

Characteristics

  • Depth: Smile lines can vary in depth, from shallow to deep creases.
  • Length: These lines may extend from the nose to the mouth, with the length varying among individuals.
  • Symmetry: While generally symmetrical, differences in facial muscle use may cause variations in the appearance of smile lines on each side of the face.
