Ideal Candidate
Nasolabial filler can be a good option for people who want to improve their smile lines.
Some ideal candidates include:
People with pronounced smile lines
People with folds around mouth
People over 40 who have lost facial definition due to aging
What to Expect
Patients meet with a professional to discuss their needs prior to the procedure. Oftentimes, the cheeks will be recommended as part of the injection to improve the nasolabial folds.
The filler is injected by the provider into specific areas like the cheeks, smile lines, and corners of the nose, delivering instant results.
The procedure takes about 10-20 minutes
Nasolabial fillers are generally safe, but no cosmetic procedure is completely risk free. As with any injection there is risk for vascular compromise.
Recovery
It is advised to refrain from disturbing the treated area following a cosmetic procedure. Touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the area can potentially displace the filler or lead to complications.
Additionally, it is recommended to avoid facials, dental work or massages for the first two weeks post-treatment.
Similarly, intense physical activity should be minimized for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Vigorous exercise can increase blood flow, potentially causing the filler to move from the treatment area.
Results
