This a question someone asked me on line about whether Facial Fillers completely removed the nasolabial folds because she hoped that some of it remains so that she can still smile:
With augmentation with Juverderm, the nasolabial folds will be reduced but they will not completely go away. When you smile the nasolabial folds will deepen with the action of the muscles but will not be totally gone with juvederm injections. Also juverderm will only last around a year or less. This is a temporary treatment. Also if you don’t like the augmentation or what was done there is an enzyme injection that can be administered that will take away some of the juvederm if you desire. Experience is important to make sure that too little or too much is given with these injections.
I refined an amazing volumizing procedure called “the YoungLift”. This is an innovative technique that volumizes your face to bring out the younger and natural you without looking like you had something done. This is not a facelift and requires no incisions. Only pinpoint puncture sites are used and these heal imperceptibly. The YoungLift can be done without general anesthesia and without drains, and large bandages. You also have a lot less downtime and discomfort compared with traditional facelift procedures. I employ the very best techniques from around the world into one volumizing procedure and he uses his internationally acclaimed understanding of facial beauty to create the youthful volume you once had. The YoungLift techniques can help with filling up the lips as well. You can great results with fat injections in the lips.
