Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds (smile lines) deepen with midface volume loss and laxity. Dermatologists treat the cause by restoring cheek support, and soften the fold with filler, boosters or lifting.
Overview
Filling only the fold can look heavy; lifting the midface often gives a more natural result.
