Lately, the thing that bothers me most whenever I look in the mirror is my nasolabial folds. In the past, they were only slightly visible when I smiled, but nowadays, the lines are visible even when I'm just standing still, making me feel tired and older than my age. Even when I apply makeup, the foundation settles into the nasolabial folds, making them look even more prominent, which has really stressed me out.
I have had nose fillers before, but I didn't notice as much of a change as I expected, so I am considering getting nasolabial fold fillers this time. Some people around me say they are highly satisfied, while others say the effect fades quickly over time, so I can't easily make a decision. When I search online, I find it even more confusing because for nasolabial folds, it is common to recommend other procedures in combination with fillers depending on facial structure or the specific sunken areas, rather than just injecting fillers alone.
I don't want a face with excessive volume; I just want the nasolabial folds to be naturally alleviated. I would like it not to look awkward when I smile and not to be too noticeable. If anyone has received nasolabial fillers, I am curious to know how long the effects lasted and how satisfied you were. I would also like to know how long the bruising and swelling lasted, and whether the pain was bearable.
