It seems like the nasolabial folds around my mouth have gotten deeper lately. Can they be filled in naturally with fillers?
Hello. Now that the weather is getting chilly, I feel like the wrinkles around my mouth are more noticeable every time I look in the mirror, so I am writing this post.
I’ve had some nasolabial folds for a while, but since the beginning of this year, whether I’m smiling or talking, the wrinkles feel deeply etched even when I’m not smiling. My husband has mentioned it to me a few times. I have a niece’s wedding next month and lots of neighborhood gatherings, so I’ll be taking a lot of photos, and it’s bothering me a bit.
I am looking into getting fillers because people around me say that naturally filling in areas makes facial expressions more relaxed and softens the overall impression. I am wondering if fillers are suitable for someone like me with thin and dry skin. I don't want to look unnatural from being too full; I would prefer just the sunken areas to be slightly filled in naturally. I am also curious how I should explain this during the consultation so that the filler can match the look I want.
I would also like to ask how long the filler usually lasts, and since it is my first time, what amount is appropriate. If anyone has experience with this, please give me some advice. I am also uploading a photo so you can see the current condition of the area around my mouth.

- 01CommentsSkin Botox differs from regular Botox in terms of injection depth and purpose, so it seems many people consult about it due to concerns regarding pores or skin texture. If you are worried about your facial expressions looking unnatural, please mention that beforehand. Also, check when the bumps typically subside and whether it is safe to receive this treatment concurrently with other procedures.320026.10.22
- 02CommentsI also have an unconscious habit of frowning, so I can relate to your concerns about frown lines haha. If you are worried about your expression looking awkward, I recommend mentioning that during the consultation first and discussing the dosage and your next visit date together!470026.10.22
- 03CommentsIt bothers you when wrinkles catch your eye on the meeting screen, doesn't it? Haha. Try showing them your habit of raising your eyebrows during the consultation as well. If you mention upfront that you want your facial expressions to look natural, it will help you convey your concerns more effectively.200026.10.22
- 01CommentsYour question about wanting to verify actual movement rather than repeating it every month is very specific. During the consultation, it would be helpful to first confirm whether the same approach is appropriate for the eye and nasolabial fold areas, and to receive guidance on recording methods for comparison under the same lighting and facial expressions. It would also make planning easier if you asked if you can receive a follow-up consultation without booking a next procedure, and inquired about the cost for that as well.790026.10.21
