Nasolabial folds that look deep even when at rest—fillers vs. lifting, which is the right choice?

Lately, the first thing I notice whenever I look in the mirror is my nasolabial folds. In the past, they were only slightly visible when I smiled or made a face, but at some point, the line running from the side of my nose to the corners of my mouth became clearly visible even when I was just sitting still with a blank expression. It’s upsetting to see these wrinkles etched so clearly even when I’m not making any facial expressions; it makes me look older and tired for no reason.

I'm confused whether the wrinkles are deepening because my skin elasticity has decreased as the weather gets drier, or if they are getting deeper as the elasticity in my lower face sags. It is stressful because even when I apply makeup, creasing in my nasolabial folds gets worse or my wrinkles look more prominent by the afternoon.

So now I'm thinking of getting a little help from a procedure. I absolutely don't want my face to look puffy or unnatural; I just want the lines to be filled in or smoothed out as naturally as possible.

For the nasolabial folds, is simply using fillers to fill in the deeply sunken areas the answer, or would it be better to look into lifting procedures that raise the entire lower face (such as InMode or Shurink) or regenerative injections like Juvelook?

For those of you who have received treatment for nasolabial folds that are visible even when you are not doing anything, I am curious to know what kind of aftercare or procedure you used to see results! It would be a great help if you could share your experiences or advice regarding pain, bruising, duration of the results, and how natural they look.

  • 팔자는 그늘이 깊으면 필러, 처짐 때문이면 리프팅이라고 들었어요. 어떤 쪽인지 상담 받아보시면 좋을 것 같아요
