I'm worried that if I fill in the nasolabial folds too much, it might look unnatural.

Lately, even when I'm not smiling, I can see a slight shadow on my nasolabial folds, so I'm looking into fillers.

It's not deeply gouged yet, but it bothers me because when the light shines from above in photos, that part gets a particularly strong shadow.

However, while searching for nasolabial fold fillers, I came across information stating that simply filling the line itself a lot isn't always the answer, so I'm wondering if consultation is more important for this area than I initially thought.

I don't want to get rid of my nasolabial folds completely. I think it's natural for them to appear to some extent when smiling, and I just want to reduce the feeling of looking too tired when I'm not smiling.

During a consultation for nasolabial fold fillers, do you look not only at the sunken areas but also at the surrounding volume and overall facial structure?

I'm especially worried because I want to avoid a result where my face looks chubby lol

I am also wondering if getting too much filler could make my smile look heavy or change my facial expression.

Is it possible to receive a small amount initially, which might seem insufficient, and then review it again after a few days or weeks?

Also, since the area around the nasolabial folds might look different than usual due to swelling immediately after the procedure, I would like to know when the final shape can be determined.

For those of you who have received nasolabial fold fillers and only wanted a natural finish, how satisfied were you?

I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve a result where the impression becomes a bit more relaxed because the shadows are less visible, rather than the lines themselves disappearing.

Please let me know if there are any specific things I absolutely must ask during the initial consultation.
