Nasolabial-fold filler procedures can improve your facial appearance. It is best performed by a cosmetic surgeon who is experienced in injecting dermal and hyaluronic acid fillers. It can also improve your cheek volume.
Dermal fillers
Dermal fillers can improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. These injectables can be used to reduce the depth of the wrinkles. They give the skin a smooth appearance. Within nine to twelve weeks, patients can expect to see visible improvements.
Patients should know that dermal nasolabial fold treatment is not an inexpensive procedure. The price varies depending on the type of treatment and brand name used. It also depends upon how much filler was used. It may also vary between regions, so it's important to discuss cost before getting the procedure. Your provider may offer financing options if your policy doesn't cover the cost.
Hyaluronic acid filler
For the treatment of nasolabial area folds, Hyaluronic Acid dermal Filler can be used. The folds form due to loss of collagen and elastin. The loss of collagen and elastin can also result from smoking and too much sun exposure. This filler can soften the wrinkles and create a smoother appearance.
Hyaluronic acid filler injection is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting filling materials into the folds. The results can be seen in as little as a week and last for up to 18 month. Hyaluronic acid filler injections, unlike other injection techniques are safe and efficient.
Bruising
After a nasolabialfold filler injection, patients may experience bruising. This is caused by the Tyndall effect, which occurs when the filler's needle damages nearby blood vessels and blood leaks into the surrounding tissue. Although it is temporary, the Tyndall effects can last up to several months. Moreover, nasolabial fold filler takes up to nine months to break down, so bruising is to be expected.
In order to minimize the intensity of the bruise, you can apply a Lasonil cream or a Hirudoid cream. These creams can also be bought over-the counter and should be used gently.
Necrosis
The use tissue fillers may lead to a serious problem called nasolabial fold necrotics. There are several options for treating this condition. One option is to use local flaps, or free grafts. These types of treatments should be performed at least six months after necrosis if the surrounding tissues are healthy and the deformity has not deteriorated. If necrosis is severe, you may consider reconstructive rhinoplasty. This is only recommended for patients with non-arterial blood vascular compromise.
This complication may be caused by vascular compromise. The problem may affect the nasal bridge, glabella and lateral nasal vessels, which provide blood to this area. Sometimes, the problem can spread to the nasal ala or the septum, which are connected to the ophthalmic arterial. The majority of the time, however, the vascular problem in the nasolabialfolds happens in the columellar vein and does not involve either the facial nor columnellar vessels.
Permanence
The nasolabial line is a deep, crease that runs from one side of the nose to the other. Because of its distinctive shape, this area is sometimes called the "parentheses lines". These folds naturally develop and are visible in children when they smile. It's possible to permanently improve your facial contour if you are unhappy with these lines.
A low cost, small amount of dermalfiller could be an option. A doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on the severity of the folds. If you are concerned about budget constraints, have had problems with dermal fillers, want subtle results or have a history of skin conditions, a lower dosage is recommended. If you don't see the results you're seeking, your doctor will use a smaller dose first and repeat the procedure as necessary.
