Nasolabial folds Treatmen in Otterbourne & Bishops Waltham
I see many patients who come to me unhappy with their nasolabial folds (lines from their nose to their mouth) who want filler. However it is not necessarily that straightforward. The nasolabial folds form as a result of ageing; we lose volume in our cheeks, because of the fat pads shrinking and the bone resorbing. But we actually gain volume in the nasolabial folds as firstly the fat pad in that area increases in size over time but secondly gravity pulls down the tissues from above.
At our clinic, conveniently located in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, and Alresford, we take a holistic approach to treating nasolabial folds. Rather than just focusing on the folds themselves, we consider the surrounding facial structures and aim to restore volume in the cheeks, where it’s typically lost with age. This approach helps to lift and rejuvenate the area, providing a more natural and youthful appearance.
If you’re concerned about your nasolabial folds and would like to explore a treatment plan tailored to your needs, book a consultation today at our clinic in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, or Alresford. We will guide you through the best options to restore your natural beauty!
If we just add filler to this fold without addressing the underlying cause then we create a mismatch and add to the area that has already gained volume but do nothing to address the area that has lost volume. This disharmony in treating the face is what can cause distortion and for people to look a bit weird or cat like. It goes without saying that this isn’t a look I want for my patients! Therefore it’s very important to treat the cause of ageing not just the signs. By treating the cheeks with filler you firstly create a more youthful look but secondly there are techniques used which can act as scaffolding for the face and literally lift up some of the tissues. This can indirectly help the nasolabial folds before any filler has gone near it. There will be occasions where I will still treat the nasolabial folds directly with filler but by treating the face harmoniously beforehand, less filler is required in the fold and most importantly the overall look is natural.
Aftercare
After treatment, I advise my patients not to do anything that will make them hot or flushed (red in the face) otherwise there is a risk of the Botox spreading to a muscle we are not intending to treat. Examples of this would be exercise, saunas, sunbeds (don’t use sunbeds ever anyway!), lots of alcohol or facials. After 24 hours you can do any of the above as the Botox won’t move after this.
