Nasolabial Fold Filler
What Is It For?
The nasolabial folds, or better known as “smile lines” can be easily addressed with filler. These folds can deepen over time with age and loss of support from the mid-face. Assessment of this area is critical to creating optimal results. Patients should be aware that there will always be some degree of fold present, as this is a normal anatomical presentation.

Our Approach
At Lushful Aesthetics we address nasolabial folds utilizing filler with the fern technique. This technique is designed to inject filler very superficially into the dermis to strengthen the tissue. Research has shown that filler injected too deep in this region leads to more migration due to the degree of dynamic movement in the perioral region. By injecting superficially we are able to airbrush these lines for a softer look without worrying about filler migration.
Avoid alcohol consumption for 3 days prior to receiving injections.
Consult with your medical provider if you are able to discontinue blood thinning medication such as Ibuprofen, Excedrin, Aspirin, Aleve, and Fish Oil.
Do not wear makeup to your appointment.
FAQs
How long does nasolabial and perioral filler last?
The perioral area and nasolabial folds are areas of intense dynamic movement. Therefore filler will not last as long in these areas compared to the cheeks, chin, and jawline. Patients should expect to touch up these areas up every 8-12 months. But we always assess patients prior to refilling, as we never want to overfill.
Can nasolabial and perioral filler be dissolved?
Yes. Because we only utilize hyaluronic acid based fillers in the nasolabial and perioral area, they can be completely dissolved.
How long does it take for filler to settle?
Filler typically takes at least 2 weeks to settle. However, some patients may have residual swelling and therefore should expect to wait at least 4 weeks to appreciate the final result.
