Nasolabial Filler

Nasolabial filling can be applied to people who face deep wrinkles, lines and sagging problems in the nasolabial area, which extends from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. The depression in the cheeks further reveals wrinkles and deepening in the nasolabial area. Nasolabial filling is especially recommended for people with these two types of conditions. Nasolabial filling can be applied to anyone, young or old, as long as there is no disabling disease.

The lines between the nose and lips, also known as laugh lines, become more visible, especially with advancing age. Even when we are not smiling, the lines there are still clearly visible. Some people may encounter this problem at earlier stages, depending on the shape of the face and the structure of the skin. Surgical interventions are performed to correct nasolabial lines. These lines are tried to be hidden with some filling and fat injection methods. Thanks to the filling work, a flatter and smoother appearance is provided to the area. However, in cases where the line is deeper and lower, the filling process may be insufficient. In this case, the person is directed to treatments that require surgery. However, surgery is generally considered suitable for patients over the age of 50. Filling procedure can be easily applied to patients who are under the age of 50 and whose lines are not deepened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Nasolabial Filling Done?

It is of great importance to intervene in the nasolabial area at an early age. The most suitable and healthy fillers for nasolabial filler treatment are those containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the essential substances in the body. Therefore, after the filling, the body does not feel any foreignness towards the substance. A more natural and healthier result is achieved.
Fillers containing hyaluronic acid do not cause any allergic reactions because they easily adapt to the body. At the same time, it does not harm tissues.

Before the treatment, the patient is examined by the doctor and the amount and type of filling is determined.
Before nasolabial filling is performed, the area where the application will be applied is anesthetized using local anesthesia.
After numbness is achieved, filler is applied to the nasolabial area at regular intervals using a syringe containing the filling material. In this way, the pits and grooves in the region are largely prevented.
People who have fillers gain a healthier and more vigorous appearance. During nasolabial filling, factors such as the amount and material of the filling vary depending on the patient.
Nasolabial filling treatment, performed by experts in the field, takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
Although it varies from patient to patient, the treatment may take several sessions. In the first session, not all of the filler is injected into the area. In this way, excess filling is prevented from causing discomfort to the patient. For this reason, the filling process is usually spread over several sessions. In this way, the person treated can continue his life without any problems immediately after the procedure is completed.
The effects of nasolabial filling are seen immediately after the procedure. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid take approximately 2 weeks to absorb water. Therefore, it takes effect a little later.

After Nasolabial Filling

No side effects are observed after nasolabial filling treatment. Since only a needle is used in the application, minor redness or bruises may be observed after the procedure. However, bruises and redness disappear on their own in a short time. To get faster results, the person being treated can use extra cream.
It is important that nasolabial filling is performed correctly and completely by an expert team. In such procedures, the effect can be seen immediately after the treatment. After the procedure using local anesthesia, the treated person can immediately return to his/her daily life. In this way, there is no disruption in the person's daily work.
Although nasolabial filling treatment is an easy and fast procedure, there are a few small points to pay attention to after the operation. These are as follows:

Facial massages that will cause damage to the muscles in the facial area should be avoided.
Too much pressure should not be applied to the face and care should be taken to rest it.
Especially in the first days after the treatment, facial expressions that will tire the face excessively should not be made.
Sudden reactions should be avoided.
It is recommended not to take extremely hot showers or enter the sauna, Turkish bath or pool for the first week after the procedure. In the first days, make-up should not be applied to the skin and acidic facial cleansing gels should not be used. If these issues are taken into consideration, the treated area can heal in a short time and regain its former state.

Is Nasolabial Filler Permanent?

The permanence of nasolabial filling varies from person to person. The permanence period of the procedure is generally observed to be between 9 and 18 months. The person's lifestyle, environmental conditions, the permanence of the substance in the filling and smoking affect the permanence of the filling. Therefore, the person must carefully examine the points that need to be taken into consideration after the procedure. At the same time, one should eat healthy for skin health and consume harmful substances as little as possible. In nasolabial filling treatment, if the person has achieved the desired appearance, it can be repeated after 6 months, regardless of how much its permanence decreases. With regular procedures, an increase in the permanence of the filler is observed after a while.
