Folds and wrinkles in the area of the nasolabial triangle begin to appear in women over the age of 35. The modern market offers a wide range of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products to correct this deficiency, however, not all of them are effective and safe. Using even the highest quality creams, serums, masks, you can get a short-term, unnoticeable effect. It is recommended to resort to surgical intervention in extreme cases, since after the operation there is a long recovery period, and various adverse reactions may develop.
Indications for use
Correction of nasolabial folds with fillers is recommended for people aged 30 to 50 years. Indication for use is the appearance of characteristic deep creases in the nasolabial area. It is these folds that “weight” the face and give it a tired look.
You should not resort to this method to prevent wrinkles. The use of fillers for nasolabial folds at an early age can lead to irreversible changes in the tissue, which is fraught with permanent swelling, disruption of the homogeneity and density of the epidermis after several years if they are abused.
What are fillers
Filler is an injectable filler that is injected subcutaneously into the area of wrinkles or to increase tissue volume (cheekbones, lips, etc.). Fillers are either synthetic or biocompatible. The main component of most of the most commonly used fillers is stabilized hyaluronic acid (animal or non-animal origin).
The result is the elimination of wrinkles and increased skin elasticity.
Many drugs contain an anesthetic, so their use does not cause pain, but discomfort may occur.
Correction is indicated from 30-35 years of age, when the skin condition is not yet aggravated by hormonal changes, but skin care cream and face masks no longer help. It is during this age period that the maximum rejuvenation effect can be achieved with the help of fillers.
After 50 years, such a procedure does not work as well as we would like; resorting to injections loses its effectiveness due to menopause. After 60 years, it is better to choose surgical techniques.
Efficiency of use
When the gel is introduced, the subcutaneous layer is filled with the required amount of filler, as a result of which the wrinkle is smoothed out, volume is restored, tissue is strengthened and the skin becomes more elastic. In addition, modern fillers for nasolabial folds do not just create a visual rejuvenating effect. They improve cell synthesis and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are an important part of the young dermis.
Attention! This effect is short-term, and to maintain it, you will need to repeat the procedure after some time - 0.5–2 years.
Method 11: Radiesse contouring
Radiesse is a new generation injectable drug. This dermal filler provides a powerful non-surgical lifting of the facial skin. The drug is based on an innovative compound of calcium hydroxyapatite, which stimulates the long-term synthesis of natural collagen, which ensures the longest possible rejuvenation effect. Radiesse lifting works only in problem areas, replenishing the lack of tissue in them. The result of the effect is nasolabial folds, the skin becomes elastic again, the aesthetic appearance and youth return.

Types of drugs
The following types of gels are used to correct nasolabial folds:
- synthetic (permanent) - on a silicone, acrylic or trisodium phosphate basis, which are constantly located under the skin and can only be removed through surgery;
- biodegradable - dissolve over time and have a healing effect.
There are also biosynthetic fillers that contain polymeric and/or biodegradable ingredients.
Synthetic gels
They are made from polymers, so they are durable and inexpensive. But they have disadvantages: over time, they can migrate to other places, cause inflammation and other complications. In some European countries, permanent fillers are banned.
Biosynthetic agents
Created on the basis of chemical modification of components with the inclusion of biological substances. Such gels give long-term results and trigger natural rejuvenation processes.
Synthetic particles create a kind of matrix for the appearance of new collagen fibers.
Rarely used, as they cause side effects more often than biodegradable fillers. Popular drugs include: Artekoll, Elance, Artefill.
Biodegradable drugs
Such fillers are viscous gels with different densities - the deeper the wrinkle, the denser the filler should be and the longer it remains in the tissues.
Their peculiarity is the ability to be completely eliminated from the body, as well as their similarity to the natural components of the human body. They belong to the latest generation of fillers and come on different bases.
With hyaluronic acid
The most popular drugs. It is based on hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in skin tissue. Its function is to accumulate moisture and regenerate cells, resulting in the production of collagen and elastin. Since the amount of this substance decreases with age, the introduction of hyaluron-based fillers allows you to replenish the necessary reserves and start suspended subcutaneous processes. That is why injections of hyaluronic acid into the nasolabial folds not only create volume, but also rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level.
Note! Another advantage of preparations based on hyaluronic acid is the ability to quickly neutralize the substance if necessary.
Such fillers are divided into monophasic (single-phase) and biphasic (two-phase) gels.
- Monophasic. The hyaluron molecules in them are the same size. The preparations are characterized by high plasticity. Easy to administer and distribute well under the skin. Dissolve evenly.
- Biphasic. The composition contains hyaluronic acid molecules of different sizes, as a result of which the gel becomes denser. They are more difficult to administer than monophasic fillers. They are used for the correction of deep wrinkles and lifting, and differ in the duration of the effect.
With calcium hydroxyapatite
The product is based on a substance that is close to the natural mineral contained in bone tissue. Corals of the genus Porites were previously used to create fillers with calcium hydroxyapatite. In modern cosmetology, the substance is extracted synthetically, therefore this type of filler is classified as both biodegradable and biosynthetic. The effect of such gels lasts about 2 and sometimes 3 years, after which the drug is completely eliminated from the body.
When using fillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite, the risk of allergies is minimal. Immediately after administration, the action of cells that devour foreign bodies in the body (macrophages) begins. They absorb the primary composition of the filler, leaving microspheres of the substance and thus stimulating the synthesis of collagen in the subcutaneous layers. At the same time, a temporary durable implant is formed, which dissolves over time. The most famous drug based on calcium hydroxyapatite is Radiesse.
Possible complications and consequences of injection of fillers into the nasolabial area
Artificial fillers can have side effects and complications for patients. Silicone and plastic have the most negative reputation. After their administration, swelling, inflammation, redness, and infiltration may be observed. The drug can shift and wander under the skin, distorting facial features. Filler rejection is resolved by surgical excision and complete elimination of the substance. Modern drugs have a low likelihood of rejection; slight irritation and swelling are observed only at the puncture sites. The local reaction goes away on its own, without requiring any additional treatment.

Advantages of correction of the nasolabial triangle with fillers
Filler in nasolabial folds contains components that are resorbed by tissues, so after a certain period of time it is recommended to repeat the procedure. Contour plastic surgery with the use of these drugs is characterized by a number of advantages compared to surgery and the use of cosmetics.
- High efficiency. The gel fills the intercellular space, stimulates collagen production, slows down age-related changes, improves the condition and appearance of the skin.
- Instant effect. Immediately after the procedure, the facial contour is tightened, skin turgor is smoothed, the firmness and elasticity of the skin is restored, folds and deep wrinkles become less noticeable.
- Long lasting results. For six months, the skin looks perfect. Then you can make corrections using less material. Experts recommend injecting fillers once a year to maintain the effect.
- Short rehabilitation period. The maximum result is achieved two days after administration of the drug. The skin looks flawless, redness and swelling disappear.
- Minimum list of contraindications. High-quality fillers do not contain harmful components. Their basis is hyaluronic acid, a substance produced by body tissues.
- Reduced risk of side effects. If the procedure is performed professionally, negative reactions do not appear.
Fillers that are used to fill nasolabial folds are divided into several categories. The most popular preparations that are successfully used in prestigious salons are gels containing stabilized hyaluronic acid. With their help, you can not only smooth out nasolabial folds, but also eliminate other signs of aging. Recently, products based on other substances have appeared on the market. More affordable fillers containing artificial collagen often cause allergic reactions. A specialist will help you choose the most suitable filler after studying the characteristics of the skin.
The most popular drugs include Juvederm Ultra 3 and 4. The fillers contain not only hyaluronic acid, but also lidocaine, which makes the procedure less painful. Swiss Restylane Perlane is effective and absolutely safe, which was confirmed during a multi-level FDA inspection. The drug can be used to fill deep creases and folds. Princess Filler and Volume fillers produced in Austria provide a natural, long-lasting result; the development of complications occurs in rare cases.
Preparation for the procedure
Before injecting fillers in an effort to remove nasolabial folds, you will need some simple preparation:
- 2 weeks before plastic surgery, you need to avoid peeling, polishing and other cosmetic procedures that irritate the skin;
- a certain group of people are recommended to take vitamins or antiviral drugs, Acyclovir;
- 2-3 days before the session you should not take blood thinning medications;
- For 1–2 days you should refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages, excessive amounts of liquid, spicy and salty foods.
Administration technique
Before placing fillers in the nasolabial area, the doctor must make sure that the patient has no contraindications, find out how sensitive the skin is, and whether the patient will feel pain during the injection of the gel. Depending on how high the pain threshold is, the decision about anesthesia is made. Since painkillers can cause hyperemia, redness or an allergic reaction, the cosmetologist advises avoiding the anesthetic. But if the patient is hypersensitive to injections, lidocaine-based drugs are used. Emla cream is most often used for pain relief.
Next, the patient signs an agreement for the injection of filler, after which he is shown the drug. It must be hermetically sealed and opened before starting the procedure. The cosmetologist must pay attention to the expiration date of the gel and its name. All this data is recorded in a memory card, one copy of which is given to the patient. Information from the card may be needed for subsequent cosmetic procedures.
The procedure itself lasts about 20 minutes. With anesthesia, the time increases by half an hour.
How does the procedure work?
The technique of introducing filler into the nasolabial folds includes the following steps:
- The skin is cleansed of makeup and impurities.
- At the patient's request, an anesthetic is applied to the face. Then you need to wait until the anesthetic begins to act.
- Next, the correction area is treated with an antiseptic.
- Afterwards, injections of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite or other drugs are given into the nasolabial folds. During the procedure, the dermatocosmetologist performs light kneading for better distribution of the filler. In total, up to 10 punctures are made, or 2 each using a fan technique - when the needle enters under the skin, and there the cosmetologist directs it to the desired areas. During the session there may be minor pain and a feeling of fullness. The amount of gel that is recommended to be administered in one session is about 1 ml. If more drug needs to be administered, additional correction is carried out after 2 weeks.
- At the end of the session, the skin is wiped with an antiseptic and a mask with a cooling effect is applied to the face.
Rehabilitation period
Immediately after injection of the filler, slight skin tightness, soreness, and hyperemia may be observed. Bruising, bruising, and swelling may also occur. All this goes away in a few days. To speed up the recovery process, as well as ensure proper distribution of the gel, you need to follow certain rules.
Recommendations after the procedure
After injection of fillers into the nasolabial folds, there are some restrictions on the rehabilitation time. Need to:
- refuse decorative cosmetics for a day and touch the injection area with your hands until the wounds are completely healed;
- do not visit saunas, baths, solariums for two weeks;
- refrain from playing sports for the same period;
- during the first week, it is better not to eat salty and spicy foods, and also not to drink a lot of water at night;
- avoid positioning your face in the pillow while sleeping for 2–3 weeks;
- to prevent the formation of lumps, perform self-massage in the nasolabial area once a week;
- refuse chemical or warming peeling for two weeks;
- within 3-4 days, give up excessive facial expressions - don’t smile widely, don’t yawn, etc.
Also, after the filler has been injected into the nasolabial folds, you should not drink alcohol until the gel has completely formed.
Important points
To speed up the healing process, it is recommended:
- treat puncture sites with an antiseptic - Chlorhexidine solution;
- apply wound healing agents to the skin - Bepanten and others;
- If bruises appear, apply Bodyaga, Traumeel S, Sinyakoff ointment, etc.
Important! You cannot self-medicate after facial correction with fillers. All actions must be coordinated with a doctor.
In most cases, rehabilitation proceeds easily, without consequences. All signs of injections disappear within a week. The result is noticeable immediately after the procedure, but the fillers finally appear within 14 days. How long the gel stays in the nasolabial folds depends on the drug and the patient’s metabolism. The average time it takes for the filler to work is 0.5–2 years.
Where do they make it and how much does it cost?
Administration of injections with fillers requires compliance with sanitary standards and knowledge in the area of the location of blood vessels, nerve endings, tissue structure, etc. You should not perform contouring at home or use dubious gels. After all, this can cause serious consequences that are difficult to correct.
That is why the procedure must be carried out in clinics with a license to carry out such cosmetic interventions, and the doctor must be sufficiently qualified and understand not only the anatomy, but also the peculiarities of the action of the chosen drug.
How much contour plastic surgery of nasolabial folds costs depends on the prestige of the institution, the brand of filler and the experience of the doctor. On average, the price for correcting creases varies from 13,000 to 25,000 rubles.
Why do nasolabial folds form?
Let's say right away that you should not confuse a nasolabial fold with a skin crease - these are two similar, but different in genesis problems.
Nasolabial fold
Nasolabial folds, in fact, have been with us since childhood - they simply appear only during facial activity (for example, smiling).
The only reason for the formation of a nasolabial fold is the overhang of the nasolabial fat packet diagonally from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth during facial activity - both in childhood and in adulthood.
If all the fat packets are in place , then in a calm state the folds are not visible. But with age, the nasolabial fat packet “slides” down, and it is this that forms the fold itself.
If nasolabial problems appear from a young age, the reason is still the same - hypertrophied volume of the nasolabial packet.
The main reason for the formation of nasolabial folds is overhanging fat bags, no matter what they tell you on the Internet! Not skin, not muscle, but a fat packet.
The problem can be aggravated by the anatomical structure (deep-set oral region), the activity of the zygomatic minor and major muscles (they are responsible for the smile), but the contribution of these factors to the formation of the fold itself is insignificant.
Nasolabial skin fold
But the crease on the skin is formed due to the active work of the zygomatic muscles!
Every time we smile, scream, and other emotions, we form a nasolabial fold. Constantly wrinkled skin in this area - like paper - can become wrinkled over time: a skin crease.
Young skin is elastic and elastic, which means it easily recovers from wrinkles, but after 30 years, the production of elastin and collagen slows down and skin turgor decreases. It is after 30 years that a skin fold usually begins to form in the area of the nasolabial fold .
A number of anatomical reasons - a narrow long face, a deep-set oral area - contribute to the appearance of a crease, often without the appearance of the nasolabial fold itself.
After 35-40 years, a combination of the fold itself (with an overhanging fat packet) and a skin crease is often observed.
Precautionary measures
To avoid unwanted side effects, you should tell your doctor about your health problems and any medications you are taking at the time of plastic surgery.
Contraindications
Fillers cannot be applied to nasolabial folds if:
- pregnancy;
- lactation;
- inflammation in the area of gel injection;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- allergies to drug components;
- bacterial, viral, fungal infections;
- diabetes mellitus;
- oncological diseases;
- blood diseases;
- rehabilitation period after grinding or peeling (2 weeks);
- autoimmune diseases;
- menses;
- the presence of permanent implants in correction areas.
Side effects
Immediately after injection of filler into the nasolabial folds, the following consequences may be observed:
- slight redness in the areas where the injection was given;
- swelling;
- soreness.
After a few hours you may see:
- edema;
- bruises;
- bruises.
Such phenomena are considered a normal consequence of contouring and disappear within a few days.
There are also more serious complications, if they occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Alarm signals:
- the appearance of herpes;
- allergic reaction;
- seals have formed at the filler injection site;
- embolism - appears as a result of blockage of blood vessels, manifests itself in the form of pain, cyanosis;
- inflammation - occurs as a result of violation of sanitary rules during and after the procedure, manifested in the form of burning, redness, puffiness and pain;
- necrosis - accompanied by numbness, pallor, cyanosis;
- granulomas - noticeable in the form of lumps, swellings, often whitish in color;
- asymmetry.
Serious health problems after the injection of fillers most often arise due to the inexperience of the doctor.
How long does the effect last?
The natural composition of the filler makes it safe and effective. Over time, the biodegradable components of the drug are completely resorbed in the layers of the skin. This process takes about a year or two, sometimes a little more. After six months, it is recommended to carry out a correction procedure; the injection can be repeated after a year.
Before and after
Other correction methods
Is it possible to remove creases in the nasolabial area using other methods? Yes, but such methods also have their own characteristics.
- Hardware procedures. Hardware cosmetology effectively fights shallow wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. It is carried out in a course of 5–6 procedures. Does not eliminate deep creases.
- Dysport and Botox injections. The technique involves introducing a toxin that blocks brain signals entering the desired muscle area, as a result of which they relax and fine wrinkles are smoothed out. The procedure is effective for eliminating shallow creases that are visible during facial expressions and invisible in a relaxed state.
- Mesothreads. During correction, special threads are introduced into the subcutaneous layers to form a strong frame. As a result of such manipulations, the muscles are tightened - a lifting effect is created. Often this procedure is supplemented with fillers to add volume to the nasolabial area.
- Mesotherapy. Like fillers, mesotherapy is injected and has a rejuvenating effect. The fillers are ready-made cocktails or those prepared by a cosmetologist. The technique is used to eliminate shallow wrinkles and prevent dermal aging.
- Plasmolifting. During the procedure, plasmafillers are used - drugs that are created from the patient’s own blood, and therefore do not cause side effects or rejection. The technique is aimed at launching the natural processes of skin rejuvenation. The effect of such fillers lasts from 3 weeks to 2 months.
- Lipofilling. A similar procedure, but the filler is the patient’s adipose tissue. The drug is not completely eliminated from the body. Filler migration, asymmetry after correction, and even infection are possible.
What determines the choice of filler?
Selecting a filler is a matter for a specialist; he must examine the correction area and assess the problem. Different drugs have different densities and viscosities, so they are aimed at solving different problems.
Restylane injections (Sweden) are considered more gentle and safe. Juvederm products (France) are intended for powerful anti-aging therapy, they are aimed at achieving the most pronounced results. Decent filler options can be selected from the line of products under the brands - Teosyal (Switzerland), Surgiderm (France), Princess (Austria).
Advantages and disadvantages
Filler injection is a procedure that has its advantages:
- skin rejuvenation occurs at the cellular level;
- general anesthesia is not required, and the session itself does not take much time;
- facial expressions are completely preserved, and rehabilitation is short and does not cause much discomfort.
What could be the disadvantages:
- short-term effect;
- price of the procedure;
- Serious complications are likely if the administration technique is violated.
Synthetic filler has more disadvantages:
- toxic;
- more often causes allergies;
- provokes complications after some time, and can only be removed surgically.
Opinion of cosmetologists
Cosmetologists talk about the unpleasant consequences after contouring in this review. They say that most often side effects need to be corrected after the introduction of synthetic fillers, and that the methods of neutralizing the gel are always different.
During further discussion of the issue, the patient shares a complication after filler in the nasolabial area - signs of encapsulation and the development of perifocal focal fibrosis
To which the cosmetologist answers her that the solution to the problem can be the introduction of an enzyme, and after 2-3 weeks - Diprospan.
Cosmetologists discuss complications after contouring in more detail here
A cosmetologist warns patients with diabetes about the risk of contouring when discussing this issue. He says that the blame for the consequences falls on the doctor.
Patient reviews
A patient from this review shares details of contouring with the use of Surgiderm filler. She says that initially she wanted to correct her lips, but the dermatocosmetologist dissuaded her, saying that there was nothing wrong with her lips. But the nasolabial lips need to be corrected.
Next, she reveals the details of the entire procedure, paying attention to why Surgiderm 24XP was chosen, that the drug itself was opened in her presence, and all the data about it was entered into a special card.
The patient talks about what the consequences were immediately after plastic surgery in this review. He says that there was pain, there were small lumps that resolved within two weeks.
And here the patient shares her experience of introducing fillers without anesthesia. He says that it was painful, but tolerable. And he also describes in detail what the doctor’s recommendations were for facial care after the procedure.
And this patient was very pleased with the effect and regrets that she did not have contour plastic surgery of the nasolabial folds earlier
And, of course, there are cases when the result is not satisfactory for patients. As, for example, in this review, where the girl was injected with filler, but the effect of the procedure disappeared quickly - within 2 months. He believes that such injections are a waste of money and is against contouring.
Whether it is worth doing contour plastic surgery of the nasolabial lips, everyone has a different opinion. But in most cases, there is a positive effect from the procedure and an easy rehabilitation period. The main thing is to choose the right drug and follow all recommendations for facial care after injections. Only an experienced cosmetologist can help with this, who will select the ideal filler in each specific case and do everything in such a way as to avoid unnecessary complications.
Elimination of complications
Severe swelling and allergic reactions caused by injectable fillers can be treated with oral corticosteroids or antihistamines.
Bubbles and bumps caused by contour fillers should resolve on their own. If this does not happen, the injectable fillers are removed by cutting and draining the tissue. Permanent compounds can be removed using local corticosteroid injections, surgical incisions, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing. Blisters on the upper lip are eliminated with massage, incision and drainage, local hormone injections, or surgery.
As a rule, pain and discoloration of the injection site are the result of blockage of blood vessels. In such cases, you should immediately apply a warm compress, massage and apply nitroglycerin paste. If hyaluronic filler was used, hyaluronidase is injected to destroy it and relieve tension in the tissues.
