Nose-to-Mouth Lines (Nasolabial Folds) Treatment
Nasolabial folds deepen when the cheeks flatten and descend with age. Treating the fold alone rarely gives a natural result — at our Clifton, Bristol clinic, we look at the whole face.
What We Can Do
Dermal filler placed directly into the fold can help, but the best results combine fold treatment with mid-face volumising, lifting the cheeks to reduce the fold at source. This is the approach we recommend for most patients wanting a non-surgical solution.
Fat transfer is an alternative to hyaluronic acid filler for patients seeking a more lasting result.
An endoscopic mid-facelift is the surgical option for patients where tissue repositioning is required. This is a very powerful technique giving very natural outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions — Nasolabial Folds
-
Will filler in my nasolabial folds look natural?
When placed correctly, yes. The key is addressing the cheek volume loss that drives the fold, not just filling the fold itself. We take a whole-face approach to achieve a natural, balanced result.
-
How long does filler last in nasolabial folds?
Typically 9–15 months depending on the product, area and individual metabolism. Collagen stimulators such as Sculptra can provide results lasting up to 18–24 months.
