Nasolabial filler is one of the medical aesthetic procedures performed to reduce the appearance of nasolabial lines extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth and to help the face appear more balanced. Aging, decreased skin elasticity, and loss of facial volume can cause these lines to become more prominent over time.
Nasolabial filler is the application of filler materials, usually hyaluronic acid-based, to the area where the prominent lines around the nose and mouth are located. Rather than aiming to eliminate the lines completely, the procedure aims to provide support in a way that suits the facial anatomy and achieve a softer, more natural appearance.
Nasolabial filler may help the lines between the side of the nose and the corner of the mouth appear less prominent. By supporting the balance of volume loss in the face, it may provide a more vibrant and rested appearance. When planned appropriately, it may contribute to supporting overall facial proportions while preserving the natural appearance of facial expression.
Before the procedure, facial structure, skin characteristics, and the degree of prominence of the nasolabial lines are evaluated. Then, the appropriate filler product and application amount are determined and the procedure is carried out. The application time may vary depending on the person and the scope of the treatment.
After the procedure, short-term swelling, sensitivity, or bruising may occur. For nasolabial filler to deliver natural and balanced results, it is important that the procedure be planned by an experienced physician in line with the person's facial anatomy.
