Hello Interloper!

Okay, so let’s dig deeper as to why we may need that nose-to-mouth lines filler… As we age we lose volume in our bones, and the fat pads in our face that are both deep and superficial, shrink except 2 of them. You guessed it the nose-to-mouth one is one of them So, what actually happens is that there is more space in your face, and gravity always loves to pull us downwards. The combination of bone loss and fat loss contribute to those folds from nose to mouth but remember that they are natural, even babies have those folds, so our aim here would never be to eradicate but to simply restore.
The ageing superficial fat pads in the cheek area can look rather heavy, so when we are looking at treating this area I will take a number of approaches depending on your facial structure. I won’t just go for the ‘quick fix’, but rather examine the root of the problem. This will involve working on the deep fat pad and bone, increasing volume at the root and working with nose-to-mouth lines filler. If I were to only treat the fold, this would merely be treating the symptom.
It wouldn’t be a natural fix because everyone has these nose-to-mouth lines, and to remove them completely would look unnatural, and frankly, quite odd.
