Nasolabial filling is the process of filling the deep nasolabial folds, starting from the wings of the nose and going down to the corner of the mouth, with filling material. This process is usually performed using filler materials such as hyaluronic acid. Nasolabial folds are deep lines on the face that occur due to aging, genetic factors or environmental factors. This filling process aims to give the face a younger and more vibrant appearance by filling these lines with filling material. Nasolabial filler is also called “fine line filler.”
Nasolabial filling application can generally be applied to healthy adults. People with deepened nasolabial folds or signs of facial aging may prefer this procedure. However, people with any health problems or allergies are recommended to consult a specialist before resorting to the filling procedure.
The nasolabial filling process includes the following steps:
The effects of nasolabial filler begin to be seen immediately, but side effects such as swelling or redness may occur immediately after application. These side effects disappear within a few days. The final effects and results of the filler become fully apparent within a few weeks after application due to the water absorbing ability of hyaluronic acid.
The permanence of nasolabial filling may vary depending on the filling material used, the patient’s metabolism and lifestyle. Generally, the effects last between 9 and 18 months. However, the effect of the filling decreases over time and it may be necessary to fill it again.
