Nasolabial filling procedure is one of the most important aesthetic filling applications applied for rejuvenation purposes. Nasolabial filling; It is an aesthetic operation applied to deep lines starting from the wings of the nose and reaching around the mouth. Deep lines or wrinkles in this area make the person look older than he is. Factors such as aging, genetic factors, and intense use of facial expressions can increase the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Those who want to have a younger and more vibrant smile can achieve the aesthetic appearance they want in a short time, and most importantly, without surgery, thanks to nasolabial filling application.
What is Nasolabial Filler?
Nasolabial filling is a filling procedure applied to the deep lines around the nose and extending downwards towards the sides of the lips. These lines, which become more visible when smiling and are located in the middle of the face, can be misleading about a person’s age. These lines, which may be prominent from birth or deepen over time, cause discomfort to many people because they make people look older than they are. It also makes the expression look unhappy and tired. Nasolabial filling is recommended to our patients who apply to our clinic with these complaints, and the skin is renewed and made to look tighter.
What is the Content of Nasolabial Filler?
Nasolabial filler is one of the fillers containing hyaluronic. Since hyaluronic substance is a substance found in the skin’s own tissue, it is very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. The substance injected into the skin stops the sagging of the skin and prevents fat loss, which causes deep lines to form. It gives the skin a youthful appearance by renewing and tightening the nasolabial area.
When Should Nasolabial Filling Be Performed?
There is no specific age or gender limitation for the application of nasolabial filling. The procedure can generally be applied to any individual who is over 18 years of age and whose health condition is suitable. Although it is mostly preferred by women due to aesthetic concerns, it is a practice that men are also interested in. There is no need to wait for the appearance of wrinkles to perform nasolabial filling. Young people who want their skin to look more flexible and healthy can also have nasolabial filling. In some people, the lines next to the nose are naturally deeper. These lines, which cause a sad and tired expression, can be eliminated with nasolabial filling from an early age.
How is Nasolabial Filler Applied?
Nasolabial filling, like other filling applications, is applied with needles. Some people may experience depression in the cheek area due to weakness, incorrect sleeping position and genetic factors. This cheek structure makes the lines in the nasolabial area more prominent. If such a situation occurs, it can be supported with nasolabial filling, lifting or cheekbone filling. The specialist physician first analyzes the patient’s cheek, chin and lip structure. Then, he creates a plan for how many sessions and how many doses the patient needs.
Nasolabial filling application, unlike other filling applications, is completed in more than one session. It is not recommended to apply dense filling gel to the nasolabial area at once. Therefore, to obtain the most natural and healthy result, the application can be done in 6-month sessions. After the first application, the nasolabial area is monitored at intervals and the appropriate amount of hyaluronic acid is re-injected if necessary.
When does the effect of nasolabial filler begin and how long does it last?
It is possible to see the positive effects on the skin immediately after the filling application. However, it may take 2 weeks for the injection effect to wear off, for the filler to fully affect the tissues, and for the nasolabial area to take its final form. Although it varies from person to person, the nasolabial area becomes final and flexible after 2 weeks. The effect of the application lasts between 9 and 18 months. To ensure continuity, the filling process must be reapplied at regular intervals.

Mesotherapy is the technique of applying vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes alone or usually as a mixture to the middle layer of the skin by microinjection.

Bichectomy, one of the aesthetic operations frequently used by those who want to achieve an ideal facial appearance, is performed to make facial lines proportionate. In some cases, even if the person is at the ideal weight, he or she may appear overweight due to the amount of fat in the existing facial structure. The fat tissue located in the middle area of the cheeks is called buccal fat tissue. This fatty tissue, located between the facial muscles, is anatomically located in the lower region of the cheekbones and is thought to contribute to sucking functions in babies. The size of this fatty tissue is one of the main factors affecting the size of the face. With aging, buccal fat tissue generally tends to decrease.
We often use fillers called hyaluronic acid in the face area, especially on the lips. Hyaluronic acid is actually a building block found in our body that has water retention properties. When this substance is depleted in the skin and subcutaneous tissue under the influence of age and environmental factors, it causes some changes that manifest themselves as volume loss. To put it simply, with filler injections, we aim to increase the amount of this water-retaining molecule in our body.
