Nasolabial folds, the lines running from the nose to the mouth corners, are among the first aging signs patients want corrected. Filler works well here, but the naive approach of pumping gel directly into the line often looks heavy. Ever Dermatology in Apgujeong explains how modern fold correction is actually planned.
Treat the cause, not only the crease
Deepening folds usually come from two directions: the cheek above losing volume and sliding downward, and the fold area itself losing support. If the midface is deflated, restoring cheek support first lifts part of the fold naturally, and then a smaller amount in the fold finishes the job. Injecting only the crease can create a sausage-like fullness when you smile.
Technique and safety in this area
The nasolabial region contains the facial artery, so this is an area where anatomical knowledge matters. Cannula technique from a side entry point is common, placing gel in safe planes with constant movement. Firmer gels support the deep plane; softer gels blend the surface. Expect the doctor to check your smile dynamics between steps.
What results look like and how long they last
Done well, the fold softens while your smile stays mobile and natural; people notice you look rested rather than worked on. Mild swelling settles within days. Results typically last 9 to 18 months depending on the product and your movement patterns, and follow-up at 2 to 4 weeks allows fine-tuning.
Ever Dermatology assesses the midface as a whole before treating nasolabial folds and consults international patients in Apgujeong. If your folds deepened gradually over recent years, a cause-based plan will look more natural than a line-only fill.
