Yes, cheek filler can indirectly improve the appearance of nasolabial folds (smile lines), even though filler isn’t directly injected into those lines. Here’s how it works:
- Restoring Mid-face Volume: By adding volume to the cheekbones, fillers create a subtle lifting effect throughout the mid-face. This reduces sagging and helps smooth out smile lines.
- Structural Support: Cheek fillers provide support to the tissues around the nasolabial folds, minimizing the appearance of the folds.
- Overall Rejuvenation: Improving cheek contour creates a more youthful overall appearance, drawing attention away from lines and wrinkles.
Combined Approach May be Best: While cheek fillers can significantly improve nasolabial folds, for deeper lines, directly treating them with a softer filler might offer even more dramatic results.
