What is
nasolabial fold treatment?

Nasolabial folds — the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth — deepen with age as midface volume is lost. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected along these lines and/or into the cheeks to restore volume and reduce the depth of the fold.

Dr. Chung often addresses the cheek volume loss that underlies nasolabial deepening, rather than simply filling the fold itself — producing a more natural, lifted result.

The treatment is quick, requires no downtime, and produces immediate visible improvement.

How does the
process work?

Dr. Chung softens nasolabial folds with a precise, conservative approach — restoring a rested, natural appearance without looking overfilled.

01
Facial Analysis
Dr. Chung evaluates the depth of the nasolabial folds, the surrounding cheek volume and the overall facial structure to determine the right amount of correction.
02
Strategic Planning
Often, treating nasolabial folds requires addressing cheek volume loss rather than injecting the fold directly — a more natural and longer-lasting approach.
03
Injection Procedure
Hyaluronic acid is placed precisely — both in the cheek to lift the fold indirectly and directly in the fold if needed — for a softened, natural result.
04
Result & Maintenance
Results are visible immediately. Nasolabial filler typically lasts 9–15 months. Periodic maintenance maintains the result.

What can be
treated?

Nasolabial folds

Softens the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth for a more rested, youthful appearance.

Cheek volume restoration

Addressing midface volume loss lifts the fold from above — a natural approach that avoids overfilling.

Marionette lines

Treatment can be extended to soften marionette lines at the corners of the mouth for complete rejuvenation.

Mouth corners

Mild elevation of downturned mouth corners can be addressed simultaneously for a more positive resting expression.

Natural result

The goal is a softened, refreshed appearance — not the elimination of the fold, which would look unnatural.

Combination treatment

Often combined with cheek filler, lip filler and tear trough treatment for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
