Hyaluronic acid fillers soften deep nasolabial folds (smile lines) and restore midface volume — reducing the shadow and depth that can age the face without altering natural expressions.
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.
Dr. Chung softens nasolabial folds with a precise, conservative approach — restoring a rested, natural appearance without looking overfilled.

Treatment can be extended to soften marionette lines at the corners of the mouth for complete rejuvenation.
Mild elevation of downturned mouth corners can be addressed simultaneously for a more positive resting expression.
The goal is a softened, refreshed appearance — not the elimination of the fold, which would look unnatural.
