Severity of Nasolabial Filler

Severity is assessed based on the degree of nasolabial fold prominence, which can vary among individuals.

The clinical dosage is determined by the degree/severity of nasolabial folds, degree of cheek descend, and degree of bone loss around the nasolabial fold.

Nasolabial Folds, Cheeks, and possible blending into upper cutaneous lip (area between nose and upper red lip border).

Cannulation technique using a blunt dermal-filling cannula is the most commonly employed injecting technique in this region to improve safety, increase smoothness of the treatment zone, and to reduce downtime.

Product selection is a clinical decision based on various factors. Only premium and Australian government approved products from authorised and genuine suppliers are used.

Nasolabial Filler Procedure

The procedure includes detailed consultation, antiseptic wash +/- topical anaesthesia, disinfection of the face, monitoring of tolerance and progress throughout the procedure, and application of disinfectant and pressure/massage as needed.

Swelling is possible and common for the first 48 hours. Any swelling and bruises can usually be covered with makeup easily.

About Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from each side of the nose toward the corners of the mouth. Some people also notice adjacent creases that sit parallel to the main fold. Many adults visit our Brisbane clinic concerned that these lines make the face look tired or older.

Why they appear (often a mix of factors):

Midface support & volume change: With time, changes in cheek/midface structure can make the fold look deeper.
Expression (“smile lines”): Repeated movement from smiling or laughing can accentuate creasing in this area.
Skin quality: Sun exposure, genetics and elasticity changes may make lines more noticeable.

A doctor-led consultation assesses the midface (cheeks), perioral area and overall facial balance at rest and in motion. If suitable, our Doctor can discuss personalised, non-surgical options and skin-care strategies to address your concerns, along with benefits, risks, alternatives and maintenance.

Important: Some options discussed in consultation may involve a prescription-only medicine. We do not advertise prescription-only medicines to the public. Any such option can only be discussed and, if appropriate, provided after a consultation with a registered medical practitioner. Individual results vary; no outcome is guaranteed.

WHY NASOLABIAL TREATMENT?

Nasolabial folds give the face tired and sagging appearance.

With judicious placement of volume & contour treatments, we may be able to:

1. Youth one’s appearance
2. Assist with obvious asymmetry
3. Act as a supplementary support (e.g. bone) to project or create facial harmony
4. Repair skin wrinkling from repetitive movements

Our Approach & Design — Nasolabial Folds

Assessment & proportion

The plan is doctor-led and tailored to the severity and pattern of your folds, skin quality and overall facial balance. The amount of work in this region varies by individual, and we may recommend addressing adjacent areas to maintain natural proportions.

Support & shape

Nasolabial folds often relate to midface support. For suitable adults, improving cheek/midface balance may help reduce the appearance of the fold by easing the downward vector from descending fat pads. Treating the fold and contributing areas together can create a more cohesive, natural-looking result. Staging and maintenance are discussed at consultation.

Comprehensive planning

Ageing can involve volume redistribution and bony/soft-tissue change, especially from the cheeks, which can make folds appear deeper. Where appropriate, your practitioner may outline facial volume & contour options to soften the look of folds and support age-appropriate harmony. Recommendations are conservative and aligned with your goals and anatomy.

Beyond the fold

Rather than focusing only on the crease, we consider the underlying contributors—for example cheeks, chin/jawline transitions and skin quality. Your plan may integrate evidence-informed skincare and, where suitable, energy-based therapies, alongside non-surgical contour options. All benefits, risks, alternatives and costs are covered during your doctor-led consultation in Brisbane.

Enhancing your profile is a personal choice. At Eleventh Heaven Brisbane, your doctor-led consultation is a one-on-one space to discuss goals, ask questions and review options tailored to your facial anatomy—whether you’re seeking subtle definition, improved symmetry or a more balanced side profile.
