When you look in the mirror, do you notice those deep shadows that give you a tired or unhappy expression even when your face is rested? These deep grooves, which descend from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth and are medically called the “Nasolabial Sulcus,” are commonly known as “smile lines,” yet they cause a sullen expression on our face even when we are not smiling. These lines, the most prominent sign of the aging process, are formed as a result of the melting of fat tissue in the midface and its downward shift due to gravity.
Dr. Andan Clinic illuminates these deep shadows with Nasolabial Filler applications, providing your face with a younger, softer, and more positive expression. Nasolabial filler is not just a line-filling process; it is the art of restoring the light-shadow balance in the midline of the face. When performed with the correct technique, that “heavy” look on the face disappears, replaced by fresher skin with a lifting effect.
The formation of these lines usually begins in the 30s and deepens over time. The main reasons are:
Volume Loss: The melting of fat pads on the cheekbones and their accumulation near the nose as they sag downward.
Bone Resorption: Structural shrinking in the upper jawbone (maxilla) causes the skin to lose its support.
Expression Movements: The repetition of smiling and speaking expressions over the years folds the skin (Dynamic lines).
Dr. Andan Clinic physicians analyze the source of the problem. If the issue stems from cheek sagging, the nasolabial area is first relieved by performing a lifting effect with Cheek Filler, followed by filling the remaining fine lines. This holistic approach provides the most natural result.
The biggest aesthetic risk regarding nasolabial filler is the overfilling and bloating of the area. This leads to the mouth area appearing protruded (Monkey Mouth) and disrupts smile aesthetics. In the modern technique applied at Dr. Andan Clinic:
The filler is not applied superficially but to a deeper plane (under the dermis).
Excessive volume is avoided; the goal is not to completely erase the groove but to soften its shadow. This is because the total disappearance of this line is not natural (it exists slightly even in babies).
The hyaluronic acid fillers used have a flexible structure that adapts to facial movements.
The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes in clinical conditions. The sensation of pain is minimal thanks to anesthetic creams. The filler is injected along the groove line using cannulas or fine needles. The result is visible immediately; the deep shadow is lifted, and the face brightens.
Since the nasolabial region is an active area due to speaking and chewing, the permanence of the filler is on average 12–18 months. Smoking and a fast metabolism can shorten this period.
Did you know that the harsh and unhappy expression on your face is not your destiny? It is possible to erase the fatigue brought by years with a small touch. Dr. Andan Clinic is by your side to bring you to your most positive state without compromising on naturalness.
No. When done on the right layer and in the right amount, it does not affect your smile or freeze your facial expressions. It only removes the shadow of the deep hollow in that area. Smile distortion is seen in excessive and incorrect applications.
There may be slight swelling and redness, which will subside within 1-2 days. Rarely, small bruises may occur, but these can be covered with makeup. You can resume your social life immediately.
Nasal filler alone does not lift the face; it only fills in existing hollows. If you have sagging skin, combining it with cheek filler provides a more effective lifting and rejuvenation effect.
When high-quality, homogeneous fillings are used, the risk of clumping is very low. Any hardness you feel inside with your tongue in the first few days is normal and will soften over time. There will be no visible clumping on the outside.
There is no specific age limit. It is recommended to do it when the lines begin to settle (become static). If the lines become very deep and turn into “wrinkles” (scars), it may be difficult to completely smooth them out with fillers. Early intervention yields better results.
