It's been 15 days since my nasolabial fold filler treatment, but the more I look at it, the more unnatural it appears. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Introduction
In general, if nasolabial fold fillers feel increasingly uncomfortable 15 days after the procedure, it may be due to incomplete resolution of swelling, overfilling or underfilling, inappropriate filler selection, psychological factors, or improper postoperative care. This can usually be improved with alternating warm and cold compresses, additional filler injections, or hyaluronidase injections. If correction is needed, it is recommended to consult a reputable medical facility.

In general, if nasolabial fold fillers feel increasingly uncomfortable 15 days after the procedure, it may be due to incomplete resolution of swelling, overfilling or underfilling, inappropriate material selection, psychological factors, or improper postoperative care. These issues can usually be improved through alternating hot and cold compresses, additional filler injections, or hyaluronidase injections.

Residual swelling at the injection site may make the nasolabial area appear unnatural; in such cases, patience is required for natural resolution, and alternating hot and cold compresses can help improve the appearance. Overfilling can lead to an overly plump look, causing a "muffin-face" effect, while underfilling may result in an uneven or unnatural appearance—these can be corrected with hyaluronidase injections or supplementary filler. Unnatural facial contours caused by unsuitable filler materials can be restored via hyaluronidase injections. Psychological discomfort may arise when personal expectations are too high and the actual results fall short; in such cases, it's recommended to communicate fully with your doctor and consider either additional filler or hyaluronidase to achieve a more satisfactory outcome. If improper wound care after the procedure leads to an unnatural appearance, regular follow-up visits are important to monitor healing, and alternating hot and cold compresses can aid recovery.

Which is better for nasolabial folds, dermal fillers or wrinkle removal?
In general, the choice between fillers and wrinkle removal for treating nasolabial folds depends on the cause and severity of the folds. If the nasolabial folds are caused by depression of the nasolabial groove, fillers are usually recommended. However, if they result from excessive facial muscle movement, wrinkle removal may be more appropriate. After either procedure, it is important to avoid excessive pressure or massage on the treated area.
