What should I do if one nasolabial fold is deeper than the other?
Disease description:
Although I’m still young, nasolabial folds have appeared prematurely—and worse, one side is deeper than the other, creating noticeable asymmetry. I’d like to ask: What can be done about a deeper nasolabial fold on one side?

Hello, nasolabial folds—commonly referred to as “smile lines”—are wrinkles that develop on either side of the mouth. They primarily result from aging and exaggerated facial expressions, making individuals appear older and affecting overall facial aesthetics. If only one side exhibits significantly deeper nasolabial folds, treatment options such as a facelift or botulinum toxin (Botox) injections may be considered to reduce their appearance; noticeable improvement is typically observed shortly after the procedure. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and fulfilling life!
