Direct answer
You need to distinguish between the indentation of the nasolabial fold itself and the sagging of the upper cheeks. Filling the lines excessively does not always lead to natural results.
Before your consultation
- Why don't the nasolabial folds appear the same depth?
- Do you only fill the lines even if the cheeks have sagged?
- If you use more, does it stay natural longer?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Why don't the nasolabial folds appear the same depth?
First, check if the lines change between a neutral expression and a smile. Skin folds, cheek position, and facial structure can all influence this together. Dermal filler is a medical procedure, so you should be informed about the aesthetic goal of facial lines as well as the vascular risks.

Do you only fill the lines even if the cheeks have sagged?
Shadows caused by sagging of the upper tissues may require a different plan than simply filling the groove. Explain whether the change you want is in the depth of the line or the position of the cheek. Even if you are recommended skin tightening together, it is better to receive an explanation separating the objectives of each procedure.
If you use more, does it stay natural longer?
The fact that the volume is large does not guarantee naturalness or longevity. You should also consider the fullness when smiling and the forward projection of the face. Instead of fixing the final volume from the start, consult about the movement to leave and the criteria to avoid overcorrection.
What should I do if there is existing dermal filler?
Please provide the product name, procedure date, and number of repetitions. If you do not know the type of remaining substance, it is necessary to go through a confirmation process before deciding on a new injection immediately. If you have previous photos, they can help distinguish the original nasolabial folds from the currently full areas.
Which types of pain should be reported immediately?
If you experience severe pain during or after the procedure, your skin turns pale or blotchy, or your vision changes, notify the medical staff immediately. It is important not to assume it is just normal swelling. In particular, vision changes are symptoms that require urgent evaluation.
What questions should be asked during a consultation for nasolabial folds at Daegu Dongseong-ro?
In a Dongseong-ro dermal filler consultation, first ask, “Is the cause of my nasolabial folds indentation or sagging?” Refer to Doctor Designer Daegu's official dermal filler guide and current treatment list, but confirm the applicable treatment area, product, and target dose during the actual consultation.
