How many cc of filler are needed for nasolabial folds?

Here are some figures based on the doctor's own patient statistics over the past 10 years of filler injections:

The amount used depends on age and the type of filler that is appropriate.

Amount of filler to use according to age:

- Ages 20-30: 0.5-1 cc per side.
- Ages 30-40: 1-1.5 cc per side.
- Ages 40-50: 1.5-2 cc per side.
- Ages 50 and above: 2-3 cc per side.

The amount depends on skin condition and individual needs. Many people may wonder how young people can have nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds are not just a problem for older people. Genetics can play a role. Facial structure at birth can cause the skin to sag quickly, and surprisingly, rapid weight loss can also lead to deep facial wrinkles.

Choosing between different types of filler:

- For shallow nasolabial folds (in younger individuals): A lightweight filler such as low-concentration HA (Hyaluronic Acid) should be chosen for a more natural look.
- For moderately deep nasolabial folds: Use a medium-density filler, such as a medium-concentration HA (Hyaluronic Acid), for better filling.
- For very deep nasolabial folds (older age): A thicker filler such as high-concentration HA or Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) should be used for longer-lasting results and greater filling.
