Am I Too Young For Nasolabial Fold Excisions?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like to schedule a consultation in regards to my nasolabial folds, specifically if I would be a good candidate for excision. I am 30 years old. Thank you.

A: I would never consider nasolabial fold excision at your young age, the scar would never be worth it. You have to consider why they are there…significant facial lipoatrophy. (no subcutaneous fat) You consider augmentation and I don’t mean fat injections which will never work in your face.
