Will Midface Implants Improve Deep Nasolabial Folds?

Q: Dr. Eppley, is there a way to correct nasolabial folds caused by my deep canine fossa ideally something more permanent and not filler. Thanks for your time, have a nice day.

A:Nasolabial folds are largely created soft tissue ptosis. In the upper part of a nasolabial fold near the nose (and over the canine fossa) bone augmentation by an extended paranasal implant can help soften this part of the fold…but I would not call it a complete correction.
