What are Nasolabial Folds ?
Nasolabial folds, commonly referred to as smile lines, are the natural creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines are a normal part of facial anatomy but may become more noticeable over time due to changes in collagen, skin elasticity, and mid-face volume.
As structural support in the skin gradually decreases, nasolabial folds can appear deeper or more defined, particularly with facial movement. In many cases, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, including formulations from Juvéderm, may be used to help soften the appearance of these lines and support smoother facial contours.

Nasolabial Fold Filler Before and After
Nasolabial Folds VS. Marionette Lines
Smile lines can refer to both nasolabial folds and marionette lines, but each area presents differently and may require a slightly different treatment approach. Understanding the distinction between the two helps guide more precise and balanced results.
Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds are typically influenced by changes in mid-face volume and skin support. As volume in the cheeks gradually decreases, the skin may shift downward, making these folds more prominent over time. Juvéderm dermal fillers may be used to soften the appearance of nasolabial folds, with a focus on maintaining natural movement and expression.
Marionette Lines
Marionette lines develop below the corners of the mouth and extend toward the chin, often becoming more noticeable with age or volume loss in the lower face. These lines can create shadowing or contribute to jowls. Juvéderm can support volume and improve the transition between the lower lip and chin. In some cases, a combination approach may be recommended to address both marionette lines and surrounding areas for a more balanced result.
