The nasolabial line or nasolabial groove is the name given to the groove that starts from the side of the nose wings and extends to the corners of the mouth. This groove is also found in babies. However, this nasolabial groove, which becomes more prominent with the advancement of age, is the place where most filling is applied. Prominent nasolabial lines can make you look unhappy, tired or older. For nasolabial filling procedures, hyaluronic acid-containing fillings are preferred and the grooves are filled. Hyaluronic acid, which is used for nasolabial filling procedure, is an effective substance by not melting your tissue, but by attracting water to itself. Hyaluronic acid is one of the building blocks of our body under normal conditions and is especially found in the joints, skin and veins. However, some people may have less hyaluronic acid.
