The nasolabial fold is the natural crease running from the base of the nose to the corners of the mouth. With age, reduced bone support in the upper jaw (maxilla) and descent of mid-face tissue can make these folds more visible.
Dr Allison approaches this area holistically, often assessing it alongside the cheeks and lower face to maintain overall facial harmony.
Some non-surgical options may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices. In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, these are not advertised publicly and are only discussed privately during consultation.
Areas Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Depth and Transition of the Fold
A visible fold can interrupt the smooth transition from the cheek to the area around the mouth.
Non-surgical approaches may assist in creating a smoother transition and create a more balanced mid-face contour.
Structural Support and Balance Around the Nose and Mouth
At the base of the nose, the piriform fossa can contribute to fold depth when underlying support diminishes.
Dr Allison considers this area as part of a comprehensive mid-face plan to support facial balance and natural proportions
Potential Benefits of Non-Surgical Mid-Face Rejuvenation
Medically Supervised Care
Non-surgical procedures typically involve minimal downtime and are performed under medical supervision.
Patients can usually resume regular activities soon after treatment.
Individualised Treatment Planning
Dr Allison’s approach focuses on small, measured enhancements designed to maintain facial authenticity and natural expression.
Temporary Procedures with Review Options
Non-surgical treatments are temporary, allowing results to be refined over time as facial structure naturally evolves.
Tailored Approaches Based on Individual Anatomy
Because procedures are tailored to individual anatomy, patients have the freedom to adapt their plans as their goals change.
