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
With age, the transition from the cheek to the area around the mouth can become more pronounced.
Non-surgical approaches may be discussed in consultation as options for addressing changes in mid-face structure.
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 assessment, taking into account individual facial anatomy and structural characteristics.
What to Expect from Non-Surgical Mid-Face Consultations
Medically Supervised Care
Non-surgical procedures are performed under medical supervision. Recovery experience varies between individuals and is discussed at consultation.
Individualised Treatment Planning
Dr Allison’s approach involves small, measured adjustments based on individual facial anatomy. Treatment is tailored to each patient’s anatomy and medical suitability rather than a standardised outcome.
Temporary Procedures with Review Options
Non-surgical treatments are temporary. This allows treatment plans to be reviewed and adjusted over time in line with individual changes in facial structure.
Tailored Approaches Based on Individual Anatomy
Because procedures are tailored to individual anatomy and medical suitability, treatment plans can be reviewed as circumstances change. Individual responses vary.
