Nasolabial Folds issue

After losing 125lbs and hitting my goal, most of my body is a little wrinkly but ok. My face is looking a lot like a St Bernard though due to heavy Nasolabial Fold on both sides of my nose.

I found a PS in NY for a Nasolabrial Fold excision but the cost is very high, especially when combined with a neck lift.

Does anyone have any experience with this, and any dr recommendations?

I would try a restalyne filler in your cheeks first.

My folds are a 10 out of 10 which I was well aware of, but I've had that opinion confirmed by several PS's.

I would get some recommendations on fillers first to see if that helps.  What I was told is that a neck lift is basically a lower face lift and would not address the nasolabial folds at all.  You'd need a complete face lift to address neck and the middle of the face (nasolabial folds), which was maybe why your estimate came in high.

I agree!! My nasolabial folds are horrible, too. I know I need a facelift to take care of them. When I win the lottery, it is the next thing I am having done

  I have an amazing PS n NYC...His name is Ryan Neinstein, he is located n Greenwich Village. I discovered hm on Real Self, where he has amazing patient reviews. I have been able to put off having a face lift by using fillers.

Contact Iam_with_the_Band - Dee had hers fixed with her facelift with Dr Sauceda.  You can see her pics:  Face Lift 

Her nasolabial folds were causing issues when she slept on her side, closing her nasal airway.
