Fillers – Patient 131

A woman in her early 60’s who has had significant weight loss after a gastric bypass is bothered by her deep set nasolabial creases.  She is deeper on her left side.  She received 2 syringes of Restylane Defyne and returned 2 weeks later for 2 more syringes.  She is shown 2 weeks after the second treatment.
