Hope you got something out of this video. Didn't want it to be too scary, but I think it is good to be honest and open with all the good and bad things that can happen with dermal fillers. Tell us what you think. Would you have nasolabial fold filler?

If only every doctor was as compassionate as you and truly cared about humans well being, the world would be so much safer and less corrupt

This is an incredibly important video for Filler patients to watch. I can't believe injectors aren't using microcannulas.

I love how honest this doctor is 💗

The most honest Doctor I have ever heard. We need more of these teachings. To make an informed decision

Dr. Chan all of your videos are amazing- honest, informative, and very well thought out. This information is helpful for both patients and providers. Thank you for taking the time to make these

I had no idea. Thank you for sharing this information.

WOW, this is CRITICAL INFO bravo Doctor!!! Thank you for the facial mapping!

Was considering this procedure. Have just decided against it. Thank you!

God bless (although I am not religious) doctors like you, who actually raise awareness about the potential danger of certain procedures and educate people. Please, never stop doing this!

I’m a new practitioner from London, want to say big thank you, your videos helps me with my confidence. It’s always good to hear second opinion from someone like you well experienced.

I am a fan and now watch your videos before I do anything

I embrace this area because of You! Smiling My thanks Dr.!

Very informative! Always love watching bc he Is very knowledgeable without rambling👍

Thank you for explaining everything in such great details! ❤️

Your explanations of so many treatments is great...so glad I've watched them....important to be informed. Thank you

Truly great insight thank you, I am researching before I take the plunge your information is so helpful.

Around 10 years ago, I did try this procedure, after a few pricks, we had to stop, I was about to pass out. Since then....I have never walked back into face altering. Now age with Grace. Thanks for your information.

Thanks for this info, as I never knew the potential complication of having this procedure.👍

Thank you for this info. I've done it with my surgeon and i've never been told about complications.

I’m trying to educate myself on procedures! Thanks for this information!

I almost did this treatment 2 days ago!!! Thank you❤️

Thank you very much for your clear and precise comment about shape and contour! That‘s it and so many medical beauty doctors have not a clue. They only see the parts of a face but not the harmony in between the parts.

Really worth watching. It was very informative and you were very honest. Thank you for that.

Absolutely love your way of teaching I like the new way you've gone about it ur humor is the best!! Thanks a million

I wish you were in the USA! I would make an appointment ASAP! Thank you for the information.

Thank you so much, Doc! Your precaution is very much appreciated!!! You are a great doctor!👍💖🤗

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Doctor.

Wow thank you for this video. This procedure has been something I’ve wanted but not with this much risk!

Thank you for these very informative videos! They are very much appreciated!

I have had laugh lines/nasolabial folds since high school and I am now in my 30's.. I never saw them as an issue until society started becoming so plastic obsessed. I still don't see them as a problem but I do not enjoy anyone drawing attention to them as though I should "fix" them.

Thank you so much for your honesty. I now subscribed. 👍 ☺

Thank you dr! For warning people!

i really like this video is straightforward gets to the point and explains everything an injector should know. very useful and informative information.

Wow, thank you for sharing such important information!

Excelente video para explicar los riesgos que existen cuando se realiza un relleno sin tomar los recaudos necesarios. Gracias Dr Chan. Saludos desde Argentina

I use the perpendicular technique also. Your videos are awesome and very insightful!

Thank you for a very informative video! I am saving some money to have some minor work done later this year, and your videos are giving me lots of knowledge that I will use when choosing a practitioner, and also choosing specific procedures to have done. Thank you!

thanks for the info, I will probably never do this now

oh my god... i was thinking of getting this for so long, so happy to come up with your video!! THANKS!

Thank you doctor, I was considering getting nasolabial injections until you pointed out that they are especially dangerous and don't make a huge difference aesthetically. Think I'll spend money on veneers instead. 👍

yes, this is always a big thing for me, but I do appreciate your comments on this. I feel a mini facelift could help and then in time have this parallel injection on the side. Never heard of this danger. Thank you very much. it is a shame you don't have an office in San Francisco. I would make an appointment immediately. Thank's for the information!

this is the most intelligent, skilled, professional and also very nice. bravo and LIKE

Omg I just did this procedure today and I had no idea of any of this. Thank you. Probably won’t ever do it again!!

Omgosh I'm so bummed out this is the only procedure I've been contemplating😞... I do really need this area addressed (in my 50's). I have fine lines right above my lip. I'm fine with the way the rest of my face is ageing... So far😂!! Thank you so much for this information 🙂

I have nasal labial folds that I inherited from my beautiful mum who also had the natural cheekbone structure I lack. At the age of 64 should I dive in and have one more go at being vain, I'd have actual surgery; drooping upper eyelids and a small chin implant and the rest just good skin care -- totally anecdotal, but I commented because we're all so subjective about what actually will enhance our looks. This video was really helpful for this reason. And sometimes a professional will objectively demystify our minor obsessions and pun intended, keep them in focus. Many thanks.

I had mine done last week, never knew any of this. It did go well however. I also made a video about my experience on my channel.

Doc im Sooo torn im extremely insecure about my smile lines. I never had them untill now in my late 30's and it makes me feel old and unattractive. My face isnt full and youthful looking and even in photos they are very noticeable. However im petrified of needles and dont have the best finances. Society judges us based on our appearance and when your used to getting compliments on your appearance then get in your 30's and start 2feel invisible and not worthy in the eyes of society its a tough pill to swallow. Your video is very informative yet scary when i think about the negative consequences. Decisions, decisions 🤔...

Excellent info in your videos, thank you. Totally agree. I once had the naso lines filled at the strong suggestion of my dr, an eye surgeon. Lines were not deep and didn't bother me, but there was left over restylane from doing the under-eye tear troughs and wanted to use it up. So the dr filled the naso area; it had an odd pushing-down effect on my mouth that was not good at all. Beforehand, I had a normal looking mouth area; slight uplift at the corners, short upper lip, a natural pout you coud say. After the naso injections, my mouth went horizontal/straight eg., a letterbox mouth. Ugh! I've seen this look on reality TV celebs. Not a good look and even worse, it lasted for a year!

Thank you so much doctor great information 👌🏼👌🏼

Thank you so much for all this valuable information, great of you.

I had mine done by a derm and I love it !

Hi Dr.Chan. You're videos are highly informative, I don't just learn so much but I actually enjoy them. Would you say anti wrinkle is the better option for some patients who are concerned with the prominence of their nasolabial folds? Please make more videos and I would love to see demonstrations on patients.

Thank you. Very informative.

I'm glad I saw this from you! Wow. I'm actually terrified of needles anyway, but on my face..oh no..couldn't do it. Lol But I wanted to see a video from you about festoons and malar bags and, more importantly, how they can be lessened via massage, etc.

Thank you very much for educating us

Thank you Doctor for this video.

Wow! This is a must watch.. glad I didn’t get fillers in this area..

Very very useful. Thank you so very much ♥️

Excellent video thank you!

God bless you. Thank you.

Awesome video...

Great video. I am convinced. Also lots of kids have nasolabial folds naturally and they are young and cute. Funny how as adults some people don't like them. Do you use a cannula for the forehead too?

Thank God I saw this video!🙏🏾 Looks like I’ll just keep taking my collagen supplement. 🤷🏾‍♀️💕💕💕

you are such a geat doctor andn the most azaming person

And this is why I would never ever get filler on my face. Thank you

Respectfully I know your information is right, I know you’re scaring some people from getting this done lol but There are risks for any procedure or any surgery done. It’s a risk you take. Go to someone experienced and hope for the best. I gotten fillers for my nasolabial folds from a very experienced person, no complications and love the results 😊

Thank you so much!

Woow Amazing video ❤❤❤❤

I just decided to not get fillers! Thank you Dr.😃

the best at explaining and easy to listen to. Thanks Dr. Chan. I've been injecting for several years. When I was taught we were not instructed to aspirate prior to injection. I questioned this In my initial training several years ago and again at another training 2 yrs ago and still is wasn't taught as a necessary step. I have to make conscious effort now until it comes naturally. I need to get over the initial awkwardness and move forward. Thanks again. Do you come to the states (east coast) and teach?

Excellent!

another great video aside from not realising how potentially dangerous it can be, mine are part of my face furniture 🤣 part of my natural facial landscape, as you mentioned i get botox for my tramlines on my forehead, another natural feature of my face that i have had since i was very young, from constantly raising my eyebrows - botox has really improved my appearance (incidentally i never suffered from the classic 11s from knitting my brows together. i don’t and never have had that issue i have had practitioners suggest filler for my nasoblasial folds, but i never really felt the need you can usually tell if someone has had it done, very flat faced. it’s like some injectors don’t appreciate that some people's faces are made that way

Great Video thanks

Thanks a lot!!!

is the area below the lips a risk area? I got fillers around my chin, just under my lips and am so worried this is a problem area and I was not told about the possible risks. also- it is always an immediate problem or can this arise later? thank you so much for making the consumer more knowledgable and giving us the power to ask questions.

I've had these lines at the nasal labial folds area. Even when I was in my early 30's. I hate these particular lines, they interfere with my makeup looking smooth.

I felt extreme pain when the needle went in the practionioner proceedered , on my drive home i notied a huge white circle above the entry point in mid cheeck. Messeged the practioner about the blanching she said it still has blood flow not to worry. I developed a head ache fell aslerp at 8pm, woke up at 1am with one blood shot eye on the side of the trauma , blurry vission, was in a total panic, rang the practionor went to ger house by 2am had my whole face disdolved . My face was all bruised and i had a hard lump for week at the initional injection point

Fantastic video as always! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. What are your thoughts on using PDO smooth threads in this area instead of filler?

I got my golds done today and this video was in thr back of my head the whole time lmao 🤣 thanks

What about aspiration. Does this eliminate or reduce the risk. Filling the cheeks in a fan formation can help reduce NL folds. It takes more filler and hence costs more.

Wow just wow thank you for this incrediable video, we’ve just think it’s a filler but it’s a real science. I’ve just think it’s not worth the risk

O wish you lived here!! I'm in Gilroy Calif.

I have had one autologus fat transplant and one filler injection in this area and although I would not do the fat transplant again , I feel very lucky I have had zero side effects. This is scary to watch but it is important we understand the risks

Excellent

Thank you

Can I please share this doctor? I always avoid this area and believe that your video highlights all the reasons so well. Thank you!

Now I'm scared

Thank you for the information dr! Can you avoid this complication to some degree if you fill with prp fillers?

Thank u Dr!! It is much better to know all the benefits and risks of a procedure. Also ur videos are such a great help for patients and fellow drs. Very educational thank u! Is it possible when doing fillers ti aspire a bit first with the syringe in order to see if blood comes out? Would it be an indication of hitting an artery? I pass all ur videos to a friend who is a dr. Cheers!!

Interesting and helpful! Wondered if aspirating before injecting filler is enough to avoid injecting into facial artery? I have watched many videos but have not come across anyone answering this question.

What is your opinion about the "hyaluropen"? Greetings and great info.

I wish you were based in the U.K.! Might have to save up and travel to Australia!

how come they aren't using "vein finder" light to see where the artery is?

Any topical seloution even for temporary time for this area?

Thank you!!

Hi thanks for the video and all the other one you've made. What is your opinion of the hyaluron pen for fillers? What are the chances of arterial penetration with it?

HI there. I find your videos very interesting indeed. My question however is whether these rules also apply when using a Hylauron Pen please?

Dr Chang very interesting. . I'm looking to have this done very soon I'm so glad I watch video can liposuction and maybe a lower face lift help with this it's more the side lies near my mouth. Keep up with the good videos . Carol UK

OMG u scared me esp. with those pics around 2:39 i was gonna fill out my laugh lines,
