PMMA microspheres in purified collagen gel filler, 3 mL (generic for Bellafil, Artefil) with lidocaine
Folds Between the Nose and Mouth Corner
• The nasolabial fold is the groove from the corner of the nose to the outer corner of the mouth. The nasolabial fold deepens with age. Complete flattening or overfilling of the nasolabial fold should be avoided because complete flatting of the nasolabial fold will produce an unnatural appearance.
• Anatomic Considerations
Volume loss of the cheek and droping of the cheek mound can contribute to folding over of the skin.
• Injection Technique
Placement of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) filler in the nasolabial fold region may be performed with the crosshatching, fanning, linear threading, or serial puncture techniques. The filler should be placed below the skin, and the filler should be massaged into place after injection to reduce lumpiness.
Technique
The low area in front of the fold should be filled with PMMA placed parallel to the fold.
• After Care Instructions
Ice and pressure are helpful to prevent bruising near the nasolabial fold. Hyaluronic acid will swell during the first week, and then blend in more naturally.
• Injection Tips
The nasolabial fold should not be overly flattened because overcorrection and complete flattening of the nasolabial fold will look unnatural.
Hyaluronic acid and olymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) can be placed similarly in the nasolabial region. Hyaluronic acid and PMMA should be placed under the skin. With PMMA, patients should be "under-filled" initially, with re-treated six weeks later because PMMA is a permanent filler.
Fig. Techniques to treat the nasolabial fold are shown. (a) Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) filler may be placed along the depth of the fold as well as horizontally to support the filler.

I was able to place some of it. I was able to fill in a hole with this product. It was on my leg and I used both of my thumbs.

About 40% lasted as permanent. Two treatments are needed for lasting volume.

Easy to put in because of the nice directions. I like permanent quality. I like that I can do it one time and not have to do it again!
