Before And After Nasolabial Folds Case 1252

ABOUT OUR PATIENT
This woman in her late 30s came to Mabrie Facial Institute seeking a subtle, natural refresh. Her primary concerns were softening the appearance of nasolabial folds and reducing a gummy smile—both of which she felt were beginning to draw focus in photos. She wasn’t interested in looking drastically different, just more balanced and confident in her everyday expressions. At MFI, that’s exactly our focus: enhancing what’s already beautiful with precision and care.

MFI TREATMENT PLAN
To refine her nasolabial area and smile, we designed a targeted Botox treatment plan—no fillers, just subtle sculpting through muscle relaxation:

Botox for Nasolabial Folds: Carefully placed units were injected into the lower facial muscles that contribute to fold depth and tension. This softens the area by relaxing underlying activity, allowing the skin to smooth naturally over time.

Botox for Gummy Smile: A few units were placed in the muscles responsible for upper lip elevation during smiling. This repositioned the lip slightly, minimizing gum exposure for a more balanced and confident smile.

This conservative approach is ideal for patients seeking a light-touch improvement without adding volume, and creates a refreshed look that still feels entirely “you.”

THE OUTCOME
Just two weeks post-treatment, this patient saw the subtle yet transformative results she was hoping for. Her gummy smile is gently reduced, her upper lip now resting in a softer, more flattering position—showing more teeth and less gum. The nasolabial folds appear smoother and less pronounced, thanks to the strategic muscle relaxation. Best of all, she still looks completely like herself—just a bit more refreshed and photo-ready, with results that feel effortless and entirely personalized.
