Dr Yousrah Ahmed explores perioral rejuvenation using filler to lift and support soft tissues
As patients age, the perioral area undergoes significant structural changes that alter facial aesthetics. This multifaceted process, influenced by both intrinsic ageing and environmental factors, often manifests as deepened nasolabial folds, volume loss, marionette lines and chin retrusion.
