Which procedure would be most beneficial for facial plastic surgery to remove deep labial folds and how often would I need the procedure done?
Deeper facial lines and wrinkles can be treated with injectable fillers. There are numerous options available with varying costs and duration of effectiveness.
Deep nasolabial folds and lower third drooping is commonly addressed non-surgically via HA fillers (Juvederm/Restylane). However, for more dramatic changes, more invasive options such as a facelift may be needed.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

I like Radiesse injectable filler. It will plump the area, and because the area now has volume, you will have more of a lifted look. Touch ups are needed about every 12-18 months. Implants can be used, but I don't think they look good as the face ages.

Lifting facial features can be done, optimally, with surgery. But properly selected patients, and in the right provider's hands, one can achieve beautiful results with fillers (Voluma) as well.
