A member asked:
I am 21, i have lost 15kgs recently, now i have noticed nasolabial fold which makes my mouth to protrude, will gaining weight help?

Probably not: Acute naso-labial fold the result of protruding teeth. Probably not related to weight loss. If you are the correct weight for your height (check w your md), then go see a qualified orthodontic specialist about your protrusion & naso-labial fold.

Probably not: Maintain a healthy weight and consult an orthodontist to correct the cause of your protrusion. It's a win - win.
