If you’ve spent any time in a weight-loss Facebook group or watched a sponsored Instagram ad, you’ve probably seen two very different numbers attached to the same drug.

The nasolabial folds are the two lines that run from the outer edge of your nose down to the corners of your mouth. Everyone has them to some degree. They’re part of how the face moves.
