Nasolabial fold filler is hyaluronic acid filler (sometimes other gels) placed in the crease or the pyriform aperture next to it. It is often combined with cheek filler. The fold itself is described on nasolabial fold.
Overfill in the crease can read as a bulge beside the nose, especially if the cheek is still descended onto the line.

Same call as the fold page: if the crease is from descent, prefer a midface hitch (cog thread, surgical lift) over filling the crease alone. Filler here is camouflage or a small pyriform adjunct, not the first tool this encyclopedia would pick for a hanging cheek.
