Nasolabial Fold Augmentation: Erase the Traces of Time on the Face

3 Main Causes of Deep Nasolabial Folds

The appearance of sagging and deep-set nasolabial folds is primarily caused by the following 3 main factors:

Facial Skin Aging, Bulging of Upper Fat Pads

Over time, facial fat tends to move downwards due to the effects of the aging process. The skin of the nasolabial area will lose elasticity, becoming easily saggy and forming deeper nasolabial folds.

Bone Loss in the Piriform Aperture Area

The bone in the piriform aperture area and the nasolabial folds can resorb over time, causing the overlying skin to lose support. When combined with sagging skin, this will make the nasolabial area appear even deeper.

Facial Tissue Ptosis

Facial skin ptosis causes the skin, muscles, and fat to be pulled downwards. When these tissues are pulled down, the skin in the nasolabial area is also pulled down, forming deep folds.

What is Nasolabial Fold Augmentation?

Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines or marionette lines, are the creases on either side of the cheeks that connect the wings of the nose and the cheeks, making the face look older with deep wrinkles. Currently, Nasolabial Fold Augmentation can be corrected with filler material, removal of fat pads, or a facelift to eliminate overly deep nasolabial folds.

When performing Nasolabial Fold Augmentation at Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital, the doctor will conduct an examination and assess the condition, then correct it using one of the following 3 methods:

Using filler material: For the cheek area with bone loss in the nasolabial fold region, the doctor will use materials such as silicone produced from Korea or the United States, or biocompatible materials that are soft and do not affect the movement of the mouth.

Removing fat pads: Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital uses Ultrasound technology and laser surgery to reduce the fat pads above the face. This will effectively improve the fat pads precisely, eliminating the smile lines.

Facelift: For cases over 40 years old with severe skin sagging, a facelift in the 4 or 5 point areas will be necessary to effectively improve this condition.

Advantages of the Nasolabial Fold Augmentation Method

• Guaranteed safe procedure, no complications: Adherence to a safe, standardized procedure performed by a team of experienced doctors ensures safe aesthetic results without causing complications.
• Effective nasolabial fold reduction: Significantly improves deep, sunken nasolabial folds, giving you a slimmer, more youthful, and radiant face.
• Helps skin become firm and elastic: Lifting the nasolabial folds also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping the skin become firmer, more elastic, and rejuvenating the mid-face for a fresher look.
• Short procedure time: On average, each session only takes about 30-60 minutes, saving you time and not affecting your daily life.

Who should undergo Nasolabial Fold Augmentation?

• Individuals with sagging, aging faces that have deep nasolabial folds.
• Individuals who naturally have noticeable nasolabial folds on their face even at a young age.
• Cases where previous nasolabial fold augmentation with fillers was ineffective.
•  Individuals who desire to improve the nasolabial fold area for a more charming smile and long-lasting, unchanged results.

Nasolabial Fold Augmentation Technology Procedure

A nasolabial fold augmentation procedure will go through the following basic steps:

Step 1: Doctor consultation and examination

The doctor will check the customer’s current facial condition and inquire about their desires to provide appropriate analysis and evaluation.

Step 2: Health check

A health check is an extremely important step to determine if the customer is healthy enough to undergo surgery. A comprehensive health check must be performed according to the requirements issued by the Ministry of Health.

Step 3: Measurement and marking of nasolabial fold ratio

To help customers feel more secure before surgery, the doctor will carefully measure and mark the nasolabial fold ratio, meticulously refining every detail. This step is crucial as it significantly determines the aesthetics after surgery.

Thanks to the analysis data from the AI-powered X-ray machine, the doctor will use it to create a basic outline of the standard proportions, facilitating the main surgical procedure.

Step 4: Anesthesia

The doctor will perform anesthesia, which may be local anesthesia or sedation, to eliminate the customer’s pain during the entire procedure.

Step 5: Nasolabial Fold Augmentation

Depending on the chosen method, the doctor will perform different techniques. The doctor will correctly apply techniques such as inserting filler material, removing fat pads, and performing an Smas facelift in the 4 and 5 point areas to quickly and effectively remove excess facial fat.

Step 6: Post-operative care

To achieve beautiful and satisfactory results, post-operative care plays an extremely important role. Through this step, you will be instructed on a reasonable nutrition and rest regimen to speed up the recovery process.
