Hello,

💛your beauty universe! This is Weavers Plastic Surgery :)💛

​

Today, we brought a video where Dr. Seo Seung-jo

explains why nasolabial folds form,

so let's check it out~!!

​

​

What are nasolabial folds?

They refer to the wrinkles that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth;

It is a normal line that naturally deepens when you smile.

`

Newborn babies or individuals with facial paralysis may not have them because they cannot make facial expressions.

​

​

​

What causes nasolabial folds to form?

​

1. The face consists of muscles, fat, and skin covering the facial bones.

2. Facial muscles are connected from the bone to the skin.

​

When you smile, the muscles under the skin cannot move downwards and inevitably sag,

and the nasolabial folds move upwards, deepening further when you smile.

​

​

​Why do we care so much about nasolabial folds?

We care about nasolabial folds because they become progressively more severe as we age.

Most people desire a bright, youthful, and baby-faced appearance.

However, when nasolabial folds deepen, it gives off an older and more tired impression.

​

In some cases, severe nasolabial folds can make a person look older than their actual age.

1. People who smile a lot

2. People with a lot of facial fat

3. People with flat facial features

4. People with a protruding mouth

​

​

​

What are the solutions for nasolabial folds?

1. Exercise & Diet

Proper exercise and a healthy diet can make the face somewhat tighter,

and by eliminating unnecessary fat, the nasolabial folds will appear significantly reduced.

2. Filling

Filling methods include nasolabial fillers, fat grafting, and paranasal implants (noble surgery).

Because paranasal implants are placed on top of the bone, they are not effective for everyone.

Nasolabial fillers fill in the sunken areas, making the folds less visible. (They must be carefully injected layer by layer.)

Fat grafting provides a similar effect to nasolabial fillers.

3. Pulling (Lifting)

Pulling methods include thread lifting and facelifts. The appropriate procedure or surgery may vary depending on age and symptoms.

​

4. Adding Dimensionality

Lastly, making the face look more three-dimensional.

Many people with severe nasolabial folds tend to have a somewhat flat or pressed-in facial appearance.

For these individuals, making the face look more three-dimensional can make the nasolabial folds less noticeable.

​

Nasolabial folds are one of the natural phenomena that occur as we age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do nasolabial folds appear?

Yes, they appear due to the movement of facial muscles. When the muscles connecting the facial bones and skin move upwards when smiling, the skin folds, naturally deepening the wrinkles.

Are there any characteristics of people whose nasolabial folds look particularly severe?

Yes, they tend to be more prominent in people who smile a lot or have a lot of fat on their face. Also, people with a flat, less立体 face or a protruding mouth may appear older than their actual age due to deeper nasolabial folds.

Is aristocratic implant surgery the best way to get rid of nasolabial folds?

No. Many people do not see actual effects from aristocratic implants because they are placed on top of the bone. Instead, nasolabial fillers or fat grafting, which fill the sunken areas layer by layer, can be more effective in alleviating wrinkles.

What procedures should I get to improve nasolabial folds?

Depending on the symptoms and age, you can choose between filling and lifting methods. It is best to fill sunken areas with fillers or fat grafting, and lift sagging skin with thread lifting or a facelift. The appropriate method varies depending on the individual's condition.

Does diet help improve nasolabial folds?

Yes, appropriate exercise and a healthy diet can help. If unnecessary facial fat is reduced and the skin becomes tighter through diet, you can achieve the effect of significantly lighter nasolabial folds.
