[Jayjun Plastic Surgery in Korea]

Interest in maintaining a youthful appearance has consistently been high, both in the past and in the present. A face that looks younger than one's age often gives a bright and positive impression, which can significantly impact social interactions. Commonly, a youthful-looking face is characterized by a fullness of volume and the absence of sagging or wrinkles.

However, as everyone ages, they experience the phenomena of aging, leading to reduced skin elasticity, sagging areas, and gradually appearing wrinkles, all of which can become increasingly bothersome. Of course, some may consider shallow wrinkles or minor sagging as natural signs of aging. However, when the area next to the nose sags or when the nasolabial folds deepen into an 'eight' shape, it gives the impression of looking much older than one's actual age, which can become a complex.

When these nasolabial folds occur, they often become the main culprit of an aged appearance, leading many to seek surgical or procedural solutions. So, in this post, we will look in detail at Nasolabial Fold Surgery as an effective solution for deep nasolabial folds.

Causes of Nasolabial Folds

There are various reasons why nasolabial folds form on our faces. They can occur due to frequent muscle usage around the lips, sleeping habits, or lifestyle factors. Additionally, as you age and experience skin degradation, the fat in the facial tissue diminishes, resulting in a sagging appearance and revealing the contours of facial bones like the cheekbones. At this point, if the starting area beside the nostrils is sunken, it becomes a factor for deepening the nasolabial folds.

In such cases, the mouth may appear to protrude more, or the cheekbones may seem more prominent, giving the impression that one looks older than their actual age. Also, there may be instances where individuals have particularly deep nasolabial folds at a young age due to genetic factors.

Nasolabial Fold Treatment Methods

For nasolabial folds that are not too deep or if the area beside the nose is not severely sunken, treatment methods like filler injections or fat grafting can be used to fill in the sunken areas. However, if the area beside the nose is severely sunken and even at rest the area beside the nostrils is deeply indented, causing deep nasolabial folds, these methods have their limitations. In such cases, using customized implants such as silicone, AlloDerm, or Gore-Tex can effectively improve the deep nasolabial folds by adding volume to the sunken areas through Nasolabial Fold Surgery. This Nasolabial Fold Surgery is colloquially named for the noble appearance it provides post-surgery; medically, it can be termed as 'nasolabial augmentation.'

This procedure involves the insertion of customized implants into the sunken areas beside the nostrils to add volume, thereby improving deep nasolabial folds. The procedure consists of making a small incision of less than 1 cm inside the nose or mouth to create a pocket for the implant, followed by inserting a sterilized, customized implant deep into the skin, and finally securing the ends of the implant to prevent displacement. This process is conducted under sedation anesthesia and takes around 30 minutes, making the recovery quick.

Moreover, because the implant is inserted through a minimal incision inside the nose or mouth, there are no concerns about visible scarring, and it does not interfere with daily life while naturally eliminating deep nasolabial folds.

Candidates for Nasolabial Fold Surgery

This Nasolabial Fold Surgery is an effective surgical option for those who have deep nasolabial folds, appear older than their actual age, or have flat areas beside their nostrils and have not seen results from fillers or fat grafting. In such cases, it's crucial to select a design and implant size that best suit each individual's face shape, as the Nasolabial Fold Surgery effectively fills the sunken areas beside the nose, thereby eradicating deep nasolabial folds.

Satisfaction can be achieved when the procedure is tailored based on an accurate assessment of the current state of nasolabial folds and the degree of skin sagging on the face. Therefore, satisfactory results can be expected if one consults with experienced medical staff and receives an appropriate solution tailored to their skin condition after sufficient consultation.
