Nasolabial fold correction

The nasolabial fold is a deep skin grain which runs from the nose wing to the corner of the mouth. The nasolabial fold, which becomes deep by the movement of facial expression, is accurately defined as the dynamic wrinkle. However, the specific malars and the mouth positions of Asian faces easily emphasize the nasolabial folds without any facial express. The cheeks drooping and the lines around mouth corners worsen the symptoms to create a senile impression. .

The formation of the nasolabial folds is because of a firm connective tissue between the skin and the superficial fascia, which binds them tightly to each other. Completely separating the connective tissue is necessary for achieving a satisfactory result of nasolabial fold correction. The goal could be accomplished by utilizing a special designed wire scalpel of nasolabial fold. However, the dissected nasolabial fold will easily go back to the original position if the nasolabial fold is too deep or the tissue is too thick. Consequently, the surgeon will fill either tissues or fillers under the nasolabial fold in order to increase the durability of effect after the surgery. If you have the cheeks drooping, the lines around mouth corners and pronounced nasolabial folds, mid-face lift can also improve these problems.

If you were not considering receiving a surgical treatment for nasolabial fold correction, then hyaluronic acid injection or collagen filling would also be good choices. However, the effects of both hyaluronic acid and collagen can only last for six month and the repeated injection is required.

 
 
  The surgery is started by creating one 0.2~0.25cm incision each on both upper side and lower side of the nasolabia fold. The surgeon then inserts the wire scalpel into the interval to dissect the connective tissue that firmly stuck the fold. The next procedure is to implant the trimmed terudermis, Goretax or auto-fascial strap along with the dissected submucosal tissue. If the auto-fascial strap were applied in this surgery, we would have to make a 3cm incision at buttock cleavage to get buttock fascia graft. If the fat graft were chose, we would get small amount of fat from the belly button. After the procedures mentioned above are performed, the surgeon can stitch up the incisions and carries out the surgery. The surgery length is between 40 minutes and 90 minutes.
