Overview

Nasolabial folds, the deep creases extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, are common facial features that can deepen with age, contributing to an aged or tired appearance. Many individuals seek treatments to reduce these folds, enhance facial symmetry, and achieve a smoother, more youthful look around the mouth and cheeks.

Description

Various treatment options are available to address nasolabial folds, ranging from minimally invasive injectables to surgical interventions. These treatments aim to reduce the depth of folds, tighten loose skin, and restore facial harmony.

Consultation

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess the depth and symmetry of your nasolabial folds, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment options. Factors such as skin type, facial anatomy, and desired outcomes will guide the choice between fillers, implants, or facial procedures.

Procedure

  • Immediately After Surgery:
    • Sleeping: Elevate your head on two pillows.

  • First Week:
    • Activity Restrictions: Avoid talking, laughing, visitors, and significant effort. Do not make head movements.
    • Nasal Care: Expect a stuffy nose due to packing or a splint. Use gauze to catch blood, and do not insert anything into the nose.
    • Wound Care: Clean nostrils with diluted hydrogen peroxide and apply antibiotic ointment.
  • Fillers:
    • Materials Used: High-quality fillers such as Perlane and Artecoll, or your own fat (fat transfer).
