Hello,Plastic Surgeons Who Shape Impressions　My name is Ryutaro Natsume.

 

“I'm concerned about my nasolabial folds.” This is something people consult about at least once a day.

Deep nasolabial foldsTrying to fill it with hyaluronic acid alone will give you a ”hyaluronic acid face.”Please be careful as there have been incidents.⚠️

 

This time, we'll explain treatment strategies for nasolabial folds!

 

Causes of Nasolabial Folds

①Bone that was underdeveloped from the start/has atrophied due to aging (resulting in a concave change)

  

② Excess fat/severe sagging above the nasolabial folds (resulting in convex changes)

③ Strong facial muscle movement (i.e., changes that accentuate contours)

 

Treatment Methods by Cause

①Bone that was underdeveloped from the start/has atrophied due to aging (resulting in a concave change)

・Hyaluronic acid injection

・Nasal alar base prosthesis

・Injection of pulverized costal cartilage

 

② Excess fat/severe sagging above the nasolabial folds (resulting in convex changes)

Fat reduction, tightening, and lifting treatmentswill become.

・Tightening treatment：volnemaRF (radiofrequency therapy)

・Fat reduction treatments: Liposuction, fat-dissolving injections

Above the nasolabial folds lies a fat pad called the zygomatic fat pad, which is suctioned using a thin cannula inserted from the corners of the mouth.

・Lifting treatment: Thread lift

especiallyMid-face vertical lift technique(Using this method, vertically lift sagging skin above the nasolabial folds)

 

③ Strong facial muscle movement (i.e., changes that accentuate contours)

Treatment primarily targeting facial muscleswill become
