Rhinoplasty for Nasolabial Folds, from Young Adults to Middle Age

It seems that the time when people simply preferred flashy and distinct features has passed.

Recently, there has been a growing trend toward preserving each person’s individuality while pursuing a likeable image and a youthful, well-aged appearance.

As a result, the demand for procedures has also shifted away from those aimed at making facial features more distinct, and toward procedures that help with anti-aging, youthful facial contouring, and improving facial lines.

Rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds could be one of them.

Rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds is a procedure considered by many people regardless of age, from young adults to middle-aged people. Its main effect is to improve the sunken areas beside the nose and nasolabial folds by inserting a properly sized implant, creating volume and helping to improve the hollowing beside the nose and the nasolabial folds.

Facial wrinkles are a symbol of aging, but in the case of the nasolabial folds beside the nose, they can arise not only from aging but also from congenital factors or external factors such as habitual facial expressions. For that reason, this procedure is performed for people in their 20s through middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s.

The effect of nasolabial folds is not only to make a person look older, but depending on the degree of hollowing beside the nose, it can make the mouth appear relatively protruded, creating an unbalanced facial contour and a somewhat displeased-looking impression.

Recently, as the age range of social activities has increased, many middle-aged people continue to remain active in society.

A kind and likeable impression, along with a youthful image, can also be somewhat advantageous in social settings, so if deep nasolabial folds are a concern, we recommend improvement through rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds.

The rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds performed at Soon Plus uses a Gore-Tex implant. Because of the nature of Gore-Tex, it is easy to shape, so depending on each patient’s skin condition and the degree of hollowing, a customized implant can be created to enhance natural volume while helping improve nasolabial folds.

Soon Plus thoroughly assesses the patient’s skin condition through sufficient consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds, and by taking the patient’s needs into comprehensive consideration, the medical team can directly carve and create the appropriate implant. With a minimal incision inside the mouth, the implant is placed in the correct position, improving the hollowing beside the nose without implant movement.

Will rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds make you look like a monkey?

Among those considering rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds, some worry that after the procedure they may look like a monkey, that it will be noticeable when smiling, or that the implant may move. These are all issues that occur when the implant is placed incorrectly or the wrong implant is selected, and they can be prevented through accurate positioning and selection of depth.

In rhinoplasty for nasolabial folds, selecting the position and depth is an important factor that should not be overlooked. By choosing the proper position and depth, it helps prevent a monkey-like appearance, unnatural movement when smiling, and implant movement.

In addition, selecting the implant that is right for the patient requires a sense of design developed through extensive experience by the medical team. Soon Plus carefully carves customized implants that take each patient’s individual characteristics into account, aiming for highly satisfying results.
