When looking at a person’s face, you can roughly estimate their age based on the amount and depth of wrinkles. However, among wrinkles, the sunken area beside the nose, known as nasolabial hollowing, can appear in all age groups regardless of age, and because it gives a less favorable impression rather than a positive one, people end up considering treatment options to improve it.

There are various procedures for improving nasolabial hollowing, or nasolabial folds. These include simple filler injections, fat grafting, thread lifting, and the so-called aristocratic surgery, and among the options preferred for their short procedure time and quick recovery, aristocratic surgery is often chosen. Aristocratic surgery, a method for improving sunken nasolabial folds, inserts an implant to provide a semi-permanent duration and natural volume, improving the hollowed area beside the nose.

Aristocratic surgery for improving sunken nasolabial folds adds volume to the hollowed area beside the nose, helping improve nasolabial folds and reducing the appearance of a protruding mouth caused by nasolabial folds, which can make an angry-looking or pouty-looking expression softer and more gentle, and can also help change the overall impression.

Nasolabial folds can make you look older, and they can also create an angry or blunt impression. Especially if you are currently active in social and work life, it is recommended to improve them quickly before the hollowing becomes more severe.

At Soon Plus, a clinic specializing in surgery for sunken nasolabial folds, Gore-Tex implants are used and custom implants are made one-to-one according to the patient’s skin thickness and condition, as well as the degree of sunken nasolabial folds, so that a more natural and refined aristocratic surgery can be performed.

Many people mainly think of silicone implants for aristocratic surgery, but silicone implants are pre-made mass-produced products, so although the material cost is lower and the total procedure time is slightly shorter, Soon Plus prefers Gore-Tex, which has a higher material cost.

Why use the more expensive Gore-Tex material? In the case of Gore-Tex implants, one-to-one custom fabrication is possible. Silicone implants are already available as mass-produced products, but they are made in a wide variety of shapes. However, human skin and wrinkles come in thousands or tens of thousands of different forms, so only when aristocratic surgery is performed with custom-made implants can the level of completion and satisfaction be further increased, in my view.

For this reason, the procedure is carried out by creating an implant suitable for the patient through the sculpting of a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive knowledge, abundant experience, and know-how regarding Gore-Tex. Compared with aristocratic surgery using silicone, aristocratic surgery using Gore-Tex takes a little longer to fabricate, but thanks to the medical team’s know-how, the procedure time can be carried out quickly, so even busy office workers can improve sunken nasolabial folds without 부담.

Soon Plus nasolabial hollowing surgery and aristocratic surgery are performed through a minimal incision inside the mouth, so bruising and swelling are reduced, and surgical traces are not very noticeable, which can reduce the 부담 of recovery. In addition, by applying swelling-laser treatment and various recovery care systems, we can help you recover quickly.

To improve sunken nasolabial folds, substances such as fat grafting and fillers are also inserted. Of course, if performed properly, immediate effects and a short procedure time can confirm improvement, but the nasolabial fold area is located close to the mouth and is a highly mobile area, such as when speaking or eating, so the inserted material may be absorbed quickly, making it difficult to see a long-lasting effect.

If you want to satisfy long-lasting results, quick procedural effects, and fast recovery all at once, we recommend consulting about nasolabial hollowing surgery, or aristocratic surgery.
