Removal of marionette lines and nasolabial folds
About lifting and filler effects

Nasolabial folds are such a concern for me.
The fold-like lines on both sides of the nose and cheeks near the mouth can be said to be wrinkles that naturally appear with age due to smiling expressions.
However, once they appear, they do not go away naturally, so they are also one of the main causes of making the face look older.
How are nasolabial folds and lines around the mouth different?
Wrinkles around the mouth occur as the area near the mouth sags, so unlike nasolabial folds that occur on the cheeks beside the nose, they are wrinkles that form as the corners of the mouth sag.
Therefore, intensive management of these two concerns should be approached a little differently if you want to expect removal and improvement effects.

The basic condition for looking youthful: wrinkles around the mouth!
What are the ways to reduce them?
Unlike wrinkles around the mouth, nasolabial folds can be a serious concern even for age groups in which looking older is not especially noticeable depending on facial expression.
In such cases, looking into the effects of nasolabial fold filler or thread lifting may be helpful in various ways.
However, people who are looking into marionette filler because of wrinkles around the mouth often worry seriously about it starting in middle age, when signs of aging become more visible.
If wrinkles around the mouth, sagging muscles, and sagging skin have led to pronounced buccal fat, it can be useful to check both the sunken areas caused by aging and the sagging areas, and to look into appropriate help through filler, Botox, lifting, and so on without overdoing it.

The main culprit behind a face that looks older
Can marionette filler help?
As aging progresses, the muscle layer that supports the skin and fat gradually loses strength, and because the sagging areas press down around the mouth, the facial impression changes.
That is why wrinkles caused by skin sagging and jowls caused by sagging fat appear.
Therefore, many people wonder which of the various methods, including Botox, filler, and lifting, would be effective.
Is it impossible to remove jowls (buccal fat) with laser lifting?
The principles of laser lifting vary greatly depending on the type.
However, since the common principle is lifting sagging skin, it is better to expect effects on issues such as a collapsed jawline or a double chin.
Therefore, for marionette lines around the mouth and nasolabial folds beside the nose, it may be more appropriate to approach them with a method that fills in sunken areas through filler.
How should marionette concerns be improved?
As aging progresses, collagen in the skin declines and the muscles weaken, so areas where the skin and fat begin to sag can become hollow, or conversely, protrude due to sagging.
When this happens, the overall facial line collapses.
Therefore, areas where volume has been lost and become hollow may need to be filled appropriately, areas with reduced elasticity may need lifting, and fine wrinkles may need to be managed with Botox.
The reason different solutions are applied by area is that the effects that can be expected are all different.
First, areas where wrinkles formed due to sagging skin inevitably become deeper.
At times like this, it is good to fill in the deep grooves and design a firmer face shape.
Also, for sagging muscles, it is good to manage them with Botox so that the muscles that constantly move in the direction of sagging are temporarily paralyzed and wrinkles do not form.

Marionette filler, Botox,
and even anti-aging IV therapy!
Petite procedures that fill and smooth are very important for preventing the progression of aging so that the effects remain semi-permanent.
Some people say it was difficult to maintain the effects of wrinkles around the mouth or nasolabial fold filler for a long time.
When the human body ages, what happens internally is greater than what appears on the outside.
Therefore, only by preventing internal aging as well can you expect the effects to last longer.
Because of this, Balance Lab Plastic Surgery uses anti-aging IV therapy, which is composed of key ingredients that can help skin health, including preventing aging.
In particular, glutathione is a component that middle-aged people also take as a supplement.
Its amount in the body continues to decrease with age, just like collagen synthesis, and when the amount is insufficient, the speed of aging accelerates.
In such situations, even if you receive filler, Botox, or lifting because you are concerned about nasolabial folds or marionette lines, there may be limits to how long the effects can be maintained.
That is why Balance Lab, which focuses on lifting research, designs personalized solutions for everyone, from those looking into the effects of nasolabial fold filler to those looking into ways to remove marionette lines.

Could thread lifting or a mini lift
be unnecessary for marionette lines?
In fact, when facial fat has disappeared and the face has begun to sag, it may be necessary to consider not only filler and Botox but also other methods such as thread lifting, a mini lift, and fat grafting.
Even when the sagging is very severe and, in addition to filler and Botox, a stronger lifting effect is needed by area, applying a customized approach may actually yield better results.
I’m not sure what I need for my jowls or marionette line removal.
Even if you can see the degree of skin sagging or wrinkles, it is natural that only medical professionals can know exactly how advanced the stage is.
Therefore, if you want to learn as accurately as possible about your current condition and set up an appropriate plan, it is also recommended to visit a plastic surgery clinic where you can expect the effects of nasolabial fold filler and Botox through various solutions.
The reason is that at Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, which studies lifting, they check each person’s bodily aging and the stage of visible facial aging, then design an appropriate plan for each area.

Filler, Botox, thread lifting, mini lift,
and customized anti-aging IV therapy
I want to know the differences between the various solutions
As explained above, filler and Botox fill in sunken areas and control sagging muscles, so if other issues are identified, thread lifting, a mini lift, or even buccal fat removal may be necessary.
In particular, when jowls (buccal fat) protrude severely and sag, marionette lines become even deeper.
At times like this, removal may be needed, but even then, the amount removed must be appropriate so it does not interfere with the facial line.
Then it is necessary to analyze precisely in which direction the fat has sagged and why it has developed in this way and protruded outward.
Therefore, before designing a customized solution, Balance Lab conducts precise examinations and analyzes the cause for everyone, and does its best to ensure the effects can be expected with the minimum necessary procedures.

Marionette lines, the symbol of aging
OUT
So far, we have explained in detail what points need to be checked when many people simply look into the effects of nasolabial fold filler or marionette filler.
The reason Balance Lab recommends suitable lifting procedures so that youth can once again fill the body from within and anti-aging effects can also be expected on the outside is to help maintain the effects for a relatively long time in removing marionette lines and jowls.
If you want to see an anti-aging effect through a solution that addresses the root cause, rather than simply pulling and filling, for the appearance concerns you had while looking in the mirror, it may be good to first restore balance both inside and out.
