Reducing Procedure Costs with Facial Wrinkle Lifting for Nasolabial Folds

Hello.

I am Dr. Park Hyun-jun, Chief Director at the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Recently, more patients have been showing interest in facial wrinkle lifting.

In particular, among many areas of the face, the number of people visiting the clinic to improve nasolabial folds has been increasing.

One of the questions many people have is whether nasolabial folds can be completely smoothed out.

In today’s post, I will clearly explain nasolabial folds among facial wrinkle lifting procedures and answer whether lifting can completely smooth them out 😊

Why do nasolabial folds form?

Because of each person’s oral structure, nasolabial folds may appear deeper, but anatomically, it is normal for people to have nasolabial folds.

However, as people age and lose facial elasticity, with volume diminishing and the face sagging, previously natural-looking nasolabial folds can appear deeper.

Can lifting completely eliminate nasolabial folds?

The process of pulling on nasolabial folds involves lifting the cheek fat upward.

In other words, the more the nasolabial folds need to be smoothed, the more the fat is lifted, which may make the outer part of the cheekbone appear larger or more prominent.

In other words, it is not possible to completely remove nasolabial folds, but if you undergo thread lifting or a lifting surgery, some improvement is possible.

Smile Mini Lifting for improving nasolabial folds

By making a small incision diagonally near the sideburn area, this procedure reduces concern about scarring and pulls mainly around the central face. Smile Mini Lifting may help improve nasolabial folds.

What is the difference between Mini Lifting and Smile Mini Lifting?

Conventional Mini Lifting focused on creating a V-line centered on the jawline by making a horizontal incision and pulling upward from the lower face.

In contrast, Smile Mini Lifting uses a diagonal incision and pulls the facial SMAS layer diagonally, which makes it possible to improve the midface, including the eye area and nasolabial folds.

Smile Mini Lifting is recommended for these people.

Smile Mini Lifting may be helpful for those who want to improve the elasticity of the midface or who are considering a procedure with a relatively small incision range and less concern about scarring.

As a lifting procedure that pulls the fascia of the upper face, it may help improve not only nasolabial folds but also fine wrinkles around the eyes, the cheekbones, and jawline elasticity.

Also, because the surgery time is relatively short and the recovery period is not too burdensome, it may be suitable for those who want to return to daily life quickly.

A procedure that pairs well with Smile Mini Lifting!

Through a brow lift and upper eyelid surgery, loose skin is removed, fat is adjusted as needed, and then the muscles are pulled and fixed in place. This may help improve drooping eyelids.
