Which surgery is best for removing nasolabial folds?

Nasal folds refer to the lines located on both sides of the nose. They are a type of wrinkles and have a great impact on a person's image. For this reason, many men or women with nasolabial folds want to remove them in some way. Among these, using plastic surgery or micro plastic surgery to remove nasolabial folds on the face is the most effective and has the fastest effect. So, which surgery is better for removing nasolabial folds?

1. Conventional version - hydrating needle

Suitable age: Women over 25

Indications: Tightening of the fascia layer, and minor nasolabial folds caused by skin dehydration and insufficient nutrition due to bad habits.

The hyaluronic acid injection is a method of introducing uncross-linked hyaluronic acid into the dermis through professional instruments to directly replenish nutrients. So the term mesotherapy also refers to this. This name was proposed in 1952 and it is just a name. Our dermis is the cell base camp, providing fresh new cells for the epidermis. The production capacity of the dermis will decrease with age, causing the skin to age.

The hyaluronic acid injection is not non-invasive. It introduces hyaluronic acid by piercing the dermis of the skin with a needle. Now many beauty salons will add various ingredients to hyaluronic acid, such as whitening ingredients glutathione, tranexamic acid, vitamin C, etc.; or anti-wrinkle ingredients: botulinum toxin, etc. The method is feasible, but the authenticity of the domestically introduced ingredients is the key.

The effect of hyaluronic acid injection is obvious, but there is a certain recovery period after the treatment, and it is timed to fail, so it needs to be injected continuously to maintain the effect.

2. Conventional version - thread lift

Suitable age: Women over 30

Indications: Slightly sagging contours, shallow nasolabial folds

Thread embedding is a good method, especially for people of Hong Gu’s age. Although her face is not sagging, the fascia layer is not that strong. The tension of the thread can not only enhance the contour but also weaken the nasolabial folds. You can also use the principle of trauma to stimulate skin collagen regeneration and improve skin quality, killing two birds with one stone.

3. Professional version - hyaluronic acid injection

Suitable age: Women over 30

Indications: Shallow nasolabial folds

The professional version is specifically designed to solve the problem of nasolabial folds. I think this method is more suitable for young babies. Just inject medium-molecular or large-molecular hyaluronic acid at the nasolabial folds to fill the "depression". For older babies, hyaluronic acid only plays an auxiliary role. If the problem of sagging is not solved, the effect will not be ideal.

4. Professional version - autologous fat filling

Suitable age: Women over 30

Indications: Obvious nasolabial folds

The advantage of autologous fat over hyaluronic acid is that the effect lasts longer. The effectiveness of the operation depends mainly on the doctor's skills. Bird Brother believes that it is a good idea to use autologous fat filling simply to improve nasolabial folds, because the nose wing has more blood vessels and fewer nerves, and the implanted fat is easier to survive.

Since fat cannot dissolve like hyaluronic acid after filling, Bird Brother believes that a safer way is to try the filling effect with hyaluronic acid for the first time. If the improvement is satisfactory, fat can be implanted to maintain it after the hyaluronic acid is absorbed.

5. Advanced version - facelift

Suitable age: Women over 40

Indications: loose skin, severely sagging contours, and deep nasolabial folds.

A facelift is a major surgery with great trauma, but it is also the most effective way to eliminate nasolabial folds and severe facial sagging. Dr. Ryuichi Utsugi, whom Bird Brother particularly respects, has performed clinical surgery for many years. He eventually improved the facelift surgery into facial muscle correction, which tightens the fascia while trimming the facial expression muscles. Not only the nasolabial folds, but many lines on the face will disappear after the operation, which is very magical.
