Understanding Nasolabial Folds: Why Complete Removal Isn't Always the Best Approach > Plastic Surgery

Things to know before getting rid of nasolabial folds: Is complete removal difficult?

Hello,

I am Dr. Yun Seung-gi, head director.

If there's a part of your face you notice first every time you look in the mirror,

it's probably those lines that crease on either side of your mouth,

the so-called 'nasolabial folds'.

​

These folds tend to deepen over time,

adding a tired or aged look to the face,

making them a concern for many.

​

That's why many people are looking for natural ways to get rid of nasolabial folds.

​

But completely eliminating these folds isn't as easy as you might think.

​

Today, I want to talk about why that is and discuss a realistic approach.

What is the structure of nasolabial folds?

Nasolabial folds aren't just simple skin creases;

they're the result of a combination of factors.

These folds can usually be divided into three parts:

​

The hollow area next to the nose

The nasolabial fold itself

The bulging cheek fat above the fold

​

These three elements combine to form the overall impression.

When these three parts are

lifted by pulling the skin and tissue through a lifting surgery,

the angle of the nasolabial folds changes as shown in the image,

and by removing some of the bulging fat,

the nasolabial folds can be improved naturally.

​

Therefore, when considering getting rid of nasolabial folds,

an approach tailored to the three-dimensional structure of the face is necessary.

​

There are limitations even with a lifting approach

A facelift is not a surgery to eliminate all existing wrinkles,

but rather a surgery that gives you 'youth'.

​

At this point,

What does this mean?

Isn't getting rid of wrinkles giving you youth?

You might be thinking.

​

A facelift is not a surgery that eliminates 100% of wrinkles,

but a surgery that naturally lifts wrinkles.

It might be easier to understand if you approach it as such.

​

At this time, some people may be wondering if they can have their wrinkles pulled 100% clean if they want to.

The nasolabial area is greatly affected by the skeletal structure.

If pulled excessively,

the skin may look unnatural.

​

Rather than simply smoothing out wrinkles,

naturalness within the overall harmony of the face is important.

​

In fact, if you pull too hard, the nasolabial line itself may fade,

but an imbalance with the surrounding areas can create an artificial impression.

​

So recently, rather than getting rid of nasolabial folds,

‘softening the nasolabial line’ is more preferred.

​

I prefer natural elegance over unnatural surgical results.

​

When comparing before and after photos,

it has changed,

“Something looks prettier and much younger…?”

We aim for natural surgical results that are not awkward and can give you the same impression,

​

We aim for surgical results that not only eliminate wrinkles,

but also consider the overall harmony and impression of the face,

​

This approach has the advantage of becoming more natural and beautiful over time.

​

Getting rid of nasolabial folds, naturalness is key

Whatever the method, rather than thinking 'I'm going to get rid of it completely',

it is important to aim for a natural change that is not burdensome over time.

​

A change that gives the impression that something has become softer and much younger.

That is the key to improving the nasolabial line that is preferred these days.

​

Rather than simply focusing on a specific area,

an approach that considers the overall balance of the face and a soft impression is more important.

Getting rid of nasolabial folds, try approaching it with a realistic goal of 'natural improvement' rather than perfection.
