NOSE TO MOUTH LINES

NOSE TO MOUTH LINES, ALSO KNOWN AS NASOLABIAL FOLDS, ARE THE LINES RUNNING FROM THE SIDES OF THE NOSE TO THE MOUTH CORNERS.

THEY ARE A NORMAL PART OF FACIAL EXPRESSION; CHILDREN HAVE THEM WHEN THEY SMILE. OVER TIME, AS WE AGE, THE FOLDS BECOME MORE PROMINENT. THEY CAN BECOME PRESENT AT REST, AND THE OVERLYING SKIN CAN DEVELOP STATIC (PERMANENT) WRINKLES.

NASOLABIAL FOLDS CAN BE CORRECTED THROUGH INJECTIONS OF DERMAL FILLER INTO THE SURROUNDING AREA, RESTORING VOLUME LOSS AND SOFTENING SKIN FOLDS.

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT NOT TO OVERCORRECT THE FOLDS: TOO MUCH PRODUCT WILL ELIMINATE THE FOLDS WHEN YOU SMILE, LEADING TO AN OVERFILLED EXPRESSION THAT LOOKS ARTIFICIAL. FOR HIS REASON WE DYNAMICALLY ASSESS YOUR FACE AS WE TREAT.

TREATING THE CHEEKS IN COMBINATION HELPS TO PREVENT THIS: FAT AND BONE LOSS FROM THE TISSUES ABOVE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE FOLDS BEING MORE PROMINENT. BY ADDING VOLUME ABOVE WHERE IT HAS BEEN LOST, IT OFTEN DECREASES THE VOLUME OF FILLER NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE FOLDS.

THE DESIRED END RESULT IS A NASOLABIAL FOLD THAT IS LESS VISIBLE AT REST (IN SOME CASES IT CAN BE COMPLETELY ABOLISHED), WHICH IS STILL VISIBLE WHEN YOU SMILE, WITH SMOOTHER, MORE YOUTHFUL OVERLYING SKIN.
