Facial Rejuvenation | The Evolution of Aristocratic Surgery to Prevent Aging: Thread Lift + Nasolabial Fold Pads for a Firmer, More Youthful V-Shaped Face
Slight facial sagging and sunken nasolabial folds foreshadow the onset of aging!
Everyone experiences anxiety about aging. Choosing cosmetic procedures can slow down aging and boost your confidence!
The youthful, firm skin of one's twenties is a beautiful stage that everyone wants to hold onto. However, after the age of 30, it is inevitable that fine lines, eye bags, nasolabial folds, sagging skin, and other signs of aging will appear on the face. These facial details are often the key to revealing the secret of age, thus causing people to feel anxious about getting old.
An An, a natural beauty, is currently going through this stage.She's between 35 and 40, a time when she's always been careful about skincare, a period that combines charm and youthful innocence—the most attractive age. Without proper care, she would enter the mid-life aging stage, with early signs of sagging and hollowing appearing on her face.
→Fat around the mouth: When she was young, she had a firm V-shaped face, but now you can see the shadow of flesh around her mouth from the side, which indicates that her skin has become loose.
→Nasal groove depression: The depression at the base of the nose forms a linear shadow, with two short lines extending from the sides of the nose, creating a false protrusion of the mouth and making one look older.
▲Two areas of concern before surgery: the sunken nasolabial folds and sagging lower face.
An-An, who loves beauty, didn't want to become a middle-aged woman so quickly. In order to maintain her most beautiful appearance, she immediately made an appointment with Dr. Wei-Cheng Ching, a leading doctor in visual rejuvenation surgery at Taipei Arsty Clinic, for consultation, evaluation, and treatment recommendations.
Dr. Wei-Cheng Ching has over 16 years of experience in plastic surgery, specializing in facial contouring and comprehensive hidden-scar facelift procedures. During his consultation with An'an, he emphasized that aging is a holistic process, and the challenges of aging vary with individual circumstances, skincare routines, and environmental factors, leading to different issues at different ages.
→In the early stages of aging, the aging process is most noticeable on the upper face, with common problems including drooping eyebrows and eyes, and a sunken and sagging forehead. At this stage, if you want to restore a youthful appearance, it is generally recommended to start with a periorbital rejuvenation procedure, such as Endoscopic Forehead Lift, under-brow skin incision, and blepharoplasty.(Case Study: My Eyebrow Lift Experience - Choosing an Eyebrow Lift Surgeon, My Surgical Experience, Post-operative Care and Sharing)

→When entering middle age,Tissue atrophy combined with laxity is more pronouncedThe aging process is more extensive, with common problems including more severe eye bags and tear troughs. The degree of facial hollowing or sagging also increases, and nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chubby cheeks, and sagging of the mid and lower face appear. When facial sagging affects the face shape and turns it into a square face, the visual age increase is much stronger than if only the upper face is aged. An'an's current situation is a combination of hollowing and sagging, a sign of the onset of middle-aged aging!

So how should this situation be resolved? The doctor suggested that An'an could...Preventive surgery can improve symptoms when signs of aging are mild.This is a common practice among many wealthy women and socialites these days. Everyone wants to retain their most beautiful moments. The advantage of actively improving appearance when aging is still slight is that the results are natural, without the abrupt feeling of a completely different face, and it's also more cost-effective. In An'an's case, localized minor adjustments, such as lifting and nasolabial fold padding, can restore a youthful appearance and eliminate a serious, aged look.

▍Lower face sagging → Use thread lifting to enhance firmness and create a V-shaped face

- Those with mild facial sagging
- For those who have undergone non-invasive lifting procedures such as ultrasound lifting or radiofrequency lifting but are not satisfied with the lifting results, thread lifting can be used as a further option.

After undergoing the thread lift procedure, An An specifically mentioned that what impressed her most was the inconspicuous scarring. Because the incision was only the size of a pinhole, it was practically invisible. The recovery period was quick, and it didn't affect her natural facial expressions; she didn't have a stiff, surgically enhanced face, which was something she had been worried about. After Dr. Jing's detailed explanation, she also understood that thread lifts are a very safe minimally invasive cosmetic treatment.

▍Nasal groove depression → Gore-Tex implant aristocratic surgery to fill it
Many people confuse the locations of nasolabial folds and marionette lines, but their locations are actually related. Nasolabial folds are located on the outer edges of the sides of the nose, also known as the nasolabial grooves. Marionette lines are the two lines extending down from the sides of the nose.
As we age and our skin tissues deteriorate, noticeable wrinkles appear on both sides of the nose, making us look tired and listless. Timely intervention can prevent these wrinkles from extending to the corners of the mouth and connecting with marionette lines, thus preventing a more pronounced aged appearance. Because An-An hoped for immediate improvement after the surgery, Dr. Jing planned a high-end surgical procedure to correct the wrinkles.
The advantages of the Arsty Clinic Noble Surgery are a short recovery period and long-lasting, natural results. It uses soft Gore-Tex pads, which are trimmed to the appropriate size and thickness and inserted through a minimally invasive incision inside the mouth. The base of the triangular area on both sides of the nose is raised to fill the original depression. After the surgery, there will be no abrupt feeling of foreign objects. The overall effect is very natural, making it a highly recommended way to improve nasolabial folds.
