The nasolabial fold is a triangular area located on the outer edge of the nostril. When you feel that your nasolabial folds are getting deeper, it may be due to the depression of the nasolabial fold. In this case, simply filling in the nasolabial folds will not completely improve the situation.
Nasolabial Fold Augmentation Surgery / Nasolabial Fold Insertion / Aristocratic Surgery Introduction
Nasolabial folds are triangular depressions located on the outer edge of the nostrils and above the lips. As we age, our bone structure shrinks slightly, making the nasolabial folds appear more sunken than the surrounding area, thus making the nasolabial folds more prominent. Simply filling in the nasolabial folds cannot completely improve the condition.
Nasal groove augmentation surgery involves inserting a specially designed triangular pad made of soft and elastic Gore-Tex material through a tiny incision in the oral mucosa. This pad is placed on the bone surface to appropriately support the area of the depression, improving mid-face hollowing. The surgical wound heals very quickly, and the postoperative results are very natural.
Nasal groove surgery wound location
The surgical wound is located inside the mouth, so there is no visible scar after the surgery.
