Contour repair of nasolabial folds: precautions and contraindications



Very often for one reason or another, most people have lines on their face that extend from the corners of the lips to the wings of the nose. The appearance of such characteristic lines significantly impairs the appearance of the face and indicates its aging process.

These lines are called nasolabial folds, which provide for various options for the struggle in modern medicine.

The appearance and manifestation of nasolabial folds is typical for different ages: in some people they may appear as early as 15 years old, others notice the formation of folds after 30, and others - a little later.



The procedure by which you can change the contours of the face, as well as the volume of the lips and their shape by injecting an injection under the skin, is called contouring the nasolabial folds.

The main areas of contour plastics of nasolabial folds are wrinkle smoothing and getting rid of them, as well as the removal of nasolabial folds.

Nasolabial folds are distinguished by the following types:

• Fold-stroke, which is a thin line, not particularly pronounced on the face.
• GAP-fold, is more pronounced, appears on the background of the aging process.
• Tab-gradient, it is formed as a result of a sharp difference in the height of the cheeks and upper lip.

For contouring the nasolabial folds, the following methods are provided:



• volumetric correction;
• bio-reinforcement process;
• The process of filling wrinkles, which is called linear filling.

To eliminate nasolabial folds, an effective method is a bio-reinforcement method, which allows for the adjustment of changes associated with the age indicator. The procedure also helps to strengthen the base of the dermis, getting rid of sagging skin, as well as smoothing nasolabial folds.

Often, skin changes and the appearance of nasolabial folds can age a person for 10 or even 15 years.

This phenomenon manifests itself as a result of the weakening of the dermal base, which consists of collagen, reticulin and elastic fibers. The tissue structure changes, and aging is manifested, as they say, "on the face."

Previously, such a problem was fought with the help of surgical intervention, implanting gold and platinum threads or other synthetic structures.

Today, there is a more efficient and simplified method of getting rid of nasolabial folds using the patient's own skin. The method is called bio-reinforcement.



• Plastic nasolabial folds is to maintain the injection of hyaluronic acid in the nasolabial area.
• The result is the process of creating an intradermal scaffold, which has a lifting effect.
• The acid itself cannot prevent the skin from sagging again, but it prevents the canal from being tightened, which is subsequently injected. In other words, the correct injection of hyaluronic acid helps to form a "skeleton net", which has elastic properties and prevents the appearance of sagging of the dermis.

Contour correction of nasolabial folds provides for contraindications to the procedure. The main number of contraindications includes the following factors:

• the presence of an allergic reaction to drugs that can be used for plastics;
• the period of pregnancy and lactation;
• the presence of menstruation;
• fungal lesions of the skin;
• viral and infectious diseases;
• diabetes;
• diseases of internal organs;
• problems associated with blood clotting;
• immune diseases;
• psychological disorders;
• recent transfer of any operation.

Options for tightening the nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds are mimic wrinkles, and they can appear at different ages. The causes of nasolabial folds may be different.

1. Muscle cramps in the lips, nose and cheekbones. Often this phenomenon occurs in people with the presence of expressiveness of mimicry. As a result, the muscles contract, which leads to their shortening. Subsequently, the skin is drawn in and tight folds are formed.
2. Strongly relaxed facial muscles, resulting in a sagging of the cheeks.
3. Loss of skin elasticity properties. It occurs as a result of loss of tone. Sagging of the skin appears and nasolabs are formed.
4. Hereditary predisposition There are such cases that the nasolabial folds begin to be clearly expressed from early childhood. This factor depends on the characteristics of the hereditary structure of the face.
5. The influence of bad habits. Smoking especially affects muscle tension in the nasolabial triangle.
6. Neglect facial treatment.
7. The appearance of folds due to postponed birth injuries, which led to the characteristic location of the cranial bones.
8. Definition of abnormal bite.
9. The appearance of folds as a result of professional skills, for example, the speaker or actor.
10. Dramatic weight loss also leads to nasolabial folds.

The general event for the elimination of nasolabial folds includes the process of tightening the skin and adding necessary volume to problem areas.

Tightening the nasolabial folds involves the use of various options:

• Contour plastic. This method is the fastest method of getting rid of wrinkles. The spaces under the skin are filled with fillers that form the desired volume. For the procedure, mainly used drugs, which are based on hyaluronic acid.
• Lipofilling The technique is similar to the contour plastics technique, only the fillers here are replaced by the patient's own fat.
• Application of botulinum toxin method. Opinion on the use of this option is ambiguous. Some experts consider the effective use of Botox, while others are of the opinion that such injections are ineffective in eliminating nasolabial folds.
• Lifting non-surgical method. Tightening and strengthening occurs with the help of a hardware procedure.
• Tightening with threads. This technique is often used with additional injections for volume.
• Lifting surgically. The nasolabial folds are tightened by tightening the skin.

It should be noted that after a successful tightening of the nasolabial folds, it is recommended to prevent the formation of new folds.

The necessary measures for this are as follows:

• Care of the skin with the help of cosmetic and medical preparations.
• Healthy lifestyles, including properly formulated diet.
• Gymnastics for the face, which should be carried out regularly. And if necessary, refer to a professional masseuse.
• Properly moisturizing the skin. In general, the use of hyaluronic acid creams is recommended.
• Do not abuse ultraviolet light. For relaxing on the beach, sunscreen is a must.
• Peeling procedures that can improve the functional properties of the skin and prevent the appearance of folds.
• Avoiding stressful situations.
• If possible, exercise in the open air: trips to the forest or lake.

The effectiveness of liposuction nasolabial folds

Liposuction of nasolabial folds is in great demand in modern medicine. With the help of this procedure, it is possible to produce a general rejuvenation of the entire face in a relatively short time and without any special risk to health by filling the nasolabial folds with deep fat. Liposuction can be used separately and can be supplemented with a tightening using threads.

To achieve an effective result, lipofilling will be repeated, as the transplanted fat cells tend to die off.

Liposuction of the nasolabial folds should be carried out according to certain indications and according to the results of relevant analyzes of the patient's nasolabial region. The procedure involves the process of removing the roller, after which the room is filled with fat.

The nasolabial zone has a positive characteristic for fat engraftment. Fatty growth factors in turn contribute to the rapid healing and significant rejuvenation of the skin. The result is a young look and a great mood.
