One of the most obvious signs of age is pronounced nasolabial folds. Coming to an appointment with an esthetician for the first time, patients most often complain about nasolabial folds. To resort to the help of a specialist, they are pushed by the desire to get rid of skin creases, a shadow around the mouth and nose, which makes the face tired. This problem is quite solvable, however, in order to eliminate it, the doctor must work comprehensively and, first of all, the volume of the middle third of the face must be restored. Read the article on how to get rid of the nasolabial fold.
Nasolabial fold – is the loss of volume of the temporomygomatic bone. From the age of 27, a gradual drying of the bones of the facial skull begins to occur, their volume decreases. As a consequence – the ligamentous apparatus is redistributed, which leads to sagging of the soft tissues of the face and is displaced towards the center and down. As a result, the oval of the face becomes fuzzy, and a nasolabial fold forms around the lips and nose. In order for the cheeks to return to their place, and the crease disappears, first of all, it is necessary to replenish the volume of the temporo-zygomatic region.
Due to the loss of volume in the cheekbones, in addition to the nasolabial folds, bags under the eyes also appear. Around the eyeball is the circular muscle of the face, the fibers of which are woven into the fibers of the muscles of the cheek. The impact of gravitational forces forces the soft tissues of the face to go down, and they, in turn, pull the lower portion of the circular muscle of the eye, and then the septum, behind which is the subcutaneous fat. Coming out, the latter forms a hernia of the lower eyelids.
It should be taken into account that due to the restoration of the zygomatic zone at a young age, it is possible to avoid the formation of hernias of the lower eyelids.
How to get rid of nasolabial folds: stages of facial restoration
Face restoration should be done in stages only. First you need to reduce the tone of facial muscles, and then achieve restoration of lost or genetically missing volumes in the temporo-zygomatic region. The final stage – lifting.
Step #1. Botulinum Toxin
At the first stage of the transformation, the hypertonicity of the mimic muscles is removed, because if the muscle is in motion, it will remove the injected fillers and all efforts will be useless. Depending on the patient's face, the doctor may recommend injections in certain areas – most often it is between the eyebrows, eyes and forehead. After two weeks, a correction may be required. For this purpose, photographs are taken before and after and charmingly from three angles: full-face profile, angle 45°.
Step #2. Recovery of volumes
It is important to consider that it is impossible to get perfect cheekbones in one session. Thus, the duration of adhesion of fillers to the bone and surrounding tissues – at least 2 weeks, while rehabilitation is completed only by day 21. In this regard, the results will begin to appear only after three weeks, after which a doctor's examination and, if necessary, correction will be required.
In total, the stage of volumetric modeling lasts 2-3 months, it is during this time that the main work is carried out:
- the middle third of the face increases;
- face acquires a beautiful V-line – narrows towards the chin and widens towards the temples.
The effect of volumetric modeling lasts 1-1.5 years. If all the procedures have been correctly performed, by the end of this stage it is possible to completely get rid of the nasolabial fold.
Lipolitics. Due to the accumulation of a large amount of subcutaneous fat, the lower part of the face becomes heavy. With the use of lipolytics, the volume of subcutaneous fat in the area of the jowls is eliminated.
Step #3. Lifting
If the use of the previous methods is not enough to make the lower part of the face perfect, they resort to correction with threads. Such a lift gives quite good results, but only at its stage. In case of insufficient amount of volume in the temporo-zygomatic region, the threads will simply have nothing to attach to.
Like fillers, threads can also be corrected after non-specific inflammation, which lasts 3 weeks. Unfortunately, such a procedure is very traumatic, in this regard, the patient must have a margin of time to recover.
Result: facial rejuvenation for at least 2 years. All these procedures help not only to get rid of the nasolabial fold and other signs of aging, but also to prevent the appearance of new ones by recreating volumes.
