How effective is facial enhancement in removing nasolabial folds

Facial lifting surgery has a certain effect on improving nasolabial folds, but the specific effect varies from person to person. The formation of nasolabial folds is mainly related to factors such as skin sagging, collagen loss, and facial expression muscle activity. Facial lifting surgery can alleviate the depth of nasolabial folds to a certain extent by tightening the sagging skin and subcutaneous tissue. The effect of facial lifting surgery can usually be maintained for a long time, but it is not permanent. Surgical methods include thread cutting, endoscopic lifting, traditional facelift, etc. Different surgical techniques target different skin layers and degrees of laxity. Thread carving has minimal trauma and is suitable for mild relaxation. It can be used to lift the skin with absorbable thread; Endoscopic lifting is suitable for moderate relaxation and deep tissue reduction under concealed incisions; Traditional facelift is aimed at severe sagging, where excess skin is removed and re fixed. Strict postoperative care is necessary to avoid excessive facial expressions and movements in order to maintain the effect.

Some populations may experience unsatisfactory results due to thin skin, scar constitution, or improper postoperative care. For older individuals with poor skin elasticity, simple lifting may not completely eliminate deep wrinkles and may require combined filling or laser treatment. Temporary swelling, bruising, or stiff facial expressions may occur after surgery, usually gradually recovering naturally within 1-3 months. Choosing experienced doctors and suitable surgical procedures is crucial for achieving results.

It is recommended to fully evaluate the skin condition before surgery and communicate with the doctor about the expected results. Pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing after surgery, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and supplement collagen appropriately. Non surgical methods such as radiofrequency and ultrasonic scalpel can also be used as auxiliary maintenance tools. If nasolabial folds are accompanied by severe nasolabial groove depression, the combination of hyaluronic acid filling can be considered to enhance the overall improvement effect.
