As Dr. Melis Ulger, Istanbul, Kadikoy‘I would like to share with you my modern and holistic approach to this treatment in my clinic in Istanbul, Turkey.
"Why Do "Laugh Lines" Occur and Why Do They Make the Face Look Tired?
Deepening of the nasolabial lines is not a simple sign of aging due to a single cause. It is the result of complex changes in the anatomy of the face over time.
Repetitive Mimic Movements:
Years of laughing, talking and other facial expressions cause the skin in this area to fold continuously. Over time, the collagen and elastin fibers of the skin weaken and these fold marks become permanent.
Volume Loss in the Midface:
This is the main and most important reason. On a young face, the cheekbones and cheeks are full and act as a sling, holding the facial skin up. With age, the fat pads in these areas melt and the bone structure weakens. The cheeks, which lose their supportive tissue, sag downwards with the effect of gravity. This sagging causes a buildup of tissue around the nose and deepening of the nasolabial groove like a shadow.
Decreased Skin Elasticity:
Sun damage and aging lead to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers that provide skin firmness and elasticity. Skin that loses its elasticity becomes more prone to sagging.
Modern Approach: The Problem Is Not Just in the Line, but in the Mid-Face Volume
The modern, artistic approach focuses on the source of the problem: loss of volume in the midface. Kadikoy‘When evaluating a patient's nasolabial lines, I always analyze the cheek and cheekbone area first. In most cases, the first step is to apply a suitable contour to these support points, i.e. the cheeks. dermal fillers uygulaması yaparız. Bu işlem, yanakları nazikçe yukarı kaldırarak (lifting), nazolabial oluğun doğal bir şekilde açılmasını ve yumuşamasını sağlar. Çoğu zaman sadece bu stratejik dokunuş bile, çizgide %50-60’a varan bir iyileşme yaratır. Bu adımdan sonra, eğer hala bir miktar çizgi kalmışsa, o zaman çok daha az miktarda, daha yumuşak bir dolgu ile doğrudan çizginin içine son bir rötuş yapılır. Bu bütünsel yaklaşım, çok daha doğal, etkili ve uzun ömürlü sonuçlar yaratır.

What type of filler is used?
