| | Abstract | Correction of the nasolabial fold has been the challenge constantly faced by the plastic surgeon since the start of attempts at facial rejuvenation. In this paper we intend to show observations which were made in a quite different method of approach to the correction of this challenging anatomic detail. It consists of taking the subcutaneous tissue which forms the nasolabial fold, underneath the same fold, following the law of gravity, without touching or dissecting the superficial aponeurotic muscular system (SMAS) and without using any other artifice which could make it difficult to observe this different procedure. The technique was used on 15 patients who requested facial rhytidectomy. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
