NASOLABIAL FOLDS
Deepening Smile Lines. Loss of Support. Facial Aging at Rest.
Nasolabial folds—often called smile lines—are the creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. While a natural part of facial anatomy, these lines can deepen over time and create a heavier or aged appearance.
What Causes Nasolabial Folds?
Nasolabial folds develop due to a combination of:
Age-related volume loss in the midface
Repetitive facial movement
Skin laxity and collagen breakdown
Gravity and tissue descent
Genetic facial structure
Loss of structural support in the cheeks
*Because these folds are often a result of volume shift rather than just skin creasing, treatment frequently focuses on restoring support.
How Nasolabial Folds Can Appear:
Common signs include:
Deep creases from nose to mouth
Lines visible even without smiling
