Autologous fat grafting for nasolabial folds involves harvesting excess healthy fat from other body areas. Purified fat cells are then used as filler material to augment depressed areas around the lips, thereby reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds.
Nasolabial Folds Manifestation: Nasolabial folds primarily result from the circular structure of the muscles around the lips. When these muscles contract, they pull inward toward the lips. Meanwhile, the muscles on the cheeks contract by lifting outward toward the sides of the face. These opposing forces create a convergence point at the nasolabial fold, forming the groove known as the nasolabial fold.Extraction Method: Traditional fat grafting uses syringes for direct extraction, resulting in low fat purification rates and poor fat cell survival. New-generation fat grafting employs a fully sealed, sterile, low-contamination process. Utilizing low-speed centrifugal separation technology, it removes excess water and oils from the fat, significantly improving fat survival rates while minimizing wound size.
Injection Method:
Traditional fat grafting uses standard syringes for direct injection, with volume determined solely by the physician's experience. The new generation employs spiral syringes with precise graduations for metered injection, yielding superior results.When addressing nasolabial folds, the fat is harvested from and reused on the patient's own body, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. This technique elevates superficial depressions to eliminate nasolabial folds, treats fine wrinkles, enhances thin lips to fuller lips, and restores subcutaneous fat volume in areas like the hands. Consequently, the postoperative results are highly favorable.
