/ Understanding the condition
Nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth. They can deepen with facial movement, volume changes and reduced skin support.
Everyday expressions crease the skin in the same places. Over time, these temporary lines can remain visible even when the face is at rest.
As skin ages, it becomes less resilient and holds less moisture. Fine lines deepen more easily when collagen and elastin levels decline.
Sun exposure speeds up visible skin ageing by damaging collagen. Smoking, stress and dehydration can further accentuate lines and make the skin look less smooth.
/ Possible surgical solutions
The right procedure depends on the concern itself, the surrounding anatomy and your goals. That decision is made during consultation.

A SMAS facelift lifts and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system beneath the skin to improve the lower face and jawline. By treating deeper support rather than pulling on skin alone, it can create a more durable and natural-looking correction of facial laxity.
