POINT 02
Nasolabial folds and a protruding mouth together
By restoring volume around the sunken nose area, nasolabial folds improve and the mouth looks tucked in.
POINT 03
A smaller face and youthful look together
By pulling up sagging tissue and filling in volume, you can see a smaller-looking face along with a youthful effect.
Implant method
A custom implant made of a material harmless to the body, such as silicone, Gore-Tex or AlloDerm, is inserted through an incision inside the mouth. The implant is made one-on-one after soft-tissue analysis, placed deep and fully fixed, and can be easily removed if correction is needed.
Anesthesia after design
After confirming the exact location and designing, anesthesia is performed.
Implant insertion
A customized implant is inserted through an incision inside the mouth or nose, fully fixed and then sutured.
After surgery
The volume of the nasolabial area improves after surgery.
Autologous fat method
Fat harvested from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs or buttocks, is injected into the sunken nasolabial area to restore volume. Pure autologous fat is micro-injected, so there is less foreign-body feel, and the harvest site gets a liposuction effect.
Fat harvesting
Fat is harvested from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and other areas.
Extracting pure fat with a centrifuge
Pure fat is extracted from the harvested fat using a centrifuge.
Grafting pure fat
Small amounts are grafted evenly in several layers of the sunken area to improve the volume of the nasolabial area.
Filler method
This method fills the nasolabial area with injections alone and suits cases where the hollow is not severe. MFDS-approved genuine filler is used without an incision, so swelling and scarring are minimal and daily life is possible right after the procedure.
Design
We confirm and design the exact location for the filler injection.
After the procedure
When the right amount of genuine filler is injected, volume fills the sunken nasolabial area and the change can be seen right after the procedure (varies from person to person).
