There is a certain relationship between nasolabial folds and obesity, but it is not entirely caused by obesity. Many factors can cause obvious nasolabial folds. Generally speaking, the types of nasolabial folds can be divided into four types.
1. Muscle type:
It means that when the face is making expressions, various facial muscles work together to cause obvious nasolabial folds. For example, when laughing, not only the laughing muscles are affected, but also the zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, etc. The upper section of nasolabial folds is mainly caused by the muscles of the nose, upper lip and other muscles. People who often sniff and blink their eyes tend to get deeper nasolabial folds. Many nasolabial folds in young people are related to these movements. You can minimize these movements to weaken the nasolabial folds.
2. Concave type
This type is usually caused by high cheekbones, or possibly maxillary protrusions (protruding teeth), which makes it easy to form obvious nasolabial folds. It’s the sunken nasolabial fold.
3. Aging type
As age continues to increase, facial collagen will gradually lose and muscles will relax. The entire mid-face will fall down, and the apple muscles will follow the ones next to it. When fat hangs down, nasolabial folds will become more obvious. This factor is caused by age and cannot be stopped by anyone.
4. Fatty type
This type of nasolabial folds is caused by excess facial fat. This type of nasolabial folds may be related to a person’s fatness or thinness. The more common type, when the lateral cheek hypertrophy is nasolabial fold, means that when the facial expression is in a static state, the dimples on the outside of the nose and around the mouth can be seen, forming a relative depression in contrast with the outside of the nose and around the mouth.
No matter which improvement method is used, the patient needs to go to a regular hospital to effectively improve the nasolabial folds, and cannot be greedy for cheap.
