Why are Nasolabial folds so confusing

[svarddre]

They’re probably THE most confusing thing in all of human anatomy

I used to think they were caused by a recessed or flat midface until I met my coworker, her maxilla and zygos are very developed but she still has pretty deep folds

Shes very thin too

Facelift or death if you have NL folds

 

[why not me?]

its about collegen and fat distribution too

all old people have folds but are they all recessed

It’s because there are multiple different caauses for NF

Sorta like how 2 + 2 = 4 but 3 + 1 = 4 too

NF can be due to 1) aging 2) weak zygos 3) weak mandible 4) weak maxilla

Also combinations of the above.

Any soft tissue NF falls under one of these categories.

For example, low placed malar fat pads cause NF but the placement of the malar fat pads is due to weak cheekbones

If you’re old meaning above 40, the best way to fix NFs is a facelift cause they are caused by aging.

Otherwise you need to fix the bone issues BUT if you have a weak maxilla or a weak zygo region, you will almost certainly have to augment the soft tissues as well via fat grafting

so what ur saying is even tho my maxilla is pretty good, because my zygos are just regular that's why i have very faint nfs? with that being said any advice on how to fix them? like i said, it's just extremely small nfs, but still would like to fix it

Yes that could be true. If you want to PM me your pic I'll take a look and give you my opinion, it's hard to give advice for sure without seeing you but if your zygos are the issue (assuming your low bf) then a bit of fat grafting to the paranasal region is what I would do.
