A private letter from a beauty seeker asked: Recently, I looked in the mirror and noticed that I have visible tear trough lines and nasal folds, which are often referred to as “lines”. I think it is because I have been sleeping late for a long time in recent years (basically around 1:00). I would like to ask if there is still a way to calm down the lines by regulating my work and rest? I believe this applicant has tried many methods, such as: balanced diet, regular work and rest, moderate exercise and so on. In short, it is you who should maintain a healthy lifestyle. Does this really work? Regular fitness and good lifestyle habits will indeed make the skin tighter, and this change may also have an improvement effect on tear troughs and lines. But aging is irreversible, and to return to its original appearance, you may still need to seek the following means. The following is a general introduction to the causes and correction methods of nasolabial folds and tear troughs, which are signs of human aging: I. Deepening factors and correction methods of nasolabial folds (decrescendo lines) The nasolabial folds (decrescendo lines) are a shallow furrow on both sides of the nose to the outer corner of the mouth. Therefore, the nasolabial folds are also known as a sign of aging of the midface. Factors that deepen the nasolabial folds (decrescendo): 1. The influence of repeated movements of zygomaticus major and zygomaticus minor muscles. 2.The effect of soft tissue atrophy. 3.The effect of skin aging. Correction of nasolabial folds (decree lines): The formation of nasolabial folds starts from the age of 20s, and generally forms mild to moderate nasolabial folds at the age of 30-40, and then eventually becomes severe nasolabial folds with age. The depth of nasolabial folds varies from person to person, and so do the associated factors and treatment methods. 1.Moderate crease nasolabial folds (caused by the sinking of the cheek fat pad at resting state) This condition: volume filling is needed to improve, and autologous fat and hyaluronic acid can be used as injectable soft tissue fillers. 2.Severe nasolabial folds (tissue atrophy and accompanying sagging) This situation: simple filling will not be able to obtain satisfactory results, and must be combined with the lifting of the jaw and face, which may require the help of surgical procedures, such as: small incision wrinkle removal, facial five-layer lift, large facelift surgery, etc. Second, the causes of tear trough and correction methods Tear trough is a half-moon shaped concave groove against the nasal side of the lower edge of the inner edge of the eye bag that appears from the inner corner of the eye? It is usually not obvious when you are young, but as you grow older, the subcutaneous fat will gradually shrink, the skin will age, become thinner, and sag due to reduced elasticity, and the tear trough on the inner side of the lower eyelid will become obvious. Tear trough correction methods: Tear trough cannot be improved by face lift, buried thread, Botox or even skin grinding, etc. Injectable fillers are the most effective way, commonly used autologous fat and hyaluronic acid. Which of the two is better? There is no perfect material, both have their own characteristics, it’s up to you to weigh them. Hyaluronic acid: convenient and fast, very little pain and trauma, enough to do at any time, but the effect of hyaluronic acid is temporary and will be completely absorbed, so it needs to be injected regularly and repeatedly, which is more costly. Autologous fat: there exists a 20-80% absorption rate, and the fat that is not absorbed will survive. Doctors with different experience can usually achieve long-lasting results after 1~3 times, and the cost is lower compared to hyaluronic acid. In addition, it should be noted that: some candidates have both eye bags and tear trough (tear trough will make eye bags more obvious), in this case, when doing eye bag surgery, part of the fat from eye bags will be moved to the tear trough to fill in the sunken area, so that you can kill two birds with one stone.
