The presented procedure offers an additional means of rejuvenating the nasolabial complex with excellent results in selected patients. When compared to more conservative techniques such as the injection of alloplastic materials, the use of more consistent autogenous tissue offers permanent integration and less reabsorption, without the need for complementary treatments. The presented technique addresses all the fundamental treatment principles and provides an anatomically based, natural, and long-lasting solution for this challenging problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
