We report the case of a 5-month-old infant with a rapidly growing mass on the right nasolabial fold; to our knowledge, this is the youngest infant diagnosed with nodular fasciitis in the literature. Based on the anatomic location, this was a subcutaneous type of nodular fasciitis and it had a mixed cellular and fibrous histologic composition, which is rare in infancy. Here we present periodic ultrasonographic images and MR images, as well as a detailed comparison of the pathologic and radiologic findings.

Face-lift operations have been performed to correct the stigma of aging of the lower face, and its techniques have been modified to obtain more favorable results. However, the lack of significant improvements in the appearance of nasolabial folds has been a problem in face-lift procedures, requiring surgeons to perform ancillary procedures such as fat strip, dermofat, and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) grafting to address the issue. In this report, we describe a subcision technique using a wire scalpel or a thread as an ancillary procedure to a face-lift operation to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. The procedure is simple, safe, easy, and effective with minimal complications.

One of the prominent signs of aging in the midface is deepening and lengthening of the nasolabial folds, which makes people look old and aesthetically unpleasing. There have been many treatment modalities to manage prominent nasolabial folds, but there is no single most effective one yet, because every method has its own efficacy and limitations. In order to select the optimal method to meet the desire of patient, several factors such as the age of the patient, his or her aesthetic needs, other aging stigmata, downtime and even economic status should be considered. In this article, treatment modalities are classified into three categories according to the extent of their invasiveness: minimally invasive, moderately invasive, and most invasive techniques. The purpose of this article is to review various methods currently used to manage prominent nasolabial folds, to describe the anatomic structures relevant to the fold formation and to help surgeons select the appropriate method for prominent folds.

The performance of facial cutaneous reconstructive surgery requires understanding and application of many important principles. Facial surgical defects can be repaired by simple primary suture, secondary intention healing, skin graft or by cutaneous flap. Tissue reservoirs, mechanisms and effects of tissue movement, and favorable incision placement should be considered when planning a local flap repair for surgical defects. Surgical techniques that maximize the aesthetic and functional outcome should be conducted. Management of surgical defects of the nose is often challenging. Maintenance of an aesthetically and functionally normal nose requires careful preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique. One of the challenges in nasal reconstruction is the lack of excess skin within the nasal cosmetic unit. We reconstructed the defect of the nasolabial fold and nose with simple primary suture and modified transposition flap and achieved a good cosmetic result.

BACKGROUND: We conducted this clinical study to compare the efficacy and safety between Neuramis Deep and Restylane in the correction of nasolabial folds. METHODS: In this phase III, randomized, multi-center, double-masked, matched-pairs, active-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01585220), we evaluated a total of 67 subjects (n=67). All the subjects underwent Neuramis Deep treatment on one side and Restylane on the contralateral side of the bilateral nasolabial folds at a ratio of 1:1. To compare the efficacy of Neuramis Deep and Restylane, we evaluated the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale scores and those of the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale. In addition, we compared the safety of Neuramis Deep and Restylane based on adverse events, physical examination, and clinical laboratory tests. RESULTS: Neuramis Deep was not inferior in improving the nasolabial folds as compared with Restylane. In addition, there was no significant difference in the efficacy between Neuramis Deep and Restylane. There were no significant differences in safety parameters between Neuramis Deep and Restylane. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, our results indicate that Neuramis Deep may be a safe, effective material for improving the nasolabial folds. However, further studies are warranted to compare the tolerability of Neuramis Deep and Restylane based on histopathologic findings.

Many surgical methods have been tried to correct deep nasolabial fold but it is still regarded as a stigma of aging process which is hard to correct. In recent years, less invasive, simpler and less expensive surgical methods are preferred by patients, so autologous fat graft is regaining attention of many plastic surgeons. Thanks to many surgeon's effort to reduce the reabsorption and to increase the take rate of grafted fat tissue, autologous fat injection has been used successfully in soft tissue facial contouring and there were also trials to apply this method for the correction of deep nasolabial fold. Using author's counter-compression fat injection technique, the author performed autologous fat injection on 20 patients with deep or prominent nasolabial fold from October 2002 to October 2003. The author thoroughly obeyed the standard protocol to reduce the reabsorption and to increase the take rate of grafted fat tissue. The remaining fat after injection were kept under -20degrees C for 9 months and were used for the repeated injection in 2 to 3 months after first injection to improve outcome in overly-reabsorbed or inadequate 13 cases. All patients were satisfied with the outcome, though 3 of them had minor complications (erythmatous stip of skin: 2 cases, firm nodule of skin: 1 case) which wlould be resolved through conservative management. In conclusion autologous fat injection technique is simple and effective for correcting deep nasolabial fold, if we are competent to perform proper injection into precise anatomic position, stick to the measures to reduce the reabsorption and to increase the tak rate of grafted fat tissue, and know how and when to do supplementary repeated injection

Macrostomia, also called a transverse or lateral facial cleft, is a relatively rare malformation. Although many surgical procedures have been introduced, and no gold standard has yet been established. Moreover, most papers published in Korea were based on the results of the research conducted on the very limited number of patients, and for this reason its findings do not offer sufficient clinical reliability. We devised a modified commissuroplasty as follows: First, new commissure was placed 1 or 2mm inside when compared with the opposite side so that the commissure may not look longer than usual because of the scar on the side. Second, z-plasty of about 5mm was performed on the nasolabial fold to prevent the displacement of the new commissure on its lower part and avoid a continuation of a scar with the medial flap placed upward. We treated 32 cases of macrostomia from August 1, 1998 to July 1, 2002. We obtained relatively satisfactory clinical results by using this modified commissuroplasty. Based on our experience, we intend to present a clinical analysis and an operation technique of our own derived from the classic commissuroplasty, so that we may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of the patients in the future.
