Abstract

In this retrospective study, a brief description of the folds located lateral to the lips’ commissurae and their anatomy is followed by a method to improve or eliminate them with local procedures. These folds, referred to as paralabial folds, can be treated by either limited resection or liposuction. The method described in this report deals directly with these folds without resorting to extensive facial undermining or fasciomuscular traction. The results are natural and very satisfactory to both the patient and the surgeon. The scars blend nicely with the nasolabial lines.
