1. Introduction of Dr. Nagura

PERSON 01

About Dr. Nagura

First, let me introduce Dr. Nagura, who has over 14 years of experience as a plastic surgeon and has built an impressive track record. Dr. Nagura is a specialist in aesthetic surgery, known for his extensive knowledge and advanced skills. Notably, he has been ranked No. 1 nationwide for seven consecutive years in facial liposuction and thread lifts. He is also highly regarded for his expertise in fat injection and buccal fat removal procedures. Additionally, he has handled numerous complex revision surgeries and has worked with celebrities, making media appearances as well.

Dr. Nagura focuses on providing the most suitable treatments for his patients' needs, aiming to deliver satisfying results with just one procedure. In this article, he will share his professional insights on nasolabial fold treatments.

2.Implants and Gore-Tex

POINT 01

Challenges of Implants and Gore-Tex

Challenges of Implants and Gore-Tex
First, regarding the commonly used treatments for nasolabial folds, such as "implants" and "Gore-Tex," these methods involve using silicone or artificial materials to add volume. However, Dr. Nagura points out that these may not be suitable for nasolabial folds. Particularly in areas like the face, which has a lot of movement, there is a concern that implants and Gore-Tex may shift, leading to higher risks.

In everyday actions such as "eating," "talking," or "sneezing," the materials may shift or move. For those who are concerned about this, treatments using silicone implants may not be the best option. Dr. Nagura clearly explains why he does not recommend treatments using these materials for nasolabial fold treatment.

3.Benefits of Artificial Dermis

POINT 01

Benefits of Artificial Dermis and Its Suitability for Japanese Patients

Benefits of Artificial Dermis and Its Suitability for Japanese Patients
In the treatment of nasolabial folds, using "artificial dermis" offers several significant advantages. Artificial dermis is highly compatible with the body and naturally integrates better than materials like silicone or Gore-Tex. Dr. Nagura highly values the fact that artificial dermis fits the patient's body well and provides long-lasting volume effects.

Artificial dermis integrates with the body's own tissue and can ultimately form a natural volume. This means that it adapts well to facial movements and minimizes the impact of daily activities. Dr. Nagura recommends it especially for Japanese patients, highlighting its suitability for the Japanese body type and its specific benefits in treating nasolabial folds. This approach results in a more natural and sustained enhancement without the risk of displacement, making it a preferred option for achieving a youthful, natural look.

4.Importance of Choosing the Right Treatment Method

POINT 01

The Importance of Choosing the Right Treatment and Tailoring It to the Patient's Wishes

There are various options for nasolabial fold treatment, but choosing the most suitable treatment for the patient is the most important factor. Dr. Nagura offers multiple treatment options and thoroughly explains the advantages and disadvantages of each method, proposing treatments that align with the patient's wishes.

For patients who want to achieve results with a single session or prefer injectable treatments, hyaluronic acid may be considered. However, for those seeking long-term effects, artificial dermis is often chosen. In either case, Dr. Nagura prioritizes understanding the patient's condition and suggesting the best method.
