OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE NASOLABIAL FOLD AFTER ANATOMIC DISSECTION
1. Anatomically, the nasolabial fold represents the border between which of the following?
E. Upper lip elevators and upper lip.
The nasolabial fold (NLF) is a distinct fusion plane that separates the fatty cheek including upper lip elevators from the dense upper lip. These upper lip mimetic muscles insert onto the orbicularis oris at the level of the NLF and are covered by a generous amount of overlying subcutaneous fat. This is in direc t contrast to the upper lip where the subcutaneous tissue is minimal, creating a visually distinct transition between these two regions which manifests as a fold. The upper lip mimetic muscles include zygomaticus major and minor, levator labii superioris, and levator labii superioris alaeque nasi in the more superficial plane, in addition to levator anguli oris and buccinator in a deeper plane. tissue, muscle f ibers branching from these elevating muscles of the upper lip, and striated muscle bundles originating in the fold fascia. The modiolus is a dense, mobile, fibrovascular structureconsisting of termi­nal muscle fibers that either converge toward (aforementioned labial tractors) or diverge away (orbicu­laris oris) from its center, located approximately 1.5 cm lateral to the labial commissure.

THE SMAS AND THE NASOLABIAL FOLD
2. During rhytidectomy, what structure serves as the clinical landmark for attenuation of the superficial muscu-
loaponeurotic system?
C. Zygomaticus major muscle.
The relationship between the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and nasolabial fold (NLF) is both complex and incompletely understood. As the SMAS continues anteriorly, it becomes attenuated at the level of the zygomaticus major muscle, representing a common endpoint for dissection during rhytidectomy. At this level, the SMAS invests the anterior and posterior aspects of the zygomaticus major muscle and is indistinguishable from the muscle's investing fascia on the anterior surface. As the attenuated SMAS approaches the NLF, it divides into a superficial and deep leaflet with no separate extensions present.

3. Activation of lip elevators has which of the following effect on the nasolabial fold?
A. Deepening.
The activation of upper lip elevators results in movement of the nasolabial fold (NLF), an essential compo­nent of the human smile and expression of complex emotion. For all humans, activation of the upper lip elevators causes a deepening or accentuation of the NLF. In addition, fold dynamics facilitate a number of other predictable patterns of facial expression including a comma-shaped crease lateral to the oral commis­sure, a dimple above the modiolus, and a shallow dimple next to the nasal ala in the upper fold. Although dimpling may be accentuated with upper lip elevation, not all people have dimpling; hence, it is viewed as a common anatomic variant.

4. Which of the following plays a role in both elevation and depression of the mouth during facial expression?
D. Buccinator.
Facial expression involves the complex interplay between many facial muscles responsible for upper lip eleva­tion, lower lip depression, and depression of the angle of the mouth (Fig. 43.1a–d). Of note, the upper and lower divisions of the buccinator muscle play a role in perioral elevation and depression, respectively. Levator labii superioris and zygomaticus minor are upper lip elevators, while the mentalis and platysma muscle are lower lip depressors.

DYNAMICS OF THE NASOLABIAL FOLD
5. Which of the following changes is rarely observed during facial aging with regards to the nasolabial fold?
D. Progressive shortening of the upper lip.
Predictable changes involving the midface, specifically as they relate to the nasolabial fold (NLF), are a hall­mark of facial aging and have been well-described. With aging, the NLF deepens as the lateral redundant tissue of the cheek becomes lax and ptotic where no skin muscle attachments are present. In contrast, ante­rior to the fold, extensive muscular attachments aid in providing better support to the upper lip relative to the lateral cheek, causing a more pronounced NLF with age. However, it should be noted that with time, downward descent of the upper lip also causes the NLF to appear both deeper and longer, also contributing to the development of marionette furrows. In addition, loss of midface volume and tissue laxity/descent result in the appearance of an obliquely oriented midcheek furrow. In the lower lip, the mental crease becomes deeper, longer, and downturned forming the labiomental groove.

ASSESSING THE NASOLABIAL FOLD
6. A middle-aged female patient requesting facial rejuvenation presents for evaluation. You note the presence of
visible nasolabial folds at rest that deepen significantly on animation. According to the Nahai classification, this patient would be categorized as which of the following with regards to her nasolabial folds?
C. Grade III.
Clinically, the Nahai classification system categorizes the changes that occur with age at the nasolabial fold (NLF) and ultimately helps to dictate the most appropriate operative intervention for improvement. This sys­tem involves assessment both in repose and with animation. In Grade I, the NLF is visible only with anima­tion. In Grade II, the fold is also visible at rest. As in the patient in the question prompt, Grade III patients have a visible fold at rest that significantly deepens with animation. Grade IV patients are a more severe form of Grade III, with deep folds at rest that worsen on animation. Finally, Grade V patients have ptotic, overhanging folds. Fig. 43.2 illustrates clinical examples for each grade.

MANAGEMENT OF THE NASOLABIAL FOLD
7. A female patient in her late thirties presents for treatment of her nasolabial folds. On examination, her folds
are present at rest but do not significantly deepen on animation (Nahai Grade II). She requests a correction that will give the most long-lasting result that is also most appropriate given the severity of her folds. Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment option?
C. Autologous fat grafting.
Treatment modality for correction of the nasolabial fold (NLF) must be individualized for each patient and is broadly categorized based on the severity of the folds (Fig. 43.3). For patients with mild signs of fold pro­gression (Nahai Grades I–III), surface approaches, which include neurotoxins, injection of filler products, and autologous fat, tend to be the method of choice for fold effacement. In this clinical scenario, the patient is young with only mild deformity, so performing more invasive procedures such as midface lift
Chapter 43&The Nasolabial Fold 303
or direct excision with high scar burden would be inappropriate. Injection of hyaluronic acid fillers is commonly implemented in these cases and would not be unreasonable to offer to this patient. However, compared with autologous fat grafting, the longevity is inferior and therefore not the best choice given this patient's request for a longer-lasting result. Of note, interposition of a dermal fat graft representsa­notherautologous option that may be performed either in isolation or following rhytidectomy procedure once the NLF has been surgically effaced. Acting as a mechanical barrier, the dermal fat graft prevents reattachment of the lip elevators at the prior NLF to the overlying dermis, preventing reformation of the fold. Although effective, complications with this technique include migration and contour irregularities. Injection of silicone is wrought with multiple complications including inflammatory skin reactions, extrusion, and contour irregularities, and therefore should no longer be performed.

MANAGEMENT OF THE NASOLABIAL FOLD
8. During rhytidectomy, improvement of the nasolabial fold requires dissection in which of the following planes
anterior to the zygomaticus major muscle?
A. Subcutaneous tissue.
Surgical correction of the nasolabial folds (NLFs) through rhytidectomy is effective but requires expertise and familiarity with surgical anatomy. As dissection proceeds anteriorly, the superficial
304 Part VII&Facial Surgery
musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) becomes significantly attenuated and envelopes the zygomaticus major muscle. At this point, the attachment of the SMAS to the underlying muscle should be incised and any further dissection carried out in the subcutaneous plane only, freeing the overlying tissue from the underlying SMAS (Fig. 43.4). As a result, the skin over the crease is allowed to move with the rest of the flap, allowing for effacement of the NLF. Of note, the zygomatic branch of the facial nerve is especially vulnerable at the level of the zygomaticus major muscle, so care should be taken to avoid its injury.

SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS AND TREATMENT
9. Following correction of the nasolabial folds with injection of a hyaluronic acid filler, a patient presents 3
weeks later unhappy with the results. On examination, there is an area of prominent and palpable fullness on the right compared with the left. No evidence of erythema, drainage, or open wounds is present. Which of the following is the most appropriate method of treatment?
D. Injection of hylauronidase.
This patient presenting with contour irregularity following injection of hyaluronic acid–based filler will be most appropriately treated with hyaluronidase injection. This enzyme dissolves hyaluronic acid (HA), which would correct the area of fullness that is causing the patient's complaint. Following initial injection, some lumps and bumpsare not uncommon in the first 24 to 48 hours and can be gently massaged for manual correction. However, this conservative management is unlikely to correct a deformity present for multiple weeks. There are no signs of infection in the clinical scenario; therefore, oral antibiotics are not indicated. Although injecting the contralateral side would allow for symmetr y, this would only accentuate the com­plication, which is an overfilled area rather than asymmetry. Some non-HA products used for filler that can­not be dissolved may require excision for removal, including silicone and calcium-based products. However, injection of hyaluronidase is less invasive, better tolerated by patients, and avoids surgical scar.
