Correction of the Naso-Jugal Groove

Abstract

We propose several solutions for improving deep naso-jugal grooves, starting from fat grafting, continuing with the rotation of the adipose palpebral bags themselves, to be used as flaps (Loeb's technique), proceeding with Flowers' implants and ending with the mid face lift. It is a sequential approach, thanks to which one can find the correct treatment for the various cases. Examples will be illustrated of the different procedures involved.
