Nose to Mouth Lines

What are nose to mouth lines?

Nose to mouth lines (also known as nasolabial folds, laugh lines or smile lines) are the deep creases that run from both sides of the nose, down to the corners of your mouth. Having nasolabial folds is perfectly normal, as they are part of the natural ageing process. However, as we age, the skin in the cheeks begin to loosen, we lose fat in our cheeks, and we lose collagen over time so there is a general loss of volume. This makes the nose to mouth lines appear to be deeper.

What causes nose to mouth lines or nasolabial folds?

Our faces are expressive, so lines exist. However, nose to mouth lines become deeper creases due to several factors. Nasolabial folds can upset the balance of our midface as the lines and shadows that form can age us and distract from our eyes and mouth.

Factors that we can’t necessarily control, that contribute to deepening our nose to mouth lines are the loss of collagen and fat which can make our skin lose its voluminosity and appear saggy. This loosened or skin laxity in the cheeks will inadvertently deepen our creases and add to the overall look of lost volume in our faces.

Facial motions such as smiling, talking and kissing can also contribute to these smile lines. Other factors that make nose to mouth lines and skin folds appear deep/deepen are:

Exposure to environmental pollutants

Smoking

Sun exposure causing free radical damage

Rapid weight loss or weight fluctuation
