Nasolabial Fold Lift

Nasolabial folds—commonly called smile lines—are natural creases that deepen with age, often creating a tired or heavy appearance around the mouth. This gallery of nasolabial fold lift before and after photos highlights the subtle yet meaningful results Dr. Thomas Loeb helps patients achieve with this targeted facial procedure.

With offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, NY, Dr. Loeb specializes in lifting and smoothing the deep creases that form between the nose and corners of the mouth, restoring a refreshed and more balanced facial contour without changing what makes you look like you.

Sometimes the nasolabial fold is so heavy that even a facelift won't solve it. It's amazing how a direct excision solves the problem, heals so well, and the scar is virtually impossible to see.

An extremely deep set of nasolabial folds was excised directly, leaving a very acceptable scar inside the folds.

What to Expect with a Nasolabial Fold Lift

A nasolabial fold lift is a precise surgical procedure that targets deep-set smile lines without requiring a full facelift. It’s ideal for patients whose primary concern is volume loss and skin laxity around the mid-face—but who aren’t ready for or don’t need more extensive surgery.

When you choose Dr. Loeb, here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation and Facial Evaluation:
    Dr. Loeb will assess your skin quality, tissue depth, and the structure of the folds to determine if a nasolabial fold lift—or a combination of treatments—will best meet your goals.
  • Customized Surgical Plan:
    This lift typically involves a small incision placed within the natural crease of the fold. Excess tissue is removed or repositioned, allowing the skin to be smoothed and lifted subtly without tension.
  • Surgical Setting:
    The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia with sedation in an accredited surgical facility in New York City, and takes less than an hour in most cases. Patients go home the same day.
  • Recovery Processes:
    Most individuals can expect a short downtime. Mild swelling or bruising near the fold is normal and typically resolves within one week. Dr. Loeb provides a detailed recovery plan, and more information about the nasolabial fold lift recovery process is available to help you prepare.

During your consultation, you’ll also be able to ask questions and discuss pricing and treatment options tailored to your specific anatomy and goals.

Live Better with a Natural, Refreshed Look

Nasolabial folds can deepen due to aging, weight changes, sun exposure, or genetics—but you don’t have to live with lines that make you look older than you feel. A nasolabial fold lift offers a focused, effective solution with results that enhance—not erase—your natural beauty.

Dr. Thomas Loeb has over 30 years of experience as a board certified plastic surgeon and is known for his meticulous technique and patient-first care.
