Rejuvenation of the nasolabial complex with inverted triangular-shaped SMAS grafts.

Introduction: One of the most challenging aspects of facial aesthetic surgery is rejuvenating the nasolabial complex. Unfortunately, the numerous existing techniques for this purpose have shown limited results due to factors such as long-term unpredictability, modest levels of improvement, and failure to address all of the anatomic/biomechanical alterations simultaneously. In this paper we present our experience with the use of inverted triangular SMAS grafts to rejuvenate the nasolabial complex, analyzing important aspects of surgical technique, indications, and outcomes.
