Is it possible to fix a nasojugal groove?

Question

Hello, I was watching Korean TV about 10 years ago and a plastic surgeon was talking about how to fix nasojugal groove. His idea was instead of filling he takes out fat between nasojugal groove and naso labia fold to make the area even, flat and smooth without any border. What is your opinion? Thank you as always!

It sounds like you are talking about buccal fat pad removal, usually performed through incisions inside the mouth. It is a fairly straight forward procedure, but indications are limited. Seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon in our area. Good luck!

I prefer to fill the areas of depressions often with hyaluronic acid fillers.  Cutting the nasolabial fold out is not the best approach in my opinion.
