Thread: Crease from nose to lip

Hi

Here?s a fun term and a question. The wrinkle that links the edge of a nose to the corner of lips is called a *nasolabial fold*. Mine isn?t pronounced or unusual but I can?t seem to get SR position right. Especially in my left (non dominant) hand approach.

and Mr Chimensch has beautifully taught skin.

A) he doesn?t heat his face, but he must have, right?
B) he doesn?t have much of a fold and plows right through those spots fluidly.

I keep cutting or poking myself in that spot maneuvering to hold my generally loose skin taught.

Merry Christmas and Chanukah and whatever you celebrate? it?s been awhile

I stretch the skin with my tongue or puff it out with air in my mouth. First pass WTG, then ATG and Cross Grain if necessary.

I just push the skin north of there up and it flattens that fold nicely.

Ok. In retrospect this is all foundational advice

1) tongue filler
2) inflate
3) stretch (always)
I tried the tongue and it wasn?t really stable. Maybe I?m still skittish. Inflating worked nicely. I can?t seem to stretch that but I?ll keep trying.
