Portuguese term or phrase: sulco labiogeniano
7.2.2.2 Músculo elevador do lábio superior (ou músculo quadrado do lábio superior)

É dividido em três feixes (músculos): músculo elevador do lábio superior e da asa do nariz, músculo elevador do lábio superior e músculo elevador zigomático menor. Eleva o ângulo da boca, o lábio superior e a asa do nariz e torna mais ampla a narina. Por sua ação, a pele é sulcada numa linha paralela e abaixo da área de sua inserção na pele, formando o sulco labiogeniano.

nasolabial fold
Explanation:
According to Dorland, -genian / -genien refers to the chin. From the pictures cited, this is the crease running down from each side of the nose that ageing women love to hate. The combinations nasogenian-en fold/sulcus and nasobuccal fold/sulcus have a scattered handful of hits, but the only one that hits paydirt is "nasolabial fold," with 48,300 references.

My only hesitation is that the fold in the pictures is farther from the lips and goes straight down to the chin. Mine (!) runs closer to the lips and doesn't extend as far down on the chin. So my doubt would be whether the text is referring to a fold as it is located on a particular inidividual or to the fold as the phenomenon in general.

  -> Thanks, Rachel. Sulcus would be OK, too, though a lot less popular.
