No.13 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Undergoing plastic surgery is an altruistic behavior.

Image
It's easy to think of plastic surgery as a selfish act, since it improves your appearance. In fact, plastic surgery is strictly for your own satisfaction. I see the beginning of the surgery as dissatisfaction with your appearance. It is the basis of plastic surgery to correct and change the part you are dissatisfied with. Plastic surgery is extremely personal thing. People feel good when they see something beautiful. This is the essence of beauty. Reacting to beauty is innate, not by learning. Babies respond to beauty too. If you change your unsatisfactory appearance to a satisfactory level with plastic surgery, you will eventually become beautiful. When you become beautiful, you are giving the good impression to people around you whether it is intentional or not intentional. So, can't you say plastic surgery is altruistic? Of course, I'm sure some of you would say this is a plastic surgeon's eccentricity, but it's clear that plastic surgery has

Charles Darwin said in his 1872 book, <Emotions of Man and Animals>, primates have expressions. It also said that facial muscles express their condition and their faces change depending on their state of mind. I think that the psychological state of mind appears on the face, and it's not necessarily seen in Charles Darwin's book, but it's something that anyone can see in real life. As I specialize in plastic surgery, I often compare before and after pictures of plastic surgery. Among other things, I see a picture of facial contouring and double jaw surgery that I usually do. What's interesting is that facial contouring and double jaw surgery has changed the facial shape,  but I feel different about eyes, nose, and mouth. In particular, the eyes are often very different.  When you have facial contouring and double jaw surgery, the volume of the outline of your face decreases, making your eyes,nose and mouth to be emphasized.  The interesting thing I’ve f

“ It ain’t over till it’s over” This is what Yogi Berra, the legendary catcher for the New York Yankees, said. As a baseball player said this, it can be interpreted as meaning that the winning or losing game will not be known until the game is over. It gives us the meaning that even if you're losing 2 out in the bottom of the ninth, you can turn the game upside down before the final out, so don't give up until the end and do your best. "It's not over until the end of the season," Yogi Berra told a reporter when the New York Mets were at the bottom of the group, trailing the Chicago Cubs by 9.5 games in 1973, after retiring from the New York Yankees. What's really great is that after this interview, after this season, he eventually beat the Chicago Cubs to win the East Division of the National League. Everyone can say it easily, but I think it's really hard and great to make it real. If I do surgery every time, of course there

No.10 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- The natural beauty

Image
"I want to be changed naturally" "I want to be changed as much as I can" That's what I hear a lot when I'm right before the surgery. I guess many people think that 'being natural' is to change slightly, and 'being obvious' is a lot of change. But it's a misconception. You can achieve natural look with a lot of change. The word 'natural' doesn't mean changing a little, but it means that the change is not awkward or doesn't come with a fixed mark. On the contrary, 'Being obvious' is with a fixed mark. Even if you change it a little bit, it doesn't look like it was the original shape and it's a sign that's been altered. It's called the "Plastic Monster" in Korean , which means a person who has a lot of plastic surgeries on one's face. What I'm looking for is natural beauty, and natural beauty is needed as much as possible for optimum beauty. But it's important that the

No. 9 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Please cut it all under the nerve line!

Image
Facial contouring is a surgery that changes facial shape by trimming the bones of the face. In order for facial bones to be trimmed and changed, the cartilage outside the bone (skin, fat, muscle, etc.) must respond. If you want to change your face, the cartilage must react, and vice versa, the maximum amount that the cartilage responds to is the maximum amount of effect If you cut the bone as much as you can, you'll think your face will change to the fullest, but it's not. If the cartilage responds, cutting the bone doesn't fully reflect the shape of the bone and creating the remaining cartilage, it creates a stretched shape. During the consultation, people ask, "Do I have a high nerve line?" In the lower jaw bone, there's a hypnotic nerve called the mandibular nerve and the nerves that are responsible for the sensation of the lower lip, and if you take an X-ray of your face, it goes from the middle to the lower jaw bone, and the height of yo

No. 8 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Does life change when you change your face?

When you see an object, you feel it in its visual image. This is called an impression. Of course there are impressions when you look at people. When plastic surgery changes your face, it makes a different impression on everyone who treats you. Different impressions appear in different reactions, and the sum of those different reactions changes the life. It's easy to predict that plastic surgery will change one's life if your impression is changed well and make a good impression on others. I've done a lot of plastic surgery for the cases in TV series 'Let Me in'. In fact, I've appeared in a variety of makeover programs other than Let Me in, but since it   has a high profile, so let me give you an example of Let Me in. Let Me in is a program that selects people with difficult situations due to poor appearance and improves their appearance through plastic surgery. If you've ever seen this program, you've probably found that it's amazing how much

There's someone you need to play orchestra music. He is the conductor who increases the perfection of the music by harmonizing the music of each part. No matter how well you play each part, it can't be good music if any part in the music is in discord. So when we talk about orchestras, the first person mentioned is the conductor. And the ability of a conductor is a very important factor that determines the level of orchestra music. Even in a charming and beautiful face, harmony is the most important factor. Therefore, people who are considering plastic surgery must pay attention to this harmony. Pay attention not only to the areas you are considering, but to different areas as well. To do that, you have to look at the whole face in a comprehensive way and evaluate the extent and extent of deviations from the overall harmony. Afterwards, you must set a large boundary for each area of change, and then make a detailed surgical plan for the desired area and perform the su

I specialize in double jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery, which deals with the skeleton inside the face. I change the shape of the face by trimming the underlying bone in the face. To make the result to be exposed to the outside, the cartilage covering the bone must reflect the changes in the face bone. Therefore, the better the degree of reflection of the cartilage, the better results of facial bone surgery are. Here, the cartilage is the tissue on the bone, and the skin, the subcutaneous fat, the muscles so on are the main components. We usually see skin when we look outside, so from now on; I will the cartilage as "skin". There are two conditions for skin that reflect the results of face bone surgery. The first is to be thin. It's actually a thin layer of the skin, and if it's thick enough, it's less likely to be reflected on the outside when bone surgery is done. If you compare it to a piece, it's a delicate and cool sculpture. You c

No. 5 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo -The face you see every day is not your real face.

Mirror image: The image of an object reflected in the mirror. It is an inverted image of the actual shape to the left and right. The face you see most of your daily lives is not your own. Because we usually look at our face in the mirror. The mirror doesn't show the real thing as it is, but it's actually reversing from the real thing. This is called a mirror image. Then there's a moment when you're seeing with your real face. It's time when you look at the picture. Have you ever seen your face look strange when you look at your pictures? The reason is that you usually look at your face in a mirror, so your face that you are familiar with is actually a mirror that has reversed your face to the left and right sides. Theoretically, objects that are completely symmetrical to the left and right are the same as real and mirror images. The more symmetrical the face is, the similar to the face in the mirror. Conversely, the more asymmetrical the face is, th

Humans have two eyes. If you look at things with your eyes, you can see the three-dimensional vision of objects. What we see with our eyes in real life is three-dimensional. But if you take a picture of them, or if you look at them on a regular TV or monitor, you see a two-dimensional image in a plane. When shooting a movie, two cameras are put side by side, as you can see with your left and right eyes. If you look at this later, you will see the image taken on the left with only the left eye and the image taken on the right with the right eye only. This is a technology that uses polarized lenses. When you watch a 3D movie in a theater, you'll see glasses with polarized lenses. A stereoscopic screen is spotlighted because it gives a more visual and realistic impression than a plane. I still remember the vividness of the ball thrown by a pitcher in a three-dimensional video I saw at a fair when I was a kid. I think it's understandable in the same context that on

No. 3 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- The principle of Beauty scarcity

Is there a level of beauty that requires plastic surgery? There are certain levels of plastic surgery like the cut line of the test. If it doesn't work out, shouldn't it be done? What do you think? I don't think there are set standards for beauty that require surgery. I think plastic surgery is not done by ugly people below certain standards, but by people who want to be prettier, regardless of the current level of beauty. Here are some common questions: "Is it enough that I have to do plastic surgery?" Every time, my answer is the same. "We don't have a fixed level of surgery. Plastic surgery is not a cancer surgery that deals with the problem of dying and living. It's a matter of your choice whether or not to have plastic surgery because it's done entirely on your own needs. No matter how low the level of objective beauty is, you don't have to have plastic surgery if you don't complain about your appearance. On t

No. 2 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo –Gender of Bones 2

Image
We talked about the gender of the bone yesterday. It said that facial features made from facial bones were characterized by gender. Now, let's talk about the gender characteristics of the face bone itself. People seem to think that face bone surgery is very complicated and difficult. Facial contours and double jaw surgery are typical surgeries for facial bone surgery. Most of these surgeries are done through mucous membranes in the mouth, with invisible scar outside. The surgical process is dissection after incision of the mucous membrane of the mouth. The dissection is the removal of the periosteum from the facial bones. The periosteum is a membrane attached to the bone as it wraps around the bone. If you don't know what pericardium is, think about the ribs you eat. When you bite the meat on the ribs, it's like a tough membrane on the ribs. If the meat is tender, the membrane will fall easily from the ribs, and if the meat is tough, the membrane will not fall f

No. 1 Cosmetic essay by Dr.Lee Jin soo – Gender of Bones 1

Image
In general, you can tell a certain gender by looking at people's faces. You don't have to learn anything about this before. Of course, there are men with feminine faces, and women with masculine faces. Why? Since I usually deal with facial contours, I'll talk about facial features of muscular and feminine faces. It would be interesting to read this and look at the faces of people around you from a gender perspective. The first is whether the bones of the face are prevailing or the flesh is prevailing. The harmonious outline of the face means the bones and flesh are well balanced. Among them, the face with the dominant bone gives the impression of a man, and the face with the dominant flesh gives the impression of a woman. So, the less weight on your face and the more the shape of your bones are revealed, the more masculine the face. On the other hand, bones are less visible in woman’s face. Feminine faces generally look younger because of the prevalence of fles

The difference between Upper blepharoplasty and Eyebrow lifts

The difference between Upper blepharoplasty and Eyebrow lifts When you get older, your eyelids are drooping with functional problems, such as blocking your vision or stabbing your eyelashes. So, you will consider a cure for the drooping eyelids. For this case, the upper blepharoplasty and the eyebrow lifting are recommended. But many of you don't know the difference between the two surgeries, or because both surgeries are common for improving drooping eyes, so I'll tell you what the difference is between the upper blepharoplasty and Eyebrow lifting. Upper blepharoplasty Upper blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes fat or muscle around the sagging eye and sutures it. The strength of the muscles that open your eyes is reinforced, so you can improve it with your younger eyes. This is more effective for weak or sunken eyes, and stretched or thick eyes can have a definite effect Eyebrow lifts Eyebrow lifts is performed a lot when you want to mai

What is the effect and process of two jaw surgery?

Image
Normal occlusion requires the lower teeth to be located behind the upper teeth and the lower teeth need to be covered by 2 to 3 mm. However, if the occlusion of the teeth is reversed or the upper and lower teeth are in the same position, it can cause masticatory function, which can have an adverse effect on digestion, and also cause changes in facial shape. The 2 jaw surgery is a procedure that improves the function of the jaw by turning this association into a normal one. Because of the large amount of change in the jaw, external changes are also included in this process, and because of this, it is seen as a cosmetic surgery. Of course, functional improvement is the number one priority, but since it has a lot of impact on image changes, it is important to plan the surgery in addition to the postoperative aesthetic changes. What's the effect of two jaw surgery? The protruded mouth makes the impression look dazed and brusque. So, if you improve your protruding m
