No. 6 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- The gap between the rich and the poor

-

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 cover a thick winter blanket over it. Basically, the absence of facial flesh is a good target for bone surgery.

Second, it has to be elastic. Bone surgery is a surgery that reduces the volume of facial bones. If your skin is not elastic, you can't handle this reduced volume and you can't keep up with it. In other words, suppose when you wrap things or food in plastic wrap and you can't pull well, so you get wrinkles. If you pull it tight and wrap it well, you can see things and food much better inside. It's usually a case where your skin is very elastic. It's better to have a slightly stiff skin than a soft one. The skin looks clean without blemishes and looks good at first glance but it is prone to stretch out after bone surgery. This is why older skin becomes less suitable for bone surgery because older skin becomes less elastic. The elasticity of the natural skin which is combined with changes in age and care is important.

In conclusion, a thin skin and a good elasticity are good for bone surgery. But if you think about it, it's more likely to have a good pre-op skin condition than post-op condition otherwise. Originally, pretty cases mean that surgery works better, but unfortunately, there is a gap between rich and poor cases in plastic surgery.
Fortunately, various procedures are being developed to make skin thinner and more elastic to improve this unfortunate situation (The gap between the rich and the poor) and produce some results. It is one of the most active research and new attempts at this point these days. I will continue to make efforts to improve this gap.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes. This is why laser treatments are popular these days, which can solve skin problems relatively quickly and easily. In fact, more and more inquiries are being made to improve skin and aging problems with laser procedures ahead of the holiday season in early October, which is followed by a series of Chuseok and alternative holidays. The most representative procedure is lifting laser. Lifting laser is a direct examination of high-intensity focused ultrasonography (HIFU) to the peritoneal layer in line with current skin condition, soft tissue and degree o...

Director Lee Jin-soo's Essay 41 - The Secret of Beautiful Profile Unfamiliar to the General Public (feat: Height Difference of Lips)

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...
