Fixation plate and stitch removal after two jaw surgery

Image
It's obvious that Faceline is known for performing two jaw surgeries! Large numbers of patients always ask us the common question. "When can I take out the fixation plates? Is it safe to leave them after taking out the stitches?  Let's talk about the fixation plates, first. The plates are made out of titanium as they fix the moved bones after two jaw surgery. Titanium can be also used to make for artificial bones, so it's safe if not removed. But, if you worry about them showing in the x-ray, you may consider about getting them removed.  When is the best time to remove them? It's usually recommended after 6 months~1 year the surgery. After 1 year isn't recommended as the surrounding soft tissue is difficult to move after they're settled. No more swelling? There will be a bit swelling, but it won't be severe as two jaw surgery. It usually takes about 1 week. Secondly When do I remove stitches? Is it necessary? A double jaw ...

A food that hydrates you in the summer~! Today, the temperature is going up to 30 degrees! On a day like this, you may sweat a lot and your body loses a lot of water.

A habit of ruining facial features

Image
Faces are born naturally, but they often change by acquired habits or accidents. People were pretty and cute when they were young but as they grew older, why did they change? It is important to see if there are any problems with your unconscious habits. What are some habits that ruin your face? 1. The habit of blank expression I'm sure many of you are wondering why the habit of blank expression ruins your face. It doesn't matter how often you do that, but the habit of frequent blank expression reduces facial muscle use, which slows your skin down and promotes aging. 2. Mouth breathing The habit of breathing wit h the mouth not only narrows your nose, but it can also make your face longer and your upper teeth protrude. It is also recommended not to dry the mouth, as this may cause bad breath.  3. The habit of cup your chin in your hand The jaw-dropping habit can affect blood circulation and cause you...

What is Wonder Liposuction of Faceline?

Image
                              What is Wonder Liposuction of Faceline? L iposuction is performed by making small incision of about 3-4 mm in the hidden area and then lipolysis injection is injected to melt the fat. Then, melted fat is extracted out by high pressure.  Wonder Liposuction at Faceline doesn’t simply remove the fat. It remains a small amount while removing the unnecessary body fat on the surgery area to make elastic and slim figure.  By reducing the absolute amount of fat cells, this body sculpting technique at Faceline prevents yo-yo syndrome and effectively removes even the persistent flab to balance the overall body shape. Remember,  Liposuction for size reduction rather than weight loss! When do I need liposuction? If it is hard to maintain body shape due to repeated failure of diet If I have extra flab on a specific area ...

What is Genioplasty?

Image
What is Genioplasty? When we talk about the contours of faces, masculine images are the first to conjure up protruding cheekbones with angular and wide jaw. Sometimes, even though cheekbones are smooth and the jaws are not angular, they look rugged and distant from the sophisticated image. That's because the tip of your chin is a problem. If you look at a smooth and refined image, the chin line should be smooth to the front jaw, but even if the chin line is narrow, it may include a blunt chin tip or a short chin. In this case, genioplasty alone can change the shape of your face. It is a surgery that cuts only the front tip of chin with trimming the shape and length. V-line can be easily made with it. Also, the recovery period is short because the pain can be reduced by operating with minimal incision and the bleeding and swelling is minor. You can leave the hospital on the same day without being hospitalized after surgery. T-osteotomy is a typical m...

The misunderstanding of facial contouring surgery

Image
Facial contouring surgery, it's a misunderstanding that if bones are cut a lot, your face will be small and pretty.     These days, interest in facial bone surgery is growing in order to make a small and lean face. Facial contouring surgery includes a cheek bone reduction, jaw reduction, long-curve jaw reduction, and tip of chin reduction. During a consultation, people tell me "I have a nerve line on my chin, and I want you to cut it all under the nerve line." That’s because people think more the bone is cut, the smaller their face will be. However, the fundamental purpose of facial contouring surgery is to change facial features through the bone surgery, not to reduce the size of a face. However, it is more accurate to assume that some parts of the face can be reduced during surgery, making the outer part of the face or the larger part of the face look better which is included in the process. A facial contouring surgery is a big surgery, so that there...

The beginning of aging such as sagging and wrinkled eyes, you need to choose a procedure that fits the cause.

The beginning of aging such as sagging and wrinkled eyes, you need to choose a procedure that fits the cause. Now that we are looking at the age of 100, anti-aging is no longer just about middle-aged people. These days, they use eye cream from their early 20s and undergo lifting procedures, making efforts to prevent aging. Among them, eyes are the most important factor in determining impressions, and eyes begin aging first because the skin is thinner and more sensitive than other parts. So even before the aging process starts, people pay more attention to eyes. The most representative symptoms of aging of the eyes that come with changes in vision are drooping eyelids, bulging fat under the eyes, and falling eyelids. These symptoms are also aesthetically bad and for people who are in middle-age; surgeries are more therapeutic because blindness of vision caused by eye lashes can bring functional discomfort. When it comes to surgery for middle-age, they often conju...

Correcting the jutting chin, double jaw surgery or orthodontics, which treatments should I choose?

Image
Correcting the jutting chin, double jaw surgery or orthodontics, which treatments should I choose? A face with a short length and a slightly high chin is one of the conditions that has the effect of having a small face and a pretty neckline. On the other hand, jutting chin gives the stubborn impression and makes you look old, but also causes a decrease in self-esteem due to the complex of looks. A jutting chin refers to a facial shape in which the lower jaw has grown excessively. The most representative form is when the lower jaw comes forward and the chin is developed so that the face is flat or concave and has malocclusion. In addition, the angular part of the jaw developed with the jawbone or the gums developed simultaneously. In addition, there's a case when the jaw is relatively normal, but the jaw is protruded which is sometimes seen as a jutting chin in a broad meaning. There are some genetic factors, but there are also a number of acquired factors due to poor ...

Young and healthy skin with regeneration to revive the function of tired skin in hot weather!   Aging is a natural phenomenon that no one can escape. However, regenerating the damaged skin is also necessary to keep skin young and healthy, as prolonged exposure to hot sunlight and strong ultraviolet light causes not only pigmentation but also aging of the skin regardless of age. So it's also a time for more skin rejuvenation inquiries during the summer. Among other things, there is more interest in procedures that can be received simply and quickly with laser or injection therapy.   There are fibroids that have recently been receiving attention for aging and skin regeneration. Fibroids are distributed in the dermis and serve to synthesize collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan that can maintain the elasticity of the dermis. It is said that 80 percent of the ingredients in the dermis are collagen produced by fibroids, and if the function of these fibrous cel...

Faceline's Cell Power Fat graft

Good afternoon! This is Faceline clinic Korea. We've been doing surgeries for eyes and nose the most, but there's a growing number of calls to achieve young looking, such as fat grafting.   Fat grafting has been increasing in recent years, as it is possible to create a three-dimensional and young looking face by filling the flat or sunken area.   Because it is important to inject detailed and appropriate amounts, such as eye and nose surgeries, it is important to establish a correct direction for improvement and surgical planning through a detailed analysis of individuals before the surgery.   Faceline Clinic's cell power fat graft is performed while collecting magnetic cells and injecting fat cells that enhance the cell power through the 5 stages of the procedure for excellent survival rate and saving the three-dimensional sensation and volume of the face.

No. 23. Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- A man who cannot enjoy beauty genuinely

Image
The basic step in facial plastic surgery I specialize in is to know which face shape is a beautiful face shape. The concept of a beautiful face shape should be established so that the problem of the person to be operated can be grasped and the target of face shape to be created can be determined. In fact, beauty is the object of appreciation. A human being instinctively responds to beauty and feels pleasure. It is one of the great pleasures of life that ordinary people enjoy beauty when they see beauty. But I cannot simply enjoy this beauty. When feeling beauty, I have to know why and where beauty is felt. There are obligations to analyze the reason for the beauty as well as to feel the joy of beauty. Especially when the reason is not easily defined, I think of it in depth agonizingly. Of course, it is difficult to express the sense of accomplishment when I find out the reason after such hard work. I enjoy 'K pop star' among the...

No. 22 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo-Face Gold Spoon

Image
It is a pity that the class is determined and cannot be changed as it is born. As you study history, you will see aristocrat, plebeian, servant class, Western aristocrat, commoner, slave class. I would have thought that this kind of system was unreasonable when the class was determined and never changed. The development of society has been made in a way to provide many opportunities to change the class with my own efforts. Our society today does not have a definite class and a class that cannot change forever. However, as capitalism develops, it is determined that the class by capital is born, and the change is becoming very difficult. The expressions that call for the class by this capitalism are the gold spoon, the silver spoon, and the soil spoon. Recently, it is said that the second generation of entertainer is cast in the main role, because it is the halo of the parent rather than the skill. This phenomenon is a big problem of capitalism and it will be a g...
