Resilient care for pretty face shape (face line)!

Hello, this is Faceline Plastic Surgery clinic.

Today, I would like to tell you about the relationship between pretty face shape and elasticity.

All objects on Earth (people, plants and everything) are affected by gravity according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. You always get the power to pull down!

The same goes for our faces. But even under gravity, the shape around the facial bone remains the same! The reason is that the skin has its own elasticity.

What's visible is that even if it's not clearly stretched, the gravity on the skin continues to affect it!

In fact, in 2008, Yi So-yeon, the first Korean astronaut, and a team of researchers conducted a physical change experiment at the space station 385 kilometers from the ground.

It was to take a picture of the face with special filming equipment and see what changes are taking place.

In space, gravity became extremely small, and four days after we got to the space station, there was a strange change.

The face becomes thinner, wrinkles are reduced on the forehead and glabella and when the forehead is raised, the nose became short and high.

As the gravity of the skin disappears, the skin on the jawline rises and becomes thinner and the skin on the forehead and nose, front cheeks comes forward and becomes a three-dimensional shape.

On the other hand, it's no exaggeration to say that you live with a flat, dull and older-looking face than the normal shape of the skeleton itself because of its gravity!

But the drooping face doesn't mean that all of us can go into space, so we need to find ways to go against gravity.

As mentioned earlier, maintaining or recovering momentum is the way to go! It's a way to maintain or restore elasticity.

There are two important factors in determining the face shape.

One is the basic bone of the face, the other is the soft tissue that covers it (skin, subcutaneous fat, peritoneum, muscle, etc.). The attractive face shape is when these two are harmoniously good.

Among the important elements of facial shape, the aging-related part is the soft tissue. In particular, sagging skin due to lack of elasticity of skin is a key change in aging.

When the skin loses elasticity, it is stretched because it cannot withstand the force of gravity.

In conclusion, restoring momentum is the way to prevent aging and have attractive facial lines!

One of the ways to restore elasticity is to increase the elasticity of the skin itself, and the other is to remove the excess by pulling the loose part.

The way to increase the elasticity of the skin itself is to stimulate the skin, subcutaneous fat and peritoneum with energy to increase elasticity through regeneration. There are high frequency therapy, HIFU using ultrasonic energy, and injection therapy that induces regeneration by injecting skin components.

Each has a different mechanism of action, so depending on the degree of sagging; you can do the appropriate method separately and together.

Thread lifting is also a simple method of pulling the loose part, and face lifting which pulls the loose part in front of the ear and then modifies the remaining part, is also a way to improve sagging.

There are so many different methods of lifting that it is recommended to conduct comprehensive and systematic lifting through close consultation with a plastic surgeon to restore elasticity.

The fundamental face shape can be changed into facial bone surgery such as facial contouring surgery or two jaw surgery.

Facial bone surgery is bone-handling surgery, so you may think it's not very related to skin elasticity, but never. Reducing the bone structure requires the elasticity of the soft tissue that was covered on top of it to cover the reduced amount of bone before it can cause the desired facial changes.

Therefore, after thoroughly understanding and establishing the elasticity of the skin along with changes in bone shape from the planning stage of bone surgery, if skin elasticity is insufficient than the amount of bone surgery required, the final result can be completed by considering how to supplement the elasticity.
