No.20 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Empty Cheek, Empty Jaw

Image
Do you know what empty bread is? The bread is pretty big, but the inside is empty, so the thickness of the bread itself is very thin. You do not know how this bread is at first, and then you have a big bite of it. You might feel embarrassment because only thin piece of bread is remained in your mouth instead of a big mouthful bread piece. There are people who ask me about surgery for my face type, they are also interested in the size of the face. People generally prefer a small face. One of the major reasons they want to undergo surgery is to reduce the size of the face. If the face is big, is the thickness of the face bone thick as well? Is the size of the face bone proportional to the thickness of the face bone? Based on my many experiences, there is a little connection. However, in this case, it is not as thick as the size of the face bone. In conclusion, the size and thickness of the facial bones are somewhat related but not proportional. Size and thickness are not ...

No.19 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Mazinga Z jaw vs (Taekwon) V line

  Face contouring surgery is a surgery that changes the facial shape by trimming the facial bones. It is developed first among all the face contouring surgeries and it is the operation which is performed the most in the lower jaw (mandible in anatomical term). It is a surgery to trim angled large and wide jaw and turn it into a slim and narrow jaw.   When I trimmed the jaw, I first performed surgery on the mandibular angle area. The angled area from the lower jaw to under the ears is called mandibular angle in anatomical term, and the surgery to trim this is often referred to as 'square jaw surgery' and is a representative of face contouring surgeries.     On the jaw, there is the nerve located in the tip of the chin, which is responsible for sense of the tip of the chin and the lower lip. The location where that nerve comes out is a little bit forward than the middle of the jaw line approximately. So, when the operation is performed on the mandibular angle...

No.18 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Beauty early education

Image
Finding a child's talent early on and developing this talent through appropriate education, so-called early education, is a great weapon for a child's life. Please note that this early education also applies to beauty as well. The most important factor in my face type is the growth of the jaw. Generally speaking, the jaw refers to the bone that occupies the lower lip, but anatomically the jaw means the bone with teeth. In other words, there will be a lower jaw (mandible) with a lower jaw (maxilla) and lower teeth with a position jaw. As a child grows, the other part grows and jaw grows. Because the jawbone contains teeth, problems with the growth of the jawbone are manifested as the problem of engagement of the up and down teeth (occlusion). A normal occlusal relationship refers to a state in which the entire tooth is evenly covered with the lower teeth under the teeth.  On the other hand, a malfunctioning occlusal relationship is called malocclusion. If the growth...

No.17 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- Face zero bezel

Image
Perhaps the most popular product used by modern people is a mobile phone. A new cell phone is coming out one day different. If you have any interest in a cell phone, you might have heard the term "zero bezel." The border around the screen of a mobile phone is called a bezel, and the thinner the screen, the greater the immersion of the screen. The bezel is called the out-of-screen border on TVs and monitors as well as mobile phones, and the bezel is getting thinner like in mobile phones. The development history of a cell phone can be seen as the thinning of this bezel. Today's cell phones often use the term "zero bezel" because they have few bezels. In fact, the bezel is very thin, so it's not really a zero-bezel, but really, the bezel is much thinner. In face type, the higher the percentage of eye and nose in the face is considered as the more beautiful the face is. This is why the purpose of most eye surgery and nose surgery is to make them bigger ...

Faceline’s double eyelids surgery. What is the right double eyelid for me?

Image
Today's topic is double eyelid. Some people want double eyelids that are thin like inner eyelids, and some people want big and opened eyes, so they ask for thick eyelids. In fact, if you're here to talk about double eyelid surgery, the most frequently heard demands are, "Please make me natural double eyelids." And "Please make me double eyelids that fit my eyes." What is a double eyelid line that fits you? If you want double eyelid surgery, you might have thought about this. First of all, let's learn about each line along with the method of double eyelid surgery. Asian people generally have tendons in their skin, so even if they close and open their eyes, they don't have double eyelids that fold. However, Westerners often have double eyelids because the tendons of the eyelids are even tangled to the surface of the eyelids. When they open their eyes, they often have double eyelids because their skin is pulled up together. On the con...

Deviated nose surgery. It's necessary to improve the function of your nose.

Image
Hi. This is FACELINE clinic korea. Even pretty and handsome celebrities rarely have the perfect symmetrical faces. In the meantime, I heard that it is perfectly symmetrical with Kim Tae-hee or Kim Yu-na.  Almost everyone has asymmetrical face. But not all of them think they're going to improve asymmetry. Unless they have a functional problem which is not visible with naked eyes. If it's asymmetrical enough to feel "I have a crooked face" or "I have a crooked nose," especially if you're having trouble with crooked nose, it's better to visit a plastic surgeon that is famous for nose surgery and get accurate diagnosis and improve through nose formation. If your nose is a throbbing nose, there is a high possibility that the nasal septum inside your nose is bent, in addition to the apparent problem. The nasal septum inside the nose is the wall that divides the nose in half. If the wall is tilted to one side or bent in an S shape, it...

No.16 Cosmetic essay by Dr. Lee Jin soo- A stigma of plastic surgery 'face factory'

Image
 You've probably seen "Gangnam Beauty" on the Internet once. It's a satire about the phenomenon that plastic surgery is making you look unorthodox. It was a painting that made me feel responsible for being a plastic surgeon.   The basic principle of beauty is harmony and balance. The reason why the face is not beautiful is because of this harmony and balance. A good plastic surgery is to find out exactly what's not in this harmony and balance in your original face and fix it in a harmonious and balanced way. In the same vein, I emphasized "natural beauty" in my previous article, and said that the obvious and awkward look was never a beautiful one.  Like the cartoon, there are several reasons why all of them become similar faces after plastic surgery. First of all, people are going to have to put on a lot of plastic surgery on their face. Let's take rhinoplasty as an example. The Korean head itself is basically broad from side ...
