The rich get richer, the poor get poorer

The facial contouring and double jaw surgeries I specialize in involve handling the frame inside the face. The basic framework of the face is shaped to change the shape of the face on the exterior.  For the facial bone surgery I perform to manifest on the outside, the soft tissue covering the frame needs to reflect the change in facial bones. Accordingly, the better extent to which soft tissue reflects, the better the results of surgery. The main constituents of soft tissue consist of the outer skin, subcutaneous fat, and muscles. As we generally see the skin looking from the exterior, I will refer to soft tissue as skin from hereon. The results of facial bone surgery reflect well if skin meets two conditions.    First, it must be thin . More accurately, thin subcutaneous fat. If this is thick, even if bone surgery changes the frame, less degree of change is reflected on the outside. If I were to compare this with a sculpture, it would be as though a thick winter blanket ...

Beauty hidden within all along

Image
I am a plastic surgeon. There are quite diverse areas in the field of plastic surgery. Among these, I mainly specialize in surgery of facial bones. Facial bone surgery can be divided broadly into two categories. One being the outer facial line, in other words, facial contouring surgery which changes the contour, and the other being double jaw (jaw revision) surgery which changes the placement of the upper and lower jaw including the teeth. The original facial bones are the components used in either surgery. In other words, the facial bone surgeries I perform basically do not involve using artificial implants.    For facial bone surgery, the original facial bones are ideally relocated or trimmed by partially cutting and shaving. What’s amusing is that amazing beauty can be created just by operating on the original facial bones without any artificial implants. It’s moments that I see beauty unveiling little by little before my eyes as I’m performing surgery that bring me great j...

Natural Beauty

  “I only want slight surgery so it looks natural!” “I want the most surgery possible so it looks obvious!” These are the comments I hear most when consulting outpatients regarding plastic surgery or when consulting just before surgery.   Most people basically think that being ‘natural’ involves changing a little, and ‘obvious’ means changing considerably.   But ‘natural’ doesn’t actually mean changing a little, it means you can’t tell surgery was performed and the change isn’t awkward looking. You can still end up looking natural even after a substantial amount of surgery. It will look natural even if you’ve transformed a lot if the changes aren’t awkward and it still seems like you were originally born that way.   On the other hand, ‘obvious’ means that you can tell surgery was done. Regardless of the amount of change, it will look like you had work done if you end up looking awkward and it doesn’t seem like you were naturally born like that way. It ...

Faceline's Eye revision

 Faceline's Eye revision  Hello, This is Faceline clinic Korea The image may vary depending on the human eye. The eye shape is important because you can judge a person's image with your eyes.  If you've had double eyelid surgery once and you're not satisfied with the line, and you're thinking about the revision, you'll find a hospital famous for double eyelid revision. Before you decide on a hospital for double eyelid, I have prepared some considerations.  Four symptoms that you're concerned about revision 1.The double eyelid line is too thin (possibly too low to hold the line) Leave the existing line and resize the line above the line to adjust the double eyelid size.  2.The double eyelid line is weak or loose (often the fixing point is weak or the surrounding connective tissue is not removed) Depending on the cause of the release, it is firmly fixed so that the eyelid surgery is not performed again or the eyes are not fixed again.  3.The double eyelid lin...

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 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...

Plastic Surgery Recommendations by Plastic Surgeons

Image
I received a certificate as a plastic surgeon in the spring of 2000, the beginning of the 21st century, and my career as a specialist has been over 20 years and has been in business for almost a similar period of time and has consulted countless people. The most frequently asked question is where to fix. They want to know what plastic surgery they need on their faces. ​It's a very easy question, but the answer contains not only the medical knowledge of the doctor who answers, but also the values and the way of life. It is very mechanical to tell which surgery will be most effective based on the various aesthetic standards in the plastic surgery textbook. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be able to answer faster if it knows the size and the ratio. ​However, the ideal answer can be given only when the person who asked the question is considered to have the most desired and current lifestyle, time and economic leisure. It would be quite rude if a doctor keeps recommending surgery on ...

The Era of Covid-19! How is plastic surgery changing?

The Coronavirus the epidemic, which has recently been downgraded to the second stage of social distance, is expected to continue until the end of next year as it has yet to solve the problem. The development of treatments and vaccines continues to slow down, contrary to vague expectations that they will get better in about six months at first. Under these circumstances, masks are considered the most effective precaution for us, and in our case, most people wear them in public places. Most of the photos posted on social media are wearing masks. Naturally, people's interest in their appearance is also focused on the eyes, forehead and skin that are seen when they wear masks. In fact, it is felt that plastic surgery counseling for eyes, forehead, and skin is increasing by more than 30 percent compared to counseling for the nose, mouth, and chin. This is because people wears a mask all day long and continues to wear a mask at school or at work, even during personal meetings. When weari...
