How to elongate a short chin?

Image
  Facial proportions and symmetry are essential for optimal facial beauty. Chin augmentation can significantly reshape the facial features and improve the person’s overall look.  Typically, a chin implant is recommended for those people who have short and recessive chin and wish to push it forward. The implant will give more shape to the jawline and balance the facial curve. While women can balance out their facial features, men can get a more masculine look with chin implants. Chin augmentation aka Genioplasty enlarges the undeveloped chin with the biocompatible implant that creates a balanced facial profile. The implant is inserted over your existing chin bone via a small incision made underneath the chin. The silicone implant is positioned in the chin area and secured into the right position.  Then the small stitches are placed on the incisional area. The scarring is minimal since the incision will hide under the chin in a relatively concealed location.   The...

Fraxel laser

Image
  Fraxel laser has gained popularity among celebrities because of its rejuvenating effects. Before we dive into the details of this laser treatment, I would like to say that the name of Fraxel is just a brand name. Other companies have the same fractional laser but with a different name. Fraxel comes from the fractional laser. Fractional laser is recommended for those who wish to improve the skin texture and address such skin problems as fine lines, post-acne scars, injuries, surgical scars, sun damage, stretch marks, and dark skin tone. However, those with sensitive skin and skin issues such as rosacea might want to opt for less aggressive non-ablative laser treatments because fractional laser may cause severe pigmentation. The working principle of the Fraxel laser is based on creating micro-injuries on the treating area. These micro-injuries heal the skin without damaging it, similarly to micro-needling and derma rolling. By healing these injuries generate collagen on the treatin...

Can you fix ears that stick out?

Image
  Protruding eats occur for many people due to genetics and deformity of ear cartilage. Protruding ears don’t affect the hearing, however, they can cause distress related to facial appearance for many people. Especially for adults, it can feel awkward to wear hair up and headbands.  One of the most effective ways to treat protruding ears is a surgical method. It corrects the deformities of external ears by reshaping them and making them appear smaller. The ear correction surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. The surgical method involves the incision on a natural fold just behind the ears. The doctor creates the folds that bend the ears to a desirable position.  The sutures will be woven into the ears and will pin the ears back. The ears will be reattached to the skin using tiny stitches.   There may be a slight post-operative discomfort, swelling, and bruising which can be alleviated by the medicine prescribed by the doctor.  You should sleep on your...

Cheek liposuction

Image
  Liposuction - surgical procedure to remove fat from the particular parts of the body, such as the thighs, abdomen, sides, and hips. However, liposuction can also be an effective way to remove excess fat from the face. Cheek liposuction removes fat from the face. It can also make the face and jawline slimmer and more defined by shaping and contouring them. Cheek liposuction is conducted in a similar way as on the other parts of the body. The surgery usually takes one hour, and after the surgery, you can go home. Local anesthesia is administered to the patient. There are three techniques of liposuction: tumescent, ultrasound, and laser. However, we use only the traditional method, which is tumescent liposuction. The plastic surgeon makes a small incision on the cheeks and applies saline solution on them. As a result, cheeks swell, making it easier for the doctor to remove the fat. After the surgery, we recommend the patients wear lifting masks (compression garment) that cover the n...

  Leading a busy life, we often forget to take care of our skin. Then we try different mask packs or procedures to improve the skin condition. However, we end up feeling disappointed with most of these procedures. Today, I am going to tell you about Chanel injection that leaves you satisfied with the result.

Rejurn healer for skin whitening and elasticity.

Image
    Here is the review of our colleague who has recently got a Rejuran healer skin booster procedure. What is a Rejuran healer?  Recently, the Rejuran healer skin booster has become popular in South Korea. Why is that? Is it because of the advertisement effect or the effectiveness of the procedure?  I have come across so many positive reviews about the Rejuran healer. Therefore, our clinic has decided to introduce this injection at our clinic as well. So I also got my Rejuran procedure. What I can say is that you cannot see the result immediately. It gets better as time passes and can feel the effect within a week. Especially, when you wash your face or apply make-up, the effect becomes very noticeable. The procedure is painless because it is conducted with a new advanced medical device called Pangsis. It reduces the potential bruising, redness, and above all, pain. Rejuran healer skin booster smoothes out fine lines, restores skin elasticity as well as brightens the...

What is alarplasty?

Image
  Alarplasty, also known as alar base reduction, is a type of plastic surgery that corrects the shape of the nose. It is suitable for people who wish to improve the appearance of the flared or prominent nostrils. You can also consider alarplasty as one type of rhinoplasty. What does the surgery involve? A plastic surgeon makes an external incision on the side of the nostrils, removes some part of the tissues, and put stitches on it. By doing so, the doctor could narrow flared nose.   A patient can be applied local or general anesthesia depending on the patient's condition. After the surgery, the nose might swell and stay red for 1 or 2 weeks. Swelling and redness vary by individuals. Incision scars also should become almost invisible within one to three months. We recommend that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon about the surgery in detail and realistic outcomes. Dr.Kim is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a twenty-year experience in plastic surgery. If y...

How to improve a wide nose?

Image
  Some people prefer having a larger or wider nose, whereas others want to make the nose look narrower. Several options exist to narrow a wide nose. Let us learn about them. People wishing to have a narrower nose might undergo nose surgery, rhinoplasty. It entails narrowing, straightening the nose as well as correcting the nose angles. Before the rhinoplasty, it is important to discuss the realistic surgery outcomes with your plastic surgeon. It is also necessary to avoid smoking, alcoholic drinks, and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen, etc. During the rhinoplasty, the doctor applies local anesthesia and reconstructs the nasal bone and bridge. If you want to reduce the nostrils, the doctor might excise tissues from the area through small incisions. The scar of the incision should fade away with time. After the rhinoplasty, the surgeon might ask you not to remove bandages until the stitches are taken. For three weeks after stitch removal, it is mandatory to re...

All-natural skin rejuvenation treatment

Image
  You may have heard before about PRP(Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment. PRP treatment is an innovative treatment that utilizes the platelets found in the patient’s own blood. This means that you will not have any allergic reactions after the treatment. It improves the skin tone, activates the regenerative process, repairs skin’s elasticity and quality. PRP treatment is conducted by taking the client’s blood. The blood is placed in a special device where the plasma and platelets are extracted. Then it is applied on the skin’s surface on the areas of concern in conjunction with injectable treatments, Fraxel laser, or RF treatment (Infini). The PRP has a rejuvenating effect by stimulating new collagen production and releasing growth factors.   It is advised to get a series of 3-5 treatments with a gap of 2-3 weeks together with laser treatments or injectables. It significantly improves the skin’s turgor and elasticity.

Lip fillers

Image
  There are surgical and non-surgical methods to augment lips. However, for those who prefer non-surgical ways, lip fillers would be the best option to achieve the desired result.   People undergo lip fillers to increase the size of lips and add some plumpness. When we age, we tend to lose skin elasticity. As a result, the skin, face as well as lips sag. Fillers help restore collagen generation. The procedure is simple and does not require any downtime or treatment period. Before getting lip filers, ensure that you explained to the doctor what kind of lip appearance you want in detail. Besides, being aware of the potential risks or side effects (if there are any) makes you feel far more anxious. To augment the lips, the doctor uses fillers on a hyaluronic acid basis. It is a gel-like substance that is absorbed with time. When injected, fillers make lips look thicker and more voluminous. Many are interested in how long lip fillers last. The effectiveness of the lip fillers depe...

How does Asian Rhinoplasty work?

Image
  Asian Rhinoplasty is the plastic surgery that addresses the issues like low and flat nasal bridge and under projected nasal tip. The Asian Rhinoplasty involves a nose bridge augmentation with a silicone implant. If desired, the nasal tip can be changed together with the nose bridge. As a result, you will get improved front and side views of your nose, specifically, a more refined nose bridge with a well-defined nasal tip. During the first consultation, the doctor will decide if you are a good candidate for Asian Rhinoplasty. The operation involves the insertion of an implant to elevate the nose bridge. However, the implant doesn’t extend to the tip to prevent the movement and extrusion of the implant. As for the nasal tip plasty, the doctor can use the patient’s ear cartilage and create a projected nasal tip. The advantage of this method is that the cartilage is natural and is grafted from the patient’s own body. After the operation is performed, the tape and dressing are applied...

Why wear a compression garment after the liposuction?

Image
  In the previous posts, I introduced you to liposuction surgery and post-liposuction instructions. The most important one is regarding the wearing of a compression garment for the best results. Today, I am going to get down to the nitty-gritty of wearing a compression garment. We encourage our customers to wear a compression garment from 3 to 6 months after the surgery. You may ask why? Well, there are several reasons for that. Firstly, a compression garment helps reduce swelling after the surgery. Like in many surgeries, there will be potential swelling of tissues in the body. To fight that, there needed some external pressure. That pressure from outside is applied with a compression garment. Secondly, compression garment minimizes potential bruising. When the blood vessels are injured, the blood enters the tissues that surround them. Then it leads to the appearance of bruises on the surgery area. The constant wearing of a compression garment prevents bleeding and bruises. Lastly...

Therefore many people are trying to hide these horizontal wrinkles under turtlenecks and scarves. Is there any solution for getting rid of the Rings of Venus? A neck lift can significantly lift the skin folds but the wrinkles may still stay in place. However, the filler injection technique will help to make the wrinkles or rings of the Venus on the neck less visible.

Moreover, it will hydrate your skin from deep inside.  It usually takes 1 week for fillers to settle and the neckline to heal. It is advised to avoid doing har...

It is impossible to stop appearing wrinkles caused because of the aging process. However, one can take some actions to make the signs of aging less visible. When we use our muscles, especially facial muscles, fine lines or wrinkles start to appear in that area. With decreasing elasticity, the skin also drops. Frowning involves muscle movement and leads to the appearance of wrinkles between the eyebrows. How to treat frown lines? There is a non-surgical brow lift procedure. It uses Botox (botulinum toxin type A) to relax the muscles between the eyebrows and temporarily prevents those muscles from moving.

What do you need to know about mole removal?

Image
Most people wish to remove the moles because they think moles might give a less aesthetic appearance. Nonetheless, the most important thing one should bear in mind before removing a mole is that the non-surgical and surgical removal method will leave scars on the skin. Most moles are removed by a dermatologist or a board-certified plastic surgeon. There are surgical and non-surgical options to remove moles. Non-surgical mole removal includes laser treatments such as carbon dioxide laser. Depending on the size and location, moles can be removed or not.

Recovery time depends on the person’s age and size of the mole. If one tries to remove the entire mole...

Personal review of our spa therapist.

Image
I am a Juhee’s regular customer and boss. Today, I am going to leave my honest review about Juhee. I like spa procedures and pay visits very often. However, above all, I was mesmerized by Park Juhee’s exceptional skills in spa therapy. Just the simple touch of her hand can make a person forget everything and fly into the seventh sky. Whenever I have my procedures, she impresses me even more so that I am afraid that I cannot find enough expressions to describe that. I feel very relaxed and refreshed after every single procedure. That is why I keep repeating my spa procedures with her. She is undoubtedly gifted, and especially her hands with those delicate and soft massage techniques make me applaud her remarkable skills. What made me feel even more admiration for her was her hands. I have never seen her hands before. But during the photo session, I was astonished by the softness of her hands. They look so soft and warm. That moment, I realized that Juhee's hands reflect years of exp...

How to improve saggy eyelids?

Image
     One of the main reasons the eyelids start to sag is the looseness of skin. This condition often occurs with age. The level of eyelid sagginess may vary and in some extreme cases, the eyelids may interfere with the ability to see especially when looking upwards because the vision is partly blocked by the hanging skin.  What’s more, it causes inconveniences because a person needs to constantly arch the eyebrows. As s result, this can lead to the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead.         Upper Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of extra skin and fat tissue to lift the upper lids. In addition, the doctor can perform Ptosis correction by lifting and strengthening the eyelid muscles. Not only it improves your vision, but it aesthetically looks better.     The operation doesn’t require a long recovery. You will have your eyelids covered with gauze and plaster for 5 days. The stitches will be removed on t...

What to know about IPL?

  IPL or intense pulsed light is a laser treatment reducing scars and lightening the skin. It is also used to improve spider veins (dilated blood vessels on the face or legs). IPL works in the same way as the other types of lasers.

Why is it important to exfoliate your skin?

Image
Skincare specialists recommend exfoliating skin regularly. Why is it so? Exfoliation helps to remove the dead cells on the epidermis to cleanse pores and dirt. After removing the dead skin cells, you remove the barrier to your healthy skin. Exfoliation helps the skin to increase the absorption of cosmetic products such as creams and serums to penetrate deep into your skin. The highly effective laser exfoliator is a Shining peel laser. It is a gentle peeling laser that not only removes the upper epidermal layer safely but also tightens pores. A couple of days after the treatment you will notice that dead skin cells naturally slough off. With time the skin gets tender and gets a more youthful and glowing appearance. You may experience dryness of the skin after the laser treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly moisturize your skin after the procedure. Generally, 3 sessions are highly recommended to get the best results and see an ongoing effect.  You can get a facial moist...

Can you regularly have nose fillers?

Image
Many people feel anxious about nasal implants used during rhinoplasty. Therefore, one of the most frequent questions they ask is regarding the dermal fillers. In the rhinoplasty (nose job), the surgeon lifts the nose bridge either with the nasal implants such as silicone or the cartilage from the nasal septum. It is true nasal implants can cause inflammation depending on the age and the body constitution of each individual. Moreover, the inflammation can also be caused because of the incompatibility of the nasal implant with the body. It can cause implant contracture. When it comes to dermal fillers, they are made of components similar and compatible with the components in our body. Therefore, they are safe to apply. However, fillers dissolve after a particular period. Therefore, one should get regular procedures with a certain interval after each filler injection. It allows for maintaining the effect and result of the fillers. Lastly, when having a filler injection, it is important to...

Is it possible to get Botox & Fillers at the same time?

Image
The combination of Fillers and Botox can give you the most natural-looking results. They definitely can be used together at the same time. It is often advised if you have deep and static wrinkles that don’t disappear even if your face is relaxed. Let’s take a closer look at the prominent effect the Botox and Filler injections can give when used together. Both Botox and Fillers can be injected in the same area but with different planes of tissues. Botox is injected into the muscles to relax the frown lines. However, Fillers are injected under the skin to lift the crease and improve the wrinkle appearance. This unique combination addresses the dynamic wrinkles that result from facial expressions and static wrinkles which appear when our wrinkles are at rest. This procedure will double the facial rejuvenation and bring you long-lasting results. Generally, the effect of Filler injections lasts longer than results from Botox. After the injections wear off, you will need to repeat the mainte...

Blepharoplasty: Eye shape correction

Image
One of the most preferred cosmetic procedures to make eyes bigger is corrective surgery of the shape of the eyes. The doctor makes an incision in the eyelid and lifts the muscles of the upper eyelid. Besides, he or she enlarges the size of the eye horizontally by fixing it. This surgery best suits those who have drooping or drowsy eyelids. Also, people whose eye pupils are not visible, and the muscles in charge of eye-opening are weak. The surgeon creates a line in the upper eyelid to not leave any marks or scars after the corrective surgery with the incisional method. It is possible to correct the shapes of the eyes, but only with the incision, eyes can look fresh and big. Some people avoid the incisional method because of the potential swelling and incision. However, it is vital to remember whether a particular surgery is suitable for one’s case. Whatever method one chooses, make sure that the doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon. It will make a difference in terms of the resu...

How to correct a snub nose?

Image
Most Asian people have a snub type of nose. Sometimes, people call it a blunt or snub nose. Usually, a blunt nose looks short with an upturned tip. What are the possible ways to improve the snub nose? Many patients with a snub nose ask if it is possible to correct the nose tip with dermal fillers. In this case, fillers will not be helpful.

The surgeon gathers the cartilage on both sides of the tip and supports it with the nasal septum cartilage. Lastly, make sure that the plastic surgeon is board-certified with rich know-how and clinical experience. That is the key to achieve the best result.
