Is It Necessary to Wear a Compression Band After a Facelift?

Image
  A facelift is an effective procedure for reducing signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin across the entire face. During consultations, many patients ask whether wearing a compression band (tightening strap) is truly necessary after surgery, and how long it should be worn. We recommend starting to wear the band approximately 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure. It helps improve skin elasticity and promotes better tissue adhesion. Wearing it consistently for 3 to 6 months after surgery can lead to more defined and long-lasting results. #shesplasticsurgery   #Busanplasticsurgery   #nampodongplasticsurgery

Facial Laser Liposuction: When and How to Wear a Compression Band?

Image
Laser liposuction is an effective method for reducing skin laxity and eliminating a double chin using laser energy. To enhance the effects of the procedure and support the healing process, patients are advised to wear a compression band (tightening strap).   So, when should you start wearing it, and for how long? You should begin wearing the compression band starting the day after the procedure. It helps to: • reduce swelling and bruising, • prevent sagging from recurring, • promote skin adhesion and improve facial contour recovery. The recommended duration is 3 to 6 months, including while sleeping at night, to achieve the best possible results. #shesplasticsurgery   #Busanplasticsurgery   #nampodongplasticsurgery

Stone Therapy: Why Use Black Stone?

Image
  Stone therapy is not just about placing a "warm stone" on the body. In particular, the black stone is known for its ability to retain heat for a long time and is also considered a stone that carries natural energy. It is excellent for helping the body relax quickly and inducing deep calm. When a warm stone touches the body, tension naturally begins to melt away. Muscles soften, allowing the therapist's hand techniques to work deeper and more effectively. That’s why incorporating stones into back care or spa treatments greatly enhances fatigue relief and the overall relaxation effect. However, stone therapy is not a treatment that just anyone can perform. It requires refined skills — precise temperature control, correct stone placement, and careful pressure adjustment. Without sufficient experience, delivering delicate and effective care is difficult. At She's Spa, stone therapy is performed with great care by experienced spa technicians. On days when you need deep p...

Is it possible for under-eye fat to reappear after lower blepharoplasty?

Image
Lower blepharoplasty is an effective procedure for correcting bulging fat and sagging skin under the eyes caused by aging. However, many patients ask during consultations whether the fat can come back after surgery and if another procedure would be necessary if sagging occurs again. Even after surgery, the skin and fat under the eyes can sag again over time. This is because aging continues, and the eye area tends to age faster than other parts of the body. Depending on the degree of sagging, a revision surgery may be necessary. Since the under-eye area is delicate and requires precise technique, it’s important to thoroughly consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon before deciding on further treatment. #shesplasticsurgery   #Busanplasticsurgery   #nampodongplasticsurgery

When Can I Dye or Perm My Hair After Plastic Surgery?

Image
Many patients ask about hair treatments after plastic surgery, particularly when it is safe to dye or perm their hair. When is it safe to get hair treatments after surgery? We recommend waiting at least one month after your surgery, once the healing process is complete and all wounds have recovered.   Hair dye and perm chemicals can be irritating to the skin. That’s why it’s important to allow the surgical site to fully heal before undergoing any such treatments. This is especially important after facelift surgery, as incisions often run from the scalp above the ear to behind the ear, making the area more sensitive. For your safety, please consult your plastic surgeon before getting any hair treatments such as coloring or perming after surgery. #shesplasticsurgery   #Busanplasticsurgery   #nampodongplasticsurgery

Choosing Sunscreen? Just Check These 2 Things!

Image
When selecting a sunscreen, there are two essential things to consider: SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and PA (Protection Grade of UVA). These are the most important indicators of how well the product protects your skin from harmful UV rays. Choose SPF 30 or higher SPF indicates the level of protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. For daily use, it’s recommended to choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors or on days with high UV levels, SPF 50 is ideal. Don’t forget to check the PA rating PA refers to the level of protection against UVA rays, which penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute to pigmentation and premature aging. The more "+" signs after PA, the higher the protection. It’s best to choose a sunscreen with at least PA+++. UVA rays can affect you indoors too UVA rays can pass through windows — whether in your car, at home, or on a balcony — and still damage your skin. That’s why applying sunscreen indoors is just...

Considering Epicanthoplasty? Here's What You Need to Know.

Image
  If you have a wide space between your eyes or a prominent epicanthal fold (the skin fold covering the inner corner of the eye), epicanthoplasty — a procedure that reshapes the inner eye corner — can help create a more open and defined look. However, this surgery is not necessary for everyone. Epicanthoplasty involves removing part of the epicanthal fold to naturally expose the inner corner of the eye. It can be performed on its own or in combination with double eyelid surgery. Even a small adjustment — as little as 1–2 mm to as much as 3–5 mm — can noticeably soften and "open up" your gaze. That said, if the epicanthal fold is barely visible or the space between the eyes is already narrow, the effect of the surgery may be limited. In some cases, it may even result in an unnatural appearance. That’s why it’s essential to carefully assess your eye structure, facial proportions, and skin condition before deciding on surgery. Recovery time typically involves suture removal afte...
