How long does swelling last after eyelid surgery?

Image
  About a week or two after eyelid surgery, many patients begin to worry about persistent swelling and ask: How long will it last? When will my eyes start to look natural again? Swelling and bruising after blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) vary from person to person depending on individual healing characteristics. 🔹 Major swelling typically subsides within 2–3 weeks 🔹 Residual swelling may last 3 to 6 months, and in some cases, even longer. 💡 To help reduce swelling: — Apply cold compresses for the first 3 days — Then switch to warm compresses for about a week Additional tips: Eat foods that help reduce fluid retention Take light walks regularly — this promotes circulation and speeds up recovery. #shesplasticsurgery   #Busanplasticsurgery   #nampodongplasticsurgery #eyelidsurgery #eyewrinkles #

Laser Treatment for Pigmentation: Different Approaches for Freckles and Melasma.

Image
Intense ultraviolet exposure in summer often contributes to the formation of pigmentation on the skin. However, it’s not always easy to determine whether you’re dealing with freckles or melasma. Many patients ask: What’s the difference between these types of pigmentation, and which treatment is most effective? Let’s take a closer look. 🔍 What’s the difference between freckles and melasma? The skin is composed of two main layers: the epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (deeper layer). Freckles are a form of pigmentation that appears in the epidermis. They look like small brown or dark brown spots (up to 5 mm in diameter) and may appear not only on the face, but also on the neck, shoulders, and chest. Melasma, on the other hand, affects the deeper dermal layers. These spots tend to have irregular shapes and varying degrees of intensity. Other deep pigmentation types include nevus of Ota, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 💡 Why the depth of pigmentation matters Both freckles a...

Soft volume and natural beauty — all of this is possible with Fat grafting.

Image
  With age or due to individual anatomical features, many people experience volume loss in the cheeks, cheekbones, temples, and nasolabial folds. This can lead to a tired and aged appearance. One of the most effective solutions to this problem is Fat grafting— a procedure that uses the patient's own fat tissue. 💉 What is Fat grafting? Fat grafting is a technique in which fat is harvested from the patient's body processed and then injected into areas of the face where additional volume is needed. This procedure not only enhances facial contours but also improves skin quality thanks to the stem cells naturally present in fat tissue. Benefits of the procedure: Natural-looking results – since your own fat is used, the risk of rejection is minimized. Minimal scarring and quick recovery. Comprehensive effect – adds volume and improves skin texture. Long-lasting results – with proper care, a portion of the fat survives permanently. 👤 Who is a good candidate? 1. Individuals with noti...

Try The Up Lifting and V-Ro Advance procedures together!

Image
  The Up Lifting effectively targets sagging cheeks, jawline, and the area around the mouth. The inserted threads gradually dissolve, stimulating collagen production, which enhances skin elasticity and provides a lifting effect. Even after the threads are fully absorbed, the results remain visible. The procedure requires only a 0.5 cm incision, and the stitches are made with dissolvable sutures, so no special recovery period is needed. It’s a relatively simple treatment, which is why it’s a popular choice for many. For an even more noticeable lifting effect, we recommend combining it with V-Ro Advance. V-Ro Advance is a lifting treatment that combines ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies. It not only lifts the skin but also improves elasticity. The procedure can be done on the entire face or targeted areas, including delicate zones like around the eyes. Best of all, it’s virtually painless — making it a highly recommended option. #shesplasticsurgery #Busanplasticsurgery #na...

Non-Surgical Facelift: How About TRIDEM?

Image
TRIDEM is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses RF (radiofrequency) energy to rejuvenate the skin. Without any incisions, the energy penetrates deep into the dermis, where it contracts existing collagen and stimulates its natural regeneration. The key advantage of TRIDEM is its natural lifting effect, which is also accompanied by fat reduction in targeted problem areas. This procedure is especially effective for those concerned about: sagging around the mouth and jawline, deep nasolabial folds, under-eye fat and skin laxity, double chin and hollow areas between the cheeks and nose. It helps the entire face appear firmer, tighter, and more youthful. While some patients may experience slight swelling or bruising, this varies depending on individual sensitivity. After the treatment, waterproof tape is applied to the treated areas and should be worn for about 5 to 7 days. Makeup can be applied over the tape, and normal daily activities can continue as usual. After one week, it’s safe ...

After a Facelift: How to Properly Apply Steri-Strips.

Image
  After your stitches are removed, it’s very important to apply the fixation tape correctly — this plays a significant role in your recovery. This tape is called a Steri-Strip. It gently secures the incision area after the stitches are taken out and helps promote natural healing. It is recommended to wear Steri-Strips for approximately 3 weeks to 6 months after stitch removal. However, this can vary depending on individual conditions, so be sure to follow your doctor’s instructions. This step is crucial for a smooth and successful recovery. When used properly, Steri-Strips help stabilize the surgical area, which can minimize scarring and support faster and more aesthetically pleasing healing. #shesplasticsurgery   #Busanplasticsurgery   #nampodongplasticsurgery #facelift #lifting #

How long does the effect of Facial fat grafting last?

Image
Fat grafting is an effective way to naturally restore facial volume. Many patients are curious about how long the results of the procedure last, especially before deciding to undergo fat grafting. So, how long does the result of fat transfer to the face actually last? It’s usually not possible to achieve the full effect with just one procedure. Depending on the area being treated, two or more sessions may be necessary. After the first transfer, a portion of the fat does not survive and is reabsorbed by the body. This volume is typically restored during a second (or sometimes third) procedure. The fat that successfully takes hold becomes part of the body’s own tissue and does not get reabsorbed. However , the transferred fat can change with weight loss or the natural aging process. Since overall fat volume decreases with weight loss, it’s impossible to maintain only the transferred fat independently. That said, if the fat graft has properly settled, it doesn’t simply disappear on its ow...
