Visit verification complete #[Gangnam] Brazilian Wax 5 sessions including anal After years of only doing Brazilian waxing, I decided to get laser treatment because both the cost and the hair kept growing back. I was worried because I had heard many reviews saying it was painful, but it didn't hurt at all, and I found it funny how scared I was.. haha! The cool breeze also helped minimize the discomfort. All the staff were incredibly friendly 🥹🥹. No matter how skilled or painless the treatment is, I always get uncomfortable with unfriendly service, so I was really grateful for the warm welcome! They also provided detailed explanations, which helped me understand the procedure well. Thank you~!!! I will come back next month! ♥️

Visit verification complete #[Spot Remover] Aiton Laser I had my consultation during the second week of June and came in for my sixth session. I'm now entering my sixth treatment session, combining toning with dual laser therapy. I also took advantage of the promotional price for Aton. After the procedure, I've been told that receiving a massage with a mask enhances the results. I'm feeling my skin becoming gradually brighter, and I make sure to use sunscreen regularly. The doctor and the staff are friendly and thorough in their care. Since this is a promotional offer, the price is reasonable, and I plan to come back for additional treatments in the winter after completing these ten sessions.^^

Visit verification complete #A-Top Under-Eye Fat Redistribution I had double eyelid surgery and fat repositioning under my eyes. There was some swelling in my face, so my skin looked tight and firm. ^^ I was considering facial fat grafting after that, and it reminded me that it has been 3 months since I had surgery with Dr. Lee Han-jung at A-Top Plastic Surgery. I wanted to share a brief update and review.~^^ During the recovery period, I experienced almost no discomfort or pain. The double eyelid line has settled beautifully, and everyone says I look lovely when I go to gatherings. ~ With the fat under my eyes gone, I look neat and rejuvenated, with a difference of at least 10 years, if not 5 years younger, so I'm very satisfied with the results.~

The thing most people find most difficult when doing intermittent fasting is the feeling of hunger. Since Maunzaro delays gastric emptying and acts on the brain's appetite regulation to increase satiety and reduce appetite, I feel less hungry, so I think it will be easier to endure the fasting period. Is it okay to combine intermittent fasting with Moundaro?

Hello! I am the Representative Director of Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic, a Double Board Certified Specialist in Prosthodontics and Integrative Dentistry. Kim Hyung-seok It is. 👋✨ "It's clearly white and neat, so why does it look awkward? It looks like Go stones stuck on it..." 😢 When consulting about laminates, there are particularly many people who confide in me about these kinds of worries and concerns. You actually like the bright color, but you feel it looks artificial and particularly noticeable when you smile or speak. This problem often occurs because many people believe that the key to a natural-looking prosthesis lies solely in 'color (brightness or tone).' In fact, natural teeth are not simply a structure painted with white paint. 🙅♂️ It reflects light and lets some of it pass through, creating a unique clear and three-dimensional effect. In today's column, I will discuss things many people easily overlook for a beautiful smile Translucency I will easily explain the secrets and criteria for choosing a foolproof dental clinic from the perspective of a prosthodontist! 💡✨ 1️⃣ What is the real cause of awkward-looking veneers? 🔸 This is because it was manufactured without considering the natural optical characteristics and structure of the tooth. When laminates look awkward, many people simply think, "Is it because the color is too bright?" Unfairly(?), it is often not just a matter of color. 🎨❌ Our teeth have a much more complex and mysterious structure than you might think. 📌 What happens when you examine the flow of light on natural teeth? Look in the mirror and observe your teeth closely. 🔍 The degree of light reflection varies depending on the position. In particular, the tips of the front teeth have a unique transparency that allows some light to pass through. What would happen if the prosthesis were made to be excessively opaque and could not let any light pass through? Although the color is clearly white and bright, it gives a somewhat flat and stifling impression, and commonly says Awkwardness like a Go stone It causes. 🦷⚠️ However, making it simply transparent risks easy fracture, so a very precise balance is required. When considering laminate, it is not simply about how many tones to brighten, How naturally can the unique optical properties of my current teeth be reproduced? You must make the top priority standard. ✨ 📌 A word of advice from the director Laminates that are strikingly bright and white are by no means a bad thing. However, if that 'white color' does not blend naturally with the surrounding teeth and the flow of light, it can feel somewhat awkward, no matter how pretty the color is. 2️⃣ How do you achieve a look that becomes more natural the more you look at it? 🔸 of the teeth Translucency The key is the process of finely adjusting and reproducing it. The front teeth are the first aesthetic feature to catch our eye when we smile. 🥰 The naturalness of a dental prosthesis is determined not by the material itself, but by how its shape, thickness, and internal structure are designed during the manufacturing process. ✨ Completing the natural look Layering technique Instead of using a single solid material, we apply a method of stacking ceramics with different optical properties layer upon layer. The body of the tooth is rendered to reflect light stably, while the tip maximizes the three-dimensional effect by capturing a translucency similar to natural teeth. 💎 It is precisely in this process Prosthodontics specialist precise diagnosis and design capabilities It will emit this light. ⭐ 💡 What is a Prosthodontics Specialist? This refers to medical staff who have conducted in-depth research on 'overall prosthetic design and occlusion' and accumulated extensive experience at training hospitals certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. They establish a treatment plan by comprehensively considering not only the whiteness of the teeth but also their shape, proportions, occlusion, harmony with surrounding teeth, and even light reflection and transmission characteristics, rather than simply checking the whiteness of the teeth. A solid restoration plan is essential to create a smile that you never get tired of looking at. 👨⚕️ 3️⃣ Which dental clinic should you choose for foolproof treatment? 🔸 Professional inside the hospital In-hospital office Check if they operate it directly. Laminates are not a treatment that is instantly completed just because the diagnosis is finished in the treatment room. 🛠️ The laboratory process, which involves precisely analyzing the patient's dental condition and then delicately designing and fabricating the prosthesis, must flow organically. The most important key point here is "How accurately data such as the patient's eye color, skin tone, and tooth clarity confirmed in the examination room is reflected in the production process" It is. 🗣️🎯 💡 The definite advantages of operating an in-house laboratory! ▶ Close real-time communication: The medical staff in charge of treatment and the dental technicians creating prosthetics can exchange detailed opinions in the same space. 🤝 ▶ Precise detail adjustment: If there are any minute adjustments needed regarding transparency or shape during the fabrication process or when the prosthesis is fitted to the tooth, they can be discussed and corrected immediately, maximizing the final quality. 🔍✨ 📌 Therefore, if you are considering laminates Rather than simply comparing price discount events or superficial designs, we strongly recommend that you examine the communication system involved from diagnosis to final production. 🔍 FAQ: 3 Frequently Asked Questions about Laminates Q1. Is it always better to choose the lightest color for the laminate? A1. No! 🙅♂️ You must consider the tone of the surrounding natural teeth, the shade of the gum line, and even the patient's skin tone and lip color. The tip of the tooth Transparency To avoid the awkward look of having stickers applied, they must be custom-made to blend naturally with the surrounding teeth. Q2. Is a prosthesis always better the higher the transparency? A2. While it is true that transparency is necessary for a natural look, making it excessively transparent reduces the strength of the prosthesis, posing a risk of easy fracture during daily activities. Therefore, the parts that reflect light and the parts that transmit it for each area Precisely balanced Therefore, durability and aesthetics must be achieved simultaneously. Q3. What specifically is different if there is an in-hospital office? A3. If you entrust the prosthesis to an external laboratory, it may take several days for fine adjustments or communication errors may occur. the other side In-house prosecution With this setup, the prosthodontist and the dental technician can directly share the patient's oral characteristics and delicately refine even the flow of light, resulting in the completion of much more satisfying customized prosthetics. 💎✨ 🎯 Conclusion: For a smile that is comfortable and beautiful even after a long time today If you make laminates only white, they look awkward like Go stones. We discussed the core of aesthetic prosthetics under the theme of... 📝✨ Many people tend to base the criterion for the success of laminates on 'how dramatically white they have become.' However, consistently satisfactory results over time depend not only on the surface of the teeth, but also on what the teeth absorb Serious contemplation on reading 'The Flow of Light' It starts at. 🌤️🍃 ☺️💎 Good results do not stand out or show off at first glance. Instead, they become more natural the more you look at them, and remain as comfortable as your own, even after a long time. I hope today's post has served as a small guide for those who hesitated to seek treatment due to concerns about artificial or unnatural results.

김형석 원장26.06.30Views 38Likes 1 [Health Column] 5 Things You Must Check for Safe Results Before Implant Surgery[2]
Hello! This is Dr. Lee Jeong-ho, Chief Director of Seoul Dia Dental Clinic. Usually, when people receive a consultation or hear about dental implants at a dental clinic, quite a few of them think to themselves like this. 💬 "Come on, it's just implanting one tooth. Isn't it a simpler surgery than you'd think?" However, it is by no means a simple matter. This is because dental implants are not simply a treatment where a single artificial tooth is placed and finished; rather, it is a precise treatment that requires the perfect alignment of the patient's current physical condition, the state of their gum bone, and their daily lifestyle habits. 📌 Today, the advice I actually give patients the most in the consultation room 5 Key Basic Conditions I will summarize it for you in an easy-to-understand way! 1️⃣ Why should the gum bone be checked before the teeth before implant surgery? The success of an implant depends on a solid and sufficient ' gum bone It is determined based on ' When you look in the mirror, you are bound to see only the empty space and think, "Ah, a tooth is missing in this spot." However, the principle of an implant is to firmly implant an artificial tooth root into the 'gum bone (alveolar bone)' beneath the space where the tooth was missing. It's just like how the soil needs to be firm when planting a tree. 🌱 Therefore, when you visit the dental clinic, the directors will first precisely diagnose the condition of your gum bone. What is important at this time 3 elements It is as follows. 🔸 Bone thickness (Is it wide enough to cover the artificial tooth root?) 🔸 Bone height (Is sufficient length secured?) 🔸 Bone hardness (Is the bone density good enough to provide good fixation?) ⚠️ Even if the gums appear healthy and plump on the outside, a thorough examination reveals that there are surprisingly many cases where the bone underneath has thinned or has already dissolved and been absorbed. If you are planning dental implants, it is essential to first undergo a CT scan to examine the invisible bone structure in three dimensions. 🔍 2️⃣ Why do I need to inform the dentist in advance if I have systemic diseases? Chronic underlying conditions are directly related to bleeding during surgery and recovery, so this is essential information for safety. There are people who cautiously ask, "Doctor, is it okay if I take blood pressure medication?" or "My diabetes is quite severe; is it okay to have surgery?" To start with the conclusion, chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, liver disease, and osteoporosis are all closely linked to implant surgery. ⚠️ This is because implants are a surgical procedure that involves incising the gums and manipulating the bone, so the management of the following three factors is crucial. ✔️ Control of bleeding during and after surgery ✔️ Rapid wound healing ability ✔️ Infection control regarding bacteria 💡 Even if you have systemic diseases ❌, surgery is not impossible. It is to create a customized plan for the safest time to proceed with the surgery and the method to be used. Therefore, please remember that when visiting the dentist, systemic diseases are never a secret to be hidden, but rather valuable data that will ensure the safety of your surgery! 😊 3️⃣ Should I check every single medication you take regularly, even minor treatments? Since the timing of surgery and hemostasis methods vary depending on the type of medication being taken, accurate sharing is necessary. When filling out a dental questionnaire, there is a section to list any medications you are currently taking, right? If you are facing implant surgery, information about your medication is truly more important than anything else. ✨ In particular, the success and safety of the surgery depend significantly on whether the following apply. 📌 blood-related drugs (Aspirin, etc.) 📌 Osteoporosis treatments and injections 📌 anticoagulant component These medications serve as important milestones in determining how to manage hemostasis on the day of surgery or whether to postpone the surgery. 📝 If you cannot remember the name of your medicine, please do not worry. You can simply take a photo of your prescription or medicine bag, or write it down, and we will carefully verify it for you! 4️⃣ How much does your condition the day before surgery affect the implant outcome? Overwork or drinking the day before is the main culprit that significantly increases pain and bleeding on the day. No matter how skilled a doctor is, if the implant is performed with a perfect plan, the difficulty of the surgery increases significantly if the patient's condition is poor on the day of the operation. 😢 It is most advisable to get dental implants when your body is in peak condition. ⚠️ Alcohol consumed late the previous day (drinking) ⚠️ Sleep deprivation caused by tossing and turning ⚠️ Overwork due to accumulated excessive schedule If you lie on the operating table in this state, your blood vessels will expand, causing a noticeable increase in bleeding during surgery compared to usual. Not only will your recovery speed slow down after surgery, but you may also feel much sharper and more severe pain when you wake up from anesthesia. ✔️ Take a complete break from alcohol for just one day 🙅♂️ ✔️ Go to bed early at night and get enough restful sleep 💤 5️⃣ What is a more fundamental question than "Doctor, can I have surgery today?" Finding the 'most correct timing' suited to the patient's periodontal condition is the priority, rather than speed. Perhaps because many people visiting the dental clinic for consultations are impatient, they frequently ask this question. 🙋♂️ "Director, it's hard for me to make time. Since I'm here today, can't you plant it for me right away?" Of course, if examination results show that the bone is very strong and there is absolutely no inflammation, there are cases where treatment involving immediate implantation on the same day is possible. However, from the medical team's perspective, there is a different question that must be asked with much greater weight than whether or not surgery is performed on the same day. ✨ "Would it really be suitable for the patient in the long term to plant it right now in this condition?" If severe inflammation remains at the extraction site, a preliminary step of thoroughly scraping out and cleaning the inflamed tissue may be necessary; additionally, if the bone tissue is weak, it may be much more beneficial to wait until the gum bone recovers and becomes firmer on its own before proceeding. Ultimately, dental implants are not a race against time to see 'how quickly you can get it done,' but a battle of precision to see 'how to install it at the most appropriate timing with the fewest side effects.' This seemingly minor difference in timing will result in a significant difference in outcome a few years later, determining whether you can use your implant properly for a long time. 💡 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been taking osteoporosis medication for a long time. Will this significantly interfere with implant surgery? A1. Certain ingredients commonly used in the treatment of osteoporosis (such as bisphosphonates and denosumab) have the property of inhibiting the bone metabolic process in which bone is absorbed and regenerated. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly examine the patient's medication history and duration prior to surgery. However, taking medication does not automatically mean that surgery is impossible; the plan will be safely modified after comprehensively reviewing the form of the medication (oral or injectable), the specific duration of use, and the status of underlying diseases. Never stop taking the medication on your own; please be sure to consult closely with your prescribing physician and dentist! ⚠️ Q2. Is it really a problem to have a light drink or two of beer or soju the night before surgery? A2. Yes, the effect is more noticeable than expected. Even a small amount of alcohol instantly dilates blood vessels upon entering the body, which can cause bleeding to be difficult to stop during surgery and may interfere with the effectiveness of the anesthetic. Please let go of the thought that "it will be okay a little" and I recommend taking a full day of rest the day before. 🙅♂️ 🔸 Conclusion When it comes to implant treatment, the top priority is to rationally determine "whether proceeding now is the best course of action given my physical condition," rather than unconditionally focusing on "how quickly the procedure can be finished, like lightning." Make sure to fully absorb what we covered today! 🧠 1️⃣ Thoroughly check the condition of the gum bone inside rather than the exterior 2️⃣ Do not hide your systemic diseases; use them as a compass for surgery. 3️⃣ Share all information about your daily medication, no matter how minor. 4️⃣ Protect your body by maintaining optimal condition the night before surgery 5️⃣ Entering at the optimal time rather than deciding on immediate surgery on the same day 💡 If you follow these commitments step-by-step with the medical team, there is no need to harbor excessive fear about the surgery, nor is there any reason to rush. Sometimes, treatment is like life itself; the more urgent the situation, the slower and more standard the path becomes—the safest and fastest shortcut. 🦷 If you have any questions about your bone condition or medications, feel free to consult with medical professionals at any time!

이정호 원장26.06.30Views 43Likes 2 [Health Column] Do Xylitol Candies Eaten Instead of Brushing Really Prevent Cavities?[3]
hello! Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Recently, if you look at online communities or social media, xylitol products are gaining immense popularity, being referred to as "candy eaten instead of brushing teeth" or "cavity-preventing candy to eat before bed." From parents of children who love sweets to adults who find it difficult to brush their teeth due to frequent external work, many people often ask, "Doctor, does this really work?" Is it really okay to eat sweet candy after brushing my teeth? To start with the conclusion, If you choose the right product properly, it is definitely effective in preventing cavities! Today, I will explain the hidden principles behind this xylitol candy and how to choose the right one in a very easy-to-understand way from a dentist's perspective. 1️⃣ How does xylitol, which is as sweet as sugar, prevent cavities? 👋 It is thanks to the 'fishing effect,' which sweetly lures cavity-causing bacteria until they exhaust themselves and die. The main culprit causing cavities in the mouth is a bacterium called 'Streptococcus mutans'. When this thing consumes the sugar (sweeteners) in the food we eat, it breaks it down and uses it as energy, and in the process, it releases 'acid'. It is this acidic component that dissolves the tooth surface and turns it black—that is tooth decay. However, when you meet xylitol, the situation changes completely! The Illusion of Cavity-Causing Bacteria: Xylitol has a chemical structure very similar to sugar, so cavity-causing bacteria mistake it for a tasty sugar and eagerly consume it. Foolish Repetition: However, cavity-causing bacteria cannot digest or break down xylitol. Ultimately, energy Having failed to obtain it, it spits it back out, and the hungry bacteria foolishly repeat this process. result: Cavity-causing bacteria, which only used up energy, eventually become exhausted and starve to death. In other words, xylitol acts as a kind of 'booby trap' that lures cavity-causing bacteria with its sweetness without providing them with any nutritional value, thereby draining their energy. 2️⃣ Is it really okay to eat xylitol after brushing my teeth? 👋 yes, In fact, it is much more effective to eat it immediately after you have finished brushing your teeth thoroughly! When you brush your teeth, large plaque and food debris attached to the surface of your teeth are primarily removed. If you consume xylitol in this state, the xylitol component is directly absorbed into the cavity-causing bacteria remaining in very fine particles in the mouth, maximizing the effect of starving and killing them. Furthermore, the unique sweetness of xylitol stimulates the salivary glands, significantly increasing saliva production. Our saliva contains beneficial components that protect our teeth and replenish calcium. Thanks to this, you can achieve a synergistic effect where the acidic environment in your mouth is neutralized and your teeth become even stronger. 3️⃣ Do xylitol products sold at supermarkets or convenience stores also work? 👋 Don't be fooled! If you do not check the 'xylitol content' on the ingredient list, it will have no effect. Unfortunately, among the numerous xylitol gums and candies sold on the market, there are many that are xylitol in name only and actually contain sugar, other sweeteners, or acidic additives secretly mixed in. What would happen if even just 1% of other sugars were mixed into the product besides xylitol? Instead of stupidly eating xylitol and starving, cavity-causing bacteria miraculously find and consume that 1% of sugar, produce acid again, and dissolve the teeth. Therefore, to experience the full effects of the genuine product, you must keep your eyes peeled and check the ingredient list on the back. 🔍 Essential Checklist from a Dentist ✅ Choose products containing 100% xylitol as a sweetener or those with an absolute xylitol content among the total ingredients ✅ Absolutely avoid products containing synthetic flavorings or citric acid (acidic ingredients), as they can actually corrode your teeth. 4️⃣ If I just eat xylitol candy, do I not need to brush my teeth anymore? 👋 Absolutely not! Xylitol candy is just an excellent 'supplement,' not 'toothpaste.' No matter how good xylitol is for preventing cavities, it can never replace brushing your teeth. This is because the sticky physical bacterial film (plaque) and fine food debris adhering to the surface of teeth can only be cleanly removed through the physical force of brushing and flossing. To put it simply, eating only xylitol without brushing your teeth is like spraying fragrant air freshener without cleaning the room at all. When supported by the solid foundation of brushing your teeth thoroughly three times a day, the preventive effects of xylitol finally shine brightly. Please make sure to remember this point! ❔ FAQ: Top 4 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Xylitol Candy Q1. Does the more you eat, the better the cavity prevention effect? A1. No! Too much of a good thing is bad. With xylitol, 'how many times a day you divide it into' (number of intakes) is much more important than the 'amount' you consume. The recommended daily intake for adults is about 5 to 10 grams. Rather than consuming a large amount at once, it is much more effective to starve cavity-causing bacteria by increasing the frequency of consumption to ensure the xylitol remains in the mouth 3 to 5 times a day. Caution: Due to the nature of xylitol as a natural sweetener (sugar alcohol), consuming excessive amounts at once can draw water into the intestines, potentially causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bloating. Please be sure to consume it in small amounts throughout the day! Q2. I want to feed this to my child. From what age can I start giving it? A2. It is recommended to start after 12 to 14 months of age, when the first molars come in and teeth begin to erupt, and when the child can suck on and melt candy on their own. It is very useful because the risk of cavity-causing bacteria infection increases rapidly from this period onwards. However, caution is required as there is a risk of the candy getting stuck in the throat if swallowed whole. If the child is still hesitant about eating candy, it is recommended to start safely by gently applying pure xylitol powder to their gums or teeth. Q3. Can I trust and buy all products on the market that have "100% Xylitol" written in large letters? A3. Do not be fooled by the marketing slogans on the front; you must check the 'total content' of the ingredients on the back. Even if it says 100% on the front, if you look at the detailed ingredient list, it is often '100% xylitol among sweeteners'. In other words, it simply means that the proportion of xylitol among the sweeteners included in the product is high; in reality, it implies that additives such as processed sugars or citric acid may be mixed in. Please make sure to check the back to confirm that it is a pure product made entirely of [99~100% Xylitol] without any other sugars! Q4. If I eat xylitol every day, do I still need dental checkups or fluoride application? A4. No. Xylitol only inhibits the activity of cavity-causing bacteria; it cannot strengthen the teeth themselves or stop microcavities that have already started. On the other hand, 'fluoride application' performed in dentistry is a fundamental protective barrier treatment that strongly remodels the tooth surface structure itself to withstand acid. The most perfect defense strategy is to manage your daily routine with xylitol while visiting the dentist every 3 to 6 months for regular checkups and fluoride application. 🎯 Conclusion: The surest shortcut to maintaining lifelong dental health ✅ Xylitol is a smart supplement: It plays an excellent role in starving cavity-causing bacteria to death, but basic brushing always comes first. ✅ Checking the ingredients is essential: Choose a 99-100% pure xylitol product free of other sugars or acidic ingredients, and consume it 3 to 5 times a day. ✅ The truly perfect prevention is regular checkups: Just as important as the dedication to taking xylitol is detecting invisible, microscopic cavities at an early stage. In particular, our children's primary teeth have a thinner outer surface (enamel) compared to permanent teeth, so if a cavity forms, it progresses to the nerve in an instant. Please maintain a healthy oral environment every day with xylitol candy, Please make sure to visit the dentist for a regular check-up every 3 to 6 months. The small habit of becoming familiar with the dentist is the surest shortcut to protecting your precious teeth that will last a lifetime.

정재욱 원장26.06.29Views 39Likes 3 [Health Column] Bleeding and Swollen Gums, Can They Be Cured with Medication? The Truth About Periodontal Disease Explained by a Doctor[3]
hello, Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic It is. 😊 You rush to the dentist when you get a cavity, but when your gums swell and bleed, you often casually dismiss it, thinking, "It's probably just because I'm tired," right? There are many people who manage by using toothpaste or nutritional supplements that are said to be good for their gums. However, periodontal disease is easy to neglect because its early symptoms are mild, but it is a frightening condition that can force you to extract entire healthy teeth if it worsens. 😱 Today, I will go over the three truths and key facts about periodontal disease that many people misunderstand! 1️⃣ Is the blood I see when brushing my teeth due to my condition? 👋 The obvious message from the gums 'Inflammation signals' It could be. It is true that when you are tired, your gums feel more swollen and bleed. However, the fundamental cause is not your condition, but the buildup between your teeth and gums 'Plaque' and 'Tartar' It is. ⚠️ It is a condition where tartar, a mass of bacteria, continuously irritates the gums and causes inflammation. If you have started bleeding while brushing your teeth, it is already the early stage of periodontal disease. 'gingivitis' This means it is in progress, so you must absolutely not neglect it! 💡"Bleeding gums are not a sign that you need to rest, but a sign that you need to visit the dentist to have tartar removed." 2️⃣ Can taking commercial gum supplements cure gum disease? 👋 Unfortunately, it is not cured. Nutritional supplements Supplements It is just work. Many people purchase gum supplements after seeing advertisements. While ingredients such as Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin C can help with gum health, it is impossible to dissolve existing tartar or treat periodontal disease itself. The root cause of periodontal disease is tartar. Tartar can only be removed through scaling at a dental clinic. Please keep in mind that nutritional supplements only play a 'supportive role' in maintaining healthy gums and are not a cure! 3️⃣ Does getting a scaling cause a lot of tooth wear? 👋 This is the most common misconception. Scaling is It never wears down your teeth. . The principle of scaling equipment is to use fine 'ultrasonic vibrations' to selectively remove only calcified tartar. There is no physical force strong enough to scrape away hard tooth enamel. There is a scientific reason for the discomfort you experience after the procedure. My teeth are sensitive As tartar strips away its thick layer, the tooth nerves have become temporarily sensitive to temperature changes. It will disappear soon, so please don't worry! Gaps form between my teeth. The tooth did not dissolve; rather, the space was exposed as the plaque that had filled it was removed. This is not what happened because of scaling, but the true appearance of my gums. 4️⃣ What happens when you identify the stage of periodontal disease? 👋 Periodontal disease strikes silently Silent disease no see. Stage 1 (Gingivitis) : A condition where inflammation is limited to the outer surface of the gums. Although the gums retract, 100% recovery is possible with scaling alone. ✔️ Stage 2 (Periodontitis) : Inflammation has progressed to the gum bone (alveolar bone). Bad breath has become severe, and the gums have receded. From this stage on, precise gum treatment is necessary. 🔶 3 Stage (end-stage periodontitis) The gum bone has completely eroded, causing the teeth to loosen. At this stage, it is difficult to save the teeth, and eventually, implants are required. 🔺 ❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Does rinsing your mouth with salt water cure gum disease? A. While it may have a temporary sterilizing effect, it cannot remove tartar. In fact, please be careful, as high-concentration salt water can damage the oral mucosa, cause dry mouth, and worsen inflammation! Q2. How often should I get scaling? A. Generally, we recommend once or twice a year. However, smokers, coffee drinkers, and people with diabetes tend to accumulate plaque faster, so it is advisable to receive care every 3 to 6 months. 🗓️ Q3. Does having diabetes worsen gum disease? A. Yes, they are very closely related! Diabetic patients have lower resistance to gum bacteria, making their risk of developing periodontal disease up to three times higher. Regular gum care is essential, especially for those with diabetes. 🎯 Conclusion: The easiest way to keep a smile for a lifetime While cavities can be treated and filled or crowned, gum bone that has eroded away does not grow back. 🚫 The only way to keep my gums healthy is Regular dental visits no see. Do not ignore the small signals your gums are sending right now (bleeding, swelling). You can protect your precious natural teeth simply by getting a scaling at least once every six months. 😊 Dr. Jae-wook Jeong, Chief Director of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Ministry of Health and Welfare specialist in Prosthodontics Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Internship at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Sinchon; completed residency in Prosthodontics.

View moreThe most common concern before double eyelid surgery: Buried Suture Method vs. Incisional Method—which method is right for me?[4]
hello! Director Kim So-young of View Plastic Surgery no see. ✨ When conducting consultations for double eyelid surgery, there is a common question that patients ask most frequently. as soon as " Doctor, should I have the buried suture method or the incision method? It's a question about... 💬 If you look at reviews on the internet or social media, you will find many comments saying that "the buried suture method is natural and recovery is fast," and "the incisional method creates a distinct line that lasts a long time." However, when you are actually facing your own surgery, it is only natural to feel even more confused and worried about which choice is right. 🤔 So today, I will explain the real differences between the buried suture method and the incisional method—which many of you lose sleep worrying about—and pinpoint the key points in an easy-to-understand way to help you figure out which method is the perfect fit for your eyes! 👇 1️⃣ My friend became beautiful with the buried suture method, so why do I have to have the incisional method? This is one of the stories I hear very often in the counseling room. There are people who express disappointment, asking, "My friend's results turned out incredibly natural with the buried suture method, so why do you recommend the incisional method for me?" 🥲 However, double eyelid surgery is The surgical method varies completely depending strictly on the individual's eye structure. 👁️ The thickness of the eyelid skin, the amount of fat, the degree of skin sagging, and the strength of the muscles that open the eyes—such diverse and complex factors must be considered comprehensively. Therefore, even with the same monolid eyes, some people achieve perfect results with the buried suture method alone, while others require the incisional method to obtain satisfactory results that do not come undone. 👍 Rather than blindly following others' reviews or surgical methods, it is most important to have your eye condition accurately diagnosed by a specialist. ✨ 2️⃣ Who is the perfect fit for the buried suture method for natural-looking eyes? A method that promotes natural and rapid recovery by tying through small holes without incising the skin! The buried suture method is a surgical technique that creates a tight double eyelid line using medical sutures by making tiny holes instead of directly incising the skin. 🧵 Since it doesn't involve a scalpel, it has the strong advantage of relatively less swelling and a noticeably shorter recovery period. 🚀 📌 I highly recommend the buried suture method to these people! ✅ Those with naturally thin eyelid skin ✅ For those who do not have much fat on their eyelids ✅ Those who do not have severe skin sagging ✅ For those who want natural lines that look like their own, without any signs of surgery ⚠️ Recently, with the remarkable advancement of medical technology, the retention of the buried suture method has also become much stronger compared to the past. However, please keep in mind that if you have particularly thick skin or a significant amount of fat that protrudes noticeably, there is a relatively higher possibility that the lines may gradually weaken or loosen over time. 💡 3️⃣ Is the incisional method always artificial and very obvious that I've had plastic surgery? How to neatly smooth out thick skin and fat to achieve sharp and defined lines! Many people get scared just by hearing the word "incision method." It is because of the worry, "What if I get an incision and it looks too artificial, like sausage eyes?" 😢 It is true that in the past, there was a strong perception that incisional surgery invariably resulted in thick, prominent lines. but Recently, it is possible to design naturally to suit an individual's overall eye condition and desired needs. 🎨 The incisional method is a technique that creates a double eyelid by making an incision in the skin and neatly trimming any unnecessary fat or sagging tissue inside the eyelid. 📌 The incisional method is much more advantageous for these people! ✅ For those with firm and thick eyelid skin ✅ For those with excess fat on their eyelids ✅ For those who want clearer and more distinct lines without a blurry look 4️⃣ How much difference is there in the realistic recovery period after surgery? The point that those balancing work or studies are most realistically curious about is the 'recovery period'. 🗓️ In terms of general outcomes, the buried suture method certainly results in less swelling and bruising compared to the incisional method, and allows for a faster return to daily life. However, recently, as surgical techniques and equipment for the incision method have advanced delicately, bleeding and damage are less compared to the past, significantly reducing the burden of recovery for patients. ✨ ⚠️ Wait a minute! The most important point: You should not hastily decide on a surgical method based solely on recovery speed, simply saying, "I have to go to work early, so I'll definitely go with the buried suture method." 🙅 This is because choosing the standard method best suited to your eye structure, even if it takes a few extra days for recovery, is the surest way to prevent revision surgery and maximize satisfaction in the long run. ❔ FAQ: Top 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Double Eyelid Surgery Q1. Won't surgery using the incisional method leave unsightly scars on the eyes? 😢 A1. This is the part you fear the most before surgery. In the early stages after surgery, there may be some redness along the incision line or it may look like a scar, but in most cases, it gradually fades and becomes natural as time passes and the skin heals. Best of all, when your eyes are open, the scar tucks right inside the crease of your double eyelid and is hidden, so it isn't as noticeable as you might think; you don't need to worry too much! 🥰 Q2. If I have the first surgery done with an incision, is it impossible to get revision surgery later? 😰 A2. Absolutely not! Just because the first surgery was performed using the incisional method does not mean that future revision surgery is fundamentally impossible. 🙅 However, eye revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery because it requires precise calculation of much more complex and diverse factors, such as the condition of existing tissue and scar tissue. That is why To ensure a good start, it is best to determine the surgical method that is perfect for you through sufficient diagnosis and consultation from the beginning. 📌 Q3. If I am older, is the buried suture method unavailable and only the incisional method is possible? 👵 A3. No, that is also one of the common misconceptions! When deciding on a surgical method, the age figure itself is not an absolute criterion. What matters is not age, but the current degree of skin sagging and the condition of my eyelid muscles. 👁️ Even if you are in your 30s or 40s or older, if the skin around your eyes is not severely sagging and has elasticity, the buried suture method is often sufficient. Conversely, even if you are in your fresh 20s, if your eyelid skin is very thick and there is excessive fat, we may recommend the incisional method. ✨ 💡 Conclusion: Ultimately, the most perfect answer is 'the choice that suits my eyes' It cannot be concluded that either the buried suture method or the incisional method is absolutely superior or better. 🙅 Because the buried suture method has its own light and natural charm, while the incisional method has the distinct advantage of a clear and precise correction effect unique to itself. What is truly important is to avoid blindly chasing trendy eye shapes or hearsay about acquaintances or famous celebrities succeeding using a particular method. 🚫 You must find the perfect answer that fits exactly your unique eye structure, skin thickness, fat volume, and the balance of the image you ultimately desire. 🎯 ✨ Double eyelid surgery is not simply a procedure of drawing a single line on the eyelid; it is a delicate process that balances the entire eye shape to maximize one's impression and charm. . 👁️✨ There is no single correct answer to the dilemma of "Should I use the buried suture method or the incision method?" I hope you find skilled medical professionals who can thoroughly analyze your eye condition, undergo sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis, and choose the most suitable method to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. 💕 View Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kim So-young Master of Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine Doctor of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University College of Medicine Graduate School Completed residency in Plastic Surgery at Samsung Seoul Hospital Lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Anti-aging Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Training in Plastic Surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA
김소영 원장26.06.29Views 23Likes 3 From lifting procedures to incisional surgery, a comprehensive guide to the right lifting type for you and its side effects![3]
hello! Dr. Han Kyu-nam, Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic It is. ✨ Skin sagging naturally comes with aging—it’s upsetting every time you look in the mirror, isn't it, to just brush it off by saying, "Everyone does it"? 🥲 To ensure safe plastic surgery procedures and surgeries, today we have prepared the first session on 'Creating a Proper Plastic Surgery Culture,' which is essential from the perspective of consumers and customers! I am going to explain the lifting procedures that so many of you are curious about in great detail and with honesty. 👇 1️⃣ What is non-surgical lifting (EBD/thread lifting) and what are its characteristics? ✨ Everything about non-surgical lifting that simply tightens sagging tissue without a scalpel! 🔸 Energy-based device (EBD) lifting If facial sagging is not severe, devices such as radio frequency (Thermage) or ultrasound (Ulthera) are primarily used. 🔥 Just like meat shrinks when grilled, this method induces tightening by applying heat around the SMAS layer deep within the skin using different principles! Recently, a wide variety of equipment has been developed, including devices utilizing microwaves similar in principle to microwave ovens; these are collectively referred to as EBDs (Energy Based Devices). Depending on the device, the cost can be as high as surgery, making it less cost-effective, so you should be cautious. However, there is a definite advantage in that the recovery period is short, allowing you to manage the procedure discreetly while going about your daily life. 🔸 Thread Lifting It is a representative procedure with a low barrier to entry, in addition to EBD. It is a method that involves inserting threads of various shapes and materials into the skin and physically pulling them up. They are broadly divided into dissolvable and non-dissolvable threads. • Non-dissolving threads: They last a little longer, but the difference isn't huge. Above all, the psychological burden of knowing they remain in the body for a lifetime is significant. • Dissolvable threads (PDO): Currently the most commonly used material, it takes about 6 to 8 months to break down in the body. 📌 It has excellent biocompatibility, so you can rest assured that it rarely causes problems or inflammation on its own inside the body. "In that case, are there absolutely no side effects with non-surgical lifting?" ⚠️ Just because there is no incision does not mean the risk of side effects is 0%! • Cases of EBD side effects: You may have occasionally seen unfortunate news articles about patients suffering facial burns after undergoing the procedure under general anesthesia. Additionally, cases frequently occur where patients complain that their face looks more saggy because they have lost weight after the procedure, as the fat layer surrounding the targeted SMAS is affected. • Examples of thread lifting side effects: Since sagging tissue is only moved upward without being cut away, the lower skin may accumulate near the cheekbones, temporarily making the face appear wider. If the threads are too close to the skin, they may cause skin indentations (ding-up) or adhesions. 2️⃣ What is the principle behind incisional lifting (facelift/mini-facelift), and what are the precautions? ✨ The truth about incisional lifting and mini-lifting that effectively cut away sagging skin and pull it up! 🔸 Representative surgery, facelift It is literally a surgery where the skin is directly incised, pulled up, the excess flesh is completely cut away, and then sutured. Typically, a long incision is used that starts at the hairline near the temple, wraps around the front and back of the ear, and connects. There are exactly two key keywords for a facelift! ① SMAS layer: A major structure located inside the skin that must be pulled ② Retaining ligament: An obstruction that must be severed because it hinders tissue movement In other words, the principle is to completely loosen the retaining ligaments that hinder facial movement and then strongly pull the SMAS layer to move the sagging skin back to its original youthful position. With the recent advancement of plastic surgery anatomy, various surgical methods have emerged. Currently, the mainstream trend in facelift surgery is the 'Deep Plane Facelift,' which has many advantages as it significantly reduces the scope of subcutaneous dissection. 🔸 The Truth Behind Confusing Mini-Lifts (Mini-Facelifts) It is popular due to the perception that "an incision is made, but simply," but in reality, it is the area that patients find most confusing because there is no precise medical definition or consensus. • General method: A small incision is usually made inside the temple hairline, and the skin beneath is narrowly dissected (subcutaneous dissection). • ⚠️ Honest Comparison of Effects: While the effects may last slightly longer than thread lifting, they fall far short of the results of a traditional facelift. This is because mini-lifts generally cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only partially release the retaining ligaments. • ✔️ Important Checkpoint: Even if different hospitals use the same name, 'Mini Lifting,' the location of the incision and the extent of dissection vary completely. Generally, the longer the incision and the wider the dissection area, the more certain the results can be expected, so you must confirm the dissection area during the consultation. ❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Why do so many people say they lost facial fat after receiving an energy-based device (EBD) lift? A1. A layer of fat is located around the SMAS layer, which is targeted by high-frequency or ultrasound energy. If this fatty area is affected by the energy during the procedure, its volume decreases, which may make it appear visually slimmer or more saggy. Q2. Can my cheekbones look bigger after a thread lift? A2. Yes, this is a phenomenon that can certainly occur. Thread lifting is a procedure that pulls and moves excess skin or soft tissue upward, rather than cutting it away. Therefore, if the volume that was sagging downwards is pushed toward the cheekbones, the face may momentarily appear wider. Q3. Is there a significant difference in effectiveness between a mini-lift and a facelift? A3. Yes, there is a significant difference. Mini-lifting involves a small incision and a narrow dissection range, so it cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only release a portion of the retaining ligaments. On the other hand, a full facelift utilizes extensive dissection to thoroughly release the retaining ligaments and fundamentally tighten the SMAS layer, resulting in a different depth of effect. 🎯 Conclusion Lifting is broadly divided into EBD lifting using equipment, thread lifting using threads, and incision lifting (facelift and mini-facelift) which involves cutting and removing the skin. Even non-incisional procedures can result in side effects such as burns, sunken cheeks, or enlarged cheekbones, and the scope of mini-lifting varies widely from hospital to hospital. Every patient has a different facial structure, and soft tissue conditions, such as the skin and SMAS layer, vary completely. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to blindly insist on a specific surgery simply because you heard, "This surgical method is the trend these days." Please be sure to find the best method for your face through an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience. 🩺 Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Han Gyu-nam Graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine Master's degree from Seoul National University College of Medicine Plastic Surgery Resident at Seoul National University Hospital Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Association of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Anti-aging Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Breast Reconstruction Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Botox, Filler, and Thread Research Group Subcommittee Member of the Future Committee of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons MINT global key doctor Elasticum Advisory Board MENTOR Young Leader 17 years of experience in lifting procedures Possesses numerous cases in the field of incisional lifting Current Chief Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic
한규남 원장26.06.24Views 77Likes 2 Breast Augmentation Satisfaction: Why Implant Size Isn't Everything![3]
Hello! This is Dr. Choi Soon-woo, Representative Director of View Plastic Surgery. 👋 When many people consider breast augmentation surgery, they often focus on concerns such as, "What type of implant should I use?", "How large should I make the size?", and "Where should the incision be made so that it is not noticeable?" 💡 Of course, these factors are very important, but the key to determining the true satisfaction felt long after surgery is actually hidden elsewhere! Then why on earth do some people get extremely satisfied with surgery using the exact same implants, while others are considering revision surgery? The results of breast augmentation surgery are not simply determined in a single moment on the day of the surgery. This is because patient satisfaction is determined by the entire process, from precise pre-operative examinations to regular post-operative care. Today, I will explain in simple terms why a systematic approach is so important! ✨ 1️⃣ The beginning of breast augmentation satisfaction, ' Collaborative system of specialist doctors Why is this necessary? It starts with a perfect fit for your body, safety, and the teamwork of our doctors! Breast augmentation is absolutely not a one-dimensional surgery that simply involves cutting the skin and popping an implant in. Everyone has a different shape of breastbone, and the size of the rib cage, skin thickness, and even the amount of mammary gland tissue is all different! Therefore, the expertise of medical staff capable of analyzing the patient's body from various angles and a collaborative system are essential. 🩺 plastic surgeon We clearly understand the aesthetic needs of the patient! ✨ We design the most harmonious lines and textures for your body shape and perform surgery with precision. 🩺 Radiology & Breast Surgery Specialist We analyze the internal chest structure with great accuracy before and after surgery! 🔍 It establishes an anatomical foundation to enable safe surgery by identifying potential tumors or diseases in advance. 🩺 Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Specialist Since breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, this is really important! ⚠️ You must ensure that a board-certified anesthesiologist is stationed at the hospital to provide dedicated anesthesia care, from pre-operative evaluation to intraoperative monitoring and post-operative recovery. 💡 Wait a minute! As such, you must choose a hospital where specialists in plastic surgery, radiology, breast surgery, and anesthesiology and pain medicine are stationed in one place and collaborate closely to thoroughly prevent variables that may occur during surgery and expect perfect results that achieve both aesthetics and health. 2️⃣ Why before and after surgery ' breast examination Do I absolutely have to receive '? The absolute prerequisite for beautiful breasts is a 'healthy breast condition'! One aspect that many people surprisingly overlook when considering breast augmentation is 'breast examinations'. No matter how satisfactory the surgical results may look on the surface, if the procedure was performed without properly checking the internal condition of the breast, it can never be considered a successful surgery. 🩺 🔸 The Importance of Pre-operative Examinations You must check in advance through breast ultrasound or imaging to ensure there are no abnormalities within the breast, such as benign tumors (lumps) or microcalcifications. If implants are inserted without detecting any underlying conditions, treatment or regular follow-up care can become very difficult later on! ⚠️ 🔸 The Importance of Regular Checkups After Surgery Care does not end just because the surgery is over. It is essential for safety to undergo regular follow-up monitoring to check for any implant rupture, warning signs of capsular contracture (hardening of the breast), or the development of new conditions in the mammary gland tissue surrounding the implant. Therefore, if you are considering breast augmentation, it is advisable to check if the hospital systematically operates a lifetime check-up system, including not only pre-operative examinations but also post-operative check-ups. 3️⃣ Enhancing the perfection of breast surgery ' Premium after-sales service system What is Iran? The texture, shape, and depth of the scar depend on how it is managed after leaving the operating room. Breast augmentation doesn't end the moment you walk out of the operating room! This is because the skin-like texture, natural appearance, and depth of the scar can vary completely depending on how you receive aftercare. To prevent potential side effects during the recovery process and maximize satisfaction, a systematic after-treatment program is essential. ✨ ✔️ Scar Care To prevent keloids or deep scars from forming at the incision site, customized laser treatment and scar ointment care must be meticulously carried out at regular intervals. ✔️ Instructions on wearing shaping bras In the early stages after surgery, the implants must be properly positioned. To prevent the so-called "upper bulge" phenomenon, where the implants are pushed upward, patients must receive thorough instructions on how to wear a compression bra tailored to their individual body shape. ✔️ Utilizing Premium Recovery Equipment Capsulitis management to prevent 'capsular contracture,' known as the greatest enemy of breast augmentation, and promote blood circulation! Check to see if professional recovery systems are equipped, such as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that supplies high-concentration oxygen to the body to promote cell regeneration and rapidly reduce swelling and pain! 💬 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. When can I start exercising after breast augmentation surgery? A1. Daily activities such as light walks can be resumed relatively quickly, but upper body exercises using chest muscles or high-intensity weight training may require restriction for a certain period. Since recovery speeds vary significantly by individual, it is safest to determine the timing of exercise in consultation with medical professionals during regular checkups. Q2. Which method is better, an axillary incision or an inframammary fold incision? A2. Both methods have clear advantages and disadvantages, so I cannot say which one is unconditionally better. The axillary incision has the advantage of not leaving a direct scar on the chest area, while the inframammary fold incision is characterized by easy visibility during surgery, allowing for more precise and delicate surgery. Most importantly, the key is to select the most suitable method by comprehensively considering the patient's original breast shape, skin condition, and other factors. 😊 Q3. Can I receive breast cancer screenings normally after breast augmentation surgery? A3. Yes, of course! You can receive regular checkups, such as breast ultrasounds and mammograms, without any problems even after breast augmentation. However, you must inform the medical staff in advance whether you have had breast implants inserted before the examination, and it can be much more helpful to be examined by medical professionals with extensive experience in breast implant screenings. 🩺 🔸 Conclusion: How to Make the Right Choice for Lifelong Satisfaction Breast augmentation surgery is not merely about increasing visible volume. The truly successful outcome is maintaining a beautiful shape and soft texture healthily for a lifetime, without worrying about side effects. ✨ ✅ A precise collaborative system among Plastic Surgery, Radiology, Breast Surgery, and Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine ✅ Thorough and systematic breast examinations covering before and after surgery ✅ Premium aftercare that prevents side effects (such as capsular contracture) and accelerates recovery Only when all these safety mechanisms and care programs mesh organically like gears can the safe and satisfying results you have dreamed of be realized. 🥰 ⚠️ A One-Line Guide to Careful Selection As this is an important lifelong choice for my precious body, rather than being swayed by simple low costs or temporary trends, ' Is it a systematic hospital that can take responsibility for the health and safety of my chest from start to finish?

최순우 원장26.06.23Views 66Likes 3 CoolSculpting accessory breast treatment, a method to improve underarm fat without incisions[4]
Hello, this is Dr. Woo Eun-kyung from Jongno Le Miel Plastic Surgery. If you have hesitated to wear sleeveless tops or swimsuits because of the bulges of fat around your armpits whenever you choose clothes, I fully understand how you feel. You must have been frustrated because no matter how much you dieted or exercised consistently, that particular area showed no change. ⚠️ Actually, this concern may not be simply due to excess fat. This is because the cause of accessory breasts differs fundamentally from that of ordinary fat, making it difficult to resolve through lifestyle changes alone. Today, I will provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the reasons why accessory breasts develop and the CoolSculpting procedure, which is accessible without incisions, focusing on practical information. What is an accessory breast? Accessory breasts refer to residual breast tissue remaining in or around the armpit in addition to normal breast tissue. Medically, it is called 'polymastia,' and it often occurs when the mammary ridge does not completely degenerate during fetal development. Underarm accessory breasts may appear to protrude when the arms are lowered or look like flesh is being pushed out beyond the bra line, and may be accompanied by skin sagging and pigmentation. Key characteristics of accessory breasts 📌 Occurs in various locations such as the armpits, sides of the chest, abdomen, and groin 📌 Size may change during the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 📌 May cause pain or discomfort 📌 Occurs rarely in men as well as women Why do accessory breasts develop? The causes of accessory breasts are broadly divided Innate factors class Acquired factors It is divided into. Innate factors Incomplete degeneration of the mammary ridge during the fetal stage genetic predisposition Residual hormone-sensitive tissue Acquired factors Weight gain and body fat accumulation Hormonal changes after pregnancy and childbirth Incorrect posture and underwear wearing habits What is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is FDA-approved Cryolipolysis It is a technology that utilizes the principle that fat cells selectively die at low temperatures of -5 to 5°C, without affecting surrounding skin, muscle, or nerve tissues. Over the course of about 2 to 3 months after the procedure, the dead fat cells are naturally expelled through the lymphatic system, and the volume of the treated area gradually decreases. Key Benefits of CoolSculpting ✔ No scars due to non-surgical and non-incisional procedure ✔ Procedure takes 35–60 minutes, allowing for immediate return to daily activities. ✔ Once dead, fat cells do not regenerate ✔ Can be applied to small areas such as armpits, flanks, and thighs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. Do I have to have surgery if I have accessory breasts? That is not necessarily the case. Fatty accessory breasts can be improved through non-surgical methods such as CoolSculpting. However, if mammary gland tissue is involved, it is recommended to consult a specialist to determine whether surgery is necessary. Q. When do the effects of CoolSculpting start to appear? Changes begin to be felt 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure, and the final results can be confirmed approximately 2 to 3 months later. This may vary depending on individual metabolic rate. Q. Is CoolSculpting possible for underarm accessory breasts? Yes, it is possible. Using an underarm-specific applicator allows for effective treatment even in narrow areas. However, a preliminary evaluation is required as the effectiveness may vary depending on the proportion of mammary gland tissue within the accessory breast. Q. Are there any precautions after the procedure? Temporary redness, swelling, and decreased sensation may occur immediately after the procedure, but most recover within a few days. Adequate hydration and light aerobic exercise after the procedure help with fat elimination. In conclusion Underarm accessory breasts are a concern for many people, yet it is difficult to readily visit a hospital for treatment. However, significant improvement is possible with accurate identification of the cause and the selection of the appropriate procedure. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical option that is particularly effective for fatty accessory breasts, and it is preferred by many due to its quick return to daily life. We recommend that you make a decision after consulting thoroughly with a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.
