조진우 원장26.04.08Views 27459Likes 1 [Health Column] Why Upper Eyelid Surgery Isn't Alone for Middle-Aged Eyelid Surgery? Criteria for Combining Forehead Lift Surgery[8]
hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. Many people tend to think that the eye changes in middle age, such as drooping eyelids, making the eyelids look heavy and blurry, are just a problem with the eyelids. 👀 But in reality, it is often a complex change that extends to the eyebrows and forehead. For this reason, if upper eyelid surgery is performed alone, there may be situations where the results are different from what was expected. Today, I'll explain, from a structural perspective, why forehead augmentation is often considered in middle-aged eye surgery.✨ Isn't middle-aged eye aging just a problem with the 'eyelids'? 🟢Sagging eyelids are often accompanied by drooping eyebrows and forehead. Sagging upper eyelids after the age of 40 or 50 is not simply a problem of excess skin. It is accompanied by complex changes including loss of eyelid skin elasticity, relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle, drooping of the eyebrows, and relaxation of the forehead soft tissue. That is, it is not just the eyelids that are drooping. A condition where the eyebrows and forehead are lowered together This is often the case. 💡Example: The habit of opening your eyes with your forehead tense, with your eyelids looking heavy. 🎯 It is important to evaluate not only the eyelids but also the eyebrow position and forehead sagging. Why can removing a lot of skin during upper eyelid surgery be problematic? 🟢Excessive restraint can cause changes in impression and tense eyes. The purpose of upper eyelid surgery is to improve vision and correct facial expressions. Skin in middle-aged patients Excessive removal underneath This may result in a decrease in the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, as well as a change in the appearance of the face. Also, as the eyelids become hypertonic, Opening your eyes may further increase forehead compensation. 💡Example situation When only a large amount of skin is removed while the eyebrows have already fallen down → The eyebrow position appears relatively lower, creating an unnatural impression. ⚠️ Caution! Simply “removing a lot” does not always lead to good results. Why is forehead augmentation surgery often considered together? 🟢This is an approach to reposition structural causes (eyebrow and forehead drooping). Forehead augmentation is not simply a surgery to smooth out wrinkles. Surgery to reposition the lowered eyebrows and forehead soft tissues to their anatomical positions no see. Through this ✔️ Natural eyebrow lift ✔️ Normalize the distance between the eyebrows and eyes ✔️ Prevent excessive skin excision You can expect the same effect. In other words, a “cut less and make it more natural” approach becomes possible. Do all middle-aged patients need forehead lift surgery? 🟢The parallel operation will vary depending on whether the eyebrows are lowered or not. Not all middle-aged patients need forehead lift surgery. However, in the following cases, parallelism is actively considered: 🔸 If eyebrow sagging is evident 🔸 If you have a lot of forehead compensation wrinkles 🔸 If you feel a lot of tension in your forehead when opening your eyes 🔸 If the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is already narrow In these situations, upper eyelid surgery alone may actually worsen the outcome. 💡Simple self-check example If your eyes feel more comfortable when you slightly lift your eyebrows with your hand → It is likely that the cause is sagging eyebrows. What is the most important principle in middle-aged eye surgery? 🟢The key is to ‘reposition the sagging structure’ rather than the amount of excision. The key to middle-aged eye surgery is It's not about how much you remove, It's all about how you rearrange the sagging structure. Because the eyelids are part of the upper part of the face It should be judged in the balance of the entire upper face, including the forehead and eyebrows. You can expect natural and stable results. 👉 It is important to evaluate the entire upper face, not just the eyelids. FAQ Q1. Will my appearance look unnatural after surgery? A1. Excessive excision may cause the eyes to appear sunken or asymmetry, and excessive pulling may give a surprised impression. Q2. How long is the recovery period and return to normal daily life? A2. Bruising and swelling will subside in about 1 to 2 weeks, and it will take about 7 to 10 days to return to normal daily life. It may take 1 to 3 months for the condition to return to normal. Q3. Which surgery is right for me, upper eyelid surgery or forehead lift? A3. In cases where the eyelid skin is sagging, upper eyelid surgery is considered, and in cases where the eyebrows have fallen and are covering the eyes, forehead lifting surgery is considered. Conclusion ✨ The success of middle-aged eye surgery Rather than “how much restraint did you have” It depends on how accurately the cause of the sagging was corrected. ✨ ✔️ We evaluate not only the eyelids but also the eyebrow position and forehead sagging. ✔️ A structurally balanced approach is more important than excessive moderation. ✔️ Customized consultation is required based on individual anatomical condition. If your eyes feel heavy and you have to open them with your forehead Not just a simple upper eyelid surgery It's a good idea to consult with a specialist for a comprehensive upper facial evaluation. 👀 Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su Graduated from Korea University College of Medicine Graduated from Korea University Graduate School (Plastic Surgery major) Korea University Medical Center Resident Plastic Surgery Specialist at National Medical Center Former Director of Jewelry Plastic Surgery 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 Craniofacial Society Regular member of the Facial Contour Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group See more expert columns from Dr. Baek In-su of Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic.

백인수 원장26.02.24Views 382Likes 3 [Health Column] Horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose and drooping eyelids, why do they occur together? The solution is 'forehead lift'! ✨[6]
hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. Have you ever been worried about sagging upper eyelids, only to be flustered when you suddenly discovered deep horizontal wrinkles etched on the bridge of your nose? They seem like concerns about completely different body parts, but in fact, these two are Descent of forehead tissue It is often a concern that originates from a single root. Today, let's explore the root cause of that heavy expression and how to solve it together! 🫧 Why do drooping eyelids and wrinkles on the bridge of the nose always appear as a set? ? 🟢 This is because the forehead tissue, pulled down by gravity, causes the structure around the eyes to collapse. Over time, facial tissues lose elasticity and gradually sag downward due to the influence of gravity. In particular, when the forehead and eyebrows sag downward, the skin of the upper eyelids overlaps, eyelid drooping This appears. The problem doesn't end here! When our vision is obstructed by drooping eyelids, we unconsciously try to open our eyes wide. Repeatedly use the forehead and glabella muscles You will end up doing it. In this process Horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose It is about settling deeply. 💡 It is easier to understand if you think of it not simply as a problem with the eyelids, but as a 'chain reaction' starting from the forehead! What exactly is the role of a forehead lift? ? 🟢 It restores sagging forehead and eyebrows to their original positions, improving the fundamental structure. . Forehead lifting is not simply a surgery to pull the skin. The goal is to restore balance to the upper face by entirely rearranging the tissue layers supporting the forehead and eyebrows. • Natural improvement : When the eyebrows are raised, the overlapping eyelids naturally spread out. ✨ • Muscle tension relief : You no longer need to overuse your forehead muscles to open your eyes. • Wrinkle reduction : As muscle overuse is reduced, you can expect the horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows to soften. What is the right forehead lift method for me? ? 🟢 The incision method varies depending on the individual forehead width and problem areas. To achieve natural and long-lasting effects, you must move the muscles and soft tissues together, rather than simply tightening the skin. 🔹 Endoscopic forehead lift : We make only a small incision inside the scalp and use an endoscope to precisely dissect and fix the tissue. 🔹 Incisional forehead lift : It is a method of making an incision along the hairline or scalp to directly pull and fix the tissue. 🔹 Hairline correction combined : If you are concerned about a wide forehead, the hairline position is adjusted simultaneously with the forehead lift. What changes can I expect after a forehead lift? ? 🟢 You can achieve not only distinct eyes but also an overall soft and bright impression. ✔️ Droopy eyebrows are lifted, making the heavy eye look refreshing. ✔️ The habit of tensing your forehead to open your eyes is corrected, and forehead wrinkles are alleviated. 📌 ✔️ Reduced tension on the glabella and bridge of the nose improves horizontal wrinkles. ✔️ It has the effect of making the overall impression clearer and brighter. ⚠️ However, please keep in mind that the degree of improvement may vary depending on skin elasticity and individual structure! Are there any precautions or side effects for a forehead lift? ? 🟢 As with all surgeries, changes during the recovery process and skilled diagnosis are essential. ! 📍 recovery process : Swelling and bruising may persist for about 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. 📍 sensory change : The sensation in the forehead or scalp may be temporarily dulled, but in most cases, it recovers over time. 📍 Medical staff The importance of : Caution is required, as asymmetry or excessive elevation may occur if the medical team lacks surgical experience. Thinking that "simply having eye surgery will solve everything" can be dangerous. This is because if the cause lies in the forehead, eyelid surgery alone may not yield satisfactory results. Who do you recommend a forehead lift to? ? 🟢 If you are having these concerns, a forehead lift can be an effective alternative! ✅ Suitable cases • Those whose eyelids and eyebrows have sagged simultaneously • Those whose wrinkles deepen due to the habit of opening their eyes using their forehead muscles • Those who repeatedly develop horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose or between the eyebrows • Those who are concerned about their eyes looking dull and their impression looking heavy ⚠️ Cases requiring caution • Cases where only the eyelid skin itself is stretched (upper blepharoplasty may be more suitable) • Those with severe chronic diseases or hemorrhagic disorders • Those with unrealistic expectations regarding the surgical outcome FAQ Q1. Does the horizontal wrinkle on the bridge of the nose definitely improve as well? A1. Yes, in many cases, it improves! The principle is that wrinkles are naturally alleviated as the habit of excessively tensing the muscles around the nose when opening the eyes disappears. However, deep wrinkles may require additional care. Q2. I'm worried that I'll have a lot of scars after the surgery. A2. Most incisions are made inside the scalp or along the hairline, so they are not easily visible from the outside. Although there are variations depending on individual constitution and care, the surgery is performed in a way that minimizes the burden of scarring. Q3. Do the effects last a lifetime? A3. Forehead lifting improves structural causes, so the effects last for a relatively long time. However, since the aging process continues even after surgery, some changes may appear after a very long time. Conclusion ✨ Forehead lift It is a surgery that goes beyond simple cosmetic purposes to harmoniously improve functional discomfort of the eyes and the overall impression. Do not view drooping eyelids and wrinkles on the bridge of the nose as separate issues, Approach based on the entire upper facial structure Doing so can be a fundamental solution. ✨ Accurate diagnosis comes first. : It is important to distinguish whether the cause is the eyelids or the eyebrows. ✨ Selecting skilled medical staff : Consult with an expert who has a good understanding of facial anatomy. ✨ natural impression : It is better to plan within a range that suits you rather than being overly ambitious.

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Because it makes your face look long Have you ever considered double jaw surgery? In fact, when I consult with people, many of them ask, “Is double jaw surgery the answer for a long face?” but When it comes to long face plastic surgery, it is most important to first determine the cause of the long face. Because the surgical method needed can be completely different depending on which part of the face appears longer. today In what cases is long face/long chin surgery necessary, and when is bimaxillary surgery necessary? Let me explain with a real-life example. ✨ How do you judge a long face? ? 📌 Face length is determined by the 'ratio of thirds' . The human face can be broadly divided into three parts. ✔️ Upper face: Forehead ~ eyebrows ✔️ Midface: Eyebrows ~ tip of nose ✔️ Lower face: Tip of nose ~ tip of chin Usually these three sections A natural and harmonious face with balanced proportions It appears to be. But if one part of this gets too long, An impression that makes the entire face look longer This can happen. for example If the distance from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose is long → A face with a long midface If the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin is long → A face with a long lower face like Depending on where you are looking, the solution will vary. 📌 So, in long face plastic surgery, An accurate diagnosis of where the length appears to be long is most important. If I have a long face, do I absolutely need double jaw surgery? ? 📌 If the midface is long, double jaw surgery may be necessary. . From eyebrow to tip of nose If the midface is long In the figure below, marked in red maxilla Reduce the length of Double jaw surgery There are times when this is necessary. Especially when you laugh If you see a lot of teeth When the gums are excessively exposed The position and length of the upper jaw can have an effect. But there is an important point. Through double jaw surgery Bone length can be reduced, but There are limits to changing the position of the nose or the soft tissue itself. in other words ✔ Bone length may decrease ✔ The apparent mid-face length may not change significantly. so Not all long faces are candidates for bimaxillary surgery. ⚠️ Accurate judgment requires professional diagnosis. What kind of surgery is done to make the chin look longer? ? 📌 If the lower face is long, it can be improved with contouring surgery. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin A face with a long lower face If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. A typical method is Long curve resection, chin surgery no see. If the jawbone is greatly developed Reduce chin length Balance the lower jaw It can help alleviate the feeling of your face looking longer. As needed Perform square jaw surgery together underneath It can help create more natural facial proportions. How would actual long chin patient cases differ? ? 📌 This is a case where the facial proportions were improved by adjusting the balance between the chin length and the lower jaw. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin Haan-myeon Long face with a long beak If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. One patient was admitted to the hospital Considering double jaw surgery You were doing it. But the CT scan results The front chin is long The lower jaw was widely developed. In this case ✔ Long curve resection ✔ Lower jaw bone reduction (LBO) Through Direction to reduce the overall length of the lower jaw The surgery was performed. If you check the CT after surgery, The length of the front chin is reduced As the lower jaw becomes more balanced, I could see that the impression that the face was long had been greatly alleviated. 📌 It's not just about reducing the length It is important to consider both facial proportions and balance. What is the most important thing in long face surgery? ? 📌 What's more important than face length is 'proportion' . Many people Make your chin shorter, smaller I think it will be pretty if you make it. But the face eye, nose, chin, Each element It's important to strike a balance. for example Make the chin shorter unconditionally If you cut the bone like in a typical square jaw surgery, Rather, it may break the facial proportions. In this case ⚠️ If your face looks awkward ⚠️ In some cases, it may appear longer than before surgery. so In long face surgery, design that takes proportions into account is key. When we look at patients who come to check their progress after surgery, Than the face changed I feel like my expression has brightened There are many times when I receive it. Changes in appearance are important, but ✔ Confidence ✔ Change in facial expression There are also cases where you feel positive changes in the same area. Seeing this kind of sight makes me feel rewarded as a medical professional. 😊 FAQ ❓ Q1. Can a secondary angle develop after square jaw surgery? ? A1. If you perform square jaw surgery without chin surgery, an angle may develop at the starting point of the resection. If the secondary angle is not severe, it can be corrected with simple shaving. In severe cases, additional surgery may be required along with chin surgery. Q2. Can a long mid-face be corrected with contouring surgery? ? A2. In cases where the midface is long, bimaxillary surgery is often more effective. However, if there is no dental malocclusion and bimaxillary surgery is too risky, procedures such as philtrum reduction surgery may be considered. A more accurate assessment is best made through consultation following a CT scan. Q3. Can contouring surgery shave as much bone as desired? ? A3. Contouring surgery is not a procedure that allows you to freely shape the area as desired. The extent of resection is limited by the thickness of the cheekbones and the location of the mandibular nerve. Conclusion 🧾 In long face and long chin plastic surgery The most important thing is an accurate diagnosis. Because my face looks long ✔ It is not always necessary to have double jaw surgery ✔ It is not necessary to necessarily reduce the chin. 📌 Which part of the face makes it look longer? 📌 How to balance the overall proportions of the face These two things must be considered together. So if you are considering surgery ✨ First, you need to find the method that is right for you through a CT scan and accurate consultation. Also, rather than just listening to one opinion, It is recommended that you seek consultation from several hospitals and make a careful decision. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Severance Hospital Plastic Surgery Visiting Professor Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery regular member Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons regular member International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS) member Regular member of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons regular member Executive Director of the Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery Research Association Director of Hyun 3D Plastic Surgery Clinic Experience in facial contouring treatment 21 year

hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. As I get older, the face in the mirror It looks unusually long There are times when I feel that way. Especially after 50, it is not just a feeling of sagging, The impression of a sunken area between the eyes and cheeks, with the center of the face collapsed This stands out. In this column, 🔹 Key changes in mid-facial aging in your 50s 🔹 What is the principle behind the restoration of the SOOF lower eyelid surgery? Let me organize it calmly. I will explain focusing on the points that people actually worry about the most. Why does mid-face aging in the 50s appear as 'lengthening and sunken'? 🟢The core of mid-face aging in your 50s is not sagging, Vertical elongation and volume loss no see. So why does this change occur? 🔸 Three key causes ✔️ Relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle and supporting ligaments → The boundary between the lower eyelid and the midface collapses, making the area under the eyes appear longer. ✔️ Anterior protrusion and downward displacement of orbital fat → The area under the eyes becomes bulging and the cheeks underneath become relatively sunken. ✔️ Midfacial fat pad descent and reduced bone support → The volume of the front of the face is reduced, and the tear trough and starting point of the nasolabial fold are emphasized. Because of this ✔ The gap between the under-eye area and the cheek area is getting bigger ✔ The center of the face appears long and sunken ✔ Overall Old eyes and tired appearance This is formed. What is the concept of restoration in SOOF lower eyelid surgery? 🟢Not just removal An approach to reconnecting the structure no see. Spoo Haan Black Surgery to structurally restore aging of the lower eyelids and midface no see. 🔹 1. Conservative repositioning of orbital fat Protruding fat Without removing , To the tear trough and mid-face sunken area Advancement/Redeployment do. ✔ Naturally connects the volume between the under-eye area and the cheek ✔ Prevents excessive turning off and artificial impression 🔹 2. Orbicularis oculi muscle-midfacial complex elevation Relaxed orbicularis oculi muscle and mid-facial soft tissue Fixation in the superolateral direction do. ✔ Prevents lower eyelid sagging ✔ Restores the midface to look short and elastic This is not a simple skin excision, Functional and structural repositioning It corresponds to . 🔹 3. Visual shortening of the midface length Under-eye-cheek border Reset upward As it becomes ✔ The vertical length of the midface appears short ✔ Restores the impression of a condensed center of the face ✨ What changes can I expect with a Spu Haan eyelid lift? 🟢More than 'getting younger' Comfortable and stable impression change is the key. 🔸 Major changes to expect ✔ Reduces under-eye puffiness ✔ Improvement of tear troughs and dark circles ✔ Midfacial depression restoration ✔ Effect of shortening the vertical length of the midface ✔ Tired impression → Clear and stable impression Especially in the 50s Rather than “while” “You look healthier”, “Your impression has become more relaxed”, the changes are noticeable. Are there any post-operative procedures or precautions? 🟢It is important to know the recovery process and possible side effects in advance. 🔹 General postoperative course Pain: Mild (controllable with over-the-counter painkillers) Swelling: 1-2 weeks, residual swelling: 3-4 weeks Bruise: Varies from person to person 🔹 Possible side effects temporary conjunctival edema Left-right asymmetry (most improves during recovery) ⚠️ Risk of hallux valgus with excessive traction → Setting the correct fixed point is important FAQ Q1. What is the difference between Spoo lower eyelid surgery and regular lower eyelid surgery? A1. If the general lower eyelid surgery focuses on fat removal, the Spu lower eyelid surgery focuses on Preserve and redistribute the fat and restore the midface as well. The biggest difference is what you do. Q2. I had surgery under my eyes. Can the mid-face also improve? A2. It is possible. The lower eyelid and the midface are connected by the orbicularis oculi muscle and ligaments, so through suspension Visual improvement of the midface to make it look shorter and more elastic You can expect. Q3. If I don't remove the fat, won't it bulge again? A3. Properly redistributed fat is rather Role in filling sunken areas , and the likelihood of recurrence is low. Conclusion ✨ ✔ The key to mid-face aging in your 50s is Lengthening and sinking ✔ Spoo Haan Black Restructuring, not removal Surgery focused on ✔ The change in impression is more than ‘excessive age’ A comfortable and stable face However, aging continues, 📌 Results may vary depending on individual skin elasticity and lifestyle habits.

hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. If you are concerned about prolonged swelling and bruising after plastic surgery, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) You may have heard the saying at least once. Immediately after surgery, your face may feel heavy and swollen. As the bruise subsides, it's easy to feel anxious about the speed of recovery. At this time Treatment that involves inhaling 100% oxygen in an environment with higher than atmospheric pressure , This is where HBOT can help you recover. Today is hyperbaric oxygen therapy Effects, Targets, and Precautions I'll explain it to you in the easiest way possible! How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy work? 🟢This is a method that helps overall recovery by dissolving much more oxygen in the blood plasma. In a high pressure environment (2–3 atm) 100% oxygen When you breathe in, you get more oxygen than usual. It is much more soluble in the plasma itself. It will work. in result, ✔️ Oxygen can be supplied to tissues compressed by edema. ✔️ Restoration of microvascular function ✔️ Helps form new blood vessels In other words, it is a structure that more efficiently receives the 'oxygen energy' needed for tissues with unstable blood flow to come back to life. What effects can I expect after plastic surgery? 🟢The focus is on everything from reducing swelling, bruising, and pain to helping with fat grafting. 🔸 1. Reduce swelling and bruising Oxygen regulates inflammatory responses and lymphatic circulation. → Helps swelling and bruising go down more quickly 🔸 2. Wound healing & scar stabilization Fibroblast activation + collagen synthesis required oxygen supply Accelerates incision healing and reduces risk of infection 🔸 3. Helps with flap and fat graft survival Clinically used to increase the vitality of tissues with unstable blood flow 🔸 4. Reduced pain & shortened recovery period As tissue hypoxia improves, pain substances decrease. Speed of return to normal life↑ Who should receive HBOT? 🟢It may be helpful when you need 'quick recovery from swelling and bruising'. ✔️ A constitution that causes swelling and bruising to last a particularly long time ✔️ If you need to recover quickly and return to normal life ✔️ When an improvement in survival rate after fat grafting is needed ✔️ When you are concerned about decreased blood flow and inflammation after rhinoplasty ✔️ Foreign residents with limited period of stay ✔️ If your skin appears dark due to reduced blood flow after filler ✔️ For the purpose of restoring overall condition/immunity 5 Things You Should Ask Your Doctor Before Getting HBOT 🟢You can reduce trial and error by just following the checklist before starting. Is HBOT safe for my current condition? (Relationship with bleeding, stitches, swelling, etc.) What are the possible side effects during/after treatment? (ear pain, dizziness, headache, vision changes, etc.) What should I do when my ear hurts? (Equalizing method, stopping criteria) What behaviors and medications should I avoid before and after treatment? (makeup, contact lenses, smoking, certain medications, etc.) How many sessions do I need to take to see results? (whether overtreatment can be a problem) It doesn't work the same for everyone. 🟢It is important to decide based on your current recovery status and symptoms. HBOT does not work the same way for everyone. Rather than starting unconditionally Check your own recovery status first Must do. Not all discomfort is a 'problem', but if it interferes with your daily life, we recommend seeking counseling. The key is to consult with a specialist and decide whether the treatment is right for you! FAQ Q1. Should everyone who has had plastic surgery receive HBOT? A1. No, that's not true. It's difficult to expect the same results for everyone. You should consult with your medical team based on factors such as your recovery status, the degree of swelling, and the type of surgery. Q2. My ear hurts during treatment. Should I stop? A2. You must be thoroughly informed of the "equalization method" and "stopping criteria" in advance. If ear pain persists, it's safe to notify a medical professional immediately. Q3. How many times do I need to take it to see results? A3. The correct answer to the number of treatments varies from person to person. Excessive treatment can be problematic, so consult a medical professional. Conclusion ✨ Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is beneficial for post-plastic surgery recovery. Auxiliary care that may be helpful as, It has the advantages of reducing swelling, bruising, pain, and fat graft survival. but, ✔️ Not everyone has the same effect ✔️ Select after checking recovery status ✔️ Advance notification is required for ear pain, pressure issues, etc. If you are concerned about recovery after plastic surgery, After accurately checking the current swelling, bruising, and pain status, consult with medical staff to make a decision. I recommend you try it. If you just take the checklist I provided today with you, you will be able to make a much safer choice!

정재욱 원장25.12.08Views 550Likes 6 [Health Column] What is Cataract? A comprehensive overview from early symptoms to post-surgery care[11]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. Cataracts are a natural eye condition that can occur with aging. However, if you think, "It's normal for my eyesight to worsen as I get older," and ignore it, you may miss the optimal time for treatment. Today, I would like to talk about cataracts. 1. Early symptoms of cataracts, don't just dismiss them as aging When cataracts begin to develop, vision may feel different in bright and dark environments, and eyes may easily become tired when reading books or using smartphones. In particular, vision may temporarily become more blurred after exercise or when dehydrated. If you notice these changes, it could be a sign of cataracts. 2. What is cataract? A condition where the 'lens' inside the eye becomes cloudy. Cataracts are a condition that occurs as the transparent lens called the 'lens' of the eye gradually becomes cloudy. This lens plays a role in focusing so that we can see objects clearly, but as we age, it loses elasticity and gradually becomes foggy. When the lens becomes cloudy, focus is not properly achieved, causing objects to appear blurry, and light scattering can lead to glare. The symptoms of cataracts can vary depending on the location and degree of cloudiness, and sometimes they only impair vision at certain distances or cause objects to appear overlapped. 3. How is cataract surgery performed? Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and inserting an artificial lens (intraocular lens) in its place. Recently, ultrasound or laser technology has been used to perform the surgery more precisely. In particular, implanting a multifocal intraocular lens allows for clear vision at both near and far distances, increasing convenience in daily life. The artificial lenses used nowadays have a lifespan of over 80 years, and their durability is so high that most patients do not need to replace them after the initial surgery. 4. Postoperative precautions and management determine recovery. Immediately after surgery, your eyes may become sensitive to light or see colors strangely. Especially in cases where multifocal lenses are implanted, lights may appear to spread or night vision may be somewhat blurry. This usually improves gradually over time, so there's no need to worry too much. After surgery, please use eye drops consistently for three weeks and be careful not to rub or vigorously wipe your eyes. Also, during the first week after surgery, be cautious to prevent water from entering your eyes during washing or showering. Even if you wear glasses, you may experience dryness or foreign body sensation, so using artificial tears can also be helpful. 5. Do not misunderstand color changes, blue light, and misconceptions When cataracts develop, some of the light entering the eye, especially blue spectrum light, is blocked. After surgery removes the cloudiness, this blue light can enter again more easily, which may cause colors to suddenly appear bluish or purplish. However, this is part of the normal recovery process, and the optic nerve gradually adapts. Sometimes, there are claims that wearing blue light blocking glasses can help prevent or improve symptoms of cataracts, but this is incorrect information. Blue light is part of natural sunlight, so it cannot be completely blocked, nor is it necessary to do so. 6. Timing of surgery, "finding the right moment," is the key. Cataract surgery is generally performed when vision deterioration causes inconvenience in daily life. If performed too early, the effectiveness of the surgery may be minimal, and if delayed too long, the risk of other complications such as glaucoma or retinal diseases increases. Just like squeezing acne too early or too late can leave scars, it is important to determine the 'appropriate timing' for cataract surgery. It is advisable to check your eye condition through regular ophthalmic examinations and to make a decision after thorough consultation with a specialist. 7. Recovery period and return to daily life, it is important not to overexert yourself. Vision does not immediately return to normal right after surgery. Most patients feel that their vision clears up within about a day after the procedure, but complete recovery takes a little more time. Washing your face is possible about a week after surgery, and normal daily activities can be resumed without difficulty after approximately three weeks. During this period, the use of eye drops and managing eye dryness are very important, and it is also recommended to limit the use of smartphones and computers during the first two weeks. In conclusion Cataracts are a natural aging phenomenon that anyone can experience. However, the quality of life can vary greatly depending on treatment and management. Instead of thinking "it's a bit uncomfortable but I can tolerate it," it is most important to receive appropriate treatment at the right time based on an accurate diagnosis and the advice of a specialist. Since our eyes are precious organs used throughout our lives, do not hesitate to visit an ophthalmologist if you notice any abnormal signs. Small changes can bring great reassurance.

최우혁 원장25.04.01Views 4628Likes 9 [Health Column] Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning: A New Trend in Surgery and Procedures[5]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. Lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery has significantly evolved with the advancement of modern medical technology. Developing into more delicate and effective methods, it now offers patients faster recovery and more natural results. In this column, we will explore the new procedures and their effects in detail. 1. People who need lower eyelid fat repositioning Lower eyelid fat repositioning is not a necessary procedure for everyone. This surgery requires different approaches depending on the deformation of the tear trough. The method that has recently gained popularity involves an approach through the inner conjunctiva of the eye, performed without visible incisions and with minimal bleeding. This technique is effective and offers the advantage of quick recovery. 2. Recovery period for lower eyelid fat repositioning This surgery involves removing the fat from the inner corner of the eye and inserting it into the tear trough area. Recovery is relatively quick, and patients can return to daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks. In particular, once the external tape is removed, there is no need for additional suture removal, significantly reducing the patient's burden. 3. Under-eye fat repositioning radiofrequency procedure Instead of traditional surgery, a procedure using high-frequency technology has emerged. This method burns fat with a needle without incisions, resulting in less swelling and bruising, and a very quick recovery. It also causes less pain, with the procedure lasting only 10 to 15 minutes and performed under local anesthesia. 4. Side effects of lower eyelid fat repositioning Immediately after surgery, the area under the eyelid may appear sunken, but over time it will naturally flatten. Rarely, side effects such as retrobulbar hematoma, diplopia, or temporary vision loss may occur, and immediate contact with the hospital is necessary if abnormal symptoms appear. 5. Duration of Effect and Possibility of Re-treatment The effects of the procedure generally last for 1 to 2 years, and with proper maintenance, semi-permanent results can be expected. Additionally, individuals who have previously undergone surgery can also see results through re-treatment. Lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery and radiofrequency treatments are effective for individuals with good skin elasticity and can delay the need for lower eyelid surgery. For those considering these procedures, it is important to make a decision after thorough consultation with an experienced specialist. After making a reservation, it is recommended to resolve all questions through pre-procedure consultation and to prepare adequately for the treatment.
