[Health Column] Partial Front Teeth Correction: Side Effects and Conditions You Must Consider Before Finishing Quickly[2]

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Where do your eyes go first when you meet someone, talk, or smile brightly? As a dentist meeting many people, I realize that the 'front teeth,' which are immediately visible when speaking or smiling, have the greatest impact on one's impression. If your front teeth are crooked or stick out, your mouth is likely to look protruding. This often becomes a major concern because it makes it easy to unintentionally give the impression that I am angry or sulky. Recently, as before-and-after photos of quickly correcting only the front teeth have gained popularity on social media, there has been a significant increase in the number of people seeking methods to complete treatment quickly, following the trend, instead of undergoing full orthodontic treatment. "Can't I also get just my protruding front teeth fixed quickly, instead of the full braces?" It is natural to be drawn to the low cost and short duration as you think. However, you should never take partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth lightly. This is because an incorrect approach could worsen your appearance or lead to temporomandibular joint problems, ultimately resulting in the unfortunate setback of having to spend double the cost and time to undergo full correction again. Today, for those considering partial front tooth correction, I will clearly explain the medical criteria regarding when you can proceed with confidence and when you should absolutely avoid it! 1. What are the advantages of partial anterior correction compared to full correction? ? ✨ It drastically reduces the financial burden by cutting the time and cost to less than half compared to full correction. Full orthodontic treatment, which involves moving all the teeth, generally takes at least one year, or more than two years if tooth extraction is involved. On the other hand, because partial anterior correction focuses on moving only a few problematic teeth, 3 to 4 months at the shortest, and usually within 6 to 10 months at the longest. The treatment is completed at. Also, brackets are not attached to all teeth, but usually from canine to canine, either upper or lower Appliances only on around the 6 front teeth You will attach it. Since the number of devices attached is small, the cost is lower compared to full correction. Less than half It has the attractive advantage of being reduced to a very low economic burden. 📌 It is also full of conveniences you can experience in your daily life! The sensation of foreign objects or pain in the mouth is much less compared to full orthodontic treatment. There is no device on the molars used for chewing, so it is much more comfortable when eating. 💡 You can also choose from a variety of appliance types to suit your situation and preferences, including invisible lingual braces attached to the inside of the teeth as well as the outside, or clear aligners. 2. What are the potential side effects of getting only partial correction just because it is a trend? ✨ If the process is pushed too hard, side effects such as teeth protruding forward or tooth sensitivity may occur. . Although it appears fast and affordable on the surface, unfortunately, not all patients can achieve satisfactory results with partial anterior tooth correction. In actual clinical practice, patients undergoing partial orthodontics Less than 10% of all orthodontic patients The cases in which it can be applied are very limited to the extent that it amounts to nothing more than that. To straighten teeth, 'space' is absolutely necessary for the teeth to move safely. However, if you try to forcefully straighten the teeth using only front teeth appliances while leaving the molars as they are, there will be insufficient space. Side effect of teeth gradually moving forward (protruding) this It can happen. To prevent this, 'interdental reduction,' which involves finely grinding down the spaces between the teeth, is sometimes performed. If interproximal reduction is excessively concentrated only in the partial orthodontic area, the tooth surface becomes thin, making it difficult to eat. tooth sensitivity You must be careful, as this may appear and cause you trouble. 3. What are the criteria for success and failure of partial orthodontics based on actual treatment cases? ✨ Ignoring the limitations of the oral structure leads to lower satisfaction, but success is achieved by using the correct device following a precise diagnosis. . ❌ Disappointing failure cases In the case of one actual patient, the front teeth were severely overlapping due to a dental arch that was narrowed into a triangular (V-shape). It was recommended that the shape of the dental arch be properly widened through full correction, but At the patient's strong request, partial orthodontic treatment was performed only on the lingual side of the front teeth. I have done it. As a result, the front teeth themselves were rounded, but due to a lack of space, the teeth extended forward, disrupting the harmony with the molars and causing the canines to protrude outwards. In the end, the patient was not very satisfied and Reconsider the entire correction process. There is an unfortunate case where this happened. ⭕ Successful Treatment Cases On the other hand, for another patient who visited due to protruding front teeth, we wisely secured space for tooth movement. It slightly widens the space around the front teeth without touching any other teeth inside the mouth. Perform the 'arch expansion device' first. Partial correction was performed after that. Thanks to this, sufficient space is secured, allowing the teeth to naturally move inward without protruding. very successful results I was able to obtain. As such, a thorough preliminary diagnosis to determine whether your oral structure is truly suitable for partial orthodontics is essential above all else. 4. In what cases is partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth recommended? ✨ It is recommended only when the amount of tooth movement or space deficiency is minimal (approximately 1–2 mm) and the molar occlusion is perfect. . From a medical perspective, there are no structural skeletal problems and only A 'slight' problem situation involving a minute lack of space of approximately 1–2 mm or requiring relocation. Partial correction is most effective in this area. 🔹 Representative types for which partial correction is recommended Slightly crooked front teeth : Cases where the degree of tooth misalignment is not severe (approximately 1–2 mm) and can be sufficiently straightened with light interproximal reduction. Slightly spaced front teeth : Cases where there is a gap of about 1mm between the incisors, or a minute gap of approximately 0.5 to 1mm between the canines and premolars that only requires closing the space. In cases where only one tooth is protruding : Cases where the overall occlusion and molar alignment are perfect, but only one front tooth is slightly protruding forward and can be gently pushed back into place. ⚠️ Conversely, in such cases, partial correction is absolutely impossible! If you have symptoms such as a protruding mouth, an underbite, an underbite where the upper and lower front teeth meet in reverse, facial asymmetry, severe crowding, a deep bite where the teeth meet too deeply, or an open bite where the teeth do not meet at all, skeletal improvement and overall occlusal adjustment are essential. In this case, the problem cannot be solved by partial correction alone, so You must proceed with full proofreading. You must do this to be safe. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Can I really finish partial orthodontic treatment for my front teeth in just 6 months? A1. Yes, it is definitely possible if it is a mild case with minimal tooth movement! As short as 3 to 4 months, usually Around 6 months Surface treatment is completed neatly. However, depending on the individual's dental condition or the need for space, it may take up to 10 months. Q2. My front teeth are getting increasingly crooked as I get older. Is partial orthodontics possible for this as well? A2. There are really many people whose front teeth become misaligned due to acquired factors as their gums weaken with age. After visiting a dental clinic for a thorough diagnosis of your gums and alveolar bone, if there are no issues with molar occlusion and the misalignment of your front teeth is minor, they can be corrected through partial orthodontics. Q3. Are lingual partial braces, which are attached to the inside, completely invisible from the outside? A3. Yes, since the device is precisely attached only to the inner surface of the teeth, unless you open your mouth very wide in daily life The orthodontic device is not visible at all from the outside. Thanks to this, satisfaction is extremely high among office workers and those who frequently interact face-to-face. conclusion ✨ Suggestions for Wise Orthodontic Treatment Partial correction of front teeth It is an excellent treatment method that can dramatically reduce time and costs while significantly brightening one's appearance, provided the medical conditions are right. However, if you approach this with the sole intention of "finishing it quickly," you may experience side effects such as teeth protruding forward or a damaged bite. Even if it appears 'slightly' misaligned to the patient, a precise diagnosis reveals that in many cases, full correction is necessary due to skeletal or spatial limitations. Therefore, if you are considering partial orthodontics, we strongly recommend that you visit at least two or three dental clinics and receive a thorough consultation from an orthodontist, rather than making a hasty decision based on the advice of just one place. Finding an accurate diagnosis and medical compromise tailored to your dental condition is the sure first step to creating a beautiful smile you will never regret.

A Comprehensive Summary of the Effects and Side Effects of 'Density Alpha Tip,' the Game Changer in High-Frequency Lifting[1]

Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyeok. I got 800 shots of Thermage. Interest in radiofrequency lifting is so high that the same phrases are being used naturally. 🔥 Among them, the hottest rising equipment these days is the one chosen by actress Lee Young-ae. Density It is. I’m going to introduce the newly released weapon, the 'Density Alpha Tip'! Just like when I first encountered 5G after using LTE 3 or 4 years ago , I got the impression that it was innovative, as if it had skipped a whole generation! Today, I will explain those vivid experiences and top-secret information in a very easy-to-understand way. ✨ Monopolar? Bipolar? How are high-frequency devices classified? 📢 High-frequency devices that deliver energy from the surface without piercing the skin are broadly divided into two types. 📌 'Monopolar' that penetrates deep into the skin When the electrode touches the skin, high-frequency energy A method that goes deep down beneath the skin no see. The globally famous American Thermage is the original device, and as for domestic devices... Oligio, Tentherma, Volneumer, Serf, and the ones we are introducing today Density etc. This is included here. 📌 'Bipolar' concentrated on the skin surface It is a method in which high frequency waves travel back and forth between two electrodes on the tip surface. Rather than the deep place A lot of energy is concentrated on the surface of the skin. It has the characteristic of being able to do so. What is the effect of shooting monopolar and bipolar rays simultaneously? ? 📢 By stimulating both the deep layers and the surface of the skin simultaneously, the synergistic effect of collagen production becomes much greater. . South Korea is also the leading country for microneedle radiofrequency (Potenza, Scarlet, etc.). As a result of repeated research by the research team, Collagen density increases significantly when monopolar and bipolar energy are applied simultaneously. I discovered the fact that Following the Potenza Diamond Tip, which first applied this amazing combination, the device released as a full-fledged radiofrequency lifting machine has inherited the technology intact. Density High Tip no see. Since it cares for both the surface and the inner layers of the skin at once, the synergy in elasticity is bound to be exceptional. What exactly is different about the new 'Density Alpha Tip' compared to existing tips? ? 📢 To summarize in one word, it has been upgraded to "double the inspection area and double the energy consumption." Just as there are some shortcomings in the first-generation models of all electronic products, the existing Denserty Hi-Tip also had a slight risk of side effects, such as skin peeling or blistering, because energy was concentrated in specific areas due to the simultaneous action of two electrodes. This Alpha Tip has perfectly overcome that drawback. 🛠️ 🔸 Maximizing energy efficiency The Density Alpha Tip has doubled in area and doubles the energy. in other words, Getting hit by 300 Alpha Tip shots is the same amount of energy as getting hit by 600 existing High Tip shots. It essentially gets into the skin. Of course, the effect on improving elasticity will be much better, right? 🔸 The risk of side effects has actually decreased. If the energy is doubled, aren't the side effects also doubled? You might be worried about that. However, if you look at the actual temperature change graph, Energy is transferred very evenly and consistently over a large area. It works. Because heat is evenly distributed across the skin, the risk of side effects such as blisters or burns has been significantly reduced compared to conventional tips. Who would you strongly recommend the Density Alpha Tip to? 📢 It is an excellent alternative for those with sensitive skin and a lot of redness who were hesitant about lifting procedures. Some of the patients visiting the clinic Skin with a weak skin barrier, easily reddens, and is sensitive You have. These people wanted to receive skin firming care, but they could not easily get lifting procedures due to concerns about side effects. Denserty Alpha Tip has a low risk of irritation and side effects, and Effects of improving complexion, flushing, and redness You can expect to simultaneously. 📌 For those with sensitive skin who are worried about side effects after a lifting procedure 📌 For those who want to improve skin elasticity while simultaneously caring for redness and dull complexion 📌 For those who want to consistently and safely manage anti-aging every 3 to 6 months FAQ Q1. Does landing just 300 Alpha Tip shots really produce the same effect as the standard 600 shots? ? A1. Yes, that is correct! It is not simply about completing the number of shots; the total amount of energy (Joules) delivered to the skin is what matters. Since the Alpha Tip is designed with double the surface area and energy, you can experience the same energy as the existing 600 shots with just 300 shots. It saves time and reduces the time spent enduring pain by half. Q 2. I have sensitive skin; can I resume my daily activities immediately after the procedure? A2. Since the system has been improved to ensure energy is delivered very evenly across the entire surface, in general, aside from mild redness after the procedure, the likelihood of side effects such as blisters or peeling is low, allowing you to return to your daily life immediately. However, as results may vary depending on the individual's barrier condition, sufficient consultation is required before the procedure. Q3. How often should I receive high-frequency lifting? A3. People in their 20s and 30s consistently receive RF high-frequency treatments to slow down the aging process. Generally, receiving these treatments periodically—every 3 to 6 months depending on your skin condition—is very helpful in maintaining youthful and elastic skin for a long time. conclusion: I am cautiously confident that the introduction of the Density Alpha Tip in the high-frequency lifting market is not merely a slight improvement in performance, but a game-changer innovation that transcends a technological generation. 📌 Key Points : Density Alpha Tip Maximizing treatment efficiency with double the surface area and energy, and minimizing the risk of side effects through uniform heat delivery! 📌 Management points : Even sensitive and reddened skin can care for elasticity and complexion simultaneously without burden. 📌 A cautious word : No matter how good the equipment and tips are that have been released, it is safest to determine the number of shots and energy intensity after consulting with a specialist who can accurately diagnose your current skin barrier thickness and sensitivity. We will be back next time with more informative and interesting skin stories! Thank you.

hello, Director Lee Ji-hye of Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong Branch no see. only taking herbal medicine "Will I really lose weight just by doing that?" 🤔 This is the question most frequently and earnestly asked by those who have decided to go on a diet. Conversely, there are also many voices filled with concern, asking, “Won’t it eventually lead to a yo-yo effect or be bad for your health?” Today, I will honestly clear up the misconceptions and reveal the truth about herbal weight loss, based on what I have confirmed by meeting over 10,000 patients over more than 9 years! 1️⃣ How is a herbal medicine diet different from general appetite suppression? 📌 This is a 'customized metabolic treatment' that identifies the root cause of your body's weight gain. It is definitely different from ordinary medicines that simply suppress appetite. The priority is to first figure out why my body gains weight and why it is particularly difficult to lose it. In Korean traditional medicine, the causes of obesity are broadly categorized into three types for approach. Splenic energy deficiency: When digestive function is weak and waste products accumulate easily Liver Qi Stagnation When the circulation of Qi is blocked due to stress Phlegm and fluid: When weight gain occurs along with edema due to inefficient water metabolism The reason prescriptions differ completely from person to person, even with the same body weight, is precisely because the 'cause' is different. 2️⃣ What effects do they actually produce? 📌 Lose body fat and boost metabolic efficiency to build a 'body that gains less weight'. The most noticeable change is not the numbers Body composition It is a change. ✔️ I aim to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass as much as possible without excessive dietary restrictions. Natural satiety : As digestive function improves, your food intake naturally decreases without having to force yourself to hold back. Breaking through the plateau : It boosts metabolic efficiency to bring about change during a plateau where your weight doesn't budge despite your efforts. Preventing muscle loss : Lose weight healthily while preventing muscle loss issues associated with starving. 3️⃣ Misunderstandings and Side Effects, Let Me Be Honest! ⚠️ 📌 Side effects are temporary, and the yo-yo effect is a matter of 'lifestyle habits' rather than 'herbal medicine'.

This is the same for any diet method. Initial discomfort : Digestive discomfort, mild diarrhea, and changes in sleep may occur, but these are mostly temporary. Customizable : If you experience any discomfort, please inform your attending Korean medicine doctor, and the prescription can be adjusted immediately, so you can rest assured. Worried about your liver health? : Herbal medicines prescribed by medical institutions have a low risk of liver toxicity, and research results have reported that they actually improve liver enzyme levels or are as safe as general pharmaceuticals. 4️⃣ Can someone like me see results too? 📌 It is most important to check if this method is right for you. 🔹 I recommend this to people like this! Unresolved by diet and exercise Diet plateau menopause or mountain after Hormonal changes Cases where you suddenly gained weight PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Obesity with underlying causes Stress or lack of sleep Cases where it is difficult to control binge eating ⚠️ People like this, please be careful! Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as those with specific underlying medical conditions, must undergo sufficient consultation in advance. 5️⃣ Checklist You Must Check Before You Start! 📌 Carefully check if the place has a systematic management system. Thorough pre-treatment : Avoid places that recommend medicine first without analyzing your constitution and the cause. Continuous progress management : It is generally best to choose a place that checks your body's changes and adjusts the prescription every two weeks. Integrated Management Program : Please check if dietary guidance and lifestyle correction are provided along with herbal medicine. Transparent consultation : Being clearly guided on the treatment plan and estimated costs from the start is the foundation of trust. FAQ Q1. When do the effects appear? A1. Usually, you can feel initial changes in weight and body composition after about two weeks. However, the goal is to proceed consistently for about 4 to 12 weeks to fully restore metabolic function and improve your constitution. Q2. Won't I gain weight again if I stop taking the herbal medicine? A2. If you correct your dietary habits and restore your metabolic function during the period of taking herbal medicine, it is possible to maintain the results. 📌 You can sufficiently prevent the yo-yo effect as long as you do not revert to your old bad lifestyle habits after stopping the medication. Q3. Can I take this with diet injections or other medications? A3. If you are currently taking any medication (appetite suppressants, GLP-1 injections, etc.), please be sure to mention it during the consultation! ⚠️ It is not impossible to use them in combination, but the prescription composition may vary depending on the condition. conclusion 🔸The Right Choice for Me Herbal medicine dieting is not the same magic medicine for everyone.

[Health Column] A Groundbreaking Way to Reduce Implant Duration and Side Effects! The "One-Day Highness System" ✨[6]

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. One of the most common complaints I hear when considering implant treatment is, "It takes a long time." 🦷 In fact, general implants often take several months due to the osseointegration process. So, there are quite a few people who delay or hesitate to seek treatment. However, if conditions such as the condition of the gum bone are met, there is a way to efficiently shorten the treatment process. In this column, we will discuss ways to reduce the treatment period. One-day Highness System Let's take a look at it. 1. Why does implant treatment take a long time? ? 👋 It takes enough time due to the osseointegration process. . Implants are not simply about putting teeth in. The artificial tooth root that acts as the root must be attached to the gum bone of our body as if it were one body. 'Osteointegration' Time is of the essence. This step usually takes several months, but under certain conditions, the process can be significantly shortened. 2. What kind of treatment is the One-Day Highness System? ? 👋 From extraction to temporary prosthesis connection, ‘just 3 days’ is enough. Unlike the conventional method, the key is to perform implantation and temporary prosthesis connection simultaneously immediately after extraction. 🔹 Safety : There is no separation of parts after setting, so the gingival (gum) formation is solid and the risk of screw loosening or breakage is minimized. 🔹 Convenience : Because the model is taken using a digital oral scan, the process is very simple and there is little pain. 🔹 nicety : No adhesive (cement) used We prevent related complications at the source and reduce errors through digital precision manufacturing. 3. Why is Highness Digital Prosthesis better? 👋 Because recovery is quick and there is less worry about complications. . 📌 Actual changes felt by patients Time saving : Treatment period compared to existing At least 3 months It can be reduced and the number of visits is also reduced. Pain reduction : There is minimal bleeding and swelling, allowing for a very quick return to normal activities. Gum health : Since no adhesive is used, there is no gum irritation and the risk of complications such as peri-implantitis is low. Sophistication : The entire process is digitized, so it fits perfectly, with almost no need for any modifications in the mouth. 4. How can it be produced in '1 Day'? ? 👋 Because we have a system of collaboration between the in-house dental laboratory and specialists. . In-house dental laboratory : Our skilled technicians are on-site and produce patient-specific prosthetics on the same day without any errors. cutting-edge digital equipment : High-performance scanner precisely identifies oral structure and provides immediate diagnosis. Collaboration with 6 departments : Specialists in various fields, including prosthodontics and orthodontics, are on site, allowing for comprehensive treatment in one place. ❓ FAQ Q1. Is one-day implant really completed in one day? ? A1. This treatment method involves surgery and temporary prosthesis placement in a single day. The final prosthesis completion time varies depending on the individual's condition. The key is to shorten the treatment period compared to conventional implants. Q2. If I get treatment too quickly, won't the success rate decrease? ? A2. A shorter period does not necessarily mean a lower success rate; an accurate diagnosis and fulfillment of the conditions are prerequisites. This applies only when the gum bone condition is stable. Q3. Is it okay to use the temporary prosthesis right away? A3. Daily conversation and eating are possible, but you will be instructed to avoid excessive chewing movements in the early stages. 📝 conclusion The One-Day Highness System is not simply a “quick implant,” but rather a way to safely shorten the treatment period when conditions are met. In particular, the decision on whether to apply it is made after comprehensively considering the amount and density of alveolar bone, presence of gum inflammation, and general condition. ✔️ Stability is more important than speed ✔️ Not all treatments are equally applicable to all patients ✔️ Accurate diagnosis is the standard for treatment direction If you are experiencing discomfort in your daily life, it is important to first check your current oral condition rather than rushing to treatment. We recommend that you carefully determine the treatment plan that's right for you through professional consultation. ✨ Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Director Jeong Jae-wook Ministry of Health and Welfare, Dental Prosthodontics Specialist Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Graduated with a master's degree from Yonsei University School of Dentistry Intern at Yonsei University Sinchon Severance Hospital , Prosthodontics Residency Completion Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, recognized and full member Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Premium Member Regular member of the Korean Society of Temporomandibular Joint and Occlusion Full member of the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry jeon ) Adjunct Professor, Yonsei University College of Dentistry jeon ) Former Director of Yonsei Good Day Dental Clinic Yangjae Branch hyeon ) Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, Board of Review , Expert Committee/Academic Affairs Committee hyeon ) Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Director of Academic Planning See more expert columns on laminates > [Health Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

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

A comprehensive guide to summer skin dryness and barrier improvement, including Rejuran's effects, pain, and side effects![3]

hello! Director Kim Jae-hee of Cody Plastic Surgery no see. Recently, as daytime temperatures have exceeded 30 degrees, the number of people visiting with skin concerns has increased significantly. ☀️ Sweat is flowing, but ironically, the inside of the skin is drying out dry skin Are you worried about your symptoms? 💦 Today, the relief pitcher to restore your skin condition ruined by the summer, ' Rejuran I will summarize the key benefits of ' for you! 📌 1️⃣ Why does moisture evaporate from the skin faster only in the summer? 💡 This is because hot ultraviolet rays and air conditioning drafts in the summer break down the skin's natural moisture barrier. 🔹 Shiny on the outside, crisp on the inside! Intense ultraviolet rays in the summer and strong indoor air conditioning drafts are our skin's The main culprit that destroys the natural moisture barrier no see. ⚠️ On the surface, your skin may appear shiny due to oiliness, but in reality, moisture is evaporating from deep within, weakening your skin barrier. 😭 🔹 Signs of aging that deepen if left untreated If you leave it untreated without taking appropriate measures, the skin will lose its elasticity in an instant. 📉 Not only does the skin become rough and dry, In severe cases, even fine wrinkles can deepen. Special caution is required. 📌 2️⃣ From hydration to barrier care, why do you need 'Rejuran'? 💡 It builds the fundamental strength and basic resilience of the skin to retain moisture on its own. 🔹 Limitations of topical moisturizing creams When the skin is dry deep inside, simply applying moisturizing cream to the surface does not provide a fundamental solution. 🙅‍♂️ This is because you need to build the 'fundamental strength' that allows the skin to firmly lock in and retain moisture on its own. In such cases, Rejuran can be an excellent choice. 👍 🔹 The 3 Key Effective Effects of Rejuran 🔸 1. 'Moisture Recharge' rising from deep within the skin The key ingredient of Rejuran PN (Polynucleotide) It improves the environment of the skin's dermis layer. 🧪 By directly replenishing the components of skin tissue, it maintains hydration for a long time, as if creating a moist reservoir within the skin. ✔️ 🔸 2. 'Improves texture' for dull and dry skin When moisture is replenished from the dermis layer, the skin tone naturally becomes clearer. ✨ Even skin that is usually dry and rough, causing makeup to look uneven and not adhere well, becomes smooth and radiant once nutrition and moisture are delivered through Rejuran. Inner light You can experience the skin. 😍 🔸 3. Damaged 'Skin Barrier Care' It firmly strengthens the skin barrier, which has become significantly more sensitive due to irritation from summer UV rays. 💪 A healthy skin barrier protects itself from external stimuli and acts as a sturdy shield preventing moisture evaporation, building up the skin's fundamental resilience. 🛡️ 💬 FAQ Q1. Is the Rejuran procedure very painful? 😰 A1. Although it varies from person to person, you may feel some pain as this method involves directly injecting medication into the dermis layer of the skin. ⚠️ However, we conduct a thorough anesthesia process prior to the procedure, and if you are significantly concerned about pain, we can adjust the procedure using sedation or pain relief equipment to ensure maximum comfort. 👍 Q2. How long do the effects of Rejuran last? A2. The effects appear gradually over approximately 2 to 4 weeks as the internal skin environment improves, rather than immediately after the procedure. 🌱 Generally, if you receive the treatment consistently at least 3 times, your skin health improves, and the effects last for about 6 months to 1 year. However, since results may vary depending on individual skin type and regeneration speed, regular care is important. Q3. Can Rejuran alone solve all skin concerns? 🤔 A3. Rejuran is excellent for strengthening the skin barrier, improving internal dryness, and boosting overall skin condition. 💯 However, in cases of deep wrinkles or severe sagging, or depending on the goal such as skin tone improvement, excellent synergistic effects can be expected by combining it with lifting procedures like Ulthera or Thermage, or pigmentation treatments. We recommend consulting with an expert to find the customized combination best suited to your skin condition. 🤝 conclusion Rather than blindly choosing a large quantity, you must find the optimal solution needed for your skin condition. Rejuran is not a temporary procedure that simply layers nutrients onto the skin's surface. 🙅‍♀️ It is a procedure that boosts regenerative power from deep within the skin to restore its natural healthy balance. ✨ The key technology for creating a natural 'inner glow' is precisely adjusting the injection depth and amount of medication according to the individual's skin thickness, degree of internal dryness, and areas of concern (around the eyes and mouth, overall dullness, etc.). This is because building the skin's fundamental resilience to gradually become firm and clear is a more important result than temporary changes immediately after the procedure. 🔹 Since it is difficult to expect the same results for everyone, you should thoroughly assess your condition first rather than deciding on a procedure blindly. ⚠️ To achieve healthy and clear skin, accurately assess your current skin condition, We hope you consult thoroughly with a specialist with extensive clinical experience to determine the customized program that is perfect for you! 🩺 Cody Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kim Jae-hee [ personal history ] Bundang Jesaeng Hospital Visiting Professor Bundang Jesaeng Hospital plastic surgeon hyeon Cody Plastic Surgery Clinic ledger [ Conferences and Papers ] Lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Korean Society of Oculoplastic Surgery Regular member Korean Society of Microsurgery Regular member International Society of Plastic Surgeons (IPRAS) Regular member USA UPMS Plastic surgery training [ etc ] Yvoire Master's hand doctor Q-O-Phil Key doctor ledger \

Lower eyelid fat repositioning or lower blepharoplasty, which is better suited for my eyes? 🟢 The purpose of the surgery varies depending on whether it focuses on fat relocation or includes skin and muscle improvement. . Many people often confuse the two surgeries. Under-eye fat repositioning is primarily redistributing fat Regional migration center On the other hand, Lower eyelid surgery silver Comprehensive improvement of not only fat but also sagging skin and muscle condition It is an integrated surgery. 💡 If the condition involves severe skin sagging due to aging beyond simple fat protrusion, choosing lower eyelid surgery rather than lower eyelid fat repositioning is clinically much more suitable. How long do swelling and bruising last after lower eyelid surgery? Temporary symptoms may appear immediately after surgery, and usually subside after about 1 to 2 weeks to the point where they do not interfere with daily life. . After any surgical procedure, the speed of recovery may vary depending on the individual's constitution or skin condition. The general standard recovery course follows the steps below. Key Recovery Timeline : 🔸 Week 1 This is the period immediately after surgery when swelling and bruising are most severe. 🔸 Week 2 As significant swelling subsides, light commuting to work or daily activities become fully possible. 🔸 1 month As residual swelling gradually subsides, the surrounding tissue regains its natural feel. 🔸 3~6 months The internal tissue is firmly fixed and eventually settles completely. 💡 If your parents work or have an important meeting coming up, it is recommended to coordinate the schedule after securing at least 1 to 2 weeks of buffer time.

What conditions should be considered more important than price or cost? 🟢 It is whether a 'personalized diagnosis' is provided, which closely analyzes skin sagging and muscle conditions that differ for each patient. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a trivial procedure that can be hastily decided upon based solely on low costs or promotional pricing benefits. This is because everyone has distinctly different innate physical conditions. Essential Checkpoints for Precise Diagnosis : 📌 Current degree of under-eye skin sagging 📌 The exact location and amount of protruding inner fat 📌 Thickness and weakening of the muscles under the eyes 📌 Overall skin elasticity and existing eye shape structure Since indiscriminately removing an excessive amount of tissue can lead to unnatural results, the key is the diagnostic ability to establish the most natural direction of improvement while preserving functional aspects. Specifically, who is lower eyelid surgery most recommended for? 🟢 We recommend this to those who are concerned about looking dull and older than their actual age due to signs of aging under their eyes. . Self-diagnosis checklist : ✔️ If you are often told you look tired because your under-eyes are always bulging ✔️ Cases where sagging soft tissue under the eyes makes you look much older than your actual age ✔️ Cases where the overall impression feels dull and dark due to shadows around the eyes ✔️ Cases where non-surgical lifting procedures were previously performed but the improvement was significantly insufficient ✔️ For those over middle age who want a very natural, non-artificial youthful face What is the detailed surgical recovery process and course by stage? After passing the initial stage of applying protective taping, the facial expression will gradually settle into a natural state by 6 months post-surgery. 🔹 [Stage 1] Immediately after surgery ~ Day 2 after surgery Carefully apply sutures and protective tape to the micro-incision site just below the eyelashes. Swelling that occurs immediately after surgery usually peaks on the 1st or 2nd day and tends to be severe. Light daily movements are immediately possible, and if you are concerned about the swollen appearance, you can sufficiently cover it by wearing a hat or glasses. 🔹 [Stage 2] Day 3 ~ Day 4 Post-Surgery From this point on, the swelling, which had peaked, begins to gradually and noticeably decrease. As you apply the prescribed eye ointment regularly, the area around the tape may appear slightly shiny or oily, but this is a perfectly normal part of the healing process, so you can rest assured. 🔹 [Stage 3] Day 6 ~ Day 7 Post-Surgery (Time for Suture Removal) Visit the hospital to safely remove the attached protective tape and fine stitches. Once the stitches are removed, the significant swelling and bruising around the eyes usually subside quickly. Light makeup becomes possible, drastically reducing the physical and psychological burden of returning to daily life, such as going out or going to work. 🔹 [Stage 4] 2 ~ 3 months after surgery (Long-term recovery) The reddish tint of the micro-scar incised along the eyelash line gradually fades. The skin texture around the eyes recovers smoothly and naturally, transforming into a stable state where scars are barely noticeable. 🔹 [Stage 5] 6 months post-surgery (Final settlement) Even when speaking or smiling broadly, an extremely natural expression is maintained without any awkwardness. A youthful, relaxed, and vibrant impression of middle age is achieved to the point where those around you won't even notice. 📌 Great tips to shorten your recovery time! Professional services conducted at the hospital Swelling relief injection me LED Swelling Management Systematically combining the same customized recovery program can be of great help in accelerating the speed of recovery. FAQ Q1. When does my face look natural after lower eyelid surgery? A1. The most prominent swelling and bruising after surgery usually subside significantly within about 1 to 2 weeks as you resume your daily activities. Afterwards, minor residual swelling gradually subsides over several months, and the area usually settles into a noticeably natural look between one and three months after surgery. Q2. Since it is a surgery involving an incision, I am worried that a severe scar will remain on the surface. The incision for lower blepharoplasty is precisely made along a line closely located just below the eyelashes, which is not easily visible due to the eye's structure. Therefore, as time passes and the wound heals, it becomes difficult to distinguish easily with the naked eye. Although there are individual differences, generally, the scar fades rapidly starting 2 to 3 months after surgery. Q3. My parents are afraid that my facial expression might become stiff or look artificial and awkward after the surgery. To avoid an artificial appearance, the surgery must be performed with precision, thoroughly considering the complex muscle distribution and the condition of the supporting tissues around the eyes. If the surgery is performed correctly according to the anatomical structure, you can maintain a comfortable and soft impression without any awkwardness even when smiling broadly after 6 months, so it is important to make a decision after consulting thoroughly with a medical team with skilled expertise. 📌 Key Summary Lower eyelid surgery, known as the ultimate cosmetic surgery to show filial piety to middle-aged parents, A safe solution that restores your naturally bright and defined face by harmoniously improving sagging skin and bulging fat, the main culprits of under-eye aging. no see. To maintain highly satisfactory results for a long time, do not be swayed solely by low price benefits.
