hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. With May being Family Month, are you contemplating a meaningful gift to express your gratitude to your parents? Recently, among middle-aged and older adults, 'lower blepharoplasty,' which improves sagging and bulging fat under the eyes to make the impression brighter and younger, is receiving great attention as a representative cosmetic procedure for filial piety. To ensure high satisfaction, we will provide an easy-to-understand guide to the key benefits, side effects, and recovery process that you must check before surgery. Before restoring your parents' bright smiles, please review this article thoroughly first! Lower eyelid surgery goes beyond simple cosmetic surgery. What are the effects? 🟢 Improves under-eye fat and sagging skin to transform a tired-looking impression into a clear and bright one. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a one-dimensional procedure that simply removes wrinkles around the eyes. This is a procedure that comprehensively smooths out the dark shadows under the eyes and signs of aging that appear in combination with age. 🔸 Representative improvement effects : Improvement of under-eye fat protrusion Relieves sagging skin and fine lines Reduction of shadows that look like dark circles Improve a tired and aged appearance Forming a clearer and brighter impression If your parents' under-eyes look particularly puffy and tired when taking photos during holidays or family gatherings, lower eyelid surgery can be a good alternative. Middle-aged and older adults can enjoy the effect of significantly changing their overall image with just small changes under their eyes. 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 are the side effects and precautions that must be checked before surgery? Since all surgeries carry the possibility of side effects, you must be clearly aware of potential symptoms in advance. . Since lower eyelid surgery requires precise techniques, it is safer to check for potential symptoms in advance. Representative side effects to watch out for : ⚠️ Asymmetry and eyelid pulling ⚠️ Overcorrection or undercorrection ⚠️ Occurs micro-scars and dry eyes ⚠️ Rare eversion (the eyelid turns outward) 💡To prevent such side effects or complications such as ectropion or retraction, you must strictly verify whether the medical team is a specialist with sufficient know-how and extensive clinical experience regarding the surgery. 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. Please keep in mind that a precise, customized diagnosis evaluating the patient's skin elasticity, eye structure, and muscle condition from various angles must be performed first. ✨ Key Summary Points ✔️ Major swelling and bruising usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, and light makeup is possible after the stitches are removed in the first week. ✔️ To prevent side effects such as eyelid eversion and to maintain a natural smile, you must undergo a one-on-one consultation with a verified specialist. If you wish to give your parents the gift of youth and confidence that brings them happiness every time they look in the mirror, I highly recommend visiting a medical institution equipped with a thorough, systematic aftercare program and accompanying them step-by-step, starting from the consultation.

손동국 원장26.04.22Views 99Likes 2 [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.

After the procedure Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness Symptoms may appear Recovery speed varies from person to person. Initially, lip movements may feel somewhat awkward. In most cases, it improves naturally over time. ⚠️ Excessive restraint Risk of unnatural appearance or scar exposure Excessive removal can lead to an unnatural appearance or exposed scars, so finding the right range that suits your face is key.

If the philtrum is already short If you expect excessive anti-aging effects In cases where skin elasticity is severely reduced → Consider combining with other lifting procedures In cases where skin elasticity is severely reduced, combining philtrum reduction surgery with a lifting procedure is sometimes considered rather than performing the surgery alone. The same method is not the right answer for everyone. What is most suitable for my current facial condition It is important to understand this first. What you must know before philtrum reduction surgery? 🟢 Satisfaction is determined not by 'making it shorter,' but by 'harmony with the overall facial proportions.'

🦷 Hello, Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic no see. As before-and-after photos of orthodontic treatment have recently become a hot topic on social media, Adult Orthodontics Interest in it has risen higher than ever. But actually What care is required after removing the braces Many people overlook this without knowing. There are so many people who ask, "Isn't the day you take off your braces the end of it?" but actually Maintenance device management This is truly the final stage of orthodontic treatment. In today's column, I will candidly explain why dentists emphasize retainers so much, as well as clarify some common misconceptions. 1️⃣ Why do teeth try to return to their original positions after orthodontic treatment? This is because the tissues surrounding the tooth remember its 'previous position'. Many people think of teeth as stones firmly embedded in the gum bone, but in reality, they are constantly moving Living tissue no see. For about a year immediately after orthodontic treatment, the gum bone has not yet hardened, so without a 'safety belt' called a retainer, the teeth can quickly shift. Around the teeth Periodontal ligament There is a tissue called... — you can think of it as fibrous tissue that connects the teeth and the gum bone. This tissue has a good memory, so if the device is removed, the teeth The force attempting to return to the previous position This works It is a principle similar to how a rubber band returns to its original length when stretched and released. Although I applied force to move my teeth throughout the entire orthodontic period, from the moment the appliance is removed, this 'Recurrence tendency' This begins. That is why a retention device is absolutely necessary. 2️⃣ What are the types of retainers, and are they really uncomfortable? There are two types, fixed and removable, and you will adapt to them faster than you think. Most people have a negative reaction to retainers. 'Discomfort' class Wearing period It originates from. However, many people say that it is easier than expected once they actually experience it. The fixed retainer is completely invisible from the outside, and the foreign body sensation disappears after about a week, so you will eventually forget that it is even attached. Fixed retainer — This method involves attaching a thin wire to the inside of the front teeth. Since it is not visible from the outside, you do not need to worry about it at all, even during job interviews or important occasions. removable retainer — It is a removable device. You must wear it consistently for the first 6 months to a year, except during meals, but once your teeth have settled, Only when sleeping You just need to wear it. Just as you put on pajamas before going to sleep, wearing a retainer before bed is also If you just make it a habit It is not a hassle at all. It is far from the perception of being a 'lifelong shackle'. 3️⃣ What problems might arise if you neglect your retainer? Not only can your teeth become misaligned, but it can also affect the health of your gum bone. There are people who lightly dismiss it, saying, "Surely it won't get a little misaligned?" but our bodies are During the aging process, the gum bone gradually weakens. If you neglect your retainer and your teeth shift again, you will need 're-orthodontics,' which will double the cost and time. Even people who haven't had braces experience changes in their teeth alignment as they age, and if you don't wear a retainer after treatment... The speed of that change becomes much faster. The front teeth may become slightly crooked or gaps may form between the teeth. If your teeth become misaligned again, there will be parts that are difficult to brush, and gum inflammation The risk of tooth decay may also increase. 👉 A retainer keeps straightened teeth in place for a long time The most reliable and economical management method no see. How about thinking of it as 'AS insurance' that protects the results you worked so hard to correct? 4️⃣ Do I eventually have to wear a retainer for the rest of my life? Wear it for as long as possible, but the duration can be adjusted in consultation with a specialist. Many people feel burdened by the news that they have to wear a retainer for the rest of their lives. To start with the conclusion, Teeth are tissues that move throughout life. For this reason, it is ideal to wear it for as long as possible. However, since you can gradually reduce the wearing time after your teeth have stabilized for a certain period, please consult with your specialist to adjust it. At first, I wear it almost all day, but as time goes by Only when sleeping Proceed to the wearing step. In the case of a fixed retainer, there is no significant inconvenience in daily life. long-term maintenance It is possible ⚠️ One thing I would like to ask of you is that if you do not plan to wear your retainer properly You should carefully consider the orthodontic treatment itself. It is. It might sound a bit strong, but your precious time and money This is sincere advice to protect it. 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. What should I do if the retainer falls off or breaks? A. You need to visit a dentist as soon as possible. Because teeth can move slightly even when the device is removed, Prompt action is the best way to prevent recalibration. no see. Q. How do I clean a removable retainer? A. Use a dedicated cleaner, or Gently brush with a toothbrush under running cold water You can wipe it clean. Please be sure to avoid hot water, as it may deform the device. Q. My gums are swollen or bleeding. Could this be related to the retainer? A. Although it is rare for the retainer itself to cause gum inflammation, around the fixed appliance If tartar builds up, it can affect gum health. Regular scaling and thorough brushing habits are important, and if gum swelling or bleeding recurs, we recommend getting a checkup at a dental clinic. Wrapping up Orthodontic treatment does not end on the day the appliance is removed. The process of maintaining the results through a maintenance device Up to this point is the true completion. When choosing a hospital, rather than comparing only costs, Whether the follow-up care program is systematic Please make sure to check if regular checkups are thoroughly taken care of. If you want to maintain the straight teeth you worked so hard to achieve for 10 or 20 years from now, why not get familiar with your retainer starting today? We are rooting for your healthy and confident smile. ✨ 👨⚕️ Oh Su-hwan Chief Director 🏥 Smile D Dental Clinic 📌 - Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry 📌 - Major in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry 📌 - Board-certified Orthodontist by the Ministry of Health and Welfare 📌 - Regular Member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists 📌 - Completed Internship and Residency in Orthodontics, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital 📌 - International Member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) 📌 - International Member of the World Federation of Correctional Organizations (WFO) 📌 - Regular Member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists 📌 - Certified by the Korean Association of Orthodontists View more expert columns by Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of Smile D Dental Clinic > - Health Column: Considering Orthodontics? 4 Orthodontic Cases You Absolutely Need - Health Column: Black Triangles, Why Do They Form?

hello, Park Ji-hoon, Chief Director of Beautiful Korean Medicine Clinic no see. When looking in the mirror or taking a picture, If only one corner of the mouth looks droopy or, conversely, only one side looks up There are people I am concerned about. At first, it is easy to dismiss it as just a facial expression habit, but over time, you may notice that your overall facial impression looks different. Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth It may not be just a problem with the visible shape of the lips. In this column Causes of Asymmetry in Corners of the Lip and Non-Surgical Treatment Approaches I will organize it step by step. 📘 What is the root cause of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth? 💡 Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth can be linked not only to the shape of the lips but also to issues with the balance between the upper and lower jaws. It is easy to think of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth as simply a problem around the mouth, but Misalignment of the skeletal positions of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) This is often the root cause. 📌In other words, behind the visible difference in the mouth shape Problems with the balance of the facial central axis and the jaw It means that they can be together. In this case, rather than trying to correct only the corners of the mouth, An approach that examines the balance between the lower and upper jaws together This is important. To this end Facial bone correction By doing so, correct the basic balance and establish a foundation so that the position of the corners of the mouth does not remain a temporary change. It loses. for example, This may apply to cases where one side of the mouth appears more droopy than the other whenever a photo is taken, or where the left and right sides look different in height when smiling. 🔸 If you've been constantly bothered by only one corner of your mouth 🔸 Don't view it as just a simple facial expression habit 🔸 A perspective that also considers skeletal balance This may be necessary 📘 How do you treat lips with unnatural movement? If the movement of the muscles around your mouth has become unbalanced, you may need to go through a process of relearning natural movements. . If lip asymmetry occurs Nerve signals that move the muscles around the mouth can gradually become imbalanced. It is. At this time, it is not simply a matter of changing the shape, A direction that naturally retrains the movement itself. Access it as. ✔️To this end Low-frequency current stimulation Naturally relearn the movement of the levator labii superioris muscle using this I will make you do it. ✔️Also High-frequency thermal stimulation By combining this to improve skin sagging around the corners of the mouth and elasticity We are raising it. Simply put, In cases where the movement of one corner of the mouth is awkward or one side rises less than the other when smiling A process of inducing more natural muscle movements It can be understood as. 🔸 Low-frequency electrical stimulation: Muscle movement relearning 🔸 High-frequency thermal stimulation: Improves sagging and elasticity around the corners of the mouth 🔸 Goal: More natural and defined mouth shape ⚠️ Since the treatment intensity or method of application may vary depending on the individual's condition, The process of first verifying the current asymmetric patterns and movement states This is important. 📘 How can muscle adhesions that cause the corners of the mouth to droop be resolved? 💡 If there is a strong downward pulling force on the corners of the mouth or adhesions, an approach to relax them may be necessary. . As a cause of the corners of the mouth drooping downward Muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward Pulling force of the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) , and Thin under the skin Fascial layer (SMAS layer) There is a problem. In this case, rather than simply pulling it up from the outside, An approach that alleviates the causes of sagging together This can be seen as necessary. To this end Adhesion lysis Using Gently relaxes areas where muscles and fascia are adhered, It can alleviate the drooping movement of the corners of the mouth and simultaneously strengthen the Levator Labii Superioris (LLS). It is. Through this process A natural smile that isn't forced , and Forming a smooth front cheek line You can expect up to this point. For example, if one corner of the mouth appears to drop lower even when at rest, or if the mouth looks unnaturally bent when smiling, this approach may be considered. 🔸 Relieving the downward pull of the corners of the mouth 🔸 Relaxation of adhered areas 🔸 Helps create a natural smile line FAQ Q1. Are skeletal correction or adhesion lysis very painful? A1. The degree to which it is felt varies from person to person, but They explain that since it is performed using non-surgical methods, most people can undergo it without significant discomfort. In addition, adhesion lysis is It is possible to proceed with minimal pain by using a treatment tool of fine thickness. Q2. What does electrical stimulation therapy for neural relearning feel like? A2. Stimulation like low-frequency current gently tapping the muscles It may feel like... It is a process of awakening the movement of stiff muscles around the mouth, after the procedure The mouth feels much lighter You can receive. Q3. How many sessions does it usually take to see the effects of the treatment? A3. You can see immediate results from a single treatment, but , in order to completely change the misaligned skeletal and muscular memory, depending on the condition 3 to 10 treatment sessions are recommended. do. conclusion Losing a tooth may not simply mean the creation of a single empty space. As time passes Tilting of surrounding teeth, changes in occlusion, alveolar bone resorption This is because multiple changes can follow together, like this. In particular, it is important not to overlook the fact that a problem that initially appears small can later lead to more extensive treatment.

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 400Likes 3 [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"?

hello, 3D plastic surgery Researching rejuvenating and youthful surgery in Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. Forehead Giant When I consult, I often get asked, “Does the fixed method determine the outcome?” especially Bontunneling, Endotine, Fixstein There are many concerns about which one is better. today The actual significance of the fixation method in the results of forehead augmentation Let me explain it to you calmly from the perspective of surgical structure. 1. Is the fixation method really the key in forehead augmentation? ? 🎯 The biggest factor that determines the result is the 'exfoliation range'. . Many people think that the fixation method itself determines the result, but The most important part for me in surgery is How wide and precisely was the peeling done? no see. (To put it simply, it is more important how well the skin is loosened to allow movement.) ✔️ The fixing method is Fine-tuning eyebrow shape may affect ✔️ But the key to the overall lifting effect is Scope of surgery is in. for example, If the peeling is already sufficiently well done No matter what fixation method you use, Stable results You can expect 2. Is forehead augmentation a surgery that can be adjusted in 1mm increments? 🎯Setting goals that take recovery into account is more important than precise figures. . During consultations, I often get asked, “Can you raise my eyebrows by 4mm?” To conclude, Forehead augmentation is not a surgery that is adjusted in 1mm increments like double eyelid surgery. ✔️ Even if it looks good right after surgery, ✔️ On average, over time, about It comes down again by about 3mm. If the skin is thick and tough, the recovery amount is greater. Conversely, sagging and soft skin may require less recovery. So before the surgery Based on the “final target location” Set the degree of lifting during surgery by calculating backwards do. This is not a sensory judgment, A computational approach based on experience no see. 3. What is the difference between Bontunneling and Endotine/Fixstein? 🎯There are differences in the number of fixed points, ease of adjustment, and cost. . In the case of forehead lift, the skin is sufficiently loosened through peeling. The ascended state You get to decide how you're going to 'hold on'. The method used at this time is ✔️Fixed with sutures Bontunneling , ✔️ Fixing using a device Endotine and Fixstein no see. ① Number of fixed points Endotine and Fixstein : Approximately 5 fixed points per device When using 2, a total of 10 fixed points are formed. Bontunneling : 1 suture per tunnel → 1 anchor point A total of 3 fixed points when implemented in 3 locations ✔️ Mechanically, Endotine and Fixstein have more holding power. ✔️ But The result is sufficiently stable with just the main tunneling. You can get it. 👉 It's the same principle as passing an exam where 50 points is the passing score, and both 60 and 80 points are passing points. Endotine Bontunneling ② Ease of adjustment during surgery Endotine and Fixstein It is a structure that fixes the tissue as if 'hanging' it during surgery. Fine-tuning is relatively easy . ✔️ “Should I raise it a little more?” ✔️ “Should I pull a little less?” You can respond immediately to these judgments. the other side The main tunneling method is tied with sutures. Because of this Once you tie it, you have to untie it and re-tunnel it! ⚠️ → That much Surgery that requires accurate judgment at once no see. ③ Cost and perceived effectiveness Both Endotine and Fixstein Devices with high material costs no see. Endotine, in particular, is an imported product and carries a greater cost burden. ✔️ But The difference in perceived effectiveness compared to the price is not that great. no see. ✔️ Rather, some patients Foreign body sensation/nerve irritation It can also be uncomfortable. So I I don’t see “expensive fixation = unconditionally better results.” 4. Which fixation method should I choose? ? 🎯Both methods can be good enough options depending on the patient's condition. To summarize, I can say this. ✨ Surgically, Endotine and Fixstein may be a little more convenient. ✨ You can get good results just by tunneling. What's important is ✔️ Skin thickness ✔️ Degree of sagging ✔️ Individual recovery characteristics Taking all these factors into account Choosing the right method no see. Rather than having a preconceived notion of a particular fixed method, Choose after understanding the surgical principles What you do is most important. FAQ ❓ Q1. Is it effective to peel off the forehead area up to the brow bone? A1. If your goal is to improve sagging eyelids, most procedures require access to the upper eyelid area to achieve optimal results. During surgery, I personally palpate the area to confirm the extent of the exfoliation before proceeding. Q2. Is a 3-point incision sufficient for temporal (temporal) dissection? A2. 3-point incision is a surgical method that involves making three small incisions on the forehead and performing the surgery using an endoscope. Temporal dissection can be performed using an endoscope using a three-point approach. However, in some cases, additional incisions may make the surgery easier. Q3. Does the effect increase if a large amount of the corrugator muscle is removed? A3. The corrugator magnus is the muscle that triggers frowning. Complete removal can cause a sunken forehead. Rather than complete removal, I prefer endoscopic manipulation of the causative muscle fibers. conclusion ✔️ On the forehead The fixed method is not everything. ✔️ The extent of the surgery and individual recovery characteristics have a greater impact on the outcome. ✔️ Rather than blindly sticking to a specific method, Select the right one for your situation This is important. ⚠️ All surgeries are individualized. If you have any concerns right now, Through sufficient consultation with a specialist I encourage you to find the direction that suits you. 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Master of Medicine, Yonsei University Graduate School Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist 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 Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery 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 Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting

The older the patient, the more Rather than “how much did you pull” The balance of “how natural it is” is important. “When it comes to midlife surgery, ‘harmony’ is more important than ‘the magnitude of the change.’” FAQ Q1.

However, after middle age, forehead lengthening, wrinkles, and sagging eyebrows often occur together, so combining them can result in more harmonious improvements. Q2.

However, for those with low hair density, prior consultation is crucial. Q3. Can I lose sensation in my forehead or experience hair loss? A3.

And the standard for that is Implant AS period no see. Is there an after-sales service period for implants? 🦷 For implants, the ‘dentist’s aftercare standards’ are more important than the warranty. Many people assume that implants come with a clear manufacturer warranty, like appliances. But in reality AS standards operated by each dental clinic This exists. ✔ A certain period of time after planting ✔ Under certain conditions ✔ This is a structure that provides re-treatment free of charge or partially free of charge. The problem is AS period and scope are not the same in all dental clinics. is the point. Because there are no legally enforced standards, The saying “AS is possible” is used in every dental clinic. Completely different meaning It can be. So before treatment Check specific criteria This is important. Why is the implant AS period absolutely necessary? 🦷Even if the success rate is high, the possibility of failure is not completely 0%. To be honest, implants are a treatment with a high success rate. But especially Within 6 months to 1 year after implantation , the following problems may occur: 🔸 When the bone and implant do not fuse properly 🔸 Surrounding problems caused by gum inflammation 🔸 Abutment loosening 🔸 Crown fracture or fall out 🔸 Overload due to teeth grinding and clenching When problems arise during this period The patient burden varies completely depending on whether there is an AS period or not. No AS → Full burden of reoperation and reprosthesis costs AS Clear → Free or minimal cost solution The difference is bigger than you think. Why can cheap implants be risky? 🦷The cheaper the price, the more carefully you should scrutinize the after-sales service. . When comparing implant prices, there are some places that stand out. ✔ Extremely low cost ✔ Emphasize event-oriented pricing ✔ Almost no mention of AS during the consultation process In this case If the AS period is non-existent or very limited There are many. It may seem cheap at the time of treatment, but If a problem arises in 1-2 years A structure that incurs greater costs and time again no see. Implants are Not a “cheap treatment” It is important to remember that this is a “long-term management treatment”. What should I check during the implant AS period? 🦷Before deciding on a dentist, be sure to ask yourself this question: . Before choosing a dental clinic, we recommend that you check the questions below. 1️⃣ How many years is the implant AS period? 2️⃣ To what extent is AS applied? ( Fixture / Abutment / Crown Distinction) 3️⃣ Does this also apply to cases of negligence in patient management (smoking, failure to undergo regular checkups)? To this question Dentistry that provides clear answers If it's ramen, it can be seen as a place that at least has standards for after-sales service. FAQ Q1. Is it always good if the implant AS period is long? A1. More than the period itself Whether the scope and conditions of application are clear is more important. Q2. If there is a problem after implantation, will all problems be covered by after-sales service? A2. It varies depending on the standards of each dental clinic.

Because implants are a long-term treatment, The most important thing to check before treatment do. conclusion If you are considering implants Before checking the price, check the ‘implant AS period’. Not after the problem has occurred, This is most important before deciding on treatment. Not all treatments work equally well for everyone. Rather than making a decision without thinking, check the current status, Through sufficient consultation with a specialist Aftercare standards that are right for me Please check it out. The real treatment for implants begins from the moment care begins, not the moment they are placed.

But the important thing is, Even if you use the same materials and treatment, the maintenance period may vary. That's the point. ✨ Ultimately, the implant maintenance period is 👉 Post-plant care , 👉 oral environment , 👉 Lifestyle habits It depends greatly. “The implant period is longer than the ‘treatment itself’ Post-treatment environment This is left and right.” It's the same implant, so why does the maintenance period vary from person to person? 🦷 The biggest difference starts with ‘management habits’.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Orthodontic treatment is not simply a procedure to straighten teeth. Tooth movement is a complex process involving various factors, including the alveolar bone (gum bone), muscles, tongue position, and habits. that How long will the correction take? It is difficult to explain simply by the type of device or the hospital's capabilities. In fact, even with similar corrective devices, 1 year and a half With someone who ends up in a million More than 2 years There are people who get caught. One of the important factors that makes the difference is Lifestyle habits no see. Today, it can lengthen the correction period and, in some cases, affect the treatment results. Lifestyle habits Let's learn more about it. 1. Mouth breathing habit We are basically designed to breathe through our nose. However, nasal breathing becomes difficult due to rhinitis, allergies, or decreased oral muscle function. If you develop a habit of breathing through your mouth, it can affect the alignment of your teeth. Especially if mouth breathing has persisted since childhood, The direction of facial bone growth itself changes and the maxilla becomes narrower. malocclusion This increases the risk of it leading to For adults Even if pressure imbalances occur within the oral cavity, tooth movement may be delayed during orthodontic treatment. ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - The tongue position drops down and pushes the teeth outward - Weakened lip strength causes the front teeth to protrude or gap. - Occlusal problems occur when the growth balance of the upper and lower jaws is disrupted. ✔️ How to improve - Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth, close your lips slightly, and place your teeth slightly apart. - Problems that interfere with breathing, such as rhinitis and tonsillar hypertrophy, should be treated concurrently with ENT treatment. - Practice MFT (Myofunctional Therapy) consistently ✔️ Super easy MFT practice - 10 lip-puckering exercises - Inhale through your nose and exhale quietly. - Pronounce the 'huh' sound 10 times with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth. → Repeat 3 sets a day, make it a habit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 2. The habit of clenching your teeth Unconsciously The habit of clenching one's teeth is a lifestyle habit that many people have without even realizing it. We often find ourselves tense in our jaws, especially when we're stressed, concentrating, or sleeping. This habit Temporomandibular joint pain, tooth wear, and periodontal tissue damage It can cause and if it is being corrected Inhibits tooth movement This is the main cause. ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - Continuous vertical pressure is transmitted to the orthodontic device, reducing movement. - The force applied in the opposite direction to the correction direction delays the correction time. - Increased risk of tooth root resorption during orthodontic treatment ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - Use of occlusal adjustment devices to avoid contact with molars - Self-awareness training to prevent unconscious bad habits - If necessary, concurrent botox treatment to relax jaw muscles ※ If you have a severe habit of clenching your teeth, the period of wearing a retainer after orthodontic treatment may be longer, so it is necessary to correct the habit in advance. 3. If you want to increase the treatment effect, start with your lifestyle habits. Orthodontics is not simply attaching devices to teeth. It is a treatment based on physiological changes that move teeth. thus Daily life habits This can directly affect the success or failure of your correction. for example, ✅ Tongue position If it is not corrected, the front teeth may spread apart again. ✅ Mouth breathing If you continue to do this, your face shape will change. ✅ The habit of biting teeth If this is present, teeth will not move properly, delaying treatment. Lifestyle items desirable habits Breathing method Nasal breathing, inhaling and exhaling quietly through the nose Tongue position Position the tip of your tongue so that it touches the roof of your mouth behind your upper teeth. Lip posture Close your lips gently and hold them together without using excessive force. jaw strength Keep your jaw relaxed and your teeth away from each other Sleeping position Sleep on your back, not on your side or stomach. Eating habits Chew using both sides equally As important as the treatment at the dentist is How do I live? no see. Changing small habits effort This alone can shorten the treatment period and maintain the results more stably.
