(Question) How should I manage acne on my forehead?[7]

I used to get a few pimples on my cheeks but rarely, but It looks like volcanic rock on my forehead now. Only on my forehead. It's not turning red, but it broke out really severely like hives. At first, only one or two appeared, so I just ignored them, but they got too severe. I wonder if it's because I touched them? It spreads to the sides, and if I don't cover it with my bangs, I'm so embarrassed that I can't even show my forehead. How should I soothe my forehead when I have a lot of acne like this? I don't think I ate anything particularly wrong, but seeing this turn out like this is giving me a lot to worry about. How do others manage acne on their foreheads? I would appreciate it if you could share any good tips or cosmetics you have.

Experience in finding the cause of acne and prescribing it at Incheon Maypure Inha University Station branch

I went to get a prescription for acne medication. I finished my month's supply of isotretinoin and got a new prescription. My forehead hurt so much when I used a puff to apply makeup. I had severe whiteheads and even had scars after popping them, so I went for a consultation to figure out the cause. The director said it was due to sebum production and makeup. I received the prescription and took it for three days, starting that evening. It didn't help. I just let my skin absorb the toner and applied a generous layer of moisturizing cream. My skin started to improve a little, but since I have to apply makeup and spray it every day, my acne has gotten worse lately, so I finally decided to give up makeup altogether.

I have pimples on my hairline. What are the causes and how can I manage them?[19]

These days, my hairline condition is really bad. Acne is appearing along the hairline. Redness and small pimples keep appearing along the hairline just above the forehead, and it's causing me a lot of stress. Currently, it is spreading not only along the hairline but also into the scalp on the temples. Actually, I used to get small pimples on my forehead quite often, but recently I haven't had any and it was fine. However, now they are appearing along my hairline. At first, it was a bit itchy, but now it feels slightly painful when pressed, like a pimple. Why am I getting pimples on my hairline even though I intentionally keep my bangs up and wash my face diligently?ㅠㅠ I would really appreciate it if you could share any helpful tips, effective products, or lifestyle habits that help soothe these troublesome hairline acne 😢

What is the cause of the acne on my chin?[5]

I keep getting pimples in the same spot on my chin ㅠㅠ This acne looks like it is not maturing and is abscessing inside (?) When touched, it feels tangible and it stands out visually because it protrudes sharply... It's a pimple that can't be squeezed even if I try. Other pimples can be popped once they mature and disappear quickly with care, but this pimple doesn't respond well to such care... It might disappear like this, but it takes quite a while, so I am quite concerned about it in the meantime. Is this type of acne also considered a form of acne? I'm curious about what causes this and how I should take care of it ㅠㅠ

A 10-month-old girl has hair growing only on her forehead… Is this a congenital condition?[1]

10-month-old girl with hair growing only on her forehead… Is congenital 'this disease' the cause? A New Zealand baby with hair growing only on its forehead has become a hot topic after photos were released. On the 16th (local time), the British media outlet The Mirror reported the story of a New Zealand baby born with a congenital birthmark. Lulu, a 10-month-old girl living in Timaru, New Zealand, He was born with a large congenital nevus on the upper forehead. The pediatrician who treated Lulu said that there is a possibility this mole could develop into cancer. Therefore, it was diagnosed that we need to monitor whether it worsens. Lulu's mother, Claire Burt (32), visited a dermatologist out of anxiety, and The doctor said, "Although it is unlikely to develop into cancer, please visit immediately if the mole changes." Claire said, "When Lulu gets bigger, we will take an MRI to check if there are any problems inside her head." "I will let the child decide for themselves whether or not to have surgery to remove the mole when they get older," he said. Congenital melanocytic nevi are usually harmless to the body and do not cause any symptoms. However, most moles grow in size as the body grows. In Lulu's case, since she is 10 months old, the size of the birthmark may increase as she grows. If it grows to a diameter of 20 cm or more in adulthood, it is called a 'giant nevus'. In large congenital melanocytic nevi, such as giant nevi, additional benign nevi may develop. Also, if the mole continues to grow, you should suspect malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma is difficult to completely remove, so it requires multiple stages of surgery or cryotherapy. Therefore, it is advisable to periodically get diagnosed for malignancy. If the color of the mole ▲ It is getting dark ▲ or become bumpy ▲ As the shape becomes irregular If the color changes, you must visit a hospital immediately for an examination.

Causes of acne

What causes acne on the jawline?? ㅠㅠ It's really stressful[6]

What causes acne on the jawline?? ㅠㅠ It's really stressful I don't know why I get acne on my jawline! It's really stressing me out. I have oily skin and am prone to acne. I had acne on my jawline even during my school days. I feel like I get more acne on my jawline now that I'm an adult! They say that hormonal changes and stress are the causes of acne on the jawline. Is that true? And I'm looking into hospitals because I want to improve my jawline acne. How is this hospital at the Cashdoc Hospital event? https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/1132 If there's any way to manage my jawline acne, I'd love to try it! I had a pimple popped out, but after a month, it came back to life like a weed that had just been stepped on! so It would be great if you could tell me where to get jawline acne care :)

What exactly causes acne? I want to get rid of it.[10]

I have had a lot of acne since I was young and have been worried about it a lot. During puberty, it was so bad that my skin became blotchy and I had a lot of scars. It's gotten a little better since I became an adult, but I still get pimples and blackheads quite often. We learned about the causes and management of acne through the Cashdoc Hospital event! https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/3624 I was curious about what causes acne, so I searched the internet. There are said to be several causes, including hormonal changes, increased sebum secretion, thickening of the stratum corneum, and bacterial infection. I'm not sure if it's because of hormonal changes or because my skin's stratum corneum has thickened. I tried many different methods to get rid of my acne, even going to a dermatologist to get rid of it. Nothing worked. Taking the medicine seemed to dry out my skin and make my acne worse. I also tried home care methods that can be done at home. I thoroughly used cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. I also had scaling done frequently. But the acne didn't go away easily. Acne causes me a lot of mental distress. It makes me feel insecure about my appearance and makes it difficult to socialize. If there is a way to get rid of acne, please let me know.

I have another pimple on my forehead.

Is it because of the mask? Small pimples are starting to appear on my forehead, little by little ㅠㅠㅠ For millet acne, it is said that you need to thoroughly remove excess oil and dead skin to prevent the face from becoming greasy, and to care for the skin so that new skin can grow well on the clean surface. Around this time last year, I kept getting small acne bumps, which caused me a lot of stress. At that time, I didn't have time for proper skincare, so I went to the dermatologist for laser treatment and used the regenerative cream prescribed by the dermatologist. But maybe because the cream contained a lot of oily ingredients like oil components, or perhaps it just didn't agree with my skin... Despite the treatment, acne reappeared on my skin, making the effort seem pointless. It seems that not only acne but also the excessive sebum production has become much worse. So this time, I decided to do home care at home haha. For tiny pimples, exfoliation and sebum care are important, but I also thought it was equally important to hydrate the skin with plenty of moisture. After experiencing issues with cosmetics once, I started to scrutinize the ingredients very carefully. My skin is sensitive, so I get irritated unless I use truly gentle products. I needed a home care product that is gentle, non-irritating, and provides plenty of moisture. In skin regeneration, the factor called EGF is essential, and this cream contains both EGF and collagen, which enhance cell regeneration and improve skin elasticity. Because of that, it not only has the effect of regenerating the skin but also improves wrinkles... I just couldn't help but use it haha And originally, I have sensitive skin and a personality that can't tolerate stuffiness, so I couldn't apply rich or thick textures of not only regenerative creams but also moisturizing creams on my skin. But this product has a quite moist texture, so it absorbs quickly and spreads well, which was great. Furthermore, it was very good that it contains 100% natural lavender oil, which is not an ingredient that irritates the skin with artificial fragrances, and that it uses ingredients derived from nature. For now, I think I can manage the small acne with home care by applying this regenerating cream!

[Health Column] My Implant Is Loose or Has Fallen Out! | Causes and Emergency Response Explained by a Prosthodontist[2]

hello! Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Chief Director Jae-wook Jeong It is. 👋 💬 "I spent a lot of money and time just to get this implant done... but suddenly I felt a snap and it's loose. Do I have to have the surgery done all over again? And what about the cost?" If a dental implant you have been using perfectly fine suddenly becomes loose or falls out one day, it is natural for anyone to feel a sinking heart and anxiety. You are likely to be worried, asking, "Is this a side effect?" or "Do I have to have a re-operation from the beginning?" ⚠️ To start with the conclusion, there is no need to panic! Among the implant structures, ' This is because there is a very high probability that it is a minor issue where some screws have come slightly loose. . In today's column, I will explain in a very easy-to-understand way, from the perspective of a prosthodontist, the three real causes of loose or falling implants, as well as emergency measures you should absolutely never take before visiting the dentist. ✨ 1️⃣ What is the structure of an implant? 👋 If you understand the prefabricated structure, you can see the reason for the shaking and the answer. While natural teeth are connected to the bone as a whole, implants, which are artificial teeth, have a 'modular structure' composed of a total of three parts. 🔩 🔸 Fixture: An artificial tooth root firmly embedded in the gum bone 🔸 Crown: An artificial tooth shaped like a white head that is visible to the eye. 🔸 Abutment: An intermediate post connecting the root (fixture) and the crown (secured with a small screw) 🔎 The cause is right here! If the strong pressure generated when we chew food every day persists for a long time, this small screw (Abutment Screw) connecting the post and the head may loosen slightly. 💡 If, fortunately, your gum bone is perfectly fine but only this screw is loose, the head portion will wobble or fall out. In this case, please rest assured that the issue can be easily resolved by visiting the dentist to tighten the screw securely or replace it with a new one! 2️⃣ What is the real cause of implants becoming loose and falling out? 👋 From simple parts issues to signals from the gum bone, the response varies depending on the cause. 🛠️ Cause 1. When the 'dental adhesive' securing the crown has melted Dental adhesive is used to attach the implant head (crown) to the post. However, the mouth is a harsh environment where saliva (moisture) is always abundant and strong chewing forces are constantly at work. Because of this, over time, the adhesive naturally dissolves, causing only the crown to detach. 📌 Since there is no problem with the root itself, please bring the detached crown to the dental clinic, and we will clean the inside thoroughly and reattach it securely. 🚨 Cause 2. The most dangerous sign! When bone has eroded due to 'peri-implantitis' If the two issues mentioned earlier are minor 'parts problems,' the most serious cause to watch out for is 'peri-implantitis.' Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the defensive tissue called the 'periodontal ligament' that prevents bacterial invasion. If tartar and plaque accumulate around the implant and cause inflammation, the gum bone will erode at a very rapid rate. ⚠️ If the gum bone has eroded and the artificial root (fixture) itself becomes loose, the existing implant must be removed. Gum treatment and bone grafting must be performed first, followed by re-surgery. If the tooth becomes loose accompanied by pus or a foul odor from the gums, you must visit a dentist immediately! 3️⃣ What are the 3 things to 'absolutely avoid' when an implant is loose? 👋 An unintentional action taken out of panic ends up requiring a shovel to fix what could have been fixed with a hoe. Before going to the dentist, you must absolutely not do the following out of anxiety! 🙅‍♂️ ❌ Trying to shake it repeatedly with your hand or tongue: This may cause the screw to break completely inside or cause additional damage to the surrounding gum bone. ❌ Continue chewing food on the missing side: If the pillar part remaining where the head fell off is damaged or broken, the entire pillar must be replaced. Be sure to eat on the opposite side! ❌ Attempting to fit it back in yourself or neglecting it: If you roughly try to fit a detached crown back in at home, it can misalign the bite (occlusion) and allow foreign substances to enter, causing inflammation. Furthermore, if left untreated for a long time, surrounding teeth may tilt into the empty space, making reattachment impossible. ❔ FAQ: Everything About Implant Prosthesis Dislodgement Q1. The entire crown of my implant fell out. I'm busy, so would it be okay if I came back a few days later? A1. You must visit us as soon as possible! If you leave the missing tooth untreated for more than a week, the surrounding teeth will subtly tilt or shift toward the empty space. Additionally, gum tissue will fill in around the post, preventing the existing prosthesis from fitting. In this case, a perfectly good prosthesis must be remade, which increases both the cost and the treatment period. 😥 Q2. If I go to the dentist because my implant is loose, do I have to have it extracted and undergo re-surgery no matter what? A2. No! The treatment varies completely depending on the cause of the loosening. If the internal screw has simply come loose or the adhesive has melted, the issue can be resolved very simply by retightening or reattaching the existing parts, and this applies to the majority of patients. However, if bone has eroded due to peri-implantitis, re-surgery may be necessary, so you must confirm the exact condition through a dental examination. Q3. Why do the implant screws come loose so often? Was the procedure done incorrectly? A3. This is due to the immense chewing force of the human jaw and the limitations of the 'screw structure,' rather than a problem with the procedure itself. Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the 'periodontal ligament' that absorbs shock, so the impact is transmitted directly to the bone and the screw. If you enjoy tough or hard foods, or have habits of teeth grinding or clenching, the screw may loosen more frequently. Q4. If the prosthesis falls out or breaks, do I have to bear all the costs? A4. Treatment is available free of charge or at a partial cost, depending on the 'Warranty Period Regulations' of the dental clinic where you received the procedure. Most dental clinics operate their own warranty systems. However, please be sure to check the clinic's guidelines, as you may be excluded from the warranty if you completely failed to keep regular check-up appointments or if there was clear negligence on your part (such as neglecting severe bruxism or consuming hard foods)! 🔍 🎯 Conclusion: Regular checkups that adhere to the golden time are key! When an implant becomes loose or falls out, the most important thing is 'speed'. 🏃‍♂️ Even if it is a simple issue with parts or adhesive, if left untreated for a long time, the gum tissue will fill the empty space, causing a simple treatment to escalate into a complex and major one. If there is a missing prosthesis (crown), place it in a clean gauze or container. Please visit the dental clinic within 1 to 2 days at the latest This is the golden time to protect your precious implants safely and at the lowest cost. 💡 Key Management Points from the Director!

Thanks to the Pico MLA toning treatment, my inflammatory acne has almost completely disappeared.[4]

Recently, perhaps due to stress, I developed a lot of inflammatory acne on my face, lost skin elasticity, and my skin tone darkened, so I visited Yesom Clinic in Jamsil for a consultation. I received advice regarding the effectiveness of Pico MLA Toning, and after returning home, I personally researched the treatment and asked acquaintances for their opinions before deciding to undergo the procedure. After the treatment, my inflammatory acne has almost completely disappeared, my melasma has faded slightly, and my skin elasticity seems better than before, so I am very satisfied with the results of the Pico MLA Toning. I first learned about the effects of Pico MLA toning while receiving a consultation, and I learned more about them in detail by personally researching information and asking people. I heard that Pico MLA toning is a treatment method that uses a more finely tuned laser than standard laser toning to damage the epidermis, thereby minimizing skin damage, enhancing treatment efficacy, and reducing side effects. After doing thorough research, I received the Pico MLA Toning treatment with a certain level of confidence in its effectiveness. As a result, I am now very satisfied with the results, but to be honest, before my skin stabilized, I was a little anxious about its effectiveness for a brief moment. This was because immediately after the procedure, my face looked quite uneven and bumpy, with small pimples appearing here and there, so my condition didn't look very good. But after applying moisturizing and regenerating creams and doing face masks every day for a while, the effects of the Pico MLA toning treatment gradually started to become noticeably apparent. Now that my skin has completely stabilized, the inflammatory acne has all cleared up and is no longer visible. My dark spots have also faded significantly, and above all, I am extremely satisfied because my skin tone has brightened and elasticity has improved, which I hadn't expected.

What is the most effective way to treat acne?[9]

The pimple I squeezed earlier this year is still dull.[5]

I have a pimple that I couldn't resist squeezing at home. It was quite deep, so I squeezed it more like a pinch. Once I thought I had extracted all the concentrated fluid inside, I immediately applied Fucidin, and after a few days, I consistently applied a regenerating ointment as well. It has improved a lot compared to before, but that area still looks dull, so I'm worried. As far as I remember, I squeezed it early this year. It really takes a long time to heal. Is there any trick to this besides going to a dermatologist?

Before starting the consultation, they thoroughly checked my current skin condition and asked in detail about the causes of my acne and my usual skincare habits. I was impressed by how meticulously you checked everything from what cosmetics I usually use, when my acne gets worse, to my lifestyle habits. The doctor explained the care methods and treatment direction suitable for my current skin condition in an easy-to-understand way. I felt confident during the consultation because they didn't just talk about the procedure, but explained step-by-step why acne occurs and what kind of care is needed. I asked questions one by one about things I was curious about, and I was satisfied because they answered in detail without showing any signs of annoyance. The best thing about it was that there was no overtreatment. At first, I was worried that I might be recommended various procedures, but they considered my skin condition first and explained the necessary treatments and care methods. I felt no pressure because the atmosphere wasn't one of unconditionally recommending expensive procedures. I also liked that you explained the distinction between the care needed right now and the treatments that can be considered later.

Still, it wasn't long enough to be a major inconvenience. The consultation was more thorough than I expected. The doctor first checked my current acne condition and then explained in order why acne occurs and which treatment is suitable, making it easy to understand. They also provided information on daily skincare and managing acne marks, which resolved many of my questions, and they kindly answered each one of my inquiries. They explained the pricing in detail beforehand, and the atmosphere was not one of strongly pressuring me for any specific procedure. They guided me through various treatment methods based on my skin condition and explained the pros and cons of each, allowing me to receive the consultation without feeling pressured. After the consultation, I was impressed by the fact that this place doesn't just recommend procedures unconditionally, but rather works together with the client to determine the best course of action for their current skin condition. Although the slight waiting time was a bit disappointing, the consultation itself was thorough and the explanations were sufficient, so I felt a sense of trust overall. I believe it is a place worth visiting for a consultation if you are struggling with acne.

The Real Reason You Must Get a Forehead Lift Along with Upper Eyelid Surgery in Your 50s (Maximizing Before-and-After Difference)[6]

hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. As I enter middle age, whenever I look in the mirror, I notice that the skin around my eyes and the tissues on my forehead are sagging, unlike before. If your eyelids droop heavily and your eyebrows drop, it is easy to look much more tired or older than your natural appearance. In such cases, many people simply assume it is an eyelid issue and only consider upper blepharoplasty. In reality, the underlying cause is often the forehead and eyebrows sagging together. Today, let's take a closer look at an anti-aging combination that transforms dull-looking eyes into a refreshing look and effectively addresses the root causes of aging! 💡 The root cause of eyelid drooping is not the eyelid itself, but, Descent of the forehead and eyebrows It may be. Upper eyelid surgery and forehead lift Synergy combination Expect a natural and perfect anti-aging effect! 🔹 Why are upper eyelid surgery and forehead lifts a perfect match for middle-aged women? It lifts sagging eyelids and drooping eyebrows simultaneously to address the root cause of aging. So why does a synergistic effect occur when the two surgeries are performed together? It is because the upper parts of our face are closely connected to each other. 1. Solving the root cause of eyelid sagging! 📌 For middle-aged women, it is not just the skin of the eyelids that stretches; often, the eyebrows themselves droop downwards. Upper eyelid surgery completely tightens sagging eyelid skin, but it cannot lift drooping eyebrows. If a forehead lift is performed in conjunction with this, the eyebrows are lifted to a normal position, and the entire area around the eyes becomes brighter. 2. Creating a natural eye shape without artificiality ✨ If upper eyelid surgery is performed aggressively without addressing the condition of the drooping eyebrows, excessive skin may be removed, resulting in a fierce or artificial appearance of the eyes. However, if you combine it with a forehead lift, the eyebrows and eyelids are harmoniously improved, making your impression less harsh, your eyes look naturally refreshed, and your field of vision widens. 3. Smooth out even deepening forehead wrinkles! ✔️ When our eyelids droop heavily, we unconsciously raise our forehead muscles to open our eyes wider. This compensatory mechanism causes deep wrinkles to form on the forehead. A forehead lift helps significantly improve forehead wrinkles by correcting this habit of opening the eyes. 4. Transformation from a gloomy and angry impression to a bright and youthful impression 🥰 When the eyelids and eyebrows are lifted simultaneously, the dark shadows on the face disappear. If you are someone who is often misunderstood by those around you as looking sleepy, tired, angry, or depressed, you can expect a noticeably bright and vibrant youthful appearance. 5. Reduced risk of re-surgery due to unsatisfactory results! 📉 If you perform surgery on only the eyes without accounting for eyebrow sagging, the eyelids may look heavy again after a short time, and satisfaction may drop significantly. In fact, there are many cases where patients consider revision surgery due to this, but combining a forehead lift from the beginning can significantly reduce the risk of such revision surgery. 🔹 Why do people feel that upper eyelid surgery alone is not enough? This is because aging around the eyes is not just a problem of the eyelids, but a complex phenomenon in which the forehead, eyebrows, and temples change together. Many people think, "My eyelids are just sagging, so I'll just need eye surgery, right?" However, insisting on a standalone surgery often leads to some regrets. ⚠️ Eyebrow drooping could be the real cause. Even if it appears as though the eyelids are sagging, in most cases, it is actually the eyebrows pushing down and covering the skin. Since the cause lies elsewhere, simply cutting off the eyelids will not resolve the fundamental problem. ⚠️ If you cut away too much skin, it may cause discomfort. If an excessive amount of eyelid skin is removed without calculating the amount of eyebrow sagging, you may suffer after surgery from difficulty closing your eyes, a feeling of tightness in the eye area, or an unnatural, closed-off appearance. ⚠️ Forehead wrinkles and restricted vision remain. Since upper eyelid surgery thoroughly improves the eyelids themselves, it has no effect on forehead wrinkles or the position of sagging eyebrows. If eyebrow sagging is severe, surgery on the eyes alone may not provide clear vision, leading to continued functional frustration. To achieve balance across the entire upper face, you must comprehensively consider the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, and temples to get closer to the correct answer. 🔹 What changes occur when upper eyelid surgery and a forehead lift are performed together? You can simultaneously achieve functional improvements with an unobstructed view and aesthetic effects that balance the entire face. When the two surgeries are combined, the synergy effect is doubled. The specific expected benefits are as follows: Solve functional frustrations! 💡 🔹 Improved vision and reduced eye strain: As sagging skin is lifted, your field of vision becomes clear and unobstructed, and fatigue in the muscles around the eyes is significantly reduced. 🔹 Improvement in eye-opening strength: Your eyes open comfortably without having to force them open. 🔹 Reduced use of forehead muscles: It becomes much more comfortable because you don't have to squeeze your forehead to open your eyes. Aesthetic anti-aging effect! ✨ 🔹 Clear and lively eyes: The sleepy and tired impression changes clearly. 🔹 Natural eyebrow position: The eyebrows find their proper place without looking forced, making the impression softer. 🔹 Forehead wrinkle reduction and a youthful appearance: As the compensatory action of the forehead muscles decreases, deep forehead wrinkles are naturally alleviated, giving a brighter impression. 🔹 What are the side effects you should know before becoming beautiful? Since all plastic surgeries can cause side effects depending on the individual, you must check thoroughly beforehand and make a prudent decision. For safe and satisfactory results, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with potential symptoms in advance. division Possible side effects and symptoms Side effects of upper eyelid surgery Swelling, bruising, asymmetry, and scarring, which are typically expected after surgery, may occur. Additionally, as this is a surgery involving the eye, dry eye syndrome However, initial discomfort with eye closing may occur, and overcorrection or undercorrection may occur. Forehead lift side effects surgical site Temporary loss of sensation and you may experience a pulling sensation in the scalp. As with upper eyelid surgery, swelling, bruising, asymmetry, and scarring may occur, and hair loss may develop around the incision site, or very rarely, nerve damage There is a possibility. 🔹 If you have decided on parallel surgery? Please make sure to pay attention to this! Since facial structure and the rate of aging vary from person to person, a precise, customized plan is essential. Please be sure to check the following points for successful comprehensive anti-aging. 🔍 Analysis of individual aging status is necessary — Changes in the entire upper face, including the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, and temples, must be analyzed in three dimensions. 📐 Eyebrow position measurement is essential. You must accurately measure how far down your eyebrows are to prevent an unnatural look. ✏️ Precise plan for the amount of skin excision — A sophisticated design must be included to prevent side effects caused by excessive resection. 👨‍⚕️ Choosing experienced medical staff is important — As two surgeries are performed simultaneously, the expertise of a specialist with extensive anatomical knowledge determines safety. 💡 I highly recommend this to people like this! ✔ For those whose vision is usually restricted and blurry due to drooping eyelids ✔ For those whose forehead wrinkles have become particularly deep due to the habit of raising their eyebrows ✔ For those whose eyebrows droop over their eyes, making their impression look stifled ✔ Those who have been diagnosed that upper eyelid surgery alone will not be sufficient to improve the effects of aging ✔ Middle-aged women who want natural, non-artificial anti-aging effects 🔹 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Upper eyelid surgery alone would suffice; is a forehead lift absolutely necessary? A1. It is not absolutely necessary. However, if the underlying cause of eyelid drooping is 'eyebrow descent,' satisfaction may be lower if only upper eyelid surgery is performed, so performing a forehead lift together can lead to much more natural and complete results. Q2. If I have two surgeries at the same time, will the recovery period become extremely long? A2. Swelling and bruising may last a little longer in the initial stages compared to performing only one surgery. However, there is an advantage in being able to improve both the eyes and forehead in a single recovery process, rather than undergoing two separate recovery periods for each surgery. Q3. If I get a forehead lift, won't my eyes be lifted too high and make me look fierce? A3. By precisely considering your individual facial proportions and eyebrow position for proper correction, the result will not look unnaturally lifted as you are concerned. On the contrary, you can achieve a comfortable and natural lifting effect that looks just like your original self. 🔹 Conclusion 🔹 Key Points: The key to eye surgery for middle-aged women is not simply making the eyes bigger, but balancing the upper face, extending from the forehead to the eyebrows and eyelids. 🔹 Management Points: Depending on the individual's rate of aging and daily lifestyle habits after surgery, the effects can be maintained healthily for several years or more. 🔹 Necessity of specialist consultation: To accurately determine the true cause of your drooping eyelids, we strongly recommend that you first receive a precise diagnosis from a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience. I hope you find the real cause hidden behind your drooping eyes and regain your most beautiful and vibrant gaze! ✨ Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Baek In-soo - Graduated from Korea University College of Medicine - Graduated from Korea University Graduate School (Major in Plastic Surgery) - Plastic surgeon at the National Medical Center - (Former) Chief Director of Jewelry Plastic Surgery Clinic - 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 Contouring Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons - Regular member of the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons - Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons View more expert columns by Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic 🔗 [Health Column] Improving Eyelid Sagging in Middle Age: Key Points of Natural-Looking Upper Blepharoplasty 🔗 [Health Column] Why Under-Eye Surgery Changes Mid-Face Impression: A Summary of SOOF Lower Blepharoplasty Standards 🔗 [Health Column] Why You Should Consider Forehead Reduction and Forehead Lift Together 🔗 [Health Column] Under-eye Surgery for Those in Their 40s: Is Lower Blepharoplasty Always the Answer?

A red, raised bump of acne had settled in the center of my nose, so I went to the dermatologist. The dermatologist told me that pimple-type acne needs to be treated with anti-inflammatory injections. . I’m going to talk about satisfaction with anti-inflammatory injections for pimple-type acne at the dermatology clinic. . Pimple-like acne What is the satisfaction level with the anti-inflammatory injection? When you receive an anti-inflammatory injection for pimple-type acne, the steroid component inside the injection soothes inflammation and quickly reduces swelling, thereby shrinking the size of the acne and treating it. Satisfaction with the anti-inflammatory injection for pimple-type acne may not be high on the first day because the size of the acne does not decrease. . The day after receiving the anti-inflammatory injection for pimple-like acne, the size gradually decreased, and as time passed, the raised area slowly disappeared, so my satisfaction with the injection is getting better and better. . Anti-inflammatory injections are given to areas with pimples or acne. I received injection number 1. Also, rather than the size of the pimple-like acne shrinking, I have swelling and a red, extracted sensation on my nose because it was squeezed initially. As for my satisfaction with the anti-inflammatory injection for pimple-type acne, when I woke up the next day after receiving the injection, the size of the pimple-type acne had decreased slightly, to the point where I could immediately feel it. However, since it was extracted, there are still red marks remaining. Nevertheless, I am satisfied with the acne inflammation injection because the size of the pimple has decreased. Although satisfaction with the anti-inflammatory injection for pimple-type acne may not be satisfactory because the raised and red areas do not disappear immediately within a day, You need to be patient for about 3-4 days, or a week. Then, as the size and inflammation decrease and you can see the redness gradually disappear, your satisfaction with the acne inflammation injection improves. Satisfaction with the anti-inflammatory injection for pimples may vary depending on the size of the pimple. .. It seems that the sooner the acne has been on and the smaller it is, the faster it heals. . Above all, I heard that for pimple-type acne, if you don't get an anti-inflammatory injection, pus forms nodules inside, so the acne won't go away. . The conclusion is rigid Regarding satisfaction with anti-inflammatory injections for swollen, inflamed acne or non-bursting pimples without visible pus, the effect is faster if you go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive the injection when pimples appear.

An honest review of my visit to Seoul Yonsei Canvas Dermatology Clinic, where I erased acne scars with the V-Beam laser.[20]

Lately, the red, bumpy acne marks remaining on my face were not fading easily, causing me great stress every time I looked in the mirror. To address this, I began considering V-Beam laser treatment, and after thorough research, I visited Seoul Yonsei Canvas Dermatology Clinic, a trustworthy clinic. To be honest, before visiting, I hesitated for quite a while due to concerns about the pain during the laser procedure or potential side effects, such as my face breaking out even more afterward. However, as soon as I entered Seoul Yonsei Canvas Dermatology Clinic, the pleasant and professional atmosphere helped me gradually relax. During the consultation, the director precisely diagnosed my skin condition and kindly explained the principle of how the V-Beam laser works on red marks in a way that even an elementary school student could easily understand. I gained deep trust in the director for honestly suggesting only the necessary number of sessions and aftercare methods, without recommending excessive overtreatment, and I decided to proceed with the procedure. After actually undergoing the procedure, I found the pain to be much less than I had feared. Thanks to the equipment's cooling system, I was able to complete the treatment more comfortably than I expected, leading me to feel a pleasant surprise and wish I had come sooner. As time passes, I am personally experiencing positive effects, such as the redness fading noticeably and my skin tone becoming clearer, so my current satisfaction is at its highest. If there are others like me who have been losing sleep worrying about acne scars, I strongly recommend that you put your vague concerns aside and receive meticulous care here.

Could I get a huge pimple because the foundation I use doesn't suit my skin?[1]

Could I get a huge pimple because the foundation I use doesn't suit my skin? I am very interested in skincare, so I get enough sleep, and I'm trying to cut down on greasy foods and control my diet, but I'm worried because huge pimples keep popping up around my mouth. Especially since it wasn't just one or two, but large ones that flared up and turned red, it was hard to cover them up even with makeup. Could it be that the foundation I am using doesn't suit my skin? Or could there be another cause? I am very concerned because this keeps happening even though I am washing my face and moisturizing thoroughly. I really want to have beautiful skin, but I'm worried that I might be doing it wrong. If anyone has had a similar experience, it would be really helpful if you could share how you resolved it.

Can small indented scars caused by acne also be treated with a laser?[7]

I also squeezed out the acne that kept popping up on my chin. I've also had acne injections a few times at the dermatology clinic. At some point, I noticed a small, round groove on the chin. It was there. It's small, but it's subtly bothering me. It looks like a small indented scar caused by acne. Do these kinds of scars sometimes improve naturally? Or should I get scar treatment or a procedure?

I had a consultation about acne, but I'm still debating whether to get a procedure.[6]

I had been struggling with acne, pigmentation, and enlarged pores for a long time, so I finally consulted a dermatologist. Many of my questions were answered during the consultation, and the professional explanations put my mind at ease; however, I am still hesitant to decide on a procedure right away. Therefore, I plan to take more time to think it over before making a decision. I had been quite stressed for a long time due to facial acne, severe pigmentation, and enlarged pores. Then, after reading online reviews and receiving recommendations from acquaintances, I mustered the courage to visit a dermatologist for a consultation. I was hesitant because I was a bit scared of the procedure itself, and I was worried about the cost and unsure if the results would be guaranteed. At the clinic I visited for the first time, the doctor kindly and thoroughly checked my skin condition and calmly explained a customized treatment plan covering everything from acne to pigmentation and pore issues. Thanks to them, many of the questions and vague anxieties I had been harboring have significantly decreased. However, to be honest, I haven't been able to reach a conclusion yet on whether I absolutely need the procedure. I need to think more about potential side effects and whether the treatment is suitable for my skin, and I also need to weigh the cost and time involved. Still, after the consultation, I realized that there are treatment methods tailored to my skin and that it is important to make a decision after discussing it with a professional. So, for now, I plan to take my time considering various options to make the best choice.

Review of eye asymmetry and increased forehead wrinkles resulting from side effects of eye shape correction surgery[6]

I developed uneven eyes after eyelid correction surgery. Due to the side effects of eyelid correction surgery, I developed a complex I didn't have before, and I am still bothered by it and stressed about it. I am leaving this review in the hope that anyone considering surgery will also look into cases of side effects. The photo above is a picture of me before I had eye shape correction surgery. My eyes weren't originally exactly the same size, but I rarely heard anyone say that I had uneven eyes. However, my ability to open my eyes seemed weak, and when I took photos, my eyes looked a bit stuffy, so I started considering eye shape correction. When I had a consultation at the hospital, I was told that eyelid correction would improve the strength of opening the eyes and create a clearer impression. At the time, I thought that simply having surgery would result in high satisfaction. I looked up a lot of online reviews, and since most of them were positive, I wasn't too worried. Of course, I did see posts about the side effects of eyelid correction, but I thought it wouldn't apply to me. However, I started to feel something strange after my recovery from the surgery was somewhat complete. The first thing that caught my eye was the thickness of the double eyelid. The double eyelid line on the right was much thicker than the left, and the difference did not decrease over time. At first, I thought it was due to swelling and waited, but it remained the same even after several months. From then on, I gradually became more anxious and sensitive. Eventually, it reached the point where even the people around me recognized it first. You can tell how serious it is just by looking at the photo, right? Not only my close friends but even people I hadn't seen in a long time told me that my eyes looked uneven. Originally, I rarely heard anyone say that I had uneven eyes, but after the surgery, I frequently heard people say that my right eye looks thicker and the shape of my eye looks different, to the point where anyone can see it. For me, this was the biggest side effect of the eyelid correction. Another problem was the power to open one's eyes. The original reason for the eyelid correction was to strengthen the muscles that open the eyes, but as a result, both sides did not improve in a balanced way. I felt that the strength to open my right eye had increased, but I didn't feel much difference in my left eye compared to before the surgery. So when I look straight ahead, my right eye opens wider and my left eye looks relatively smaller. This was one of the typical side effects of eyelid correction surgery that I experienced. Furthermore, the strength used to open the eyes has also changed on both sides. While my right eye opened relatively easily, I still felt the need to strain my left eye. As a result, I unconsciously used my forehead to open my eyes, and over time, my forehead wrinkles increased noticeably. I originally had surgery to improve the muscles that open my eyes, but instead, due to the side effects of the eyelid correction, I ended up with a habit of tensing my forehead. There have been more days when I look in the mirror and see fine wrinkles all over my forehead. It's really stressful. The height of my eyebrows has also changed from before. If you compare the photos, you can see that the right eyebrow is slightly higher than the left, right? The overall balance of the face also looked different. Since people look not just at the eyes but also at the harmony between the eyes and eyebrows, the difference in eyebrow height felt more significant than expected. I hadn't anticipated this aspect at all before the surgery. However, after actually experiencing the side effects of eye shape correction, I realized that it can affect not only eye size but also eyebrow position and facial expressions. The difference was more visible when I took a picture. My eyes looked different every time I took a selfie, so I ended up retaking it several times, and I naturally started checking my eyes first when looking in the mirror. After experiencing side effects from eyelid correction, I looked back at my old photos and actually thought that I looked more natural before the surgery. I can't even make proper eye contact because I worry that people will notice my uneven eyes at a glance whenever I make eye contact. Of course, not everyone will experience the same side effects of eyelid correction as I did. There are many people who are satisfied, and there are certainly those who achieve good results. However, I believe that before surgery, you should not focus solely on the advantages but also thoroughly investigate the potential side effects of eyelid correction. In particular, I strongly recommend that you check for cases of side effects such as asymmetry, uneven eyes, overcorrection, undercorrection, and differences in the strength of the left and right eyelids!! Even now, whenever I look in the mirror, I am bothered by the difference in the thickness of my double eyelids, and when taking photos, I am conscious of the difference in eye size. I've also become more conscious of the difference in eyebrow height and forehead wrinkles than before. I have even considered revision surgery, but I cannot easily make a decision because I am worried about another side effect from the eyelid correction. Before the surgery, I thought that the side effects of eyelid correction were something that happened to other people. However, having experienced it firsthand, I realized that even a small difference can be a significant source of stress. If you are considering eyelid correction, I hope you will listen to opinions from various clinics, get an accurate diagnosis of your current eye condition, and make a careful decision!! My experience may not apply to everyone, but speaking from the perspective of someone who actually suffered from the side effects of eyelid correction surgery, You must fully consider not only the benefits of the surgery but also the potential side effects of eyelid correction!! I developed uneven eyes that I didn't have before, and I experienced asymmetry where my right eye looks bigger, a difference in eyebrow height, and even increased forehead wrinkles. If you are considering surgery in the future, I hope you will carefully check not only satisfaction reviews but also reviews regarding side effects of eyelid correction.
