Visit verification complete #300,000 won implant with no additional fees I received a consultation for implants and had the surgery right away. The consultants were very friendly. My teeth were in poor condition, so my husband and I decided to go for the implant surgery together. There were a lot of people, so the waiting time was quite long, but the surgery itself didn't take too much time. I was afraid of the implants and delayed the procedure for too long, which resulted in having to extract many teeth, causing some discomfort. However, there are many positive reviews, and since so many people choose this service, I went ahead with it.

Don't get implant treatment just anywhere; it can quickly damage your gums. Dr. at King Kong Dental Hospital really knows how to perform the surgery well. I had it done under sedation, so I didn't feel any pressure, and I’m satisfied. The hospital is clean, and the staff is really friendly; everything is great.

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

이정호 원장26.06.30Views 75Likes 4 How to Reduce Cost and Pain from Your Major Implant Surgery[3]
It is only natural to feel a sudden surge of fear when you receive an implant diagnosis during a dental check-up. After all, there are plenty of concerns, ranging from the long treatment period and hefty cost to the pain of surgery. In times like these, it is crucial to find a clinic specializing in implants through recommendations from acquaintances or reviews. If a place transparently discloses additional costs and administers anesthesia meticulously to minimize pain, even a timid person can successfully complete the procedure.
말해뭐해26.06.24Views 62Likes 2 I was worried about pain before the implant surgery at Top Dental Clinic.[13]
I had a 15-year-old crowned tooth extracted because it developed cavities. When I was looking into implant surgery, my biggest concerns were the cost and the pain. It was a relief that there were still many dental clinics offering discounts on costs... As someone with a fear of dentists, I was really scared and afraid of implant surgery. I visited Top Dental Clinic for a consultation on a friend's recommendation... The director was kind and nice, and he thoroughly explained the condition of my teeth and bones after taking the panoramic X-ray and CT scan. That really put my mind at ease. They helped me stay calm on the day of the surgery as well. Thanks to the director and hygienist, who were so considerate and made sure I didn't feel any pain, I was able to successfully have the implant surgery. Since I had anesthesia, it wasn't as painful as I had feared, the swelling was less, and the pain was bearable with painkillers. To those of you facing implants, please don't worry too much. Even a scaredy-cat like me managed to get through it safely. Top Dental Clinic really gets a perfect score of 100 out of 100.
릴리윤26.06.13Views 127Likes 3 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist[1]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

이정호 원장26.06.30Views 75Likes 4 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist[1]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

이현섭 원장26.04.30Views 436Likes 4 [Health Column] Choosing Toothpaste After Implant Surgery: Why You Shouldn't Just Use Any Toothpaste[9]
hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Anyone who is about to have implant surgery or has just had surgery has probably thought about this at least once. “When should I start brushing my teeth?”, “Can I still use the same toothpaste I normally use?” Surprisingly Choosing Toothpaste After Implant Surgery is an important management factor that affects the surgical outcome and recovery process. But most people tend to stick to their old habits without much explanation. today Why You Should Care About Your Toothpaste After Implant Surgery Let me summarize. Why does the oral environment change after implant surgery? 🦷Because implants are structurally different from natural teeth, their management standards are also different. Although implants look similar to natural teeth, their structure is completely different. Natural teeth have a periodontal ligament that cushions the impact and prevents bacterial invasion. Implants are A state where bones and metal structures are directly connected no see. so More sensitive to external stimuli Inflammation can progress rapidly ⚠️ For this reason, choosing toothpaste during implant surgery should not be viewed as a simple choice of daily necessities, but as a ‘part of care.’ What is the first toothpaste standard to check after implant surgery? 🦷The key is the abrasive level and whether it irritates the gums. Why is a lower RDA better? Toothpaste contains stain remover abrasive It contains. But the higher the number, the greater the friction. General commercial toothpaste: RDA 70-100 or more Toothpaste with whitening properties: RDA 120-150 or higher If you use this toothpaste immediately after implant surgery, As the border area of the prosthesis wears slightly, Risk of bacterial invasion This can grow. ✔️ Recommended criteria RDA 30~50 or less Products labeled 'low-abrasive toothpaste' Why should I check for surfactants (SLS)? When there is a lot of foam, it is easy to feel that it is 'cleaning well', The key ingredient of that foam is SLS series surfactants This is often the case. This ingredient is Stimulates the gum mucosa It makes your mouth dry May slow down the healing of surgical sites ⚠️ It is especially important to reduce stimulation immediately after implant surgery, as the gums are not yet stable. ✔️ Recommended criteria SLS-FREE labeling Surfactant-free or naturally derived surfactants Is more fluoride better? 🦷Fluoride is important in ‘appropriate amounts’. Fluoride is an ingredient that helps prevent cavities, Immediately after implant surgery Excessive fluoride irritates the mucous membranes may cause. When using high-fluoride toothpaste Stinging discomfort This may appear in some cases, so caution is required in the early stages. ✔️ Toothpaste selection criteria Fluorine content: approximately 900 to 1,000 ppm If you are having trouble deciding between high and low fluoride, choose the 'medium level' Will toothpaste with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients help? 🦷Antibacterial ingredients that can be managed without irritation may be helpful. Implants are relatively vulnerable to inflammation because of their limited vascular supply. thus Inhibits bacterial growth Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients Toothpaste containing this may help. For example, CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride) green tea extract Herbal extract ingredients Xylitol but, ❌ Rather than focusing on strong sterilization ✔️ A level that can be used continuously without stimulation This is more important. Do I really need to use toothpaste specifically for implants? 🦷What matters is not the ‘name’ but the ‘ingredients and whether it is irritating’. To conclude, A toothpaste specifically for implants is not required. What's more important than expensive products is 👉 Ingredient composition 👉 Abrasive level 👉 Whether or not there is gum irritation. When choosing a toothpaste for implant surgery, choose a product that meets the criteria. Using it consistently This is much more important. FAQ Q1. Can I use toothpaste immediately after implant surgery? A1. Since the care method may vary depending on the condition of the gums immediately after surgery, it is recommended to follow the medical staff's instructions regarding the timing and products to be used. Q2. When can I start using whitening toothpaste? A2. Whitening toothpaste often contains high levels of abrasives, so it is safer to avoid it immediately after surgery and use it after your gums have stabilized and after a consultation. Q3. Are there any maintenance factors more important than toothpaste? A3. Yes. As much as toothpaste. Brushing methods and habits This is important. conclusion The implant surgery is over, but Management starts from then It will work. Choosing toothpaste during implant surgery may seem trivial, but it can affect the long-term health of your implants. ✔️ It doesn't have to be expensive ✔️ Avoid whitening and foam-focused toothpastes. ✔️ Check the ingredient list again And most importantly How to use no see. Use a soft toothbrush Brush your teeth gently and gently If necessary, use auxiliary tools recommended by the dentist. The toothpaste you use today can determine the future condition of your implants. The first step in management, Please reconsider your choice of toothpaste.

View moreThe most common concern before double eyelid surgery: Buried Suture Method vs. Incisional Method—which method is right for me?[4]
hello! Director Kim So-young of View Plastic Surgery no see. ✨ When conducting consultations for double eyelid surgery, there is a common question that patients ask most frequently. as soon as " Doctor, should I have the buried suture method or the incision method? It's a question about... 💬 If you look at reviews on the internet or social media, you will find many comments saying that "the buried suture method is natural and recovery is fast," and "the incisional method creates a distinct line that lasts a long time." However, when you are actually facing your own surgery, it is only natural to feel even more confused and worried about which choice is right. 🤔 So today, I will explain the real differences between the buried suture method and the incisional method—which many of you lose sleep worrying about—and pinpoint the key points in an easy-to-understand way to help you figure out which method is the perfect fit for your eyes! 👇 1️⃣ My friend became beautiful with the buried suture method, so why do I have to have the incisional method? This is one of the stories I hear very often in the counseling room. There are people who express disappointment, asking, "My friend's results turned out incredibly natural with the buried suture method, so why do you recommend the incisional method for me?" 🥲 However, double eyelid surgery is The surgical method varies completely depending strictly on the individual's eye structure. 👁️ The thickness of the eyelid skin, the amount of fat, the degree of skin sagging, and the strength of the muscles that open the eyes—such diverse and complex factors must be considered comprehensively. Therefore, even with the same monolid eyes, some people achieve perfect results with the buried suture method alone, while others require the incisional method to obtain satisfactory results that do not come undone. 👍 Rather than blindly following others' reviews or surgical methods, it is most important to have your eye condition accurately diagnosed by a specialist. ✨ 2️⃣ Who is the perfect fit for the buried suture method for natural-looking eyes? A method that promotes natural and rapid recovery by tying through small holes without incising the skin! The buried suture method is a surgical technique that creates a tight double eyelid line using medical sutures by making tiny holes instead of directly incising the skin. 🧵 Since it doesn't involve a scalpel, it has the strong advantage of relatively less swelling and a noticeably shorter recovery period. 🚀 📌 I highly recommend the buried suture method to these people! ✅ Those with naturally thin eyelid skin ✅ For those who do not have much fat on their eyelids ✅ Those who do not have severe skin sagging ✅ For those who want natural lines that look like their own, without any signs of surgery ⚠️ Recently, with the remarkable advancement of medical technology, the retention of the buried suture method has also become much stronger compared to the past. However, please keep in mind that if you have particularly thick skin or a significant amount of fat that protrudes noticeably, there is a relatively higher possibility that the lines may gradually weaken or loosen over time. 💡 3️⃣ Is the incisional method always artificial and very obvious that I've had plastic surgery? How to neatly smooth out thick skin and fat to achieve sharp and defined lines! Many people get scared just by hearing the word "incision method." It is because of the worry, "What if I get an incision and it looks too artificial, like sausage eyes?" 😢 It is true that in the past, there was a strong perception that incisional surgery invariably resulted in thick, prominent lines. but Recently, it is possible to design naturally to suit an individual's overall eye condition and desired needs. 🎨 The incisional method is a technique that creates a double eyelid by making an incision in the skin and neatly trimming any unnecessary fat or sagging tissue inside the eyelid. 📌 The incisional method is much more advantageous for these people! ✅ For those with firm and thick eyelid skin ✅ For those with excess fat on their eyelids ✅ For those who want clearer and more distinct lines without a blurry look 4️⃣ How much difference is there in the realistic recovery period after surgery? The point that those balancing work or studies are most realistically curious about is the 'recovery period'. 🗓️ In terms of general outcomes, the buried suture method certainly results in less swelling and bruising compared to the incisional method, and allows for a faster return to daily life. However, recently, as surgical techniques and equipment for the incision method have advanced delicately, bleeding and damage are less compared to the past, significantly reducing the burden of recovery for patients. ✨ ⚠️ Wait a minute! The most important point: You should not hastily decide on a surgical method based solely on recovery speed, simply saying, "I have to go to work early, so I'll definitely go with the buried suture method." 🙅 This is because choosing the standard method best suited to your eye structure, even if it takes a few extra days for recovery, is the surest way to prevent revision surgery and maximize satisfaction in the long run. ❔ FAQ: Top 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Double Eyelid Surgery Q1. Won't surgery using the incisional method leave unsightly scars on the eyes? 😢 A1. This is the part you fear the most before surgery. In the early stages after surgery, there may be some redness along the incision line or it may look like a scar, but in most cases, it gradually fades and becomes natural as time passes and the skin heals. Best of all, when your eyes are open, the scar tucks right inside the crease of your double eyelid and is hidden, so it isn't as noticeable as you might think; you don't need to worry too much! 🥰 Q2. If I have the first surgery done with an incision, is it impossible to get revision surgery later? 😰 A2. Absolutely not! Just because the first surgery was performed using the incisional method does not mean that future revision surgery is fundamentally impossible. 🙅 However, eye revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery because it requires precise calculation of much more complex and diverse factors, such as the condition of existing tissue and scar tissue. That is why To ensure a good start, it is best to determine the surgical method that is perfect for you through sufficient diagnosis and consultation from the beginning. 📌 Q3. If I am older, is the buried suture method unavailable and only the incisional method is possible? 👵 A3. No, that is also one of the common misconceptions! When deciding on a surgical method, the age figure itself is not an absolute criterion. What matters is not age, but the current degree of skin sagging and the condition of my eyelid muscles. 👁️ Even if you are in your 30s or 40s or older, if the skin around your eyes is not severely sagging and has elasticity, the buried suture method is often sufficient. Conversely, even if you are in your fresh 20s, if your eyelid skin is very thick and there is excessive fat, we may recommend the incisional method. ✨ 💡 Conclusion: Ultimately, the most perfect answer is 'the choice that suits my eyes' It cannot be concluded that either the buried suture method or the incisional method is absolutely superior or better. 🙅 Because the buried suture method has its own light and natural charm, while the incisional method has the distinct advantage of a clear and precise correction effect unique to itself. What is truly important is to avoid blindly chasing trendy eye shapes or hearsay about acquaintances or famous celebrities succeeding using a particular method. 🚫 You must find the perfect answer that fits exactly your unique eye structure, skin thickness, fat volume, and the balance of the image you ultimately desire. 🎯 ✨ Double eyelid surgery is not simply a procedure of drawing a single line on the eyelid; it is a delicate process that balances the entire eye shape to maximize one's impression and charm. . 👁️✨ There is no single correct answer to the dilemma of "Should I use the buried suture method or the incision method?" I hope you find skilled medical professionals who can thoroughly analyze your eye condition, undergo sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis, and choose the most suitable method to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. 💕 View Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kim So-young Master of Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine Doctor of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University College of Medicine Graduate School Completed residency in Plastic Surgery at Samsung Seoul Hospital Lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Anti-aging Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Training in Plastic Surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA
김소영 원장26.06.29Views 33Likes 3 From lifting procedures to incisional surgery, a comprehensive guide to the right lifting type for you and its side effects![3]
hello! Dr. Han Kyu-nam, Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic It is. ✨ Skin sagging naturally comes with aging—it’s upsetting every time you look in the mirror, isn't it, to just brush it off by saying, "Everyone does it"? 🥲 To ensure safe plastic surgery procedures and surgeries, today we have prepared the first session on 'Creating a Proper Plastic Surgery Culture,' which is essential from the perspective of consumers and customers! I am going to explain the lifting procedures that so many of you are curious about in great detail and with honesty. 👇 1️⃣ What is non-surgical lifting (EBD/thread lifting) and what are its characteristics? ✨ Everything about non-surgical lifting that simply tightens sagging tissue without a scalpel! 🔸 Energy-based device (EBD) lifting If facial sagging is not severe, devices such as radio frequency (Thermage) or ultrasound (Ulthera) are primarily used. 🔥 Just like meat shrinks when grilled, this method induces tightening by applying heat around the SMAS layer deep within the skin using different principles! Recently, a wide variety of equipment has been developed, including devices utilizing microwaves similar in principle to microwave ovens; these are collectively referred to as EBDs (Energy Based Devices). Depending on the device, the cost can be as high as surgery, making it less cost-effective, so you should be cautious. However, there is a definite advantage in that the recovery period is short, allowing you to manage the procedure discreetly while going about your daily life. 🔸 Thread Lifting It is a representative procedure with a low barrier to entry, in addition to EBD. It is a method that involves inserting threads of various shapes and materials into the skin and physically pulling them up. They are broadly divided into dissolvable and non-dissolvable threads. • Non-dissolving threads: They last a little longer, but the difference isn't huge. Above all, the psychological burden of knowing they remain in the body for a lifetime is significant. • Dissolvable threads (PDO): Currently the most commonly used material, it takes about 6 to 8 months to break down in the body. 📌 It has excellent biocompatibility, so you can rest assured that it rarely causes problems or inflammation on its own inside the body. "In that case, are there absolutely no side effects with non-surgical lifting?" ⚠️ Just because there is no incision does not mean the risk of side effects is 0%! • Cases of EBD side effects: You may have occasionally seen unfortunate news articles about patients suffering facial burns after undergoing the procedure under general anesthesia. Additionally, cases frequently occur where patients complain that their face looks more saggy because they have lost weight after the procedure, as the fat layer surrounding the targeted SMAS is affected. • Examples of thread lifting side effects: Since sagging tissue is only moved upward without being cut away, the lower skin may accumulate near the cheekbones, temporarily making the face appear wider. If the threads are too close to the skin, they may cause skin indentations (ding-up) or adhesions. 2️⃣ What is the principle behind incisional lifting (facelift/mini-facelift), and what are the precautions? ✨ The truth about incisional lifting and mini-lifting that effectively cut away sagging skin and pull it up! 🔸 Representative surgery, facelift It is literally a surgery where the skin is directly incised, pulled up, the excess flesh is completely cut away, and then sutured. Typically, a long incision is used that starts at the hairline near the temple, wraps around the front and back of the ear, and connects. There are exactly two key keywords for a facelift! ① SMAS layer: A major structure located inside the skin that must be pulled ② Retaining ligament: An obstruction that must be severed because it hinders tissue movement In other words, the principle is to completely loosen the retaining ligaments that hinder facial movement and then strongly pull the SMAS layer to move the sagging skin back to its original youthful position. With the recent advancement of plastic surgery anatomy, various surgical methods have emerged. Currently, the mainstream trend in facelift surgery is the 'Deep Plane Facelift,' which has many advantages as it significantly reduces the scope of subcutaneous dissection. 🔸 The Truth Behind Confusing Mini-Lifts (Mini-Facelifts) It is popular due to the perception that "an incision is made, but simply," but in reality, it is the area that patients find most confusing because there is no precise medical definition or consensus. • General method: A small incision is usually made inside the temple hairline, and the skin beneath is narrowly dissected (subcutaneous dissection). • ⚠️ Honest Comparison of Effects: While the effects may last slightly longer than thread lifting, they fall far short of the results of a traditional facelift. This is because mini-lifts generally cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only partially release the retaining ligaments. • ✔️ Important Checkpoint: Even if different hospitals use the same name, 'Mini Lifting,' the location of the incision and the extent of dissection vary completely. Generally, the longer the incision and the wider the dissection area, the more certain the results can be expected, so you must confirm the dissection area during the consultation. ❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Why do so many people say they lost facial fat after receiving an energy-based device (EBD) lift? A1. A layer of fat is located around the SMAS layer, which is targeted by high-frequency or ultrasound energy. If this fatty area is affected by the energy during the procedure, its volume decreases, which may make it appear visually slimmer or more saggy. Q2. Can my cheekbones look bigger after a thread lift? A2. Yes, this is a phenomenon that can certainly occur. Thread lifting is a procedure that pulls and moves excess skin or soft tissue upward, rather than cutting it away. Therefore, if the volume that was sagging downwards is pushed toward the cheekbones, the face may momentarily appear wider. Q3. Is there a significant difference in effectiveness between a mini-lift and a facelift? A3. Yes, there is a significant difference. Mini-lifting involves a small incision and a narrow dissection range, so it cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only release a portion of the retaining ligaments. On the other hand, a full facelift utilizes extensive dissection to thoroughly release the retaining ligaments and fundamentally tighten the SMAS layer, resulting in a different depth of effect. 🎯 Conclusion Lifting is broadly divided into EBD lifting using equipment, thread lifting using threads, and incision lifting (facelift and mini-facelift) which involves cutting and removing the skin. Even non-incisional procedures can result in side effects such as burns, sunken cheeks, or enlarged cheekbones, and the scope of mini-lifting varies widely from hospital to hospital. Every patient has a different facial structure, and soft tissue conditions, such as the skin and SMAS layer, vary completely. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to blindly insist on a specific surgery simply because you heard, "This surgical method is the trend these days." Please be sure to find the best method for your face through an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience. 🩺 Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Han Gyu-nam Graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine Master's degree from Seoul National University College of Medicine Plastic Surgery Resident at Seoul National University Hospital Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Association of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Anti-aging Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Breast Reconstruction Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Botox, Filler, and Thread Research Group Subcommittee Member of the Future Committee of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons MINT global key doctor Elasticum Advisory Board MENTOR Young Leader 17 years of experience in lifting procedures Possesses numerous cases in the field of incisional lifting Current Chief Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic

Hello! This is Dr. Choi Soon-woo, Representative Director of View Plastic Surgery. 👋 When many people consider breast augmentation surgery, they often focus on concerns such as, "What type of implant should I use?", "How large should I make the size?", and "Where should the incision be made so that it is not noticeable?" 💡 Of course, these factors are very important, but the key to determining the true satisfaction felt long after surgery is actually hidden elsewhere! Then why on earth do some people get extremely satisfied with surgery using the exact same implants, while others are considering revision surgery? The results of breast augmentation surgery are not simply determined in a single moment on the day of the surgery. This is because patient satisfaction is determined by the entire process, from precise pre-operative examinations to regular post-operative care. Today, I will explain in simple terms why a systematic approach is so important! ✨ 1️⃣ The beginning of breast augmentation satisfaction, ' Collaborative system of specialist doctors Why is this necessary? It starts with a perfect fit for your body, safety, and the teamwork of our doctors! Breast augmentation is absolutely not a one-dimensional surgery that simply involves cutting the skin and popping an implant in. Everyone has a different shape of breastbone, and the size of the rib cage, skin thickness, and even the amount of mammary gland tissue is all different! Therefore, the expertise of medical staff capable of analyzing the patient's body from various angles and a collaborative system are essential. 🩺 plastic surgeon We clearly understand the aesthetic needs of the patient! ✨ We design the most harmonious lines and textures for your body shape and perform surgery with precision. 🩺 Radiology & Breast Surgery Specialist We analyze the internal chest structure with great accuracy before and after surgery! 🔍 It establishes an anatomical foundation to enable safe surgery by identifying potential tumors or diseases in advance. 🩺 Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Specialist Since breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, this is really important! ⚠️ You must ensure that a board-certified anesthesiologist is stationed at the hospital to provide dedicated anesthesia care, from pre-operative evaluation to intraoperative monitoring and post-operative recovery. 💡 Wait a minute! As such, you must choose a hospital where specialists in plastic surgery, radiology, breast surgery, and anesthesiology and pain medicine are stationed in one place and collaborate closely to thoroughly prevent variables that may occur during surgery and expect perfect results that achieve both aesthetics and health. 2️⃣ Why before and after surgery ' breast examination Do I absolutely have to receive '? The absolute prerequisite for beautiful breasts is a 'healthy breast condition'! One aspect that many people surprisingly overlook when considering breast augmentation is 'breast examinations'. No matter how satisfactory the surgical results may look on the surface, if the procedure was performed without properly checking the internal condition of the breast, it can never be considered a successful surgery. 🩺 🔸 The Importance of Pre-operative Examinations You must check in advance through breast ultrasound or imaging to ensure there are no abnormalities within the breast, such as benign tumors (lumps) or microcalcifications. If implants are inserted without detecting any underlying conditions, treatment or regular follow-up care can become very difficult later on! ⚠️ 🔸 The Importance of Regular Checkups After Surgery Care does not end just because the surgery is over. It is essential for safety to undergo regular follow-up monitoring to check for any implant rupture, warning signs of capsular contracture (hardening of the breast), or the development of new conditions in the mammary gland tissue surrounding the implant. Therefore, if you are considering breast augmentation, it is advisable to check if the hospital systematically operates a lifetime check-up system, including not only pre-operative examinations but also post-operative check-ups. 3️⃣ Enhancing the perfection of breast surgery ' Premium after-sales service system What is Iran? The texture, shape, and depth of the scar depend on how it is managed after leaving the operating room. Breast augmentation doesn't end the moment you walk out of the operating room! This is because the skin-like texture, natural appearance, and depth of the scar can vary completely depending on how you receive aftercare. To prevent potential side effects during the recovery process and maximize satisfaction, a systematic after-treatment program is essential. ✨ ✔️ Scar Care To prevent keloids or deep scars from forming at the incision site, customized laser treatment and scar ointment care must be meticulously carried out at regular intervals. ✔️ Instructions on wearing shaping bras In the early stages after surgery, the implants must be properly positioned. To prevent the so-called "upper bulge" phenomenon, where the implants are pushed upward, patients must receive thorough instructions on how to wear a compression bra tailored to their individual body shape. ✔️ Utilizing Premium Recovery Equipment Capsulitis management to prevent 'capsular contracture,' known as the greatest enemy of breast augmentation, and promote blood circulation! Check to see if professional recovery systems are equipped, such as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that supplies high-concentration oxygen to the body to promote cell regeneration and rapidly reduce swelling and pain! 💬 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. When can I start exercising after breast augmentation surgery? A1. Daily activities such as light walks can be resumed relatively quickly, but upper body exercises using chest muscles or high-intensity weight training may require restriction for a certain period. Since recovery speeds vary significantly by individual, it is safest to determine the timing of exercise in consultation with medical professionals during regular checkups. Q2. Which method is better, an axillary incision or an inframammary fold incision? A2. Both methods have clear advantages and disadvantages, so I cannot say which one is unconditionally better. The axillary incision has the advantage of not leaving a direct scar on the chest area, while the inframammary fold incision is characterized by easy visibility during surgery, allowing for more precise and delicate surgery. Most importantly, the key is to select the most suitable method by comprehensively considering the patient's original breast shape, skin condition, and other factors. 😊 Q3. Can I receive breast cancer screenings normally after breast augmentation surgery? A3. Yes, of course! You can receive regular checkups, such as breast ultrasounds and mammograms, without any problems even after breast augmentation. However, you must inform the medical staff in advance whether you have had breast implants inserted before the examination, and it can be much more helpful to be examined by medical professionals with extensive experience in breast implant screenings. 🩺 🔸 Conclusion: How to Make the Right Choice for Lifelong Satisfaction Breast augmentation surgery is not merely about increasing visible volume. The truly successful outcome is maintaining a beautiful shape and soft texture healthily for a lifetime, without worrying about side effects. ✨ ✅ A precise collaborative system among Plastic Surgery, Radiology, Breast Surgery, and Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine ✅ Thorough and systematic breast examinations covering before and after surgery ✅ Premium aftercare that prevents side effects (such as capsular contracture) and accelerates recovery Only when all these safety mechanisms and care programs mesh organically like gears can the safe and satisfying results you have dreamed of be realized. 🥰 ⚠️ A One-Line Guide to Careful Selection As this is an important lifelong choice for my precious body, rather than being swayed by simple low costs or temporary trends, ' Is it a systematic hospital that can take responsibility for the health and safety of my chest from start to finish? Please check ' first. Start safely, one step at a time, with a skilled professional for lifelong satisfaction!

Hello! View Plastic Surgery Director Yoon Chang-woon no see. Facial contouring surgery is a representative procedure that smooths out the facial shape and positively changes the overall impression. However, rather than the difficulty of the surgery itself, there is considerable regret and disappointment left when making a hasty decision without sufficient information or understanding. In fact, there are questions and vivid feedback that I frequently hear from patients in the consultation room, and today, based on these... Top 5 Reasons Why People Regret Facial Contouring Surgery the Most I would like to honestly address this. If you understand just this much before surgery, you can significantly reduce the chances of regret, so please pay attention! So, shall we take a look at the inside story, one by one, regarding what patients actually find most confusing and regrettable? 1️⃣ "My face didn't get as small as I thought." 🚨 Just because you go to extreme lengths doesn't mean you will automatically have a dramatically small head like a celebrity. When considering facial contouring surgery, people often have the expectation that "if I just have the surgery, I'll have a super small face like a celebrity, right?" However, our actual face size is not determined solely by the size of the bones. The volume and silhouette of the face Not only the bones, but also the skin thickness, fat layer, and even the amount of muscle This is because it is affected by complex factors. Therefore, rather than obsessing solely over removing a large amount of bone, you should plan the surgery by considering the overall harmony and balance of the face to avoid regrets. 2️⃣ "I didn't know the swelling would last this long" 🚨 Not only the surgical procedure itself, but also the subsequent recovery process is all part of the surgery. Many people are greatly alarmed by the swelling, which is more severe than expected, when they look in the mirror immediately after surgery. Generally, significant swelling subsides considerably and settles within a few weeks after surgery. but Invisible, fine residual swelling gradually subsides over several months. You must keep this in mind. Rather than hastily judging the swollen appearance immediately after surgery as the final result and becoming anxious, it is necessary to maintain a relaxed mindset and patiently observe the recovery process. 3️⃣ "I never even thought about sagging cheeks" 🚨 The critical keyword that must be checked together when considering facial contouring surgery is... sagging cheeks no see. As the volume of the bone decreases, the skin and soft tissues surrounding it shift. In this case, if the original skin lacked elasticity significantly or if there is an excessive amount of soft tissue compared to the amount excised, sagging may occur as the skin adapts to the new facial shape. Having facial contouring surgery does not necessarily mean that sagging cheeks will occur. Individual skin condition, age group, surgical scope There are clear differences in the patterns that appear depending on it. Therefore, before proceeding with surgery, it is necessary to predict your skin elasticity through an accurate preliminary diagnosis and design a surgical plan tailored to it. 4️⃣ "I chose the hospital based only on the price" 🚨 Facial contouring surgery is a very difficult procedure, so always 'safety' This must be the top priority standard. Sometimes, people hastily choose a hospital, attracted solely by cost benefits or low promotional prices. However, facial contouring is a highly complex medical field that requires the delicate handling of numerous facial bones, complex nerve lines, and microvessels. Rather than a simple cost comparison Extensive clinical experience of the attending medical staff, in-hospital safety systems, and emergency response systems You must carefully examine whether it is fully equipped. Since this is a surgery to change a facial shape you will have for a lifetime, the criterion is not cost Safety and professionalism Only by becoming this way will you avoid leaving any regrets. 5️⃣ "I should have been more careful when deciding on my first surgery" 🚨 🚨 The difficulty of facial contouring revision surgery increases incomparably compared to the first surgery. You decide to undergo revision surgery when asymmetry appears after the first surgery, when the expected improvement is not achieved, or conversely, when too much bone has been resected. Since revision surgery requires precisely correcting the bone structure that has already been deformed and the surrounding tissues that are firmly adhered, There are many surgical restrictions, and it is much more difficult. Therefore, to avoid the difficult process of revision surgery, undergo thorough and careful consultation from the beginning Proceed with high quality in a single, precise plan Doing so is more important than anything else. 🔸 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) We have compiled and summarized the top 3 most frequently asked questions about facial contouring surgery! Q1. Is it necessary to remove as much bone as possible for a good surgical outcome? A1. Absolutely not! If you proceed with excessive and unreasonable excision, not only will your appearance look awkward and unnatural, but it can also be a direct cause of skin sagging. The best result is A surgical plan that most ideally matches your original facial proportions It comes from. Q2. When can I return to work or school after facial contouring surgery? A2. Recovery speed varies from person to person, but generally A sufficient period of intensive rest of about 1 to 2 weeks It is a good idea to plan this in advance. However, aside from being able to go to work, please be aware that it will take a little longer for the final lines of your face to settle naturally. Q3. What safety conditions must be checked using a checklist when choosing a hospital? A3. We strongly recommend that you verify the following points comprehensively. ✅ Does the surgeon have extensive experience in facial contouring surgery? ✅ Is it equipped with precision diagnostic equipment systems such as 3D-CT? ✅ Is an anesthesiologist stationed at the hospital? ✅ Is a systematic emergency response system perfectly established? Conclusion 💡 The majority of regrets that follow facial contouring surgery are not due to problems with the surgery itself, but rather, It often stems from incorrect expectations or a lack of prior information. Rather than a one-dimensional approach of 'how much can be shaved off,' What change on my face would be the most natural and harmonious? You need a keen eye to look deeply into it. In addition, being able to undergo surgery with peace of mind Safe medical environment and precise diagnostic system Verifying whether this is a supporting location is an absolute necessity.
