[Health Column] Herniated Discs: Why Do They Occur and Why Do They Recur? From Symptoms to Non-Surgical Management[8]
hello, Director Moon Ji-hwan of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital no see. When your back is stiff and pain persists, you may start to worry, “Could it be a herniated disc?” , you must have tried it at least once. Herniated disc It feels like a sudden illness, but in reality, The result of accumulated long-term postural habits and alignment breakdown. This is often the case. In particular, the feeling of back pain spreading to the buttocks or legs If this is the case, you should pay more attention. today How lumbar disc herniation begins, why it recurs, and why a structure-centered, nonsurgical approach is important. Let's talk. Read on! Why does a herniated disc occur? 👉 Because the burden on the disc is concentrated due to long-term posture and alignment problems. A herniated disc is a disc that absorbs shock between the vertebrae. A condition in which the nerves are stimulated by being pushed to one side due to the inability to withstand continuous pressure Yes. This pressure does not arise suddenly one day, ✔ Habit of sitting for long periods of time ✔ Working pattern with a bent back ✔ A life of leaning on a deep sofa ✔ Disorientation of pelvic and lumbar alignment These small habits in daily life accumulate over a long period of time and are created. Especially the intervertebral disc The structure is relatively weak at the back, so it is easy to be pushed backwards when repeated postural stress accumulates. This will cause problems. Before you suddenly feel a “twitch!” your back may have been sending signals long ago. It is important to consider the alignment surrounding your lower back rather than just the pain. What symptoms will appear if you have a herniated disc? 👉It doesn't just end with the waist, it can extend to the legs. Back pain isn't everything. When a disc irritates a nerve, pain occurs. ✔ Butt ✔ Thighs ✔ Calf ✔ Up to the feet Radiation tube type It can lead to. Additionally, symptoms may worsen when sitting for long periods of time, bending over, or leaning back excessively, and incorrect stretching may actually worsen the condition. In this case, you definitely need to check If back pain + leg numbness/pulling occurs together You need to check for nerve stimulation. Why do herniated discs recur? 👉Because pain reduction does not mean “alignment has been restored” Just because your symptoms have improved doesn't mean your structure has recovered. If the alignment issue is not resolved, pressure will be concentrated in the same area again, ultimately maintaining the 're-pushing environment'. Originally, the lower back should maintain a gentle C-shaped curve (lumbar lordosis) forward to be stable. When this disc collapses, the load is placed on a specific area of the disc, and the intervertebral disc takes over. So this is a pattern that many people experience. ✔ Get better → let your guard down → get worse again… This is not because the disk is weak, This is often because the lumbar-pelvic-hip axis continues to collapse. Non-surgical Approach: Why Is 'Restoring Spinal Alignment' Important? 👉 An approach that addresses "why the disk was pushed" rather than "the disk was pushed." Spinal alignment restoration surgery does not only look at the lower back, ✔ Waist ✔ Pelvis ✔ Hip joint Evaluating this axis together Focus on correcting broken alignments Leave it. As the alignment returns to its proper position, the pressure concentrated on the disc is relieved, Reduced burden on the nerves A more recovery-friendly environment This is created. The key is not simply to “reduce pain,” Addressing the cause to reduce recurrence are you. FAQ Q1. Do I really need surgery for a herniated disc? A1. Most cases can be recovered without surgery. However, if there are functional changes such as nerve paralysis, muscle weakness, or urinary problems, surgery may be necessary. Q2. Is stretching good for you? A2. Not all stretching is good. Excessive bending or bending of the waist can actually increase pressure, so it is important to proceed according to your individual condition. Q3. If the pain goes away, will it be a complete cure? A3. Pain relief is only part of recovery, and if alignment issues and lifestyle habits are not improved, the possibility of relapse remains. conclusion A herniated disc is not a disease that is simply caused by a single impact. The cumulative result of lifestyle and alignment issues This is often the case. So rather than just temporary pain relief, ✔ Restore balance of the lumbar-pelvic-hip joint structure ✔ Check your lifestyle habits ✔ Sorting-centric approach Doing this together is key to reducing relapse. If the pain is recurring or persists for a long time, check your current alignment and determine the cause of the stress on the disc. “It’s not about pain, it’s about correcting the structure.” It is the most important starting point for returning to a comfortable daily life.

hello, Director Kim Hyeong-min of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital (Daegu Branch) no see. When neck or back pain makes daily life difficult, the first word that comes to mind for many people is ' disk 'no see. But the disc is not just a 'sore spot' problem, Changes in posture, habits, and alignment that have accumulated over a long period of time result Did you know that? This time, let's understand the disk from a slightly different perspective, When is surgery necessary? , What to be careful about in life , What management is helpful? I'd like to explain. Rather than being blindly afraid, try to understand it accurately and deal with it wisely! 1. Is a herniated disc really a disease that occurs suddenly? ✅ The disk is not the 'culprit', but rather a structure closer to the 'victim' that is the first to get tired in the collapsed alignment. When a disc bulges, it's easy to think, "The disc caused the problem," but before that, a lot of changes are already happening inside your body. turtle neck with the head tilted forward hunched sitting posture Lifestyle habits that place weight on one side As this situation repeats, pressure is concentrated on a specific area, and eventually the disc that cannot withstand it is pushed out. ✔️ Key points Disc protrusion is a 'result' The cause is a breakdown in the alignment of the entire body. It is important to look at the structure together. 2. What postures and habits can worsen disc problems? ✅ Certain movements can push the disc further toward the nerve, making symptoms worse. If you have a disk Behaviors to be especially careful about There is this. 🔸 Deep bending of the waist 🔸 Maintaining a squat position for a long time 🔸 Lifting heavy objects using only your back strength 🔸 Excessive stretching by folding the waist in half ⚠️ If your arms and legs feel numb or the pain feels like electric shocks, it is not just pain. It may be a sign of neurological symptoms, so more attention is needed. do. In times like these, rather than overdoing exercise, Rest to maintain alignment and reduce pressure This first are you. ✔️ importance point Keep your back straight Remove unnecessary force No excessive exercise 3. Is walking good exercise even if I have a herniated disc? ✅ Depending on the situation, it can be either ‘helpful’ or ‘burdensome.’ Walking is generally a good exercise for your back, but An exception may be made in the acute disc stage. If the nerve is strongly compressed, walking for a long time will actually increase the pressure and make the pain and radiating pain worse. Because you can do it. ✔️ Try this 🔹 Short, frequent walks with your back straight 🔹 If you have trouble standing for a long time, lean against the back of a chair. 🔹 If you have to sit for a long time, use a cushion to keep your back aligned. In the end, what matters is not “how much exercise you do,” “Do it in a way that suits the current situation?” no see. 4. So… do I really need surgery? ✅ Most discs can be improved sufficiently with care and alignment restoration without surgery. When a herniated disc is seen on an MRI, many people worry and ask, “Do I need surgery now…?” But in reality, There are very limited cases where surgery is absolutely necessary. no see. ⚠️ When surgery should be considered If your arm/leg muscles become noticeably thinner or lose strength rapidly A situation where one's ankle is twisted and one is limping Sudden incontinence (emergency) But these cases are only a very small fraction of the total. Most of them Improvement is possible with just spinal alignment restoration and lifestyle modification. As the alignment is restored, the pressure concentrated on the disc is naturally distributed and the pain also begins to stabilize. ✔️ Key Message Understanding “why the disc is herniated” rather than whether or not to have surgery Changing your environment is key to long-term recovery. FAQ Q1. Can the disc heal on its own over time? A1. Some may recover naturally over time, but if the misalignment persists, repeated pressure on the same area may cause it to worsen again. So, along with recovery, Alignment and load flow management are required together. do. Q2. I have a herniated disc. Should I exercise or not? A2. It depends on the situation. During the acute phase, maintaining alignment is more important than excessive exercise. After the recovery period, light muscle strengthening and functional recovery exercises can be helpful in stages. The important thing is: Whether the exercise is suitable for my current condition no see. conclusion The key to disc treatment is ‘alignment’. Discs aren't something that suddenly appears one day. They're the first structures to wear out over time, thanks to accumulated lifestyle habits and alignment issues. Therefore, rather than focusing solely on the area where pain is present, Examining alignment, load, and movement flow together is the most important factor in solving the fundamental problem. ✔️ Key points to remember today Only a very small number of cases require surgery. Most people can improve sufficiently with alignment restoration and lifestyle correction. It's more important to "fix the environment" than to "blame the disk." Rather than being anxious, check your body condition now and manage it safely with expert advice. We support healthy movement and a comfortable daily life!

이현섭 원장26.04.30Views 64Likes 4 [Health Column] Should I endure with lasers? Or end it with a facelift? Checking my skin's 'golden time'[2]
hello. Director Kim Jeong-min of View Plastic Surgery Clinic no see. Every time I look in the mirror Face line that isn't what it used to be So, even though I wondered, "Is it because I haven't had enough sleep?", before I knew it, Deepened nasolabial folds and a sagging jawline You must have been very worried because you could clearly feel this, right? That very time when deciding on surgery right away feels burdensome, yet you worry that doing nothing will cause it to sag even more! My facial condition is simple Procedure possible steps Whether, or not surgery Is this a more effective step? I will give you a guide right now on how to clearly distinguish them. 1. Is my skin still at a stage where treatments are sufficient? ? 🌱 If you feel your skin elasticity has slightly decreased and is sagging lightly, laser or thread lifting is the answer! If you have these symptoms Procedure Consider this first: ✅ Only when smiling When nasolabial folds are slightly prominent ✅ The jawline weakly In the case of the initial stage of collapse ✅ of the entire face Voluminous It is still in a good state. At this stage, applying physical tightening with thread lifting or boosting elasticity with radiofrequency or ultrasound lasers alone is sufficient Natural improvement This is possible. Above all, prepare for surgery The burden of recovery is low. That is a huge advantage! 2. Is it time to consider surgery on my skin? ? 🌱 If the effects of the procedure feel too short-lived or if there is a lot of excess skin when pulled by hand, it falls into the realm of surgery. For people like this Facelift surgery I recommend: ✅ Between the forehead and the space between the eyebrows Severe wrinkles In the case of drooping eyelids ✅ For wrinkles and sagging skin all over the face all at once If you want to improve ✅ For those who want a 확실한 (definite) lifting effect without worrying about scars or nerve damage It’s not just the outer skin that has lost elasticity, Possibility that the deep fascial layer (SMAS) has already started to sag It is high. In this case, rather than a procedure that only tightens the surface Resolves the fundamental sagging The surgery performed is much more effective. 3. How is a facelift different from alternative procedures? 🌱 The key is to directly correct the deep structure (SMAS layer) that causes aging. Let me highlight the key points of a facelift: 📌 SMAS (fascial layer) dissection When the SMAS layer, a thin membrane surrounding muscles, loosens due to aging, the skin sags along with it. Through surgery, this layer is directly separated and tightened, and the excess is removed to produce a definite effect. 📌 No need to worry about scars The incision line is meticulously planned along the area around the ear to ensure that the scar is not noticeable after recovery. The more skilled the medical staff, the more cleverly they hide it along the hairline or behind the ears. Medical staff proficiency That is really important! 4. Essential points to check for a successful facelift ? 🌱Check for anatomical understanding and aftercare systems rather than simply low costs. Make sure to check these 3 things for satisfactory results: skilled medical staff The face is a complex area where numerous nerves and blood vessels pass through. Only medical professionals with extensive clinical experience can perform precise surgery without nerve damage. 1:1 Custom Design Everyone has different skin thickness and bone structure. The extent and angle of the peeling must be finely adjusted to suit the individual's condition to avoid 'pointed ears' or awkward facial expressions. Systematic follow-up care In addition to having an anesthesiologist on staff, having well-equipped scar care and swelling management programs is essential for a faster return to daily life. 💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Will there be significant scarring after a facelift? ? A1. The incision is usually made along the line around the ear, and skilled medical professionals hide the scar along the hairline or behind the ear so that it is not easily visible. It will be relatively inconspicuous once it recovers over time, so you don't need to worry too much. Q2. I am still in my 40s; would it be okay for me to have surgery already? ? A2. The criterion is the 'degree of skin and fascia sagging' rather than age. If the effects of the procedure last only about a month, or if there is a lot of excess skin when you pull it taut, surgery may be a more suitable option at this stage. Please consult with a specialist. 💬Conclusion You cannot turn back time, but you can change the speed of aging. The dilemma between a lifting procedure and a facelift is likely due to the desire to return to "the youngest and most vibrant version of myself." Rather than being swayed by others' reviews or cheap events My current skin condition and the depth of sagging It is wise to find the most suitable method for it. Instead of worrying while looking in the mirror alone, try thoroughly checking the condition of your fascia with a professional. That small step will become the most valuable investment that determines the next 10 years.

In fact, there are many people who visit the clinic heartbroken after losing more than half of their teeth. In the past, many people used dentures, but nowadays, they prefer implants because they provide good chewing power and cause less foreign body sensation. However, proceeding with almost no teeth Full implant Since the physical and financial burden is significant, a more precise plan is required. ✏️ Why is precise diagnosis so important for full body implants? ? As this is a highly complex surgery involving the implantation of 15 to 20 implants in the upper and lower jaws, meticulous planning is essential. Full dental implants are a major surgery that goes beyond simply implanting a few teeth to reconstructing the entire oral cavity. Because the scope of the surgery is wide Implant location perfectly suited to the individual's oral structure and gum condition Deciding on that is the key. Director's Tip! To restore chewing power similar to natural teeth and use them comfortably for a long time, the first step, the 'diagnosis,' must be accurate. ✏️ If you forcefully save a bad tooth, it can actually be harmful. ? 👉🏻Insisting on using teeth that are in poor condition can lead to the need for implant revision surgery, so caution is required. Many people say, "I want to save even one more of my teeth," but if you forcibly leave behind a tooth with severe inflammation... Inflammation can spread to the newly implanted implant. As a result, if you have to undergo revision surgery, it will cost twice as much time and money. • Checkpoint Based on the diagnosis of an expert with over 190,000 implantation data points, there are times when bold decisions are necessary for long-term success. ✏️ What is the 'principled treatment' that Toktok Plant insists on? ? 👉🏻 We ensure long-term stability with customized abutment teeth and high-strength zirconia. The implant procedure proceeds in the order of implanting a fixture into the gum bone, connecting an abutment, and then placing a prosthesis. The most important thing at this time is The fixation of the body firmly into the bone It is. If there is a bone deficiency, a bone graft must be performed to ensure long-term stability. • Materials used We tailored to each patient's gum line Custom abutment Reduced worry about fracture strong Zirconia prostheses We are increasing durability by using 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. How long does the entire implant treatment usually take? A1. There are individual differences, but usually 3 to 6 months It takes about that long. The three months required for the fixture to firmly bond with the gum bone (osseointegration) is a necessary period of patience. You must go through this process properly to use it healthily for a lifetime. Q2. Is it absolutely necessary to have an incision and bone graft? A2. If there is sufficient bone, a non-incisional procedure is possible, but, Most of them are for the lifespan of the implant Sufficient bone graft This is necessary do. To create a sturdy foundation, the necessary areas must be properly incised and the bone meticulously filled in. Q3. How long does an implant last? A3. If you plant it properly according to the principles and the patient manages it meticulously semi-permanent use This is possible. If standard treatment and aftercare based on 190,000 data points are combined, it can easily last for decades. 🔹 Conclusion: A choice that changes your quality of life A choice that changes your quality of life Implants are not simply tools for chewing food, The process of rebuilding your quality of life no see.

This is because the skin around the eyes is particularly thin and moves a lot, causing it to lose elasticity easily.

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. When a tooth is slightly chipped or cracked, there is a question that many people ask first. as soon as Couldn't we just do it simply with resin? This is the part I am doing. Many people prefer resin due to its low cost and the ability to complete treatment on the same day, but in reality, its feasibility clearly depends on the condition of the teeth. Today, I will easily explain the criteria for resin treatment for fractured molars! 🦷 ( Fracture (It refers to a condition where part of the tooth is chipped or cracked!) 1. In what cases is dental resin treatment possible? ? 🦷 It is most effective when the extent of tooth damage is small and in the early stages. . Resin offers excellent aesthetics because it involves directly filling the tooth with a material similar in color. I mainly recommend this for the following situations. 📌 Fine cracks: In the case of a very thin crack on the surface of a tooth 📌 Small fracture: In cases where a small part of the tooth is chipped off 📌 Early tooth decay: When the rotten area is not large and can be filled immediately after removal 📌 Deficit Supplement: When part of the front teeth or molars is lost 💡 A word from the Director! If it is in the early stages, the biggest appeal of resin is that it allows for treatment while preserving natural teeth as much as possible! 2. Why are small cracks, which seem insignificant, dangerous? ? 🦷 Teeth lack the ability to heal themselves, so if left untreated, a small problem will eventually become a major one. . Even tiny cracks that are barely visible should be treated with caution if they send the following signals. ✔️ Instantly when chewing food A tingling sensation ✔️ The sensation when eating cold water or hot food A brief chill ✔️ Especially on specific areas The sensation of food getting stuck ⚠️ Be careful! The cracks in the teeth gradually deepen over time. If you cannot resolve it with resin in time Inlay, Crown, Root Canal Treatment Beyond the worst case implants You might have to do up to that. You should consider resin as a treatment to be done 'in advance when possible'. 3. What causes teeth to break? ? 🦷 Not only accidents but also trivial daily habits can make your teeth diseased. . Molars are where chewing force is concentrated, so even small damage can quickly escalate. Watch out for the following minor habits! ❄️ Bite the ice: The habit of crushing hard ice with teeth 🦀 Hard food: Enjoying tough and hard foods such as marinated crab and nuts 🦷 bad habit: Teeth grinding or unconsciously clenching teeth while sleeping 📉 Other factors: Areas weakened by cavities or natural weakening due to aging 4. How do dentists find invisible gold? ? 🦷 Even cracks that are difficult to identify with the naked eye can be detected through precise inspection. all. 🔹 Coloration Test: Confirm the location by letting the pigment seep into the crack. 🔹 Optical Inspection: It uses a special light reaction to locate areas where bacteria have proliferated or cracks have formed. 🔹 CT Scan: We provide the most accurate diagnosis by assessing the depth and extent of the gold in three dimensions. 5. Resin vs. Inlay/Crown, How to Choose ? 🦷 Resin is not necessarily the best option; you must choose the 'appropriate' treatment for your tooth condition. . division Resin treatment Inlay / Crown Applicable to small crack, minor fracture When the extent of damage is large or root canal treatment is required Key Features Fast treatment, low cost High durability and withstands strong chewing forces FAQ Q1. I've heard that resin fillings on molars fall off easily. Is that true? ? A1. Durability has improved compared to the past due to advancements in materials and adhesive technology. However, since molars are subjected to strong chewing forces, if the fracture is too extensive, inlays or crowns may last longer and remain strong than resin. Q2. I have a cracked tooth, but if it doesn't hurt, is it okay to just leave it alone? ? A2. Even if there is no pain, the crack continues to progress. By the time you feel pain, there is a high probability that the nerve has already been fractured, so getting a checkup and reinforcing it with resin when there are no symptoms is the most economical and safest method. conclusion Timing is key to dental health! Once damaged, teeth do not heal on their own. If you keep putting it off thinking, "This much should be fine," you might miss the opportunity to finish it with a simple resin treatment. ✨ Just remember this! Reduce the habit of eating hard foods and crunching on ice If You Grind Your Teeth, Use a Mouthguard Detecting abnormalities early through regular checkups If you experience even the slightest tooth sensitivity or tingling, we recommend that you get it checked at a nearby dental clinic before it is too late.

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

정재욱 원장26.03.09Views 403Likes 4 [Health Column] Is Double Jaw Surgery Really Necessary for Long Faces and Chin Reshaping? Solutions Based on Cause[4]
hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Because it makes your face look long Have you ever considered double jaw surgery? In fact, when I consult with people, many of them ask, “Is double jaw surgery the answer for a long face?” but When it comes to long face plastic surgery, it is most important to first determine the cause of the long face. Because the surgical method needed can be completely different depending on which part of the face appears longer. today In what cases is long face/long chin surgery necessary, and when is bimaxillary surgery necessary? Let me explain with a real-life example. ✨ How do you judge a long face? ? 📌 Face length is determined by the 'ratio of thirds' . The human face can be broadly divided into three parts. ✔️ Upper face: Forehead ~ eyebrows ✔️ Midface: Eyebrows ~ tip of nose ✔️ Lower face: Tip of nose ~ tip of chin Usually these three sections A natural and harmonious face with balanced proportions It appears to be. But if one part of this gets too long, An impression that makes the entire face look longer This can happen. for example If the distance from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose is long → A face with a long midface If the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin is long → A face with a long lower face like Depending on where you are looking, the solution will vary. 📌 So, in long face plastic surgery, An accurate diagnosis of where the length appears to be long is most important. If I have a long face, do I absolutely need double jaw surgery? ? 📌 If the midface is long, double jaw surgery may be necessary. . From eyebrow to tip of nose If the midface is long In the figure below, marked in red maxilla Reduce the length of Double jaw surgery There are times when this is necessary. Especially when you laugh If you see a lot of teeth When the gums are excessively exposed The position and length of the upper jaw can have an effect. But there is an important point. Through double jaw surgery Bone length can be reduced, but There are limits to changing the position of the nose or the soft tissue itself. in other words ✔ Bone length may decrease ✔ The apparent mid-face length may not change significantly. so Not all long faces are candidates for bimaxillary surgery. ⚠️ Accurate judgment requires professional diagnosis. What kind of surgery is done to make the chin look longer? ? 📌 If the lower face is long, it can be improved with contouring surgery. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin A face with a long lower face If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. A typical method is Long curve resection, chin surgery no see. If the jawbone is greatly developed Reduce chin length Balance the lower jaw It can help alleviate the feeling of your face looking longer. As needed Perform square jaw surgery together underneath It can help create more natural facial proportions. How would actual long chin patient cases differ? ? 📌 This is a case where the facial proportions were improved by adjusting the balance between the chin length and the lower jaw. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin Haan-myeon Long face with a long beak If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. One patient was admitted to the hospital Considering double jaw surgery You were doing it. But the CT scan results The front chin is long The lower jaw was widely developed. In this case ✔ Long curve resection ✔ Lower jaw bone reduction (LBO) Through Direction to reduce the overall length of the lower jaw The surgery was performed. If you check the CT after surgery, The length of the front chin is reduced As the lower jaw becomes more balanced, I could see that the impression that the face was long had been greatly alleviated. 📌 It's not just about reducing the length It is important to consider both facial proportions and balance. What is the most important thing in long face surgery? ? 📌 What's more important than face length is 'proportion' . Many people Make your chin shorter, smaller I think it will be pretty if you make it. But the face eye, nose, chin, Each element It's important to strike a balance. for example Make the chin shorter unconditionally If you cut the bone like in a typical square jaw surgery, Rather, it may break the facial proportions. In this case ⚠️ If your face looks awkward ⚠️ In some cases, it may appear longer than before surgery. so In long face surgery, design that takes proportions into account is key. When we look at patients who come to check their progress after surgery, Than the face changed I feel like my expression has brightened There are many times when I receive it. Changes in appearance are important, but ✔ Confidence ✔ Change in facial expression There are also cases where you feel positive changes in the same area. Seeing this kind of sight makes me feel rewarded as a medical professional. 😊 FAQ ❓ Q1. Can a secondary angle develop after square jaw surgery? ? A1. If you perform square jaw surgery without chin surgery, an angle may develop at the starting point of the resection. If the secondary angle is not severe, it can be corrected with simple shaving. In severe cases, additional surgery may be required along with chin surgery. Q2. Can a long mid-face be corrected with contouring surgery? ? A2. In cases where the midface is long, bimaxillary surgery is often more effective. However, if there is no dental malocclusion and bimaxillary surgery is too risky, procedures such as philtrum reduction surgery may be considered. A more accurate assessment is best made through consultation following a CT scan. Q3. Can contouring surgery shave as much bone as desired? ? A3. Contouring surgery is not a procedure that allows you to freely shape the area as desired. The extent of resection is limited by the thickness of the cheekbones and the location of the mandibular nerve. Conclusion 🧾 In long face and long chin plastic surgery The most important thing is an accurate diagnosis. Because my face looks long ✔ It is not always necessary to have double jaw surgery ✔ It is not necessary to necessarily reduce the chin. 📌 Which part of the face makes it look longer? 📌 How to balance the overall proportions of the face These two things must be considered together. So if you are considering surgery ✨ First, you need to find the method that is right for you through a CT scan and accurate consultation. Also, rather than just listening to one opinion, It is recommended that you seek consultation from several hospitals and make a careful decision. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Severance Hospital Plastic Surgery Visiting Professor Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery regular member Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons regular member International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS) member Regular member of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons regular member Executive Director of the Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery Research Association Director of Hyun 3D Plastic Surgery Clinic Experience in facial contouring treatment 21 year

hello, 3D plastic surgery Researching surgery to make you look younger and younger Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. When consulting on facial contouring, "Doctor, do I really need to get a blood transfusion?" or "I heard other hospitals don't do it..." saying I often get asked questions mixed with concern. Today is this Why the drainage tube is a powerful support system that helps our bodies recover. Okay, let me explain it a little more clearly and step by step! ✨ 1. Is the saying, "I don't have to worry about bloodshed" really a good thing? ? 🎯 It may sound like a symbol of cleanliness after surgery, but the actual recovery process may be a little different. . It's really positive to hear that you don't have to worry about getting hurt. It feels as if the surgery was so perfect that there was no bleeding at all. However, from a medical perspective, this is an expression that can easily lead to misunderstanding. Can you give me an example? 🏃♂️ Think about when you were walking down the street and fell and slightly scraped your knee. The bleeding stops quickly, but clear pus (exudate) continues to flow for several days, soaking the gauze, right? Even after facial contouring, this natural reaction occurs in our body. 2. Why does pus appear after facial contouring surgery? ?🧐 🎯Because it is a major surgery that covers a wide area of skin and fascia, exudate occurs as a normal reaction of the body. . Facial contouring is not simply a surgery that tightens the outer skin. Exfoliates a wide area of skin and treats deep tissues (fascia) large-scale surgery no see. ⚠️ What happens when the water pools? Even if the bleeding is completely controlled, pus is bound to come out of the tissues for 2-3 days after the surgery. If this does not come out, it will accumulate between the tissues. severe swelling It becomes. When the amount increases, it accumulates like a water bag seroma It may lead to this. 3. What role does the blood clot play during the "golden three days" after surgery? 🛡️ 🎯It accelerates recovery by removing unnecessary fluids during a time when the tissues need to be tightly adhered. After facial lifting First 3 days It is a very important period that determines the success or failure of the result. 📌 Key Points During this period, the fascia and skin must adhere tightly to each other for quick recovery and good results. But if there is mud in between, the tissue won't be able to stick properly, right? ✔️ Effect of blood pressure Although there is some discomfort, using a drainage tube for 1-2 days effectively drains the pus. Swelling is reduced and recovery is much faster. FAQ ❓ Q1. How long does it take for a facial contouring surgery and what is the anesthesia? ? A1. Normal 3~5 hours It takes about 10 minutes and is comfortable. general anesthesia It will proceed as follows. The time may vary slightly depending on the individual's condition and the scope of the surgery. Q2. How long should I expect to recover after surgery? A2. Large swelling and bruising 1~2 weeks The condition will improve a lot, and you will be able to return to your daily life in about two weeks! ✨ Natural look is completed over 3 to 6 months. Q3. Are there any side effects or risks? ? A3. There is a possibility of temporary sensory loss or nerve damage, but most recover over time. Above all, it is important to design the product to minimize risk through sufficient consultation with experienced medical staff. conclusion The correct answer is "How do I recover?" rather than "I'm not bleeding"! What's really important about facial contouring isn't just the marketing slogan that it doesn't cause bleeding. How meticulously the post-surgical recovery process is designed and managed determines satisfaction. Even if it's the same surgery Recovery Design Please keep in mind that the process you experience can vary greatly depending on your circumstances! 💡 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting
허재원 원장26.02.26Views 266Likes 4 [Health Column] Why Upper Eyelid Surgery Isn't Alone for Middle-Aged Eyelid Surgery? Criteria for Combining Forehead Lift Surgery[8]
hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. Many people tend to think that the eye changes in middle age, such as drooping eyelids, making the eyelids look heavy and blurry, are just a problem with the eyelids. 👀 But in reality, it is often a complex change that extends to the eyebrows and forehead. For this reason, if upper eyelid surgery is performed alone, there may be situations where the results are different from what was expected. Today, I'll explain, from a structural perspective, why forehead augmentation is often considered in middle-aged eye surgery.✨ Isn't middle-aged eye aging just a problem with the 'eyelids'? 🟢Sagging eyelids are often accompanied by drooping eyebrows and forehead. Sagging upper eyelids after the age of 40 or 50 is not simply a problem of excess skin. It is accompanied by complex changes including loss of eyelid skin elasticity, relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle, drooping of the eyebrows, and relaxation of the forehead soft tissue. That is, it is not just the eyelids that are drooping. A condition where the eyebrows and forehead are lowered together This is often the case. 💡Example: The habit of opening your eyes with your forehead tense, with your eyelids looking heavy. 🎯 It is important to evaluate not only the eyelids but also the eyebrow position and forehead sagging. Why can removing a lot of skin during upper eyelid surgery be problematic? 🟢Excessive restraint can cause changes in impression and tense eyes. The purpose of upper eyelid surgery is to improve vision and correct facial expressions. Skin in middle-aged patients Excessive removal underneath This may result in a decrease in the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, as well as a change in the appearance of the face. Also, as the eyelids become hypertonic, Opening your eyes may further increase forehead compensation. 💡Example situation When only a large amount of skin is removed while the eyebrows have already fallen down → The eyebrow position appears relatively lower, creating an unnatural impression. ⚠️ Caution! Simply “removing a lot” does not always lead to good results. Why is forehead augmentation surgery often considered together? 🟢This is an approach to reposition structural causes (eyebrow and forehead drooping). Forehead augmentation is not simply a surgery to smooth out wrinkles. Surgery to reposition the lowered eyebrows and forehead soft tissues to their anatomical positions no see. Through this ✔️ Natural eyebrow lift ✔️ Normalize the distance between the eyebrows and eyes ✔️ Prevent excessive skin excision You can expect the same effect. In other words, a “cut less and make it more natural” approach becomes possible. Do all middle-aged patients need forehead lift surgery? 🟢The parallel operation will vary depending on whether the eyebrows are lowered or not. Not all middle-aged patients need forehead lift surgery. However, in the following cases, parallelism is actively considered: 🔸 If eyebrow sagging is evident 🔸 If you have a lot of forehead compensation wrinkles 🔸 If you feel a lot of tension in your forehead when opening your eyes 🔸 If the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is already narrow In these situations, upper eyelid surgery alone may actually worsen the outcome. 💡Simple self-check example If your eyes feel more comfortable when you slightly lift your eyebrows with your hand → It is likely that the cause is sagging eyebrows. What is the most important principle in middle-aged eye surgery? 🟢The key is to ‘reposition the sagging structure’ rather than the amount of excision. The key to middle-aged eye surgery is It's not about how much you remove, It's all about how you rearrange the sagging structure. Because the eyelids are part of the upper part of the face It should be judged in the balance of the entire upper face, including the forehead and eyebrows. You can expect natural and stable results. 👉 It is important to evaluate the entire upper face, not just the eyelids. FAQ Q1. Will my appearance look unnatural after surgery? A1. Excessive excision may cause the eyes to appear sunken or asymmetry, and excessive pulling may give a surprised impression. Q2. How long is the recovery period and return to normal daily life? A2. Bruising and swelling will subside in about 1 to 2 weeks, and it will take about 7 to 10 days to return to normal daily life. It may take 1 to 3 months for the condition to return to normal. Q3. Which surgery is right for me, upper eyelid surgery or forehead lift? A3. In cases where the eyelid skin is sagging, upper eyelid surgery is considered, and in cases where the eyebrows have fallen and are covering the eyes, forehead lifting surgery is considered. Conclusion ✨ The success of middle-aged eye surgery Rather than “how much restraint did you have” It depends on how accurately the cause of the sagging was corrected. ✨ ✔️ We evaluate not only the eyelids but also the eyebrow position and forehead sagging. ✔️ A structurally balanced approach is more important than excessive moderation. ✔️ Customized consultation is required based on individual anatomical condition. If your eyes feel heavy and you have to open them with your forehead Not just a simple upper eyelid surgery It's a good idea to consult with a specialist for a comprehensive upper facial evaluation. 👀 Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su Graduated from Korea University College of Medicine Graduated from Korea University Graduate School (Plastic Surgery major) Korea University Medical Center Resident Plastic Surgery Specialist at National Medical Center Former Director of Jewelry Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Craniofacial Society Regular member of the Facial Contour Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group See more expert columns from Dr. Baek In-su of Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic.

It's easy to think, "Why don't I just get my double eyelids done again?" In reality, more complex changes may occur together. middle-aged eye surgery It is not simply a surgery to clean the skin, A process that must consider both the function of opening the eyes and structural changes. no see. So, what should we watch together? Let's take a closer look from now on. What is middle-aged eye surgery? 🟢This is a surgery that looks at not only sagging skin but also its function. Middle-aged eye surgery is a surgery that improves the appearance of the eyes by correcting sagging skin and soft tissue of the upper eyelids due to aging. But it doesn't end with simply removing sagging skin. 🔸 Functional changes in the muscles and tissues that open the eyes 🔸 Aging of the eyelid structure 🔸 Individual differences in eye condition The key is to consider all of these factors together. for example, Even if you feel that “my double eyelids are covered and I look stuffy” In reality Changes in eye opening power It is not uncommon for it to be accompanied by . 👉 Therefore, during consultation, functional evaluation is more important than simple design. What is the principle of middle-aged upper eyelid surgery? 🟢The goal is to balance the structure of the eyelids while removing excess skin. While removing unnecessary skin and tissue from the eyelids, Balances the structures involved in opening the eyes to function naturally. These changes are common after middle age. 🔹 Sagging skin obscures vision 🔹 The habit of applying force to the forehead or eyebrows to open the eyes 🔹 Persistent tension around the eyes Upper eyelid surgery reduces this burden, The purpose is to create a more comfortable state of waking up. There is this. ⚠️ Excessive excision for the sole purpose of cosmetic change is not advisable. Functionality and balance must be considered together. What changes and effects can we expect? 🟢We aim for ‘less stuffy eyes’, not ‘bigger and more colorful eyes’. The first change you feel after upper eyelid surgery in middle age is Relieves stuffiness around the eyes no see. 🔸 Organizing the covered eyes 🔸 A clearer and more comfortable impression 🔸 Improved visibility in some cases 🔸 Reduced forehead tension when opening eyes But the important thing is, It is not a surgery that drastically changes one's appearance. no see. Within the range that does not damage the balance of the face The goal is to improve naturally. What should I know before surgery and what is the recovery process like? 🟢The recovery process varies from person to person, and excessive restraint requires caution. Upper eyelid surgery is performed relatively safely, but 🔹 Initial swelling and bruising 🔹 Pain varies from person to person 🔹 Recovery time over a certain period of time This may be accompanied by: In most cases, daily life is possible within 1 to 2 weeks. The final naturalness will depend on the individual's recovery rate. ⚠️ Be careful of the misconception that “the more skin you cut off, the clearer it will be.” Excessive restraint may result in poor eye closure or an unnatural appearance. 👉 It is important to plan with both function and structure in mind. In which cases is it helpful, and in which cases should I be cautious? 🟢The first thing to do is to determine whether the cause is skin or functional impairment. ✔️ If it can help When your eyes feel heavy due to sagging upper eyelid skin When your double eyelids are covered and you feel stuffy 🔎 When to be cautious When the main cause is a decline in the ability to open the eyes itself If you have a systemic disease or eye-related disease In this case, other methods such as eye correction can be considered. When consulting, please check the following: 🔸 Extent of skin excision 🔸 The degree of change that can be expected 🔸 Recovery period 🔸 Whether the function is evaluated FAQ Q1. Can my eyes become clearer with just upper eyelid surgery? A1. If sagging upper eyelid skin is the primary cause, it's possible. However, if the eyelid opening ability is weakened, eyelid correction surgery may also be considered. A precise diagnosis is made through a consultation. Q2. Doesn't your impression look very different after the surgery? A2. The goal isn't to dramatically change the impression, but to improve the feeling of tightness. By tailoring the procedure to each individual's eye structure, you can expect a natural transformation. Q3. Is it possible to have surgery even at an older age? A3. Eye condition and overall health are more important than age. Depending on the condition, treatment is possible, and preliminary diagnosis is crucial. Conclusion ✨ Middle-aged upper eyelid surgery is simply It is not a cosmetic surgery to remove sagging skin. ✔️ Consider changes in eyelid structure and function ✔️ Goal of using your eyes comfortably ✔️ Understand the scope of change rather than expecting excessive improvement ✨ The goal of middle-aged eye surgery is Not 'clearer' It's 'more comfortable'. If you are considering surgery, First, check whether the current inconvenience is due to appearance or function. A choice based on sufficient consultation and understanding This can lead to the most natural and long-lasting results.

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

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. When I consult about square jaw surgery, I often get asked, “If I have the surgery, will I definitely get a V-line?” but Reducing a square jaw does not automatically make the frontal view slimmer. The side view may look small, but the front view is often the same. today Why does this difference occur? , and What role does ‘cortical osteotomy’ play in determining the frontal effect? I will explain it step by step. Why is the frontal effect different when undergoing square jaw surgery? 📌Not all square jaw reductions result in the same facial changes. . Square jaw surgery Cut in a long curve from the square jaw below the ear to just before the chin bone This is a surgery that makes the jawline smoother. When viewed from the side, the angle below the ear is reduced, making the face appear smaller. The frontal effect depends on the 'shape' of the jawbone. ✔️ If you look at the CT scan, the square appears to be less noticeable from the front. ✔️ In some cases, the angle below the ear is almost 90 degrees when viewed from the side. 👉 In this case, If you only cut the angle, you may not feel a big change from the front. 🔸 Example This is why people ask, “I’m satisfied with the side view, but why is the front view the same?” The frontal effect is It's not about how much you cut, but what structure you reduce. is more important 🔸 Advice 👉 Before surgery A process of receiving explanations based on both frontal and lateral CT scans This is absolutely necessary. Pre-simulation CT (dried jawbone) Why is it less effective when the square jawbone is ‘sunk in’? 📌If the bone is rolled inward, the width may not be reduced even if cut. . Square jawbone Inwardly rolled shape and Outwardly spreading form It is divided into . If it gets stuck Even if you cut a lot of square jawbone, the frontal width may appear to have little change. That's why people say, "I had square jaw surgery, but my frontal appearance is the same." CT after simulation (dried jawbone) 🔸 Key Points ✔️ The frontal effect is not about the ‘amount of reduction’ Bone orientation and structure It depends 🔸 Advice 👉 I Is it a dried bone structure or a spread structure? It is important to check first. Why does a square jaw that flares outward look so good from the front? 📌Because the front width itself is reduced . If the square jawbone spreads outward, Just with square jaw surgery Changes in width from the front It looks relatively good. Extended jawbone before simulation Stretched jawbone after simulation 🔸 Example In the frontal photo, the jawline appears to have moved inward one step. In cases where the feeling that “the frontal view has become slimmer” is relatively quick 🔸 Advice 👉 Even if it's the same surgery Depending on your bone type, the results you experience may vary greatly. So what role does ‘cortical osteotomy’ play? 📌This is a method that is considered together to increase the frontal effect. Cortical osteotomy involves reducing the outer surface (lateral cortex) of the square jaw. Not only the sides How to reduce the volume from the front as well no see. The square jawbone has a multi-layered structure. Among these Removing only the outer layer is called lateral cortical osteotomy. no see. A method of smoothing the surface instead of cutting it in the same location is called 'cortex shaving'. It is called. ✔️ Even if the angle under the ear is not large ✔️ Even if the bone is dried out 👉 It is used to complement the frontal effect cortical CT ⚠️ Caution Because the cortex thickness varies from person to person The extent of abstinence is determined differently for each individual. It's possible Excessive osteotomy Risk of side effects Skill is important because it can increase your Why is cortical osteotomy important in square jaw surgery? 📌This is the element that creates the ‘reason for it to look like a V-line’ from the front. Looking at actual contouring surgery cases, Even if the angle of the ear does not change much When the volume of the outer cortex decreases, it appears like a V-line. There are many. ✔️ Square jaw angle resection ✔️ Bone Spreading ✔️Muscle condition Consider these three together The frontal effect may be improved. CT before and after cortical osteotomy 🔸 Advice 👉 If you want a frontal effect The key is not 'how much angle to cut' but 'where to reduce' no see. FAQ ❓ Q1. Are there any criteria for when square jaw surgery is necessary and when it can be done with Botox? A1. If the frontal squint appears severe but the angle is not significant on CT, the muscle influence is greater than the bone, and Botox may be able to improve the situation. If bone development is also present, surgical options may be considered. Q2. What is the difference between masseter reduction and cortical osteotomy? A2. Muscle reduction reduces muscle volume, while cortical osteotomy reduces the outer volume of the bone. For a frontal effect, both bone structure and muscle condition are assessed. Q3. How long is the recovery period after square jaw surgery? A3. Major swelling is usually explained as a standard of about two weeks, and minor swelling gradually resolves over several months. Conclusion 🧾 ✔️ Not all square jaw surgery results in the same frontal effect. ✔️ Depending on the shape of the bone If cortical osteotomy or shaving alone is sufficient There is. ✔️ What's important is Customized judgment based on your CT structure It is. ✨ Rather than surgery that just cuts off a lot, A method that suits your current situation Decision made after sufficient consultation with a specialist I recommend you do it. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Master of Medicine, Yonsei University Graduate School Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Severance Hospital Plastic Surgery Visiting Professor Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery regular member Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons regular member International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS) member Regular member of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons regular member Executive Director of the Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery Research Association Director of Hyun 3D Plastic Surgery Clinic Experience in facial contouring treatment 21 year

hello, 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.

What is the standard side profile line for chinless correction? ? 📌 Whether or not there is a blunt is determined based on the 'Ricketts Line'. . A commonly used standard for assessing the balance of a profile is the Ricketts line. When connected from the tip of the nose to the chin, The upper lip is about 4mm The lower lip is the line located about 2 mm behind. However, this standard It is somewhat different from the ideal side view currently preferred in Korea. There is In actual treatment, we consider the individual's facial shape and harmony. “What’s more important than numbers is Balance of the entire face no see." What are my options for chin-free correction? 📌 There are three main methods for mandibular advancement: . There are three ways to approach orthodontics: 🔸 Bone-assisted advancement 🔸 Advancement using prosthetics 🔸 Advancement using fat grafting and fillers Because each method has clearly different advantages and limitations. Choosing the right one for your jaw condition This is important. In what cases is bone-based chin advancement surgery suitable? 📌 This method uses your own bone to reduce foreign body sensation. . Chin advancement surgery using bone commonly known A different method from T-osteotomy can be accessed by T-osteotomy can further reduce the volume of the chin. The impression of a small chin may not be significantly improved. Because of this, A method of advancing the anterior jaw without removing the bone You can also choose . ✨ Advantages Use of own bone → Less foreign body sensation Relatively few side effects ⚠️ Limits The maximum range that can be advanced is About 5~6mm There are limits to how far you can go. Before and after CT images of genioplasty Why is advancement surgery with prosthetics chosen? ? 📌 If the advance amount is large, you can expect good results. Advancement using prosthetics If an advance of about 1 cm is required This makes it a particularly useful option. About prosthetics There is a perception that it “erodes bones”, This is It depends on the location. ✔️ Location where the bone is thick → Less likely to erode ⚠️ If positioned upwards → Erosion may occur Bone erosion due to the implant being positioned slightly above CT Entering the thick part of the bone prosthesis CT ( No erosion occurs ) Is it possible to correct a chin without using fat grafting or fillers? ? 📌 This is a method you can consider if surgery is burdensome. If the burden of surgery is too great, the volume of the front chin can be supplemented with fat grafting or filler. ✨ Advantages A relatively simple procedure Less psychological burden from surgery ⚠️ Limits Not a solid structure Limited in maintaining shape There are limits to expressing naturalness and a clear jawline. “A pointed chin is possible, but it may not always look natural.” FAQ ❓ Q1. Can severe wrinkles and walnut wrinkles also be improved? A1. For severe prognathism, chin surgery alone may not be effective, and implants or stepped osteotomy may be considered. Walnut wrinkles can be improved with Botox. Q2. Is there a risk of damage to the dental nerve after chin surgery? A2. There may be a risk if the osteotomy is excessively upward or the fixation pin is close to the tooth root, so the location of the nerve must be carefully considered during surgery. Q3. Can I change from chin filler to fat grafting? A3. Fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronic acid, and the residual material can be absorbed. Remove 3 to 7 days before surgery It is recommended to do so. Conclusion 🧾 ✔️ There is not just one right answer when it comes to braces. Depending on the amount of advancement, jawbone thickness, and overall facial balance The best method for you may vary. What's important is Not “fashionable” The right choice for you no see.

hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. I'm only in my twenties and I'm getting implants... 😥 In the examination room The question most often asked by patients in their 20s This is it. I don't have any friends around me who have had implants yet, and when I search, most of the stories I find are about people in their 50s or 60s. But more than I thought Situations in which implants should be considered even in one's early or late 20s exists steadily. today Why do we find ourselves at this crossroads? , and Cost, lifespan, and reviews I'll explain it to you calmly. Why do people get implants in their 20s? 🦷It often starts with an 'unavoidable situation' rather than a management failure. So why does this happen? Implants in your 20s are more a matter of lifestyle than anything else. The inevitable reason It often leads to . 🔸 Three representative cases ✔️ Failure of deep cavity/root canal treatment If a tooth that was treated in childhood repeatedly causes problems and eventually leads to tooth extraction ✔️ Accident/trauma Damage to front teeth or molars due to impact while riding a bicycle, kickboard, or exercising ✔️ congenital missing teeth If you were born with a missing tooth, you are faced with the choice between orthodontics and implants. A question that comes up a lot is, “Can’t we just leave it blank?” ⚠️ But teeth don't leave empty spaces. When the adjacent teeth are tilted and the bite is misaligned, Rather, it is in the direction of damaging even healthy teeth. It often progresses like this. Why do implant costs feel more burdensome in your 20s? 🦷Because this is the first time I've experienced a 'big medical bill' The reason why implant costs seem so high in your 20s is simple. mostly My first expensive dental treatment Because it's a win. 🔸 Factors that make up the cost of implants ✔️ Goes into the gum bone Implant body ✔️ Connecting the body and teeth abutment ✔️ Visible on the outside prosthesis (crown) ✔️Additional if needed Bone grafting and maxillary sinus augmentation Fortunately, those in their early and late 20s In many cases, the bone condition is good There are many cases where the procedure ends with only basic implants without bone grafting. On average Price range: mid to late 800,000 won to early 1 million won per unit It is often formed in, There are significant differences depending on the brand, prosthetic material, and aftercare system. ✨ Important points For people in their 20s, 'long-term cost' is more important than 'one-time price'. How long will implants last if I get them in my 20s? 🦷It is not ‘age’ but ‘management habits’ that determine lifespan. This is the most frequently asked question. “You’re so young… You have to use it for the rest of your life, right?” To conclude, Being young doesn't automatically mean you'll live longer. In general, the average lifespan of implant prosthetics is About 10 years ago is described as: But this is If the management status is average This is a story based on . 🔹 Benefits of Implants in Your 20s ✔️ Fast gum recovery ✔️ Fewer systemic diseases ✔️ High success rate of early osseointegration 🔸 Drawbacks to watch out for ⚠️ Teeth grinding and clenching habits ⚠️ Late-night snacking, smoking, and irregular lifestyle ⚠️ If you neglect regular checkups Ultimately, what determines the lifespan of the implant is It's not about age, it's about management habits no see. What are some common stories that come up in reviews of implants in people in their 20s? 🦷'The time I neglected it was more regrettable than the implant itself.' If you look at actual implant reviews in people in their 20s, you'll see similar things repeated. 🔸 Frequently asked questions “It wasn’t as painful as I thought.” “I don’t know why I kept putting it off.” “Early management is really important.” A particularly striking statement is this: “It’s not the implant that’s the problem, but the time I neglected it before that that I regret more.” Your 20s are a time when you feel like you have a lot of time, As for dental problems, Time spent procrastinating is time lost. may lead to.

If I do it in my 20s, do I have to do it again later? A3. It depends on the maintenance condition, and regular maintenance has a great impact on the lifespan. conclusion ✔️ Implants in your 20s may not be an 'early choice' but a 'necessary choice'. ✔️ Rather than making a decision based solely on price, Long-term maintenance perspective You must check it out. ✔️ Carefully review the implant experience, prosthetic design management, and aftercare standards. Implants are not a short-term treatment. Structures that will be used together for decades to come no see. Especially if you are in your 20s, you need to be even more careful.

hello, 3D plastic surgery at Plastic surgery during doing Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. contouring surgery I refined my jawline and facial contours through When I actually look at myself in the mirror “My jawline isn’t as defined as I thought.” Or “I still have a double chin.” There are times when I feel that way. You may be more confused when the bone lines look neat on the CT scan, but the actual appearance is different from what you expected. This is Because simply making the 'bones' pretty does not complete the entire facial contour. no see. today Why a double chin remains after contouring surgery , and we will tell you how the correction is done. 1. Why can a double chin remain even after contouring surgery? yo. this? 🎯 Just because the bones are reduced doesn't mean the tissues above them are also reduced. . contouring surgery Covered in Chin and square jaw is the deepest layer of the face, the 'bone structure'. But above that, there are many layers of soft tissue, including skin, fat, muscles, connective tissue, and even salivary glands. So even if the bone is reduced, if the above tissue does not reduce at the same rate, the expected change may not be seen, and instead, a double chin may become more prominent. especially, Square jaw reduction Masseter resection Cortical bone resection Chin T-osteotomy / S-osteotomy / Rotational cutting, etc. As most of it is progressing in the 'reducing direction', Those with thick soft tissue may have more prominent relative volume. There is.🔹 In other words, contouring surgery is a 'bone-refining surgery', and a double chin is completed by considering 'soft tissue issues' as well. 2. What are the main causes of a double chin occurring or worsening after contouring surgery? 🎯There are three main structural factors at work. all. 1. Deletion of the digastric muscle Chin reduction process In some procedures, the biceps femoris muscle may be separated from the bone. In this case, the muscles may sag and bunch up, giving the appearance of a double chin. So, when doing a second surgery The process of re-anchoring the abdominal muscles + fat adjustment These are considered together. 2. Submandibular gland protrusion After square jaw surgery , The salivary glands that were previously covered by the jawbone may be exposed and revealed as an outer contour. So, what looks smooth on CT may appear bumpy in the mirror. In this case, it may be difficult to correct with just simple botox treatment. Situations where actual surgical reduction or partial resection is required This can happen. (Treatment method determination requires a specialist evaluation.) 3. Subplatysmal fat accumulation If you reduce the jawbone The space becomes smaller and the fat underneath becomes compressed and lumpy. This fat cannot be resolved with just regular liposuction. Removal after precise layer separation through submandibular approach is important. (Removed submandibular gland, biceps muscle, and submandibular fat) 3. How can these problems be solved? 🎯Multi-level approach is possible with only a 2–3cm incision below the chin. . Fortunately, most of the above problems Correction is possible with just a 2-3cm incision under the chin. do. With one incision line, ✔ Remove submuscular fat ✔ Re-fixing the double chin ✔ Submandibular gland reduction can be done simultaneously. Surgery to address problems that cannot be solved with simple liposuction A perspective on 'submental rejuvenation' Access is required from . thus double chin surgery The following structures must be considered together: submuscular fat Lee Bok-geun Axillary line These three factors must be accurately assessed and included in the treatment plan. The “beautiful jawline” seen on CT scans is naturally implemented on the actual face. 4. What is the recovery process like? ? 1~2 weeks : Swelling, pulling, discomfort 1~3 months : Organizational stabilization phase 3~6 months : Final outline cleaning stage Although there are individual differences, the initial discomfort tends to be alleviated relatively quickly. The final line will naturally settle after a sufficient recovery period. FAQ ❓ Q1. How long does the recovery period take? A1. Initial swelling and discomfort usually subside within a few weeks, and tissue stabilization occurs over several months, although this varies from person to person. Q2. Are there any side effects from double chin surgery? A2. It is important to consult a specialist and receive a prior evaluation as there may be changes in sensation, changes in saliva secretion, persistent swelling, inflammation, and nerve-related discomfort. Q3. What is the difference between this and a neck lift? A3. Neck lift surgery focuses on improving sagging and wrinkles throughout the neck, while double chin surgery focuses on improving Focus on improving the central area under the chin and jaw line There is a difference between which method is appropriate. Assessing the cause is most important Conclusion 🧾 Contouring surgery is a powerful bone correction method, but It can be disappointing to not address soft tissue issues when completing the contour. Why a Double Chin Remains After Contouring Surgery is not just fat, ✔ Muscle ✔ Salivary glands ✔ Submuscular fat This is because many factors work together in a complex manner. The important thing is, “An accurate diagnosis of why this phenomenon occurred”, Choosing the appropriate treatment method based on the results is the safest and most effective. If discomfort persists, consult with a medical professional We recommend that you check the current status carefully. 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting
허재원 원장26.01.02Views 408Likes 6 [Health Column] Is Bone Grafting Really Necessary for Implants? Key Points to Consider Before Surgery[7]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. At the dentist Implant consultation The most nerve-wracking moment when receiving it is “I need a bone graft.” Isn't it when you hear that? Costs are rising, and concerns are growing about whether treatment is truly necessary. In particular, you may have had the experience of being confused because the language was slightly different at each hospital. But rather than worrying Accurate understanding comes first. Today, we'll explain what implant 'bone grafting' is, whether it's really necessary for everyone, and even give you some tips for making a wise decision. 1. What exactly does implant bone grafting mean? ✨Bone grafting is not a process of ‘filling in bone’, but rather a process of creating space for new bone to grow. Many people think of bones as hard and unchanging tissues like stone, but in reality, Bone is a living tissue that is continuously created and reshaped and has microscopically porous structures. no see. thus Implant bone grafting is not simply a concept of filling, The process of creating space for bone cells to grow into It's much easier to understand if you think of it this way. When building a house, if you first set up the 'formwork', concrete will be poured into it and harden, right? Bone grafting is similar! The graft material acts as a mold. As my bone cells grow and enter it, it hardens into solid bone over time. In other words, bone grafting is not a process of 'attaching' bones, but a process of creating a 'frame (space)' for new bone growth. 2. What materials are used for bone grafting? Many people worry, “It’s not even my bone, so will it be okay?” bone graft material It is broadly divided into the following: 🔸 autologous bone Bone taken from the patient during surgery 🔸 heterognathic bone Materials safely processed from animal bones such as cows, horses, and pigs 🔸 Homologous bone Materials collected from another person's tissue and then sterilized and verified No single ingredient is always the best! They are used in combination according to the patient's gum bone condition and defect range. 3. So… is it impossible to get an implant ‘without bone grafting’? ✨ The correct answer is NO. Bone grafting is not necessary in all cases. The most important factor in deciding whether to have a bone graft is right, “How long has it been since you lost your tooth?” 📌 In this case, it is likely to be 'necessary' ⬆️ If you have lost a tooth for a long time and the gum bone has been absorbed a lot When the remaining bone thickness is very thin 📌 In this case, it may be 'avoidable' If the tooth was extracted relatively recently and there is sufficient existing bone remaining Also, these days, as implant technology advances, In some cases, stable implantation is possible without major surgery by using a 'short implant'. as a result “Bone grafting is not something that must always be done,” but rather a treatment that is decided based on the patient’s condition! 4. Short implants, are they okay? class I thought that a long implant would be advantageous, but Nowadays, surface technology and fixation power have advanced. Even short implants can be expected to provide sufficient stability. FAQ Q1. Are the purposes of bone grafting different for front teeth, molars, and teeth? A1. Yes, they are different. Molars must withstand strong chewing forces, so functional stability is the primary goal. Front teeth, on the other hand, are important for aesthetic reasons, as they need to prevent gum recession and shape changes. Therefore, if there is enough bone left on the molar side, it is possible to make a strategic choice of not necessarily going for bone grafting. Q2. If I don't do bone grafting and place a short implant, won't it be weak? A2. Surface treatment technology has improved, so you can expect sufficient fixing power. Q3. Is there anything patients can do in advance to avoid implant bone grafting? A3. If you manage inflammation well before tooth extraction, the implant environment can be greatly improved. Conclusion - “Knowing your bone condition and making a choice” is the most important. Implants are not simply a treatment to fill empty spaces.

Recently, not only is there a 'cosmetic nose job' for the sake of simply looking pretty, I want to solve functional problems such as rhinitis and nasal congestion. Functional rhinoplasty The number of people looking for it is also increasing. Functional rhinoplasty is performed in collaboration between a plastic surgeon and an otolaryngologist. A surgical method that can simultaneously improve both appearance and respiratory function. But. Today, we will summarize what functional rhinoplasty is and in what cases it can be helpful. What is functional rhinoplasty and why is collaboration important? 🌿Functional rhinoplasty is Rhinoplasty that simultaneously improves appearance and internal function Functional rhinoplasty is cosmetic rhinoplasty class Nasal disease surgery second Go together It is a surgery. For this purpose Collaborative consultation between a plastic surgeon and an otolaryngologist This is very important. ✨ The role of a plastic surgeon Consider the harmony of face shape and facial features Consideration of material selection and structural stability for the nose support Establishing a personalized surgical plan through sufficient consultation with the patient ✨ Why collaboration is important It’s not just a “nose that looks pretty” This is to complete “a nose that is comfortable to breathe in and functionally comfortable.” As much as “becoming pretty”, The process of checking both safety and functionality is very important. do. What are some nasal conditions and when should I consider surgery? 🌿 When nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing occur repeatedly due to rhinitis, etc. Representative nasal diseases include rhinitis There is this. Rhinitis is a disease that causes inflammation inside the nose (nasal cavity). It can usually be identified by the following symptoms: ✔️ Stuffy nose ✔️ Runny nose ✔️ Sneezing Many people try drug treatment first, but There are many cases where the symptoms get better only after taking medication, and then the discomfort returns. If your symptoms are severe or cause significant inconvenience in your daily life, In some cases, improvement can be expected through surgical treatment. What types of nasal surgery are there? Representative nasal disease surgeries that can be considered along with functional rhinoplasty include the following: 🔹 Deviated septum The nasal septum cartilage that supports the center of the nose is bent, It can cause functional disorders such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, and sinusitis. also Your nose may appear crooked on the outside. there is. The surgery Correcting curved cartilage and bones and reinforcing the support So We use an approach that improves both function and appearance. 🔹 inferior turbinate hypertrophy The inferior turbinate is an important structure that purifies and regulates the air inside the nose. If this organization grows abnormally large, Inflammation, increased runny nose, and swelling of the mucous membranes occur. It is also linked to rhinitis and sinusitis. In this case Excision of excessive tissue of the inferior turbinate Surgery to free up space may be considered. 🔹 Nonvalvular stenosis The narrow space inside the upper part of the nose is blocked Problems that can lead to difficulty breathing and sleep disturbances no see. It is often difficult to confirm with the naked eye We will identify the cause through precise examinations such as 3D-CT, Surgery may be performed to widen the space and aid breathing. Why is it good to have cosmetic rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty together? 🌿 Satisfied with the appearance + a nose that is comfortable to breathe in at the same time In fact, I had planned to have a nose job for cosmetic reasons, but during the examination, functional problems were also discovered, so I had to have two surgeries. proceed simultaneously This is happening more and more often. Many people “I’m satisfied with the shape, but what if it’s difficult to breathe?” I'm worried about that. so ✔️ Appearance improvements ✔️ Functional improvements This is why it is important to consider both aspects in surgery. At this time too Collaboration between plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists is essential. A medical staff system that understands and communicates each area well greatly increases satisfaction with the results. What is the role of an otolaryngologist in functional diagnosis and follow-up care? 🌿 From accurate cause identification to customized surgery and post-operative function check. ENT specialist is responsible for accurately identifying the anatomical structure and functional problems of the nose and designing a surgery that suits the patient's condition. ✔️ Explain functional problems and their causes to patients in an easy-to-understand manner ✔️ Check individual cartilage condition and internal structure ✔️ Customized surgery ✔️ Check whether function has improved after surgery Additionally, the better the collaborative system is established, the more likely it is that results will be achieved that satisfy both form and function. FAQ 💬 Q1. Do I have to receive functional rhinoplasty at a collaborative hospital? A1. Because both cosmetic purposes and functional improvement are often required, It is helpful to choose a hospital where plastic surgery and otolaryngology can work together to develop treatment and surgical plans. Q2. Are there cases where drug treatment alone is not sufficient? A2. Some nasal diseases, such as rhinitis, may improve with medication, only to return with discomfort. If symptoms are severe and functional discomfort is significant, surgical options may be discussed. Q3. Is functional rhinoplasty different from simple cosmetic rhinoplasty? A3. The difference is that it is not simply a ‘surgery to make the nose pretty’, but rather a ‘surgery that also improves breathing comfort’. conclusion The nose is the center of the face An organ responsible for the important function of breathing no see. So, don't just look at the appearance, Diagnosis and consultation that examines the harmony and function of the entire face are necessary. do. ✔️ Plastic surgery and ENT departments working together Collaborative system ✔️ Nasal endoscopy, 3D-CT, etc. Accurate diagnostic equipment ✔️ Medical staff with sufficient consultation and abundant clinical experience In a place where these conditions are met, it is advisable to carefully choose the method that suits you. If you are experiencing any discomfort right now, consult a specialist to find a solution that suits you.

hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Director Kim Hyeong-seok no see. I hear this a lot during consultations in the clinic. “I think I need treatment, but the cost of implants is too much.” Because implants are a long-term treatment If you need to do multiple things at once , the financial burden may feel great. However, if you continue to postpone treatment due to cost, Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition As time goes by, the inconvenience may increase. So today When the cost of implants is burdensome, realistic options and criteria to consider Let's organize it. Are implants the right choice for everyone? 🔸Implants are not the only answer in all cases. Implants are Restore lost tooth function It is an effective treatment method. but If you have a systemic disease If you are elderly If the gum bone condition is not good The burden of treatment may increase. Here Situations requiring multiple plantings If so Cost burden It will increase together. ✔️ So the important point is “It’s not the same treatment for everyone, Choices that suit your individual circumstances This is necessary The point is “to do.” Why do implant costs feel particularly burdensome? 🔸 It's not just a matter of 'the cost of one tooth'. The cost of implants can vary greatly depending on the following factors: 🔸 Number of teeth lost 🔸 Gum bone condition 🔸 Whether additional surgery is needed (e.g. bone grafting, etc.) 🔸 Long-term maintenance plan Especially if you need to do multiple things at the same time, More than the treatment itself economic burden This is often the biggest concern. Are there any realistic alternatives to treatment that can reduce the cost burden? 🔸 Reducing the number of implants and utilizing existing prosthetics together may be an alternative. for example, Implant dentures like Place a small number of implants sun Stable support for dentures How to design it to do so silver ✔️Compared to full implants Reduced surgical burden Reduced cost burden Expected functional recovery You can expect the following advantages: This method in particular, People who find existing dentures uncomfortable People who frequently lose their dentures or have weak chewing strength Those who find full implants difficult due to cost or health issues It could be an option for you. but, Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , please remember. What are the differences between implant dentures and conventional dentures? 🔸Implant dentures This is a way to compensate for the reason why the dentures were moving or uncomfortable. Many people say that existing dentures are structured to be placed on top of the gums, and that they are uncomfortable because they move or lift when eating. On the other hand, the denture method using implants is Implants support dentures Because it does it ✔️ Reduced movement ✔️ More stable chewing power transmission You can expect. Of course, we do not guarantee the same results for everyone, and applicability may vary depending on individual circumstances. Who are implant dentures a particularly good choice for? 🔸 It's worth considering if: ✔️ If you are concerned about having multiple implants placed ✔️ If you find it uncomfortable to use existing dentures ✔️ If gum bone absorption has progressed ✔️ In cases where long-term surgery is difficult due to overall health issues The most important criterion is, “Which treatment is good?” rather than “ Is this the right choice for me? "no see. It is recommended that you consult with a specialist to find the right treatment for your situation. FAQ Q1. Isn’t implant the best treatment? A1. Implants are a good treatment, but There is not always the same answer for everyone. Cost, gum condition, and overall health must be considered together. Q2. Is it okay to postpone getting implants because of the cost? A2. In some cases Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition This can cause significant inconvenience. Rather than delaying, it is better to explore the options available to you in your current situation. Q3. Are alternative treatments like implant dentures available to everyone? A3. No. Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , it is safe to decide after consultation. conclusion Implants are certainly a good treatment option, but The same approach isn't always the best choice for everyone. Considering cost, gum condition, lifestyle, and overall health “Is this treatment realistically feasible for me right now?” It is most important to judge. ⚠️ Rather than simply postponing treatment, Consult with an expert to determine what options are available in your current situation. I recommend you give it a try. ✨ Treatment, once decided, has a long-lasting impact on your life. “We don’t just look at cost, we don’t just chase the latest treatments, Finding the right direction for me "This is the best choice.

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Every time I look in the mirror Protruding cheekbones Aren't there a lot of people stressed out because of this? "I want to get surgery to make myself smaller, but I'm too scared of bone cutting." I hear this a lot in the clinic. The burden of general anesthesia, concerns about pin fixation, and a long recovery period For those of you who are worried and hesitant, Today, I will explain about the '230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery' that reduces the burden of surgery while creating smooth lines. Why was 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery introduced? 📌 The Shift in Trends: From "Big Bone Cuts" to "Precise Trimming" past There are many patients whose cheekbones themselves are very developed. '3D clavicle reduction surgery' that boldly cuts and moves bones This was common. But patients visiting hospitals recently are a little different. Rather than cases where the bone needs to be cut out significantly, A 'smoothing-focused' case that wants to smooth out uneven lines. There are a lot more. Patients' needs have changed, so surgical methods cannot remain the same. So I thought about it. ✔️ Is general anesthesia absolutely necessary? ✔️ Is it really necessary to remove a large amount of bone? ✔️ Is it possible to achieve results while reducing the burden? A method to create the slim line you want while reducing the burden of major problems such as general anesthesia or oral incisions. The technique designed to do this is called ‘230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery.’ How exactly is 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery performed? 📌Using shaving technology and cheekbone 'elasticity', it precisely reduces only the necessary area. Many people wonder what the difference is between the 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery and the 'quick reduction surgery'. commonly Quick zygomatic reduction surgery It literally means to operate quickly, mainly excluding 45 degree angles. side clown only It is often dealt with. In this case, there are many cases where the 45-degree wide angle is not improved, resulting in low satisfaction, or where patients end up considering reoperation with 3D wide angle reduction surgery. the other side, 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery It is as simple as a quick reduction surgery, but it is also a lot of trouble. Solve up to 45 degree angles together There is a big difference in that they do it. 45 degree angle (under eye): Without cutting the bone completely Partial osteotomy Only then do the protruding part. Shaving So it grinds smoothly . approximately A reduction effect of about 2~3mm You can see it, and you can expect a slimness that is comparable to that of a real 3D reduction surgery. Side cheekbones (in front of ears): After slightly separating the bones, push them inward like a drawer to reduce the overall width of the face. {CT images before and after 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery (left and right)} 💡 Wait! People like this, be careful! if The 45 degree cheekbone itself If it is very large and thick Ramen, shaving techniques alone may not be effective, so a traditional '3D face reduction surgery' may be more suitable. Before surgery Accurate diagnosis through CT scan This is essential no see. Fixed pins, do I really need them? What's the difference? 📌You can choose according to the patient's condition and preference. Because the 230-degree stereoscopic implant does not cut out the entire bone, there is a wide range of options for bone fixation methods. In fact, the selection ratio of my patients is also very diverse. Non-fixed (33%) : Wait for natural adhesion without pins. Preferred by those sensitive to foreign substances. Titanium pins (33%) : It is fixed as firmly as possible (as seen on the X-ray). Melting Pin (33%) : Over time, it is absorbed into the body and disappears (not visible on X-rays). (Pre- and post-operative CT images with titanium pin fixation) (Pre- and post-operative CT images with fixation using melting pins) 👨⚕️ Tip from Director Hyunwoo Jo: Even though the results after surgery are the same, the bones harden quickly. If you are concerned about your bones not healing after surgery , Pin it I would recommend a little more. However, through sufficient consultation, you can choose the method that is right for you. FAQ 🙋♀️🙋♂️ Q1. What is the difference between 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery and 3D reduction surgery? A1. 3D reduction surgery A method of cutting the entire cheekbone + side cheekbone at a 45 degree angle with an incision inside the mouth no see. On the other hand, 230 degree stereoscopic reduction surgery Through a 45-degree scalp incision, the cheekbones are partially cut + shaved, and the side cheekbones are cut and moved inward. How to order It is important to choose a surgery that suits your individual bone structure. Q2. 45-degree wide-angle shaving, will the effects really be noticeable? A2. Since the swelling is not that great immediately after surgery, you can feel the changes relatively quickly. However, after a month, you may feel the swelling decrease. approximately After about six months, you will often notice a clear difference before and after. Q3. Will the hair in the scalp incision area grow back? A3. Hair at the incision site falls out and then It starts growing again after 2 months do. The incision line itself is small and often becomes unnoticeable over time. conclusion 230 degree stereoscopic reduction surgery Reduce unnecessary burden and precisely improve only the essential parts. It is a surgical method designed to do so. Not everyone experiences the same results, Choose the method that is right for you through CT scan and consultation with a specialist. The most important thing is to do it. ✔️ If you are concerned about general anesthesia ✔️ If you need a 'precise trim' rather than a full clown ✔️ If you are worried about the fixed pin We recommend that you make a decision after sufficient comparison through consultation. I hope today's explanation helped you make your choice. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Master of Medicine, Yonsei University Graduate School Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Severance Hospital Plastic Surgery Visiting Professor Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery regular member Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons regular member International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS) member Regular member of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons regular member Executive Director of the Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery Research Association Director of Hyun 3D Plastic Surgery Clinic Experience in facial contouring treatment 21 year

hello, Director Moon Ji-hwan of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital no see. When you walk, your calves and thighs easily become sore, If your legs start to feel numb after walking just a little bit and you have to rest, is it simply fatigue? Many people only think of back pain, Spinal stenosis often first presents itself in the legs. Today this disease Why does it occur, why does it repeat, and from what perspective should we look at it? cast Let's organize it to fit our daily experiences. Why does spinal stenosis occur? The cause of spinal stenosis is not the 'result' of nerve compression, The process of 'reducing the space' through which nerves pass This is the key. As I get older ✔️ The posterior joint is getting thicker and thicker ✔️ The ligaments become stiff ✔️ The alignment of the waist and pelvis may be disrupted. If this condition continues Weight is repeatedly placed on a specific area , In that cumulative process The space in the passage through which the nerve passes gradually decreases. At first, it may feel like simple leg fatigue and be easy to miss, but ⚠️ If you experience recurring discomfort while walking, it may be an early sign. “It used to be a no-brainer, but these days it’s hard to walk without taking frequent breaks.” 👉 Instead of simply dismissing recurring walking discomfort as ‘due to age,’ it is better to examine the cause. What are the symptoms of spinal stenosis? Spinal stenosis is Discomfort varies depending on posture This is a representative feature. ✔️ If you straighten your back, the discomfort will get worse (the space for the nerves to pass through becomes narrower) ✔️ A feeling of temporary relief when bending over (the space for the nerves to pass through is temporarily expanded) Because of this, many people Walking posture with the back unconsciously bent will be taken. However, this posture actually increases lumbar instability. ⚠️ spinal canal It can accelerate the progression of stenosis. 🔸 Symptoms that may appear together Reduced walking distance Feeling like my legs are losing strength sensory changes 👉 If symptoms change depending on posture, it may be a structural problem rather than simple muscle pain. Why does spinal stenosis recur or worsen? Because the 'reason' for the narrowing of the neural canal has not been resolved. Spinal stenosis is not simply a recurring “narrowing of the nerve canal.” ✔️ If the axis of the waist and pelvis remains collapsed, ✔️ The weight remains in the same position ✔️ Changes such as posterior joint hypertrophy and ligament hypertrophy accumulate again. (Hypertrophy, simply put, is more than the original Thickened and enlarged no see.) So many people Repeating the pattern of “getting better and then feeling uncomfortable again” It will be done. “I was fine for a while after the treatment, but at some point I had trouble walking again.” 👉 Rather than just alleviating symptoms, Why is it repeated? We need a perspective that looks at it together. Why should we look at spinal stenosis structurally? When treating spinal stenosis This is because we look at the ‘alignment flow’ of the waist-pelvis-hip joint, not just the waist. Spinal stenosis is 👉 It is the 'result' of a pinched nerve 👉 The process of accumulated change as alignment collapses no see. The treatment used at this time is ✔️ Alignment-based manual therapy ✔️ Spinal Alignment Restoration It doesn't just stop at relaxing your muscles, Considering the axes of the pelvis, lumbar spine, and hip joints together Direction to reduce lumbar shaking and instability It proceeds as follows. When the alignment is stable ✔️ Reduces the burden on the nerves when walking ✔️ An environment is created that can alleviate the inconvenience of walking in daily life. It is important to “not just look at the narrow space, but to correct why it has become narrow.” FAQ Q1. Does all spinal stenosis require surgery? A1. Not all cases are candidates for surgery. Many people can manage it with non-surgical treatment and lifestyle management. However, if there are changes in nerve function such as decreased leg strength, loss of sensation, or urinary difficulty, prompt treatment is required. Q2. Is walking exercise helpful? A2. While it may help in some situations, forcing yourself to walk while out of alignment can actually make the discomfort worse. It is important to adjust the amount and method of walking according to your individual condition. Q3. If the pain is reduced, does that mean the stenosis has improved? A3. It is difficult to determine recovery based on pain reduction alone. If the structural cause remains, symptoms may reappear. 📌Spinal stenosis Structural disorders that affect walking ability beyond back pain no see. So rather than simply reducing inconvenience, ✔️ Why the neural canal is narrow ✔️ What alignment changes have accumulated? It is important to look at the process together. Although not all of your current symptoms may be signs of illness, If you experience recurring discomfort while walking in your daily life It's a good idea to check it out once in a while. Through consultation with a specialist Management direction that suits your condition Please take a look.

hello, 3D plastic surgery at During surgery doing Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. There is a phrase I hear most often in the clinic these days. “I’ve been getting facelifts once or twice a year, but now it seems to be having little effect.” And the question that comes up right after, “I’ve had facelifts several times. Is it possible to have a facelift?” Anyone who has had repeated thread lifting will have faced this concern at least once. today Why Facelift Surgery Can Be More Complicated After a Facelift cast, Cases confirmed in actual clinical settings and international academic journals Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (2025) Dr. Yordan P. Yordanov research paper I will explain it focusing on . 1. What type of lifting procedure is thread lifting? 🎯 What is a thread lift? It is a non-surgical lifting method that physically pulls the skin using threads under the skin. 🔹 Thread lifting is a procedure that involves inserting absorbable threads under the skin. A method of pulling up sagging areas no see. 🔹 Immediately after the procedure, you may feel your jawline or nasolabial folds lifted. immediate change It feels like an advantage. Choosing a facelift usually starts with the following reasons: “ Major surgery is a burden When you just want to do some light lifting” “ Whenever I feel my face sagging “If you choose to repeat the non-surgical method” 2. Why do changes occur in the internal tissues with repeated thread lifting? 🎯Silifting Even after the thread disappears, traces of the organization may remain. 🔸 Absorbable threads (PDO, PLLA, PCL, etc.) used in thread lifting dissolve over time. 🔸 But in this process Stimulates collagen production And that place fibrous tissue can be changed to 👉 Research has shown how these changes actually manifest themselves. Dr. Yordanov will be present from 2021 to 2023 History of receiving thread lifting Ten patients (average age 59 years) were studied. facial lifting surgery We conducted the experiment and directly observed the internal organizational status. in result, The following common changes were identified in all patients: ✔️ The area where the thread entered Become hardened ✔️ Skin, subcutaneous fat, and SMAS layers adhesion ✔️ Anatomically important layers reduced mobility ✔️ Increased surgical time : Difficulty in removing the skin layer and increased bleeding in other words, "Even if the truth melts, organizational change can remain." That is the key point. 3. How will these tissue changes affect facial contouring surgery? 🎯 The surgical procedure may become more difficult. 🔹 Facial contouring surgery involves exfoliating and reshaping the tissue beneath the skin. 🔹 But after the thread lifting In cases of fibrosis and adhesion , → Organizational separation becomes more difficult → Anatomical distinction may become difficult during surgery. ✨ A common point confirmed in research papers is, “ Silifting is Changes that leave a lasting impact on an organization are more lasting than temporary effects. .” “ thread lifting After Facial contouring It becomes much more anatomically complex .” in other words , repetitive thread lifting silver 'Later surgery' Making it difficult 'viewless evidence' second It means to leave behind . 4. So, if I had a facelift, would it be impossible to get a facelift? 🎯 No, it's not. But 'information sharing' is important. ✔️ Just because you've had facelifts multiple times Facial augmentation is not impossible. ✔️ I also perform mainly facial contouring surgeries, and I often meet patients who undergo surgery after thread lifting. It is very rare for someone to choose a facelift from the beginning without ever having tried a threadlift. Looking at actual surgical cases, one in three cases shows evidence of previous insertion of lifting threads. 📌 However, Information you must know before surgery There is. 🔸 Treatment period 🔸 Treatment area 🔸 Type of thread used 🔸 Number of treatments ⚠️ You need this information, → Avoid unexpected adhesions during surgery → See Safe surgical planning can be established. 5. How does thread lifting compare to other procedures? 🎯 Not all treatments have the same effects. 🔹 When you look at the clinical site, Collagen stimulants (such as Juvelook) Fat grafting/liposuction Certain volume control procedures (such as Accusculpt) This can actually make the surgery more complicated. ✨ Compared to this, Traces of lifting thread are relatively easy to clean up. It often falls into this category. What's important is not 'what kind of procedure was performed', but 'how accurately was it shared with the medical staff?' FAQ ❓ Q1. Why does the effect of thread lifting disappear quickly? A1. Since thread lifting does not fundamentally reposition the structure, the lifting effect may diminish over time. In some cases, the effects may be felt longer when combined with other procedures. Q2. I'm considering a face lift. Which would be better, thread lifting or face lifting? A2. It depends on the degree of sagging and the desired effect. Non-surgical methods may be considered for mild sagging, while surgical methods may be more appropriate for moderate to severe sagging. Q3. When can I return to my daily routine after a facial contouring procedure? I'm curious about the recovery period. A3. Initially, there will be swelling and tightness, but this will gradually stabilize over a period of time. Recovery rates may vary depending on individual condition. Conclusion 🧾 Although thread lifting is simple, Internal tissue changes may remain when repeated. This change was followed by facial contouring surgery. Factors that make it more delicate This could be it. ✔️ This does not mean that surgery is impossible. Sharing accurate treatment history is key no see. ✨ Rather than just choosing, Check the current status and past treatment history together do Consult with a specialist thoroughly The right direction for me It is important to find . 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Master of Medicine, Yonsei University Graduate School Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting 👉 Are you curious about the facial contouring surgery of Dr. Jae-Won Heo of 3D Plastic Surgery?

This happens often. From the side In cases where the jawline is long, the chin area is also reduced. This is also utilized. However, since the amount of resection is determined by the individual's skeletal range, an actual CT-based evaluation is required during consultation. Q2. Can I request that the bone be shaved as much as I want during contouring surgery? A2. Bones are not like clay that can be sculpted freely. Vascular thickness, nerve location, bone fusion extent, etc. Each has its own average limits. Therefore, patient goals and the actual possible surgical scope may not be the same. Q3. How long does contouring surgery recovery take? A3. Usually Major swelling lasts for about two weeks It is common for the swelling to subside, and residual swelling may persist for longer. The average recovery time is Step-by-step changes over several weeks You can expect the flow to go through . conclusion contouring surgery It doesn't simply lead to "the more you delete, the better". ✔ Excessive bone removal may result in sensory problems. ✔ Sagging, absorption, and nonunion may occur after recovery. ✔ More than the removal range Safe structural preservation increases long-term satisfaction.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Recently, interest in transparent braces has increased significantly. At the center of it all is Invisalign There is a brand called . In the previous column too I briefly mentioned this when introducing the types of orthodontic devices. 👉[Health Column] Lingual Braces vs. Invisalign: How to Choose the 'Unnoticeable Braces'? Today, we'll delve deeper into Invisalign, exploring its advantages and limitations, as well as the importance of medical professionals. 1. What is Invisalign? Invisalign was developed by Align Technology in the United States. Representative transparent orthodontic device no see. Without the traditional wires or brackets, Device made of transparent plastic This method involves dividing the teeth into several stages (usually 20 to 100 stages) and wearing them sequentially to gradually move the teeth. ✔️ Invisalign production process - Scan your teeth with an intraoral digital scanner - Send scan data to US headquarters - Create 3D simulations based on tooth movement plans designed by medical staff - 3D printing of step-by-step transparent devices -Once the completed device arrives at the dentist, orthodontic treatment begins. The teeth move little by little as you wear the devices in a sequence that is meticulously planned for each step, and correction progresses. This whole process digital foundation In that it is made up of , Invisalign can be said to be an innovative orthodontic method that uses technology. 2. Advantages and limitations of Invisalign Invisalign silver 'Unobtrusive', 'Removable' has great advantages in two aspects. It is a treatment method that provides high satisfaction, especially to adults who are active in daily life or social activities. ✔️ Advantages - Almost invisible due to transparent device - The device is removable, making it easy to maintain oral hygiene. - Less gum irritation and relatively mild initial pain - Temporarily removable for important locations or filming However, Invisalign is not a panacea. The treatment effect may vary depending on the patient's cooperation and wearing habits, and there are limitations in cost and applicable cases. ✔️ Limits - Requires wearing for 20 to 22 hours a day - The cost is higher than general correction because the device is individually manufactured. - Results may vary significantly depending on treatment design capabilities. - May have limited application in complex teeth. ✔️ Comparison with bracket correction method item Invisalign (clear braces) Bracket correction Device type transparent plastic device Metal or ceramic brackets Aesthetics barely noticeable Looks good on the outside Whether detachable or not Possible (separate when eating or brushing teeth) Impossible (always attached) Hygiene management Easy to brush, less food stuck Needs maintenance, food can easily get stuck expense relatively high relatively inexpensive Wearing conditions Requires wearing for more than 20 hours a day Constant fixation, low cooperation 3. The key to Invisalign's success is its "medical team's design capabilities." Many people “Wouldn’t it be okay to just order a transparent device and put it in?” asks. But the most important part of Invisalign treatment is Accurate design and planning no see. Invisalign is not a simple ready-made product; it must be precisely designed to fit each patient's dental condition, specifying the direction, order, and amount of teeth movement. This process is all planned by the medical staff and the data is sent to Align headquarters for production. That is, even if you use devices of the same brand, The medical staff's diagnostic ability, orthodontic design experience, and ability to adjust during treatment Depending on the method, the degree of completion and treatment results may vary significantly. 4. Is Invisalign the right treatment for me? The Invisalign is clear A convenient and aesthetic correction method no see. However, it is not necessarily suitable for all patients. In cases where the arrangement of teeth is complex or cooperation is low, Rather, it may extend the treatment period or make it difficult to achieve the desired results. So, to determine if Invisalign is right for you and which treatment direction will be most effective, A thorough consultation with an experienced orthodontist is absolutely necessary. Please remember that the designer's fingertips are just as important as digital technology.

김현순 원장25.08.14Views 799Likes 6 [Health Column] What is Cataract? A comprehensive overview from early symptoms to post-surgery care[11]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. Cataracts are a natural eye condition that can occur with aging. However, if you think, "It's normal for my eyesight to worsen as I get older," and ignore it, you may miss the optimal time for treatment. Today, I would like to talk about cataracts. 1. Early symptoms of cataracts, don't just dismiss them as aging When cataracts begin to develop, vision may feel different in bright and dark environments, and eyes may easily become tired when reading books or using smartphones. In particular, vision may temporarily become more blurred after exercise or when dehydrated. If you notice these changes, it could be a sign of cataracts. 2. What is cataract? A condition where the 'lens' inside the eye becomes cloudy. Cataracts are a condition that occurs as the transparent lens called the 'lens' of the eye gradually becomes cloudy. This lens plays a role in focusing so that we can see objects clearly, but as we age, it loses elasticity and gradually becomes foggy. When the lens becomes cloudy, focus is not properly achieved, causing objects to appear blurry, and light scattering can lead to glare. The symptoms of cataracts can vary depending on the location and degree of cloudiness, and sometimes they only impair vision at certain distances or cause objects to appear overlapped. 3. How is cataract surgery performed? Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and inserting an artificial lens (intraocular lens) in its place. Recently, ultrasound or laser technology has been used to perform the surgery more precisely. In particular, implanting a multifocal intraocular lens allows for clear vision at both near and far distances, increasing convenience in daily life. The artificial lenses used nowadays have a lifespan of over 80 years, and their durability is so high that most patients do not need to replace them after the initial surgery. 4. Postoperative precautions and management determine recovery. Immediately after surgery, your eyes may become sensitive to light or see colors strangely. Especially in cases where multifocal lenses are implanted, lights may appear to spread or night vision may be somewhat blurry. This usually improves gradually over time, so there's no need to worry too much. After surgery, please use eye drops consistently for three weeks and be careful not to rub or vigorously wipe your eyes. Also, during the first week after surgery, be cautious to prevent water from entering your eyes during washing or showering. Even if you wear glasses, you may experience dryness or foreign body sensation, so using artificial tears can also be helpful. 5. Do not misunderstand color changes, blue light, and misconceptions When cataracts develop, some of the light entering the eye, especially blue spectrum light, is blocked. After surgery removes the cloudiness, this blue light can enter again more easily, which may cause colors to suddenly appear bluish or purplish. However, this is part of the normal recovery process, and the optic nerve gradually adapts. Sometimes, there are claims that wearing blue light blocking glasses can help prevent or improve symptoms of cataracts, but this is incorrect information. Blue light is part of natural sunlight, so it cannot be completely blocked, nor is it necessary to do so. 6. Timing of surgery, "finding the right moment," is the key. Cataract surgery is generally performed when vision deterioration causes inconvenience in daily life. If performed too early, the effectiveness of the surgery may be minimal, and if delayed too long, the risk of other complications such as glaucoma or retinal diseases increases. Just like squeezing acne too early or too late can leave scars, it is important to determine the 'appropriate timing' for cataract surgery. It is advisable to check your eye condition through regular ophthalmic examinations and to make a decision after thorough consultation with a specialist. 7. Recovery period and return to daily life, it is important not to overexert yourself. Vision does not immediately return to normal right after surgery. Most patients feel that their vision clears up within about a day after the procedure, but complete recovery takes a little more time. Washing your face is possible about a week after surgery, and normal daily activities can be resumed without difficulty after approximately three weeks. During this period, the use of eye drops and managing eye dryness are very important, and it is also recommended to limit the use of smartphones and computers during the first two weeks. In conclusion Cataracts are a natural aging phenomenon that anyone can experience. However, the quality of life can vary greatly depending on treatment and management. Instead of thinking "it's a bit uncomfortable but I can tolerate it," it is most important to receive appropriate treatment at the right time based on an accurate diagnosis and the advice of a specialist. Since our eyes are precious organs used throughout our lives, do not hesitate to visit an ophthalmologist if you notice any abnormal signs. Small changes can bring great reassurance.

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

The results are great. 👉🏻 Mom, I made an appointment for double eyelid and lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery.
