View moreFor the breast surgery consultation at View Plastic Surgery Clinic, I was most worried about the pain and the cost.[15]
Hello. I was very worried about having small breasts, so I received a consultation for breast surgery at View Plastic Surgery. My biggest concern was the cost, and I was also very worried about the surgery process and post-operative pain. I chose View Plastic Surgery because it is huge and operates its own medical checkup center, so it feels trustworthy. Since it is a major surgery, I wanted to get a consultation at a safe place. I thought it would be safe because View Plastic Surgery is the number one hospital for the most breast surgeries, so they have a lot of experience. As expected, hearing about the cost during the consultation made me hesitate the most... I've been thinking about it a lot, but I'm also scared and wondering if I really need to spend a lot of money on surgery. But I'll be very satisfied after the surgery, right? ㅠㅠ I'm still hesitating even after the consultation...
머랭이26.06.11Views 93Likes 0 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist[1]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

Today, from the benefits of ptosis surgery to side effects, recovery period, and cost, Difference from eye shape correction and double eyelid surgery We will clearly summarize everything up to this point. What is Ptosis? A Complete Comparison of True vs. Pseudo-Ptosis Ptosis The eyelid rim (the edge line where the eyelashes are) It settled down abnormally It is in a state where the black pupils are covered. The rim of the eyelid is the black pupil 1mm or more If it is covered, you may suspect ptosis. However, the important point is that the direction of the surgery changes completely depending on the 'cause' of the pupil being obscured. division cause External features surgery required True ptosis The eyelid margin itself droops (weakening of the eye-opening muscles) Skin is normal, but the rim covers the pupil; eyebrows are raised and forehead wrinkles have worsened. Ptosis surgery needed Pseudoptosis (Fake) The skin is sagging and obscuring the pupil (the border is in its normal position) Skin sagging · Forehead lifting: The edges are visible when lifting the skin It can be solved with just the double eyelid line. 💡 Self-distinguishing method : Don't stare wide Just be comfortable as usual With your eyes open, check if the rim of your eyelid covers your pupil. If the rim rises to the normal position when you slightly lift the skin → Pseudoptosis It is highly likely. Differences between ptosis surgery, eye shape correction, and double eyelid surgery Three surgeries frequently heard of at plastic surgery clinics—how exactly are they different? Surgery name Target method double eyelid line Difficulty double eyelid surgery Pseudoptosis · Cosmetic purposes Line setting + skin excision necessary lowness Eye shape correction It is within the normal range, but a bit more distinctly Gently pull the eye-opening muscles necessary middle Ptosis surgery True ptosis Pull the eye-opening muscles sufficiently to lift the rim Need (Proceed together) height 📌 Key Points : Eye shape correction and ptosis surgery are all Proceeding together with establishing the double eyelid line It works. of 'how much you pull' Difference in intensity It distinguishes between the two surgeries.

Overcorrection (pulling too much) It causes the following side effects. Types of side effects symptoms Risk of occurrence Inability to close eyes (lagophthalmos) Eyes don't close completely while sleeping High when overcorrected mucosal exposure Elevation of the inner eyelid mucosa High when overcorrected Line bend The double eyelid line bends in a U-shape. middle dry eye syndrome Decreased tear secretion, dryness middle shedding tears Tears flow frequently Low to medium tail tucking A pulling sensation at the outer corners of the eyes (especially common in middle-aged women) High when overcorrected ⚠️ If for cosmetic purposes Just a little (minimally) Applying it is the principle. Excessive greed leads to side effects. Ptosis surgery recovery period period situation caution Immediately after surgery ~ 3 days Swelling and bruising peak Cold compress, do not rub your eyes 4~7 days stitch removal Refrain from eye makeup 2~4 weeks 70-80% reduction in swelling, return to daily life possible Refrain from strenuous exercise and drinking 1~3 months Line established Final confirmation after 3 to 6 months 6 months to 1 year Check final results Discussion on whether to make revisions is possible later. 💡 Pro tip: After surgery, forehead wrinkles may actually appear to increase. This is because the eyebrows descend to a natural position as the habit of raising the forehead muscles before surgery disappears. It's a normal reaction, so don't worry! Ptosis surgery cost There are significant differences depending on the hospital, scope of surgery, and region. The following is a general domestic average guideline; please be sure to verify through a personal consultation. Types of surgery Average cost range note Double eyelid surgery (pseudoptosis) 500,000 to 1,500,000 won There is a difference between the buried suture method and the incision method.

Sagging skin can achieve an eye shape correction effect simply by shaping and refining the lines. O You can also achieve the effect of double eyelid surgery by correcting the eye shape. You can achieve both effects simultaneously because it tightens the muscles while shaping the body. O Forehead lifts help with sagging eyelids — however, the order is important. It is more natural to consider a forehead lift after the eyebrows have drooped following double eyelid surgery.

Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort.

이현섭 원장26.05.21Views 28731Likes 1 [Health Column] 3 Things More Important Than Implant Costs: Criteria for Choosing a Failure-Free Clinic[2]
✨ Hello! We always put your dental health first. SmileD Dental Clinic, Chief Director Oh Su-hwan It is. 🥰 When considering dental implant treatment, many of you likely search by comparing with the 'lowest price' as your top priority. 🔍 However, it is truly heartbreaking to see patients in the consultation room who have hastily chosen a hospital based solely on cost, only to come to me later suffering from poor follow-up care or unexpected side effects. 😢 In fact, dental implants are not simply a surgery where you implant an artificial tooth and that's it; it is a highly precise treatment process that requires a perfect balance of three factors, from accurate pre-operative diagnosis to long-term maintenance. 🦷 Today, I will clearly summarize the 3 criteria for choosing a truly fail-safe implant dental clinic that are hidden behind the price! 👇 1️⃣ Implant experience and Total Treatment Is this a place where it is possible? ✨My precious Harmony between natural teeth and implants Check out the comprehensive medical care system that preserves and cares for together Many people choose a hospital after seeing the phrase "implant specialist" in an advertisement. However, under our country's medical system, there is no separate specialty called 'Implantology,' and actual treatment is completed through close collaboration among various dental subspecialties. The key point we must focus on here is that rather than a dental clinic that insists solely on implant placement, the patient's inherent preciousness 'Total Dental Clinic' that comprehensively considers natural teeth and implants It is to select. This is because inside our mouths, there are not only spaces that need to be newly implanted, but also natural teeth that must be saved and used for a long time. Furthermore, our medical team, having honed their proficiency through countless implant placements, possesses solid know-how to ensure safe and successful treatment even in unexpected, high-difficulty cases encountered during surgery. 2️⃣ Is it an 'explanation-centered' hospital that communicates with patients? Rushing treatment based solely on the counseling manager's guidance without a doctor's careful diagnosis Factory-style dental clinic Be vigilant The so-called practice of receiving a precise diagnosis from a doctor very briefly, and then hastily proceeding with a contract based solely on the consultation manager's words regarding specific treatment plans or surgery decisions. Factory-style dental clinic You must be cautious. ⚠️ Implant treatment is between the patient and the medical team Information asymmetry This is an area where it can occur very severely. 📉 If a patient undergoes surgery without fully understanding the details of the treatment, it becomes very difficult to clearly determine liability if side effects or problems arise later. Fully explaining the surgical process and the patient's condition and communicating closely with them is itself an excellent first step in treatment. Make sure to keep a close eye on whether the hospital operates an official blog or YouTube channel to actively communicate and resolve even the smallest questions from patients, and whether the doctor makes a kind effort to help patients understand during in-person consultations! 💬 3️⃣ Is there a 'post-care' program that takes responsibility until the very end? ✨ Check out the thorough regular check-up system to prevent side effects that are scarier than the implant itself Implant treatment does not end once the artificial tooth is safely implanted into the gum; it is a long journey where 'real care begins from that moment.' 🏁 Signs of complications and side effects, such as slight loosening of the prosthesis or gum swelling, appear very subtly in the early stages, making it extremely difficult for patients to notice them on their own. Therefore, periodic and thorough regular checkups are an absolute necessity. 🔍 If there is a place that irresponsibly says the following immediately after the surgery, it is safer to avoid it if possible. 💬 "If you have no discomfort, please come back in a year." Thoroughly checking whether the hospital consistently operates a systematic follow-up inspection program and demonstrates full responsibility by promising a clear written warranty period is the surest shortcut to avoiding wasting your precious time and money! 💰 🧐 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Isn't a dental clinic that specializes exclusively in implants always better? 🤔 A1. Of course, choosing a dental clinic with an overwhelmingly large number of implant surgery cases is a good idea. 👌 However, you should avoid places that insist solely on extraction followed by implant placement, even if there is a possibility of saving your natural teeth. Care that ensures the health of the existing natural teeth and the occlusion of the newly implanted implant prosthetics interlock harmoniously. Total Dental Clinic Receiving treatment here is much more advantageous in the long run. ✨ Q2. The waiting time for treatment at the dental clinic I plan to visit is too long and difficult. Should I just put up with it and keep going? A2. Time convenience, as well as accessibility, plays a very significant role in a patient's satisfactory hospital experience. 🙏 If waiting times become excessively long and you are unable to receive necessary medical care or treatment smoothly in a timely manner, it will ultimately result in harm to the patient. Also, check if they have an efficient appointment and treatment system in place that allows you to receive medical care smoothly and without major disruptions at the appropriate time you desire. Q3. How can I prevent 'peri-implantitis,' where the gum bone erodes? ⚠️ A3. Implants are fundamentally different from natural teeth because they do not have nerves distributed inside. 💡 For this reason, even if severe inflammation develops in the surrounding gums, the patient feels little to no pain, making it easy to neglect. Ultimately, the only way to use your implants for a long time without side effects is to visit the dental clinic without fail according to the schedule set to have the condition of the prosthetic connections precisely checked, and to receive thorough care through systematic regular checkups and scaling. 🦷 🎯 Conclusion and Words of Advice 📌 Please make sure to remember this for successful treatment! Dental implants are absolutely not a trivial treatment to be chosen simply by comparing price lists and chasing the place offering the lowest price. 🙅♂️ You can achieve regret-free results only when firmly supported by the surgeon's seasoned clinical experience, explanation-centered communication that listens to the patient's voice, and a post-operative care program that takes responsibility for your entire life. ✨ Rather than being lured by exaggerated low-price advertisements or flashy discount offers to make a hasty decision about surgery, I hope you carefully compare the criteria I shared today one by one and make adjustments to regain your healthy teeth. 🥰 If you have any further questions regarding the condition of your teeth, please feel free to visit our dental clinic anytime for a thorough, personalized one-on-one consultation with a specialist! 💬 Smile D Dental Clinic Chief Director Oh Su-hwan Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Major in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Ministry of Health and Welfare certified orthodontist Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists Completed internship and residency in Orthodontics at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital International member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) International member of the World Federation of Correctional Organizations (WFO) Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists Certified by the Korean Association of Orthodontists View more expert columns by Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic 🔗 [Expert Column] Clear Aligners: Wire-Free Orthodontic Treatment—Can It Really Be Unnoticeable? 🔗 [Expert Column] No-Prep Dental Laminates: Is It Really 'No Prep'?

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. As you get older, you come to deeply realize just how precious dental health is. In particular, as elderly people begin to lose their teeth one by one, they find it difficult to chew food, their pronunciation becomes slurred, and they are prone to losing confidence in interpersonal relationships. In the past, many people wore dentures, but nowadays, the trend is to prefer implants due to the comfort they provide, which is similar in texture to natural teeth. However, the biggest obstacle would undoubtedly be the considerable 'cost'. Today, for those of you who have been hesitating to seek treatment due to the financial burden, I will explain in a very simple way how to receive benefits through the senior implant support system. 1. Who is eligible for dental implant support for the elderly? 🦷 If you are 65 years of age or older and have partial edentulism, you can receive treatment for up to two teeth in your lifetime with a 30% co-payment. Currently, health insurance provides dental implant benefits to support the dental health of seniors. However, this does not apply to all situations, and you must meet the following requirements. 🔸 Age Requirements Seniors aged 65 or older 🔸 Dental condition Partially edentulous condition with some teeth remaining 🔸 Membership Eligibility Health insurance subscribers or dependents If you meet these conditions, you can receive insurance coverage for up to two policies in your lifetime, out of the total cost Co-payment approximately 30% You can proceed with treatment at a high level, significantly reducing the burden compared to standard implants. 2. Why do prices vary from dental clinic to dental clinic, and when are additional costs incurred? 🦷Additional procedure costs may apply depending on the materials used and the condition of the patient's gum bone. Many patients ask, "The government provides support, so why is the final price different at every dental clinic?" The reason is that differences arise depending on which brand is used when implanting, the type of prosthesis, and the experience of the medical staff and the dental clinic's system. In addition, not all cases end with just the basic cost of the implant covered by health insurance. ✔️ Cases of severe gum bone deficiency ✔️ Cases where maxillary sinus lift is necessary ✔️ If your overall gum condition is poor In particular, elderly patients often have already absorbed alveolar bone (gum bone), so additional treatments such as bone grafting may be required; in such cases, a separate additional costs This may occur. 3. Why shouldn't you choose a dental clinic based solely on price? 🦷Since the elderly require consideration of both resilience and systemic diseases, the proficiency of medical staff should be the top priority. Dental implants are by no means a one-time treatment to be carelessly placed at a cheap place and called off. For the elderly, precise diagnosis is essential because they have low bone density and slow recovery rates, and above all, often suffer from systemic diseases. If you make a decision based solely on cost and then experience side effects requiring re-implantation, it could end up costing you double the time and money. Therefore, when choosing a dental clinic, be sure to check the checklist below! 📌 Do the medical staff have extensive clinical experience? 📌 Do they use genuine implant materials? 📌 Is a systematic follow-up care and regular check-up system in place? 📌 Is the scope of after-sales service and warranty clear? Ultimately, the core of the implant is How long and stably it can be used without side effects after being planted once It depends on. 4. What should I do if I have systemic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure? If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis, you must inform the medical staff before the procedure, as these conditions affect bone fusion. There are a great many elderly patients with underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis. These conditions involve the implant firmly attaching to the bone Bone fusion It can have a direct impact on the process or wound healing. For successful results, you must thoroughly check any medications you are currently taking before the procedure and meticulously manage blood sugar levels and oral hygiene to reduce the possibility of inflammation or unnecessary additional costs. 5. How to keep dental implants healthy for a long time after the procedure? Thorough personal hygiene and regular dental checkups are the only shortcuts to extending your lifespan. Just as important as getting implants economically with support is knowing how to care for them for a lifetime after they are implanted. If you strictly follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can use it stably for a long time. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or abnormalities in dental prosthetics are detected early, major treatments can be prevented. 🦷 Thorough brushing is a must; make dental floss and interdental brushes a part of your daily routine. 🚫 Absolutely quit smoking, as it causes inflammation around the implant. ⚠️ Avoid foods that are too hard or excessively tough, like squid. 🏥 Visit the dentist regularly for checkups, even if you have no symptoms F AQ Q1. You mentioned that support is limited to two times in a lifetime. If I am not satisfied with the dental clinic, can I switch midway and receive support again? A1. Health insurance support for dental implants is, in principle, Up to 2 in a lifetime Once the registration process is complete, it is difficult to change dental clinics due to a simple change of mind. You must carefully review everything from the initial diagnosis stage to the scope of aftercare before making a prudent choice. Q2. Are bone graft costs also covered by health insurance benefits (30% co-payment)? A2. No, unfortunately, additional surgeries such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lifts are Excluded from insurance coverage These are often non-covered items. Since additional costs may arise depending on the patient's gum condition, a thorough diagnosis and consultation are required in advance. conclusion The senior implant support system is a valuable health insurance benefit that improves access to treatment for elderly patients who have been delaying treatment due to the burden of costs. Rather than blindly chasing after places with the lowest prices, choose one that can accurately diagnose my condition Medical staff with extensive clinical experience Whether there is, Post-management system You must also consider whether it is properly equipped to ensure stable use for a long time. If you are experiencing dental discomfort, please do not delay; we encourage you to consult with medical professionals to design a healthy treatment plan that is perfect for you.

An accurate diagnosis through consultation with a specialist comes first. 2. Under-eye Fat Repositioning Surgery Method — How is it performed? Under-eye fat repositioning surgery is performed without incising the visible skin. The specialist flips the eyeball over conjunctiva (inner mucous membrane of the eye) It is accessed through [the device], and dissection (tissue separation) is performed along a plane with as few blood vessels as possible. Surgery flow by stage STEP 01 — Access through the conjunctiva (no outer skin incision) STEP 02 — Proceed with dissection on a flat plane with few blood vessels (minimize bleeding) STEP 03 — Remove orbital fat and insert it into the tear trough deformation area STEP 04 — Suturing soft tissue and fat to fix STEP 05 — Apply compression dressing (fix to re-adher to the detachment plane) ✅ There is almost no scar because there is no external incision. Because it is accessed through the conjunctiva, there are no visible scars or stitches on the outside after surgery. This is one of the biggest advantages of under-eye fat repositioning surgery. 3. Under-eye Fat Repositioning Cost — Criteria for a Reasonable Choice The cost of lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery varies significantly depending on the hospital, the surgeon's experience, the region, and whether additional procedures are performed. Non-covered items Since health insurance does not apply, a direct comparison is necessary. Criteria more important than cost A low cost does not necessarily mean it is a good choice, and conversely, an expensive place is not necessarily the best option. Please evaluate the hospital based on the criteria below. ✅ Hospitals that first diagnose tear trough deformation — A place that suggests the appropriate surgery rather than unconditionally recommending repositioning ✅ Check if the doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon Since this is a surgery involving orbital fat, the specialist's experience is important. ✅ Post-operative Care and After-Sales Service Policy — Check the response method in advance in case of side effects ⚠️ Do not make a decision based solely on event or discount prices — Surgery around the eyes should be performed with particular caution. 💡 Make sure to ask these things before the consultation Ask yourself, "Why is fat redistribution surgery suitable for me?" A hospital that explains clear evidence (such as the presence or absence of tear trough deformation) is a trustworthy place. 4. Under-eye fat repositioning recovery period — Is it suitable for office workers? Recovery from lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery is relatively fast compared to other facial surgeries. Since the approach is made through the conjunctiva without an external incision, surgery can be performed without large bruises or external wounds. Recovery phase Expected timing Condition and Precautions Compression dressing Immediately after surgery ~ within 1 week Tape application status for re-adhesion of the detached site Remove tape 3~4 days later Remove outer skin tape, no special treatment thereafter. Return to daily life 1~2 weeks later Work life, light outings possible Complete recovery About 1 month Fat lumps soften, exercise can be resumed If you are an office worker? If you are comfortable with the tape on your face, you can return to work within a few days after the surgery. Since there is no external incision, stitch removal is not necessary, and in most cases, large bruising or swelling is not severe. However, blood pressure may rise Refrain from strenuous exercise or drinking for about one month. It is recommended to do so. 📌 Please keep this in mind while recovering A light walk helps with blood circulation. Exercise, jogging, and lifting heavy objects can resume after one month. It is best to refrain from drinking and smoking, as they slow down recovery. 5. Side Effects of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning — What You Honestly Need to Know You must be fully aware of the side effects to reduce unnecessary anxiety and quickly recognize real danger signals. Temporary phenomenon — It will naturally improve over time. ✅ sunken eyes immediately after surgery — A normal process that occurs as originally protruding fat moves. It will return to a flat state over time. ✅ Fat fixation site lumps — A temporary phenomenon caused by suturing soft tissue and fat. It softens after about one month. ✅ Conjunctival edema and temporary vision loss — It occurs due to swelling caused by surgery and usually disappears naturally during the recovery process. ✅ Temporary diplopia (seeing double) — It can be caused by irritation of the muscles around the eyes and recovers over time. ⚠️ Side effects to watch out for — Contact a hospital immediately in these cases Retrobulbar Hematoma This is the most serious side effect of lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery. It is a situation where blood vessels within the orbital fat are irritated, causing bleeding, and this blood accumulates behind the eyeball, increasing intraocular pressure. Although the incidence is extremely low, if after surgery Sudden pain, decreased vision, sensation of bulging eyes If you feel this, you must contact the surgery hospital without delay, whether it is night or dawn. Prompt treatment is crucial for protecting eyesight. ❗ Sagging due to excessive fat removal — Occurs when excessive fat is removed in cases of low fat content. Correction may require additional procedures. ❗ When the causes of dark circles differ — If fat redistribution is performed when the cause is vascular or pigmented dark circles, it may be ineffective or result in an unnatural outcome. 💡 How to reduce concerns about side effects Accurate diagnosis before surgery (checking for tear trough deformation), selection of a skilled plastic surgeon, and adherence to post-operative instructions—these three factors significantly reduce the risk of side effects. 6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. What is the difference between lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery and fat removal surgery? The key difference lies in the presence or absence of tear trough deformation. If deformation is present, fat repositioning surgery—which involves extracting fat and filling the sunken area—is appropriate; however, if there is no deformation and the fat has simply protruded, the correct approach involves removing a portion of the fat and reinforcing the septum. Confusing these two surgeries can result in ineffective outcomes or unnatural results. Q. Does under-eye fat repositioning have permanent effects? If the surgery is performed successfully while the soft tissue is still elastic, the results can be maintained until the time when soft tissue elasticity decreases and lower eyelid surgery becomes necessary. However, since the results may vary with aging, it is difficult to consider it permanent. Q. Is it normal for the area under the eyes to look sunken after surgery? Yes, for the most part, this is a normal recovery process. As the originally protruding fat moves, that area temporarily appears sunken. In most cases, it flattens out over time, so you don't need to worry too much. However, if excessive fat has been removed, additional treatment may be required. Q. When can I start exercising after surgery? Light walks help with recovery. However, it is recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise (such as weight training, jogging, or swimming) that can raise blood pressure for about one month after surgery. Q. Is revision surgery possible? If you are considering revision surgery, I strongly recommend that you consult thoroughly with a skilled plastic surgeon. The method may vary depending on the tissue condition after the initial surgery. This content is intended for informational purposes only and is not a medical advertisement.

Many of you often hear that you look tired, or are concerned about the deep dark circles you see in the mirror, right? ‘Undereye fat repositioning’ and ‘lower eyelid surgery’ are said to solve undereye concerns. For those of you who are curious about the differences and the cost of the similar-sounding names, we've summarized the key points. 1. Why is under-eye fat surgery divided into two types? The surgical technique varies significantly depending on the condition under the eyes. The key question is whether to simply transfer fat or to also remove excess skin. Under-eye fat repositioning (recommended for younger people) Target: If the skin is elastic but the fat protrudes convexly. characteristic: Fat is evenly redistributed through the conjunctiva inside the eye without skin incision. Lower eyelid surgery (recommended for middle-aged and older people) Target: When skin and muscles become loose and fat sags due to aging. characteristic: An incision is made to remove excess skin, and muscle lifting is performed simultaneously. A comprehensive approach is necessary, as targeting only fat in cases of low elasticity can worsen fine wrinkles. 2. Will dark circles disappear with surgery? This is a point that many people misunderstand. The effectiveness of surgery varies depending on the cause of the dark circles. category cause Surgical effects shade type Shadows caused by protruding fat under the eyes Clear improvement possible Color type Skin discoloration due to rhinitis and blood circulation problems Surgical improvement is limited 💡 What is micro fat grafting? This method brightens the skin tone by placing a thin layer of fat under pigmented skin. However, caution is advised, as the skin tends to return to its original color over time, and adding a specific color of fat to match the skin tone can result in an unnatural appearance. 3. Why the estimated cost and price may differ The average cost of lower eyelid fat repositioning is From the late 1 million won to around 2 million won It is formed as follows. However, there are variables that may cause the price to fluctuate during consultation. Additional items: When including dural reinforcement, micro fat grafting, etc. Existing foreign substances: If previously inserted filler or foreign substances need to be removed. Whether or not to have a second surgery: If tissue adhesions are severe, the surgical difficulty increases and the cost increases. The pitfalls of advertising: The special prices on plastic surgery apps are likely based on 'simple fat removal', so you should check carefully. 4. Check for side effects and disappointing results in advance. Although serious side effects are rare, there may be subjective satisfaction or regrets due to minor differences. Low correction: If the surgery went well but the result was not 100% flat as expected (approximately 80% improvement). Bumpy: When fat grafting is performed concurrently, the grafted area may become clumped or unevenly grafted. In these cases, direct removal of the clumped fat may be necessary. relapse: If the elasticity of the orbital membrane that surrounds the fat decreases, the fat may protrude again over time. 📝 To summarize The key to solving under-eye concerns is Identifying the exact cause of my skin elasticity and dark circles no see. Rather than being tempted by the low cost, consult with a specialist to determine whether skin incisions or fat grafting are necessary.
