View more(Question) Are there possible side effects after orthodontic treatment?[3]
Hello, I finished my orthodontic treatment a few years ago. At the time, my teeth became much more aligned, and I was very satisfied. However, as time went by, I became worried that I might experience side effects later on. When I search online, I see mentions that teeth can shift back into place, gums may recede, or the tooth roots may be affected. I am curious to know the actual extent of this. I have also seen reviews stating that the jaw joint became uncomfortable or that the sensation of chewing changed due to a shift in the bite. I don't have any particular pain right now, but it worries me because sometimes my teeth feel weaker than before. Even though I wear my retainer consistently, could this cause problems later on? For those of you who finished your orthodontic treatment a long time ago, how is your current condition? Did you experience any side effects or discomfort years after the treatment, or is your result being maintained well without any major issues? I would be grateful if you could let me know if there are any specific areas I absolutely need to pay attention to when caring for my teeth after orthodontic treatment. I would appreciate any real-life experiences or advice you can share. Thank you.
메론잉26.06.19Views 74Likes 0 I was worried about side effects before getting orthodontic treatment at Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon.[16]
I decided to get orthodontic treatment before I get any older because I heard that it becomes difficult as you get older. However, I was worried because I heard that there are some side effects to orthodontic treatment. And, I visited Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, very worried about the potential for a lot of pain during the orthodontic treatment! I was very worried about the pain and side effects of orthodontic treatment, but I decided to visit after seeing reviews saying that the director of Guoldam Dental Hospital examines patients very thoroughly and provides kind consultations. First of all, there were a lot of people when I visited, so the waiting time was a bit long, but I really liked that the director checked everything thoroughly and explained exactly which direction the correction should take. Also, you explained the pain and side effects well, which really relieved my concerns. First of all, the director mentioned that there is some pain in the beginning of orthodontic treatment and a poking sensation, but he said that this poking sensation can be alleviated to some extent by applying orthodontic wax. I liked that they told me there wouldn't be any side effects as long as I visited every month during the orthodontic treatment and followed the instructions well. If you are worried about pain or side effects from orthodontic treatment like I was, I recommend visiting Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu for a consultation.
김대박26.06.11Views 121Likes 2 Review of resolving the black triangle side effect of orthodontics with resin[11]
You have probably heard of the Black Triangle at least once. I developed a black triangle, a black triangular gap between my gums and teeth, which is one of the side effects of orthodontic treatment. I didn't experience any side effects from the braces while I was undergoing treatment, but they appeared after it was finished, so it always bothered me. There are some things that are not aesthetically pleasing, but The biggest headache was that since there was a gap, that The problem is that food particles easily get stuck in the crevices, and tartar builds up quickly even after scaling. It was. So, after much consideration, I decided to fill it with resin. Actually, there are quite a few side effects from orthodontic treatment, more than you might think. You might develop what is commonly known as 'Blunt' like I did, and since the teeth are artificially tightened with wire, the teeth and gums may weaken. As the gums weaken, their length may also recede slightly. In rare cases, your face shape or lower face may change differently than you wanted. However, since the side effects of orthodontic treatment vary from person to person, these symptoms do not necessarily appear. In my case, I didn't experience any side effects from orthodontic treatment other than BLT. My black triangle was right in the center of my front teeth. It really is exactly a triangle shape. They said the gaps between the teeth were visible even on the X-ray... Since a gap formed between two teeth that are touching, the method involves filling only the void in the center by sealing the corners of both teeth with resin. are you. I received treatment at the dental clinic I usually go to. -After filling the gap with resin- The procedure finished quickly, and I checked it right away; it looked completely natural. Since it was resin, it didn't hurt at all and I didn't feel anything. I confirmed that it was filled in without any gaps, even when viewed from the inside. Precautions after resin procedure silver! On the day of the procedure, consume soft foods, and avoid hard or sticky foods for about 24 hours. You should avoid strongly colored foods and beverages such as curry, coffee, black tea, and wine immediately after the procedure, as they can cause discoloration. I also heard that I should use dental floss and interdental brushes carefully immediately after the procedure. Even if the treatment is successfully completed like this, continuous care is important. Opinions are divided on whether black triangles are a side effect of orthodontics or a natural phenomenon of the gums shifting, but in my case, since I never had them before, they appeared, so it was definitely caused by the braces. Actually, I have black triangles on my lower teeth as a side effect of orthodontics... In the photo, I pulled my lip down with my finger to show as much of my lower teeth as possible, but when the dentist looked at it, he said that the black triangle on my lower teeth was slightly covered by my lower lip, and I was told the gap was worse in the upper teeth than the lower ones, so I only had the upper teeth done for now. I am also a bit hesitant about the cost to treat all the lower teeth, so I plan to start with the upper teeth first, observe the progress after some time, and then consider the lower teeth. My lower teeth are slightly covered by my lips, but my upper teeth are in a very visible position, so the black triangle used to be clearly visible in photos, but now it isn't visible even in photos. Now that I compare them like this, I realize again how huge the gap is. The shape of the teeth was also well trimmed, and I am very satisfied. Filling the gap with resin definitely makes it less noticeable, and best of all, less food gets stuck and flossing has become easier, which I really liked! If you are experiencing orthodontic side effects like black triangles like I did, please don't stress too much about it, and I recommend looking into resin fillings.

My older child in the second year of middle school has a gap in their front teeth, and now that I've decided to get braces, I'm worried about potential side effects. I'm curious if applying strong force to bond the teeth in a short period of time puts too much strain on the gums. And I heard that gums can also recede; if the gums recede like this, what kind of treatment should be provided?

View more[Health Column] What are the criteria for choosing the right orthodontic treatment for me? Wire braces vs. Clear braces[5]
✨Hello! This is Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of SmileD Dental Clinic, where your dental health always comes first. 👋 Have you been secretly worried every time you look in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide on orthodontic treatment, you will find yourself at another crossroads when you actually try to start. This is the dilemma between traditional 'wire braces (bracket braces)' and 'clear braces (Invisalign)' that use transparent plastic! Today, I will summarize the key points in a very easy-to-understand way, covering everything from the distinct differences between the two treatments to how to make the wise choice that fits your situation perfectly. ✨ 1️⃣ How are teeth moved in orthodontics? The core principle of orthodontic treatment is to apply a constant force to the teeth 'continuously'. 📌 The secret to moving teeth, 'orthodontic appliances' A special structure is required to transmit precise force to the teeth in the desired direction, and this is precisely what we know as 'orthodontic appliances.' These appliances are broadly divided into two types. 🔸 Fixed method: This is a treatment method that involves firmly attaching a device to the surface of the tooth. 🔸 Attachable (Detachable) type: It is a method that uses a device that the patient can insert and remove themselves. 💁♀️ You were fascinated by how teeth move when you get braces, weren't you? Just like moving heavy furniture to a desired location by steadily pushing it little by little, The principle is that the device provides very precise and continuous stimulation to the tooth roots! 2️⃣ What are the differences between wire braces and clear braces? ✨ There are distinct differences in maintenance methods and how to wear the device depending on its features. 🦷 1. Wire braces (bracket braces) It is a traditional method of attaching devices called brackets to the teeth and securing them by connecting them with wires. ✔️ characteristic: The treatment is 'compulsory' because the patient cannot remove the device voluntarily. Since the device operates forcibly, it is advantageous for moving according to plan. ⚠️ caution: Maintaining oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth after meals, may be somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, due to the device's structure, it may irritate the soft tissues in the mouth, causing discomfort or pain in the initial stages. 💎 2. Clear braces (Invisalign) It is a method of moving teeth by replacing thin, transparent special plastic trays made to fit each individual. ✔️ characteristic: The device is aesthetically excellent as it is barely visible 🤫. Above all, it has the huge advantage of being overwhelmingly convenient for hygiene management because you can temporarily remove the device while eating. ✨ Latest Trends: Recently, medical technology has advanced dramatically, making it possible to sophisticatedly solve even much more diverse and complex cases compared to the past. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Aren't clear braces less effective than wire braces? A1. Those who remember the early models might think that way. However, recently, materials and technologies, such as attachments attached to teeth, have advanced dramatically. In fact, in cases such as 'deep bite' where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, clear aligners often lead to easier and more precise improvement. Ultimately, rather than the type of appliance The expertise of the attending specialist determines the outcome. do. Q2. Is there a significant cost difference between the two devices? A2. Due to the nature of the process requiring precise custom manufacturing, Invisalign (clear braces) is often priced higher than standard brackets (wire braces). However, even among wire braces, the device is attached hidden inside the teeth. Lingual correction If you choose ', the cost may actually be higher than clear braces. Therefore, rather than making a decision based solely on price, it is advisable to compare the pros and cons of each device with your lifestyle patterns. Q3. Who would you strongly recommend clear braces to? A3. For clear aligners, 'patient cooperation' is the absolute criterion that determines the success or failure of the treatment. Every day except when eating 'Self-directed' individuals who can strictly adhere to wearing times of 20 to 22 hours or more on their own I highly recommend it to you 👍. On the other hand, for those who are usually clumsy or find it troublesome and difficult to manage braces unless someone forcibly takes care of them, wire braces, which involve a mandatory nature, may actually be much safer and more advantageous. 🎯 Conclusion: Careful selection and consultation with a specialist come first. Straightening your teeth does not simply mean an external improvement that makes you look prettier. It is a very valuable health investment that reduces blind spots inside the oral cavity, makes oral hygiene easy to manage, and protects gum health for a long time. 💡 One more hidden advantage! During orthodontic treatment, you naturally avoid hard or chewy foods. As this process, the masticatory muscles (masseter muscles) gently contract, allowing you to expect the added benefit of a slimmer and improved facial contour. ⚠️ Above all, the most important thing is an accurate diagnosis that matches my actual oral condition and skeletal structure.

Hello, I am the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. Lee Hyun-seop It is! 👋 "Director, isn't it too late for me to get braces right now? 😢" Interestingly, not only patients in their 20s and 30s but even those in their 50s ask this question exactly the same way. Conversely, parents with young children often worry, asking, "My child is still in elementary school, should they get orthodontic counseling already? 🤔" To start with the conclusion, There is no absolute deadline for orthodontic treatment age! 🙅♂️ It is just that the purpose of starting orthodontic treatment and the direction of treatment differ depending on the age group. Today, based on the most frequently asked questions in actual medical and consultation rooms, Stories of Orthodontics by Age Group I will explain it to you easily and in detail. 👇 1️⃣ Parents of elementary school children! Do you need to get an orthodontic consultation already? 👦👧 🦷 Even if your baby teeth are still falling out Be sure to check the status of jaw growth around the age of 6 to 8. Give it a try! Many parents are often surprised, saying, "You're saying you're getting braces already when your child's permanent teeth haven't even all come in yet? 😮". However, visiting the dentist at this time is not to get braces attached immediately. This is to determine whether your child currently requires correction and when the optimal time for treatment is. ✨ 📌 Growth management can be particularly important if the following symptoms are observed: 🔸 When a tendency toward an underbite or receding chin is observed 🔸 When the mouth is severely protruding or there is an open bite where the upper and lower teeth do not meet 🔸 When there is an underbite where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth 💡 A word of advice from the director! We strongly recommend visiting a dentist around the age of 6 to 8 to check the alignment of your teeth and the growth status of your jaw in advance. 2️⃣ Is the teenage growth period the most ideal time for orthodontic treatment? 🦷 🦷 Can control jawbone growth and The most efficient time due to rapid tooth movement no see! If I had to choose just one age for orthodontic treatment, most orthodontists would recommend the growth period. teenagers It talks about. 🧒👧 Since jawbone growth is still ongoing during this period, it is not only about simply aligning the teeth evenly Correctly controlling even the direction of jaw growth There is a huge advantage in being able to do it. Furthermore, the speed of tooth movement is relatively faster compared to adults. In fact, if orthodontic treatment is started during middle or high school, the range of treatment available is much wider than for adults. ⚠️ Parents occasionally ask, "Should I postpone braces due to academic stress or studying? 📝". If possible, do not delay it too much... It is good to receive benefits during the growth period. I tend to say that. 3️⃣ What is the most common reason patients in their 20s visit the dental orthodontics consultation room? 👱♀️👱♂️ 🦷 Interest in appearance is increasing, and people decide on treatment themselves. This is because it is the time for economic independence! The age group that most actively seeks orthodontic consultations at actual dental clinics is by far the 20s It is. 🎓 This is because many people decide on their own after becoming financially independent as they start their careers or college lives. It is also a time when interest in one's appearance increases significantly, especially when facing important events such as job hunting or marriage. ✔️ As a result, the device is not easily visible to others Ceramic braces, clear braces , or quickly proceed only with the necessary parts Partial correction Consultations primarily focus on aesthetics. 4️⃣ I'm in my 30s, can I start? It's never too late! 💼 🦷 If your teeth are gradually becoming misaligned or you feel tooth wear Now is the time to start orthodontic treatment. There is a regret that patients in their 30s most frequently express in the consultation room. It is the sentiment, "Ah... I should have just done it when I was in my 20s ㅠㅠ." 🥲 Many people visit our clinic after personally experiencing their teeth becoming increasingly misaligned as they age, having kept putting it off due to busy work lives. People in their 30s usually visit with these kinds of concerns: 🔸 When the front teeth start to spread apart little by little 🔸 When food keeps getting stuck due to extra teeth 🔸 When tooth wear occurs or the chewing sensation is abnormal 💡 A word of advice from the director! There is absolutely no need to worry that the corrective effect will be diminished just because you are in your 30s! On the contrary, since you clearly recognize the necessity of the treatment and are diligently following the doctor's instructions, Age group with excellent treatment cooperation That's what they say. 👍 5️⃣ Did you know that orthodontic treatment in people in their 40s is much more common than you might think? 🏢 🦷 Not only changes in appearance 'Functional purpose' to protect dental health This gets bigger. From their 40s onwards, the reasons for deciding to get braces differ slightly from previous generations. Of course, becoming prettier is good, but, I want to use my teeth for a long time The functional reasons become much more significant. 🩺 ⚠️ As you age, your gums may gradually recede or your teeth may spread apart, causing discomfort when chewing food, and you may even experience symptoms such as loose teeth. If If you have periodontal disease (gum disease) First, you can restore your dental health by thoroughly treating your periodontal tissues and then combining this with orthodontic treatment. 6️⃣ Is orthodontic treatment really possible for people in their 50s and 60s? 👵👴 🦷 The important thing is not age 'Condition of the Gum Bone'! It is Fully Possible Even for Those in Their 60s do. Many people say, "Doctor, why would I need braces at this age?" but in the actual consultation room, it is very easy to find patients in their 50s and 60s. 😮 What is truly important in orthodontics is not your age on your resident registration, but the one supporting your teeth Condition of the gum bone (alveolar bone) no see. ❌ Even if you are in your 20s, if your gum condition is terrible, orthodontics is difficult, and Conversely, even for seniors in their 60s, it is entirely safe as long as their gum bone is in good condition and healthy. Recently, for the care of aging teeth Orthodontics to create space before implant placement, orthodontics prior to bridge prosthetics Treatment is being actively carried out for purposes such as , or partial correction of the front teeth. ✨ 7️⃣ The era of braces for those over 70! What is more important than age? 💯 🦷 It seems like it is possible up to a certain age. Is this treatment absolutely necessary for my current condition? We need to consider this. While it was hard to imagine in the past, now that we have entered the era of centenarians, even seniors in their 70s and older are visiting dental clinics for orthodontic consultations. ☀️ The main goal for this age group is not beauty.

If I get braces at an older age, will my gums become weaker or my teeth become sensitive? A1. During orthodontic treatment, you may temporarily feel slight sensitivity or looseness as your teeth move. However, if you carefully diagnose the condition of your gums and adjust the force gradually without straining yourself, it can actually correct crooked teeth and improve brushing effectiveness, so in the long run, Prevent gum disease and preserve healthier teeth You can do it. 🦷 Q2. Does adult orthodontics take much longer than orthodontics during the growth period? A2. Since adults have a slightly slower rate of bone metabolism compared to growing children, tooth movement may take a little longer. However, because adult patients follow the dentist's instructions very strictly, such as appliance management and wearing rubber bands, ( Excellent cooperation ), the actual total treatment period often does not differ significantly when compared to children in their growth stage. ✨ 🎯 Conclusion: Don't put it off because of age concerns! 📌 There is no set age limit for orthodontic treatment, and optimal treatment methods exist for each age group from the teens to the 70s. 📌 Management Points: Regardless of age, the key to successful correction is...

이현섭 원장26.06.16Views 137Likes 3 [Health Column] Is it too late to start orthodontic treatment now? A prosthodontist answers![4]
Hello, this is Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic. Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook It is. ✨ 🤔 "Will it be effective to start at this age?" Have you ever worried about this at least once, when someone around you starts orthodontic treatment, or when you are bothered by crooked teeth in the mirror? To start with the conclusion, regarding orthodontics There is absolutely no such thing as 'too late'! We will clearly highlight the key points regarding the distinct advantages and unique characteristics of adult correctional care, which are distinct from adolescent correctional care. Shall we begin the journey to find a confident smile right now? 💕 1️⃣ What is the difference between adolescent correction and adult correction? 👋 The biggest difference is right Presence or absence of growth It is located at. During adolescence, bones are soft and growth plates are open, making skeletal corrections such as prognathism or retrognathism possible. On the other hand, since growth has ended in adults, it is difficult to change the position of the skeleton, but the teeth and angles within the hard bone It can be corrected very precisely and without error. . 🎯 Even though it may look like similarly crooked teeth on the outside, adults need a customized movement plan that is perfectly tailored to their current skeletal condition. Just because your bones are strong doesn't mean correction isn't possible, so I recommend getting a precise diagnosis tailored to your skeletal structure first! ✔️ 2️⃣ Is adult orthodontics more painful and much slower? 👋 Slow down a little, but Healthier and more stable Moving! It is true that adults have higher bone density, so their cellular metabolism is slightly slower than that of adolescents. commonly 24~30 months It takes about that long, so it can be several months longer than for adolescents. ⏳ You may experience a dull ache for the first 2 to 3 days, but this is as your teeth find their proper positions Healthy Signs So you can rest assured! You may feel a heavy pain on the first night you wear the device, but you will surprisingly adapt within a few days. If you are very worried about pain and the duration, 'self-ligating braces,' which reduce pain by minimizing friction, or 'clear braces,' which offer a clean appearance, can be good alternatives. 💡 3️⃣ Are there any advantages to being an adult? 👋 Overwhelming cooperation and Thorough self-management is the best weapon. Adult orthodontics has 3 powerful advantages (TOP 3) unique to adults! 💎 🔸 1. Overwhelming cooperation with treatment 🤝 Unlike adolescents who are led by their parents, adults begin this process of their own strong will, so please strictly follow the doctor's instructions and precautions. This directly leads to the completeness of the treatment results. 🔸 2. Thorough Oral Hygiene Management 🪥 Because they meticulously use toothbrushes, interdental brushes, and dental floss on their own, the risk of cavities or gum disease that may occur during orthodontic treatment is significantly lower compared to adolescents. 🔸 3. Precise predictability without variables 📐 Since growth has already stopped, there is no unexpected variable called skeletal change. You can establish an error-free treatment plan by predicting future changes in facial shape or dental alignment with greater precision. The advantages of being an adult are maximized, especially in 'clear braces,' where self-care is essential. ✨ 💬 Ask Me Anything! (FAQ) Q1. Is it true that getting braces at an older age causes holes (black triangles) to form between the gums? It’s not that a new gum disease is developing; it’s just a phenomenon where the overlapping teeth straighten out, revealing the previously empty spaces! 😮 This can be sufficiently aesthetically corrected with procedures such as 'interdental reduction' or 'resin treatment,' so you do not need to worry too much. On the contrary, in the long run, it corrects the alignment of the teeth, which is of great help in preventing gum disease. Q2. Is 'extraction orthodontics,' which involves pulling out healthy teeth, absolutely necessary for adult orthodontics? Absolutely not! Whether or not to extract a tooth is determined not by the patient's age, but by the availability of space for the tooth to move and the degree of protrusion of the mouth. Recently, with the advancement of digital equipment, there has been a significant increase in cases where the dental arch is expanded or the teeth are pushed back to proceed without extraction. 🦷 Q3. I had braces when I was young, but they have become misaligned again as I have gotten older. Is it possible to have them re-corrected? Yes, of course it is possible! There are many adult patients who can restore their teeth to a straight alignment in a short period of time through partial orthodontics or clear aligners, especially in cases where crowded teeth have grown in again or teeth have gradually shifted due to neglecting retainer care. 😊 🎯 Conclusion: An investment in your youngest days for future oral health If crooked teeth are left untreated, food gets trapped between them, causing cavities and periodontitis (gum disease). Adult orthodontics goes beyond simple cosmetic purposes, The most reliable preventive treatment to protect your teeth and gums for a lifetime no see. ⚠️ Rather than wasting time hesitating thinking it's 'too late,' first have an experienced and trustworthy Prosthodontics specialist Find us and start with accurate digital precision diagnosis and consultation!

정재욱 원장26.06.08Views 119Likes 2 [Health Column] Orthodontic Extraction vs. Non-Extraction: Is Extraction Always Necessary? A Summary of Criteria, Pros, and Cons[3]
hello, Director Jo Byeong-ju of Shine Orthodontics no see. 👋 There are certain questions that people considering orthodontic treatment ask most frequently in the consultation room. These are inquiries mixed with concern, such as, "Do I really have to have teeth extracted?" and "Can a protruding mouth be corrected with non-extraction orthodontics?" There is a lot of information on the internet claiming that non-extraction is always better or that extraction drastically changes one's face, which further confuses patients. However, actual orthodontic treatment is not determined solely by whether or not to extract a tooth, Comprehensive diagnosis of tooth alignment, facial shape, degree of space shortage, etc. You must do it. In this column, I will explain the true differences between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics and provide clear selection criteria in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope this helps you find the right treatment direction for you! ✨ 1️⃣ What is the most important key point regarding tooth extraction versus non-extraction in orthodontic treatment? 📐 The essence that determines the success or failure of orthodontic treatment lies in 'securing space' to move the teeth. For both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics, the key to the treatment outcome is how much space can be secured to properly align the teeth. This is because only when adequate space is secured in our mouth can we use it to push a protruding mouth inward and straighten crookedly overlapping extra teeth. Generally, when performing extraction orthodontics Premolars (small molars) with a width of about 7 to 8 mm You will gain that much extra space by extracting the tooth. On the other hand, with the recent development of various orthodontic devices non-extraction By utilizing every possible means to the fullest extent through orthodontics, it has become possible to create space comparable to that of tooth extraction. Representative techniques for creating space without tooth extraction include Arch expansion (3~4mm) , Interdental reduction/IPR (3~4mm) , Posterior movement of molars (3~4mm) There are methods available, and by combining all of them, it is possible to secure about 9mm of usable space. < Case of Posterior Molar Movement > 📍 Example: If the space for tooth alignment is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding or a situation where a protruding mouth needs to be moved back significantly, securing space through premolar extraction can be a clear solution. However, if conditions allow for the precise application of non-extraction techniques, meaningful space can be achieved without extracting teeth. 📌 "Rather than relying solely on extreme online reviews and insisting on a specific method, it is essential to first undergo a precise dental diagnosis to determine the actual amount of space missing." 2️⃣ Can non-extraction space creation methods be applied equally to all patients? 📐 The three techniques for creating space without tooth extraction must be applied strictly and selectively based on the patient's oral and jawbone structure. The three methods for creating space for tooth movement through non-extraction orthodontics are excellent alternatives, but unfortunately, they cannot be unconditionally applied to all patients. This is because each patient has different anatomical characteristics. ① Expansion of the dental arch : This method is actually Limited use only for patients with a narrow jaw width You must do it. If this procedure is performed excessively on a patient with a normal jaw width solely for the purpose of widening the space, the overall occlusion may collapse or long-term stability after treatment may be significantly compromised. ② Interdental Reduction (IPR) : The side of the tooth Finely trim by 0.2~0.5mm It is a method of gathering the entire gap space. Generally, if the procedure is performed within 0.5mm per area, there are no problems with dental health, and it is advantageous to distribute the work evenly across multiple tooth surfaces rather than grinding down a large portion of a single tooth. If performed to the maximum extent on all areas, approximately 3mm of space can be obtained per side. ③ Posterior movement of molars This is a technique that creates space in the front by pushing the entire dentition backward. The most important thing here is Does there actually exist space within the bone for the molars to move backward? no see. In particular, a precise 3D diagnosis must be performed beforehand to determine if there is available space in the posterior area of the mandible (lower jaw). 📍 Example: If posterior movement is forcibly attempted on a patient who has absolutely no space to push the molars back due to structural limitations of the lower jawbone, the teeth may not move properly or side effects may occur. 📌 It is essential to receive a precise diagnosis from an orthodontist to determine whether arch expansion is necessary, or if the tooth structure allows for the safe application of interproximal reduction or posterior movement. 3️⃣ If you are on the borderline between extraction and non-extraction, what criteria should you use to make a decision? 📐 For borderline patients with a space shortage of 4 to 7 mm, the decision is made by comprehensively considering tooth shape, caries activity, type of appliance, and the patient's pain sensitivity. Based on the results of a precise examination, if the required space is significantly lacking by more than 9mm on each side, extraction is easily determined, while if it is slightly lacking by 4mm or less, non-extraction is recommended. The problem lies with 'borderline patients' who have a space deficiency of 4 to 7 mm. In this case, since both methods are possible, you must use the following five detailed criteria as a guide. ① Shape of the teeth: If the shape is close to a triangle, non-extraction treatment is much more advantageous. do. This is because it is shaped to fully utilize Interproximal Reduction (IPR), and the reduction can naturally reduce the 'black triangle,' the empty space between teeth. ② Number of prosthetics and dental caries (cavity) activity: If you have a lot of dental prosthetics in your mouth or an environment where cavities form easily, extraction orthodontics is actually better. This is because it is difficult to adequately perform interdental reduction, which involves finely grinding the sides of the teeth, in such an oral condition. ③ Type of calibration device used: Invisalign achieves arch expansion much faster, but traditional brackets (wire devices) perform molar posterior movement better. do. Therefore, even for patients who appeared capable of non-extraction posterior movement based on brackets, insisting on using Invisalign may actually lead to a situation where extraction becomes necessary. ④ Anatomical spatial limits: Regardless of whether wisdom teeth are extracted, it is necessary to determine how much bone space remains behind the molars that can actually be moved, and whether the jawbone is capable of accommodating arch expansion. If both non-extraction pathways are structurally blocked, it is advisable to choose extraction for a clean result. ⑤ Discomfort and pain felt by the patient: This is a point that many people misunderstand, In fact, the tooth extraction treatment itself is almost painless. In fact, arch expansion devices or posterior movement devices used in non-extraction orthodontics often cause greater discomfort and pain in the mouth. Therefore, if you prefer a slightly more comfortable and less cumbersome process during the orthodontic treatment period, we recommend tooth extraction. 📍 Example: If a borderline patient with square-shaped teeth and significant traces of cavity treatment finds it difficult to tolerate the pain and foreign body sensation of complex non-extraction devices, choosing to extract premolars rather than forcing a non-extraction procedure may be advantageous in terms of both the treatment process and the outcome. 📌 "When you are teetering on the edge, that is precisely when in-depth communication with medical staff truly shines. Please share your lifestyle and pain tendencies with the medical team in detail." 🔍 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Doesn't interproximal reduction (IPR) cause significant tooth sensitivity during non-extraction orthodontics? A1. No, you don't need to worry too much. 🙅♂️ Common tooth sensitivity usually occurs when the neck of the tooth (cervical area) is worn down. During interdental reduction, the area that is ground down very finely is the outermost 'proximal enamel' region of the tooth, where sensory nerves are not distributed. Since the amount removed is also very minimal, you do not need to worry about side effects such as sensitivity. However, if not performed precisely, food particles can get trapped between the teeth, creating an environment where cavities (dental caries) are likely to develop, so the procedure must be performed accurately by a skilled specialist. Q2. After having wisdom teeth extracted, will space naturally form to push the molars back? A2. It is half right and half wrong. 💡 When extracting a wisdom tooth that has erupted straight into the mouth, available space is created to push the molars backward by utilizing that opening. However, for impacted wisdom teeth that are completely buried in the gum bone, simply extracting them does not automatically create space for the tooth to move. In this case, the limit of the practically usable posterior space is determined by the anatomical boundary between the soft tissue and bone behind the tooth, rather than the presence or absence of wisdom teeth. 📋 Conclusion Today, we have taken a detailed look at the key criteria for tooth extraction versus non-extraction, which is the biggest concern for those facing orthodontic treatment. Having operated an orthodontic clinic in Nowon for a long time and personally treated countless cases, there are certainly tricky cases where even I, as an expert, agonize deeply over which approach—extraction or non-extraction—will bring the most perfect results to the patient. This is because orthodontic treatment is a precise medical field that must encompass not only visible gaps between teeth but also the condition of the gums, the overall treatment duration, changes in facial shape, and even the anatomical limitations imposed by the appliance. ⚠️ Please make sure to remember this! 📌 Rather than blindly deciding on a treatment method based solely on rumors such as "non-extraction is better" or "extraction is faster," the first step is to thoroughly examine your precise diagnostic condition. 📌 The wise choice at the borderline may vary depending on the shape of your teeth (whether they are triangular), the activity of cavities, and your sensitivity to pain. Above all, the most important key to success is to accurately align your desired aesthetic and functional goals through constant communication with medical professionals, and for the doctor and patient to move forward step by step while looking toward the same goal. As this is a significant journey that determines your smile and dental health for a lifetime, I sincerely hope you find a trustworthy orthodontist to discover the right solution that fits your oral structure perfectly. 🦷 Shine Orthodontics Director Cho Byeong-ju Graduated from Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry / Doctor of Dental Surgery Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Department of Orthodontics Intern / Resident Graduated from Catholic University of Korea Graduate School of Medicine with a minor in Plastic Surgery / Master of Medicine Visiting Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Visiting Professor at CHA University Gangnam Hospital Invisalign Official Faculty Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists (KAO) Member of the Korean Society of Clinical Orthodontists (KSO) 2019/2020/2021/2022 Awarded the Excellent Case Presentation by the Korean Association of Orthodontists

hello! Dr. Han Kyu-nam, Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic It is. ✨ Skin sagging naturally comes with aging—it’s upsetting every time you look in the mirror, isn't it, to just brush it off by saying, "Everyone does it"? 🥲 To ensure safe plastic surgery procedures and surgeries, today we have prepared the first session on 'Creating a Proper Plastic Surgery Culture,' which is essential from the perspective of consumers and customers! I am going to explain the lifting procedures that so many of you are curious about in great detail and with honesty. 👇 1️⃣ What is non-surgical lifting (EBD/thread lifting) and what are its characteristics? ✨ Everything about non-surgical lifting that simply tightens sagging tissue without a scalpel! 🔸 Energy-based device (EBD) lifting If facial sagging is not severe, devices such as radio frequency (Thermage) or ultrasound (Ulthera) are primarily used. 🔥 Just like meat shrinks when grilled, this method induces tightening by applying heat around the SMAS layer deep within the skin using different principles! Recently, a wide variety of equipment has been developed, including devices utilizing microwaves similar in principle to microwave ovens; these are collectively referred to as EBDs (Energy Based Devices). Depending on the device, the cost can be as high as surgery, making it less cost-effective, so you should be cautious. However, there is a definite advantage in that the recovery period is short, allowing you to manage the procedure discreetly while going about your daily life. 🔸 Thread Lifting It is a representative procedure with a low barrier to entry, in addition to EBD. It is a method that involves inserting threads of various shapes and materials into the skin and physically pulling them up. They are broadly divided into dissolvable and non-dissolvable threads. • Non-dissolving threads: They last a little longer, but the difference isn't huge. Above all, the psychological burden of knowing they remain in the body for a lifetime is significant. • Dissolvable threads (PDO): Currently the most commonly used material, it takes about 6 to 8 months to break down in the body. 📌 It has excellent biocompatibility, so you can rest assured that it rarely causes problems or inflammation on its own inside the body. "In that case, are there absolutely no side effects with non-surgical lifting?" ⚠️ Just because there is no incision does not mean the risk of side effects is 0%! • Cases of EBD side effects: You may have occasionally seen unfortunate news articles about patients suffering facial burns after undergoing the procedure under general anesthesia. Additionally, cases frequently occur where patients complain that their face looks more saggy because they have lost weight after the procedure, as the fat layer surrounding the targeted SMAS is affected. • Examples of thread lifting side effects: Since sagging tissue is only moved upward without being cut away, the lower skin may accumulate near the cheekbones, temporarily making the face appear wider. If the threads are too close to the skin, they may cause skin indentations (ding-up) or adhesions. 2️⃣ What is the principle behind incisional lifting (facelift/mini-facelift), and what are the precautions? ✨ The truth about incisional lifting and mini-lifting that effectively cut away sagging skin and pull it up! 🔸 Representative surgery, facelift It is literally a surgery where the skin is directly incised, pulled up, the excess flesh is completely cut away, and then sutured. Typically, a long incision is used that starts at the hairline near the temple, wraps around the front and back of the ear, and connects. There are exactly two key keywords for a facelift! ① SMAS layer: A major structure located inside the skin that must be pulled ② Retaining ligament: An obstruction that must be severed because it hinders tissue movement In other words, the principle is to completely loosen the retaining ligaments that hinder facial movement and then strongly pull the SMAS layer to move the sagging skin back to its original youthful position. With the recent advancement of plastic surgery anatomy, various surgical methods have emerged. Currently, the mainstream trend in facelift surgery is the 'Deep Plane Facelift,' which has many advantages as it significantly reduces the scope of subcutaneous dissection. 🔸 The Truth Behind Confusing Mini-Lifts (Mini-Facelifts) It is popular due to the perception that "an incision is made, but simply," but in reality, it is the area that patients find most confusing because there is no precise medical definition or consensus. • General method: A small incision is usually made inside the temple hairline, and the skin beneath is narrowly dissected (subcutaneous dissection). • ⚠️ Honest Comparison of Effects: While the effects may last slightly longer than thread lifting, they fall far short of the results of a traditional facelift. This is because mini-lifts generally cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only partially release the retaining ligaments. • ✔️ Important Checkpoint: Even if different hospitals use the same name, 'Mini Lifting,' the location of the incision and the extent of dissection vary completely. Generally, the longer the incision and the wider the dissection area, the more certain the results can be expected, so you must confirm the dissection area during the consultation. ❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Why do so many people say they lost facial fat after receiving an energy-based device (EBD) lift? A1. A layer of fat is located around the SMAS layer, which is targeted by high-frequency or ultrasound energy. If this fatty area is affected by the energy during the procedure, its volume decreases, which may make it appear visually slimmer or more saggy. Q2. Can my cheekbones look bigger after a thread lift? A2. Yes, this is a phenomenon that can certainly occur. Thread lifting is a procedure that pulls and moves excess skin or soft tissue upward, rather than cutting it away. Therefore, if the volume that was sagging downwards is pushed toward the cheekbones, the face may momentarily appear wider. Q3. Is there a significant difference in effectiveness between a mini-lift and a facelift? A3. Yes, there is a significant difference. Mini-lifting involves a small incision and a narrow dissection range, so it cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only release a portion of the retaining ligaments. On the other hand, a full facelift utilizes extensive dissection to thoroughly release the retaining ligaments and fundamentally tighten the SMAS layer, resulting in a different depth of effect. 🎯 Conclusion Lifting is broadly divided into EBD lifting using equipment, thread lifting using threads, and incision lifting (facelift and mini-facelift) which involves cutting and removing the skin. Even non-incisional procedures can result in side effects such as burns, sunken cheeks, or enlarged cheekbones, and the scope of mini-lifting varies widely from hospital to hospital. Every patient has a different facial structure, and soft tissue conditions, such as the skin and SMAS layer, vary completely. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to blindly insist on a specific surgery simply because you heard, "This surgical method is the trend these days." Please be sure to find the best method for your face through an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience. 🩺 Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Han Gyu-nam Graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine Master's degree from Seoul National University College of Medicine Plastic Surgery Resident at Seoul National University Hospital Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Association of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Anti-aging Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Breast Reconstruction Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Botox, Filler, and Thread Research Group Subcommittee Member of the Future Committee of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons MINT global key doctor Elasticum Advisory Board MENTOR Young Leader 17 years of experience in lifting procedures Possesses numerous cases in the field of incisional lifting Current Chief Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic

hello! Director Kim Jae-hee of Cody Plastic Surgery no see. Recently, as daytime temperatures have exceeded 30 degrees, the number of people visiting with skin concerns has increased significantly. ☀️ Sweat is flowing, but ironically, the inside of the skin is drying out dry skin Are you worried about your symptoms? 💦 Today, the relief pitcher to restore your skin condition ruined by the summer, ' Rejuran I will summarize the key benefits of ' for you! 📌 1️⃣ Why does moisture evaporate from the skin faster only in the summer? 💡 This is because hot ultraviolet rays and air conditioning drafts in the summer break down the skin's natural moisture barrier. 🔹 Shiny on the outside, crisp on the inside! Intense ultraviolet rays in the summer and strong indoor air conditioning drafts are our skin's The main culprit that destroys the natural moisture barrier no see. ⚠️ On the surface, your skin may appear shiny due to oiliness, but in reality, moisture is evaporating from deep within, weakening your skin barrier. 😭 🔹 Signs of aging that deepen if left untreated If you leave it untreated without taking appropriate measures, the skin will lose its elasticity in an instant. 📉 Not only does the skin become rough and dry, In severe cases, even fine wrinkles can deepen. Special caution is required. 📌 2️⃣ From hydration to barrier care, why do you need 'Rejuran'? 💡 It builds the fundamental strength and basic resilience of the skin to retain moisture on its own. 🔹 Limitations of topical moisturizing creams When the skin is dry deep inside, simply applying moisturizing cream to the surface does not provide a fundamental solution. 🙅♂️ This is because you need to build the 'fundamental strength' that allows the skin to firmly lock in and retain moisture on its own. In such cases, Rejuran can be an excellent choice. 👍 🔹 The 3 Key Effective Effects of Rejuran 🔸 1. 'Moisture Recharge' rising from deep within the skin The key ingredient of Rejuran PN (Polynucleotide) It improves the environment of the skin's dermis layer. 🧪 By directly replenishing the components of skin tissue, it maintains hydration for a long time, as if creating a moist reservoir within the skin. ✔️ 🔸 2. 'Improves texture' for dull and dry skin When moisture is replenished from the dermis layer, the skin tone naturally becomes clearer. ✨ Even skin that is usually dry and rough, causing makeup to look uneven and not adhere well, becomes smooth and radiant once nutrition and moisture are delivered through Rejuran. Inner light You can experience the skin. 😍 🔸 3. Damaged 'Skin Barrier Care' It firmly strengthens the skin barrier, which has become significantly more sensitive due to irritation from summer UV rays. 💪 A healthy skin barrier protects itself from external stimuli and acts as a sturdy shield preventing moisture evaporation, building up the skin's fundamental resilience. 🛡️ 💬 FAQ Q1. Is the Rejuran procedure very painful? 😰 A1. Although it varies from person to person, you may feel some pain as this method involves directly injecting medication into the dermis layer of the skin. ⚠️ However, we conduct a thorough anesthesia process prior to the procedure, and if you are significantly concerned about pain, we can adjust the procedure using sedation or pain relief equipment to ensure maximum comfort. 👍 Q2. How long do the effects of Rejuran last? A2. The effects appear gradually over approximately 2 to 4 weeks as the internal skin environment improves, rather than immediately after the procedure. 🌱 Generally, if you receive the treatment consistently at least 3 times, your skin health improves, and the effects last for about 6 months to 1 year. However, since results may vary depending on individual skin type and regeneration speed, regular care is important. Q3. Can Rejuran alone solve all skin concerns? 🤔 A3. Rejuran is excellent for strengthening the skin barrier, improving internal dryness, and boosting overall skin condition. 💯 However, in cases of deep wrinkles or severe sagging, or depending on the goal such as skin tone improvement, excellent synergistic effects can be expected by combining it with lifting procedures like Ulthera or Thermage, or pigmentation treatments. We recommend consulting with an expert to find the customized combination best suited to your skin condition. 🤝 conclusion Rather than blindly choosing a large quantity, you must find the optimal solution needed for your skin condition. Rejuran is not a temporary procedure that simply layers nutrients onto the skin's surface. 🙅♀️ It is a procedure that boosts regenerative power from deep within the skin to restore its natural healthy balance. ✨ The key technology for creating a natural 'inner glow' is precisely adjusting the injection depth and amount of medication according to the individual's skin thickness, degree of internal dryness, and areas of concern (around the eyes and mouth, overall dullness, etc.). This is because building the skin's fundamental resilience to gradually become firm and clear is a more important result than temporary changes immediately after the procedure. 🔹 Since it is difficult to expect the same results for everyone, you should thoroughly assess your condition first rather than deciding on a procedure blindly. ⚠️ To achieve healthy and clear skin, accurately assess your current skin condition, We hope you consult thoroughly with a specialist with extensive clinical experience to determine the customized program that is perfect for you! 🩺 Cody Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kim Jae-hee [ personal history ] Bundang Jesaeng Hospital Visiting Professor Bundang Jesaeng Hospital plastic surgeon hyeon Cody Plastic Surgery Clinic ledger [ Conferences and Papers ] Lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Korean Society of Oculoplastic Surgery Regular member Korean Society of Microsurgery Regular member International Society of Plastic Surgeons (IPRAS) Regular member USA UPMS Plastic surgery training [ etc ] Yvoire Master's hand doctor Q-O-Phil Key doctor ledger \

hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. As people enter their 40s, many worry about particularly puffy under-eyes or deepened dark circles whenever they look in the mirror. Because of this, "Since I'm in my 40s, unconditionally" Lower eyelid surgery Sometimes, worry comes first, wondering, "Should I do this?" However, the important thing is not simply age, but my current under-eyes Skin sagging and fat condition no see. I will easily pinpoint the key points to help you find the perfect under-eye surgery method for you! 1️⃣ 40s Under-eye fat repositioning What kind of effects can we expect? 🟢 It evenly redistributes protruding fat to transform the appearance into a smooth and vibrant look. 🔹 Improvement of under-eye bulges: It evenly redistributes protruding under-eye fat to naturally smooth out the uneven under-eye line. 🔹 Dark Circle Relief: You can expect the effect of alleviating dark circles because filling in the sunken areas of the tear trough reduces shadows. 🔹 Young-looking impression: If the area under your eyes becomes smooth, a tired and aged appearance can be transformed into a much brighter and more vibrant look. 🔹 Natural change: Since this method redistributes fat rather than completely removing it, it tends to be less likely to appear excessively sunken or artificial. 🔹 Relatively long duration: Although there are individual differences and variations depending on the rate of aging, the effects last for a relatively long time because it is a surgery that changes the location of fat. 💡 This surgery has a high satisfaction rate among people in their 40s who want a naturally brighter appearance without an artificial feel. 2️⃣ Things you must know before surgery side effect What are the five things? 🟢 Temporary swelling or conjunctival edema may occur, Skin sagging If this is severe, there are limits to improvement. ⚠️ Temporary swelling and bruising: This is the most common symptom after surgery. In most cases, it improves within 1 to 2 weeks, but individual differences exist. ⚠️ Left-right asymmetry: Temporary asymmetry may occur during the recovery process, and in rare cases, additional correction may be required. ⚠️ Overcorrection or undercorrection: If the amount of fat moved is too much or too little, the area under the eyes may appear sunken, or the protruding parts may remain as they are. ⚠️ Conjunctival edema: Temporary swelling of the conjunctiva inside the eye may occur, but in most cases, it recovers naturally. ⚠️ Limitations of skin sagging improvement: After the age of 40, not only regional issues Skin sagging It often proceeds together. If the skin sagging is too severe Under-eye fat repositioning It is difficult to obtain satisfactory results with only that. Lower eyelid surgery This may be necessary. 3️⃣ If you are in your 40s, definitely Lower eyelid surgery Do I need to receive it? 🟢 Regardless of age today Degree of skin sagging The appropriate surgical method varies depending on the condition.

After the surgery, you may experience some stiffness or a foreign body sensation, but in most cases, it is mild enough to allow you to immediately resume your daily activities. ✨ Recovery period: Swelling and bruising usually last for about 1 to 2 weeks before improving. You can see a natural appearance after about 1 month, and the final results will be seen between 2 and 3 months after surgery. 🎯 Recommended for: If the fat under the eyes is bulging or uneven, if dark circles appear severe due to shadows under the eyes, and People in their 30s and 40s with mild skin sagging who do not need lower eyelid surgery I highly recommend this to everyone. 💬 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. How long does the effect last? A1. Although there may be individual differences, the results tend to last relatively long because it is a surgery that fundamentally improves the location of the fat. However, there may be differences depending on the individual's rate of aging in the future. Q2. Do most of the side effects disappear after surgery? A2. You can rest assured that swelling, bruising, conjunctival edema, temporary asymmetry, or overcorrection/undercorrection that may occur immediately after surgery will mostly improve naturally during the recovery process. In rare cases, there may be a possibility of recurrence. 🎯 Conclusion When considering under-eye surgery in your 40s, don't automatically think about your age Lower eyelid surgery There is no need to insist on only that. Skin sagging If the condition is not severe and your main concerns are fat protrusions and dark circles, Under-eye fat repositioning This is because it alone is enough to create a bright and lively youthful impression. ✔️ Key Points: My current sagging and fat condition under my eyes, not my age A decides the surgical method. ✔️ Management Points: Temporary swelling and bruising that occur for 1 to 2 weeks after surgery will naturally subside over time. ✔️ Necessity of specialist consultation: For satisfactory results Degree of skin sagging A one-on-one personalized consultation with a skilled specialist who can accurately diagnose it is essential.

hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. With May being Family Month, are you contemplating a meaningful gift to express your gratitude to your parents? Recently, among middle-aged and older adults, 'lower blepharoplasty,' which improves sagging and bulging fat under the eyes to make the impression brighter and younger, is receiving great attention as a representative cosmetic procedure for filial piety. To ensure high satisfaction, we will provide an easy-to-understand guide to the key benefits, side effects, and recovery process that you must check before surgery. Before restoring your parents' bright smiles, please review this article thoroughly first! Lower eyelid surgery goes beyond simple cosmetic surgery. What are the effects? 🟢 Improves under-eye fat and sagging skin to transform a tired-looking impression into a clear and bright one. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a one-dimensional procedure that simply removes wrinkles around the eyes. This is a procedure that comprehensively smooths out the dark shadows under the eyes and signs of aging that appear in combination with age. 🔸 Representative improvement effects : Improvement of under-eye fat protrusion Relieves sagging skin and fine lines Reduction of shadows that look like dark circles Improve a tired and aged appearance Forming a clearer and brighter impression If your parents' under-eyes look particularly puffy and tired when taking photos during holidays or family gatherings, lower eyelid surgery can be a good alternative. Middle-aged and older adults can enjoy the effect of significantly changing their overall image with just small changes under their eyes. Lower eyelid fat repositioning or lower blepharoplasty, which is better suited for my eyes? 🟢 The purpose of the surgery varies depending on whether it focuses on fat relocation or includes skin and muscle improvement. . Many people often confuse the two surgeries. Under-eye fat repositioning is primarily redistributing fat Regional migration center On the other hand, Lower eyelid surgery silver Comprehensive improvement of not only fat but also sagging skin and muscle condition It is an integrated surgery. 💡 If the condition involves severe skin sagging due to aging beyond simple fat protrusion, choosing lower eyelid surgery rather than lower eyelid fat repositioning is clinically much more suitable. How long do swelling and bruising last after lower eyelid surgery? Temporary symptoms may appear immediately after surgery, and usually subside after about 1 to 2 weeks to the point where they do not interfere with daily life. . After any surgical procedure, the speed of recovery may vary depending on the individual's constitution or skin condition. The general standard recovery course follows the steps below. Key Recovery Timeline : 🔸 Week 1 This is the period immediately after surgery when swelling and bruising are most severe. 🔸 Week 2 As significant swelling subsides, light commuting to work or daily activities become fully possible. 🔸 1 month As residual swelling gradually subsides, the surrounding tissue regains its natural feel. 🔸 3~6 months The internal tissue is firmly fixed and eventually settles completely. 💡 If your parents work or have an important meeting coming up, it is recommended to coordinate the schedule after securing at least 1 to 2 weeks of buffer time. What are the side effects and precautions that must be checked before surgery? Since all surgeries carry the possibility of side effects, you must be clearly aware of potential symptoms in advance. . Since lower eyelid surgery requires precise techniques, it is safer to check for potential symptoms in advance. Representative side effects to watch out for : ⚠️ Asymmetry and eyelid pulling ⚠️ Overcorrection or undercorrection ⚠️ Occurs micro-scars and dry eyes ⚠️ Rare eversion (the eyelid turns outward) 💡To prevent such side effects or complications such as ectropion or retraction, you must strictly verify whether the medical team is a specialist with sufficient know-how and extensive clinical experience regarding the surgery. What conditions should be considered more important than price or cost? 🟢 It is whether a 'personalized diagnosis' is provided, which closely analyzes skin sagging and muscle conditions that differ for each patient. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a trivial procedure that can be hastily decided upon based solely on low costs or promotional pricing benefits. This is because everyone has distinctly different innate physical conditions. Essential Checkpoints for Precise Diagnosis : 📌 Current degree of under-eye skin sagging 📌 The exact location and amount of protruding inner fat 📌 Thickness and weakening of the muscles under the eyes 📌 Overall skin elasticity and existing eye shape structure Since indiscriminately removing an excessive amount of tissue can lead to unnatural results, the key is the diagnostic ability to establish the most natural direction of improvement while preserving functional aspects. Specifically, who is lower eyelid surgery most recommended for? 🟢 We recommend this to those who are concerned about looking dull and older than their actual age due to signs of aging under their eyes. . Self-diagnosis checklist : ✔️ If you are often told you look tired because your under-eyes are always bulging ✔️ Cases where sagging soft tissue under the eyes makes you look much older than your actual age ✔️ Cases where the overall impression feels dull and dark due to shadows around the eyes ✔️ Cases where non-surgical lifting procedures were previously performed but the improvement was significantly insufficient ✔️ For those over middle age who want a very natural, non-artificial youthful face What is the detailed surgical recovery process and course by stage? After passing the initial stage of applying protective taping, the facial expression will gradually settle into a natural state by 6 months post-surgery. 🔹 [Stage 1] Immediately after surgery ~ Day 2 after surgery Carefully apply sutures and protective tape to the micro-incision site just below the eyelashes. Swelling that occurs immediately after surgery usually peaks on the 1st or 2nd day and tends to be severe. Light daily movements are immediately possible, and if you are concerned about the swollen appearance, you can sufficiently cover it by wearing a hat or glasses. 🔹 [Stage 2] Day 3 ~ Day 4 Post-Surgery From this point on, the swelling, which had peaked, begins to gradually and noticeably decrease. As you apply the prescribed eye ointment regularly, the area around the tape may appear slightly shiny or oily, but this is a perfectly normal part of the healing process, so you can rest assured. 🔹 [Stage 3] Day 6 ~ Day 7 Post-Surgery (Time for Suture Removal) Visit the hospital to safely remove the attached protective tape and fine stitches.
