Visit verification complete #[Gangnam] Brazilian Wax 5 sessions including anal After years of only doing Brazilian waxing, I decided to get laser treatment because both the cost and the hair kept growing back. I was worried because I had heard many reviews saying it was painful, but it didn't hurt at all, and I found it funny how scared I was.. haha! The cool breeze also helped minimize the discomfort. All the staff were incredibly friendly 🥹🥹. No matter how skilled or painless the treatment is, I always get uncomfortable with unfriendly service, so I was really grateful for the warm welcome! They also provided detailed explanations, which helped me understand the procedure well. Thank you~!!! I will come back next month! ♥️

Visit verification complete #[Spot Remover] Aiton Laser I had my consultation during the second week of June and came in for my sixth session. I'm now entering my sixth treatment session, combining toning with dual laser therapy. I also took advantage of the promotional price for Aton. After the procedure, I've been told that receiving a massage with a mask enhances the results. I'm feeling my skin becoming gradually brighter, and I make sure to use sunscreen regularly. The doctor and the staff are friendly and thorough in their care. Since this is a promotional offer, the price is reasonable, and I plan to come back for additional treatments in the winter after completing these ten sessions.^^

View more[Health Column] Do Xylitol Candies Eaten Instead of Brushing Really Prevent Cavities?[1]
hello! Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Recently, if you look at online communities or social media, xylitol products are gaining immense popularity, being referred to as "candy eaten instead of brushing teeth" or "cavity-preventing candy to eat before bed." From parents of children who love sweets to adults who find it difficult to brush their teeth due to frequent external work, many people often ask, "Doctor, does this really work?" Is it really okay to eat sweet candy after brushing my teeth? To start with the conclusion, If you choose the right product properly, it is definitely effective in preventing cavities! Today, I will explain the hidden principles behind this xylitol candy and how to choose the right one in a very easy-to-understand way from a dentist's perspective. 1️⃣ How does xylitol, which is as sweet as sugar, prevent cavities? 👋 It is thanks to the 'fishing effect,' which sweetly lures cavity-causing bacteria until they exhaust themselves and die. The main culprit causing cavities in the mouth is a bacterium called 'Streptococcus mutans'. When this thing consumes the sugar (sweeteners) in the food we eat, it breaks it down and uses it as energy, and in the process, it releases 'acid'. It is this acidic component that dissolves the tooth surface and turns it black—that is tooth decay. However, when you meet xylitol, the situation changes completely! The Illusion of Cavity-Causing Bacteria: Xylitol has a chemical structure very similar to sugar, so cavity-causing bacteria mistake it for a tasty sugar and eagerly consume it. Foolish Repetition: However, cavity-causing bacteria cannot digest or break down xylitol. Ultimately, energy Having failed to obtain it, it spits it back out, and the hungry bacteria foolishly repeat this process. result: Cavity-causing bacteria, which only used up energy, eventually become exhausted and starve to death. In other words, xylitol acts as a kind of 'booby trap' that lures cavity-causing bacteria with its sweetness without providing them with any nutritional value, thereby draining their energy. 2️⃣ Is it really okay to eat xylitol after brushing my teeth? 👋 yes, In fact, it is much more effective to eat it immediately after you have finished brushing your teeth thoroughly! When you brush your teeth, large plaque and food debris attached to the surface of your teeth are primarily removed. If you consume xylitol in this state, the xylitol component is directly absorbed into the cavity-causing bacteria remaining in very fine particles in the mouth, maximizing the effect of starving and killing them. Furthermore, the unique sweetness of xylitol stimulates the salivary glands, significantly increasing saliva production. Our saliva contains beneficial components that protect our teeth and replenish calcium. Thanks to this, you can achieve a synergistic effect where the acidic environment in your mouth is neutralized and your teeth become even stronger. 3️⃣ Do xylitol products sold at supermarkets or convenience stores also work? 👋 Don't be fooled! If you do not check the 'xylitol content' on the ingredient list, it will have no effect. Unfortunately, among the numerous xylitol gums and candies sold on the market, there are many that are xylitol in name only and actually contain sugar, other sweeteners, or acidic additives secretly mixed in. What would happen if even just 1% of other sugars were mixed into the product besides xylitol? Instead of stupidly eating xylitol and starving, cavity-causing bacteria miraculously find and consume that 1% of sugar, produce acid again, and dissolve the teeth. Therefore, to experience the full effects of the genuine product, you must keep your eyes peeled and check the ingredient list on the back. 🔍 Essential Checklist from a Dentist ✅ Choose products containing 100% xylitol as a sweetener or those with an absolute xylitol content among the total ingredients ✅ Absolutely avoid products containing synthetic flavorings or citric acid (acidic ingredients), as they can actually corrode your teeth. 4️⃣ If I just eat xylitol candy, do I not need to brush my teeth anymore? 👋 Absolutely not! Xylitol candy is just an excellent 'supplement,' not 'toothpaste.' No matter how good xylitol is for preventing cavities, it can never replace brushing your teeth. This is because the sticky physical bacterial film (plaque) and fine food debris adhering to the surface of teeth can only be cleanly removed through the physical force of brushing and flossing. To put it simply, eating only xylitol without brushing your teeth is like spraying fragrant air freshener without cleaning the room at all. When supported by the solid foundation of brushing your teeth thoroughly three times a day, the preventive effects of xylitol finally shine brightly. Please make sure to remember this point! ❔ FAQ: Top 4 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Xylitol Candy Q1. Does the more you eat, the better the cavity prevention effect? A1. No! Too much of a good thing is bad. With xylitol, 'how many times a day you divide it into' (number of intakes) is much more important than the 'amount' you consume. The recommended daily intake for adults is about 5 to 10 grams. Rather than consuming a large amount at once, it is much more effective to starve cavity-causing bacteria by increasing the frequency of consumption to ensure the xylitol remains in the mouth 3 to 5 times a day. Caution: Due to the nature of xylitol as a natural sweetener (sugar alcohol), consuming excessive amounts at once can draw water into the intestines, potentially causing diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bloating. Please be sure to consume it in small amounts throughout the day! Q2. I want to feed this to my child. From what age can I start giving it? A2. It is recommended to start after 12 to 14 months of age, when the first molars come in and teeth begin to erupt, and when the child can suck on and melt candy on their own. It is very useful because the risk of cavity-causing bacteria infection increases rapidly from this period onwards. However, caution is required as there is a risk of the candy getting stuck in the throat if swallowed whole. If the child is still hesitant about eating candy, it is recommended to start safely by gently applying pure xylitol powder to their gums or teeth. Q3. Can I trust and buy all products on the market that have "100% Xylitol" written in large letters? A3. Do not be fooled by the marketing slogans on the front; you must check the 'total content' of the ingredients on the back. Even if it says 100% on the front, if you look at the detailed ingredient list, it is often '100% xylitol among sweeteners'. In other words, it simply means that the proportion of xylitol among the sweeteners included in the product is high; in reality, it implies that additives such as processed sugars or citric acid may be mixed in. Please make sure to check the back to confirm that it is a pure product made entirely of [99~100% Xylitol] without any other sugars! Q4. If I eat xylitol every day, do I still need dental checkups or fluoride application? A4. No. Xylitol only inhibits the activity of cavity-causing bacteria; it cannot strengthen the teeth themselves or stop microcavities that have already started. On the other hand, 'fluoride application' performed in dentistry is a fundamental protective barrier treatment that strongly remodels the tooth surface structure itself to withstand acid. The most perfect defense strategy is to manage your daily routine with xylitol while visiting the dentist every 3 to 6 months for regular checkups and fluoride application. 🎯 Conclusion: The surest shortcut to maintaining lifelong dental health ✅ Xylitol is a smart supplement: It plays an excellent role in starving cavity-causing bacteria to death, but basic brushing always comes first. ✅ Checking the ingredients is essential: Choose a 99-100% pure xylitol product free of other sugars or acidic ingredients, and consume it 3 to 5 times a day. ✅ The truly perfect prevention is regular checkups: Just as important as the dedication to taking xylitol is detecting invisible, microscopic cavities at an early stage. In particular, our children's primary teeth have a thinner outer surface (enamel) compared to permanent teeth, so if a cavity forms, it progresses to the nerve in an instant. Please maintain a healthy oral environment every day with xylitol candy, Please make sure to visit the dentist for a regular check-up every 3 to 6 months. The small habit of becoming familiar with the dentist is the surest shortcut to protecting your precious teeth that will last a lifetime.

정재욱 원장26.06.29Views 26Likes 1 [Health Column] Bleeding and Swollen Gums, Can They Be Cured with Medication? The Truth About Periodontal Disease Explained by a Doctor[3]
hello, Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic It is. 😊 You rush to the dentist when you get a cavity, but when your gums swell and bleed, you often casually dismiss it, thinking, "It's probably just because I'm tired," right? There are many people who manage by using toothpaste or nutritional supplements that are said to be good for their gums. However, periodontal disease is easy to neglect because its early symptoms are mild, but it is a frightening condition that can force you to extract entire healthy teeth if it worsens. 😱 Today, I will go over the three truths and key facts about periodontal disease that many people misunderstand! 1️⃣ Is the blood I see when brushing my teeth due to my condition? 👋 The obvious message from the gums 'Inflammation signals' It could be. It is true that when you are tired, your gums feel more swollen and bleed. However, the fundamental cause is not your condition, but the buildup between your teeth and gums 'Plaque' and 'Tartar' It is. ⚠️ It is a condition where tartar, a mass of bacteria, continuously irritates the gums and causes inflammation. If you have started bleeding while brushing your teeth, it is already the early stage of periodontal disease. 'gingivitis' This means it is in progress, so you must absolutely not neglect it! 💡"Bleeding gums are not a sign that you need to rest, but a sign that you need to visit the dentist to have tartar removed." 2️⃣ Can taking commercial gum supplements cure gum disease? 👋 Unfortunately, it is not cured. Nutritional supplements Supplements It is just work. Many people purchase gum supplements after seeing advertisements. While ingredients such as Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin C can help with gum health, it is impossible to dissolve existing tartar or treat periodontal disease itself. The root cause of periodontal disease is tartar. Tartar can only be removed through scaling at a dental clinic. Please keep in mind that nutritional supplements only play a 'supportive role' in maintaining healthy gums and are not a cure! 3️⃣ Does getting a scaling cause a lot of tooth wear? 👋 This is the most common misconception. Scaling is It never wears down your teeth. . The principle of scaling equipment is to use fine 'ultrasonic vibrations' to selectively remove only calcified tartar. There is no physical force strong enough to scrape away hard tooth enamel. There is a scientific reason for the discomfort you experience after the procedure. My teeth are sensitive As tartar strips away its thick layer, the tooth nerves have become temporarily sensitive to temperature changes. It will disappear soon, so please don't worry! Gaps form between my teeth. The tooth did not dissolve; rather, the space was exposed as the plaque that had filled it was removed. This is not what happened because of scaling, but the true appearance of my gums. 4️⃣ What happens when you identify the stage of periodontal disease? 👋 Periodontal disease strikes silently Silent disease no see. Stage 1 (Gingivitis) : A condition where inflammation is limited to the outer surface of the gums. Although the gums retract, 100% recovery is possible with scaling alone. ✔️ Stage 2 (Periodontitis) : Inflammation has progressed to the gum bone (alveolar bone). Bad breath has become severe, and the gums have receded. From this stage on, precise gum treatment is necessary. 🔶 3 Stage (end-stage periodontitis) The gum bone has completely eroded, causing the teeth to loosen. At this stage, it is difficult to save the teeth, and eventually, implants are required. 🔺 ❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Does rinsing your mouth with salt water cure gum disease? A. While it may have a temporary sterilizing effect, it cannot remove tartar. In fact, please be careful, as high-concentration salt water can damage the oral mucosa, cause dry mouth, and worsen inflammation! Q2. How often should I get scaling? A. Generally, we recommend once or twice a year. However, smokers, coffee drinkers, and people with diabetes tend to accumulate plaque faster, so it is advisable to receive care every 3 to 6 months. 🗓️ Q3. Does having diabetes worsen gum disease? A. Yes, they are very closely related! Diabetic patients have lower resistance to gum bacteria, making their risk of developing periodontal disease up to three times higher. Regular gum care is essential, especially for those with diabetes. 🎯 Conclusion: The easiest way to keep a smile for a lifetime While cavities can be treated and filled or crowned, gum bone that has eroded away does not grow back. 🚫 The only way to keep my gums healthy is Regular dental visits no see. Do not ignore the small signals your gums are sending right now (bleeding, swelling). You can protect your precious natural teeth simply by getting a scaling at least once every six months. 😊 Dr. Jae-wook Jeong, Chief Director of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Ministry of Health and Welfare specialist in Prosthodontics Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Internship at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Sinchon; completed residency in Prosthodontics.

정재욱 원장26.06.25Views 60Likes 3 [Health Column] Do I Really Need an Implant Just Because I Lost a Tooth? Changes That Can Occur If Neglected[3]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 👋 When I see patients in the clinic, I very frequently receive the question, "I lost a molar, but I can manage my daily life right now. Do I really need an implant?" Since there isn't much discomfort from missing a tooth or two when chewing on the other side, many people tend to put off treatment. However, teeth are not independent entities but a structure that pushes and supports each other to form a single perfect balance. Even if it looks fine for now, leaving the empty space unattended for a long time can trigger unexpected domino effects within the oral cavity. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way what happens when you leave a missing tooth untreated! ✨ 1️⃣ It's just one missing tooth; will it really not be uncomfortable at first? 🦷 For now, you may not feel any inconvenience as you can work on the opposite side. 🔹 It is simply the process of the body adapting to discomfort. Losing a single tooth does not immediately cause extreme changes, such as being unable to eat at all or having your pronunciation twisted. 🙅♂️ Especially when a molar is missing, people naturally chew food using only the healthy teeth on the opposite side and often think, "Oh? Life is better than I thought?" 🔹 Examples of real-life situations Ever since I lost my right molar, I've been unconsciously chewing all my food only on the left side. Since I wasn't in pain right away, I kept putting off my dental appointment until next month. 📌 It is not that you are not uncomfortable; rather, your body may be forcing itself to adapt to adverse conditions. Do not let your guard down! ⚠️ (Source: AI Image) 2️⃣ What happens to the surrounding teeth if the empty space is left for a long time? 🦷 The teeth on both sides tilt into the empty space, and the interlocking teeth shift. 🔹 The balance of teeth collapsing like dominoes The teeth in the oral cavity are closely packed together without gaps to maintain balance. Just as the whole system wobbles when a single gear is missing, when a gap forms, the surrounding teeth begin to move to fill that space. 📉 The teeth on both sides tilt toward the empty space, and the opposing teeth lose their support and sink up or rise up. 🔹 Changes that occur gradually over several months to years This change is not visible overnight. However, over several months to years, the entire set of teeth gradually becomes misaligned. 3️⃣ Does the habit of chewing on only one side affect the jaw joint? 🦷 Repeated unilateral chewing leads to jaw muscle imbalance and strain on the temporomandibular joint. 🔹 Excessive overload applied to only one side of the jaw If 'unilateral chewing,' where you chew food on only one side to avoid the side without teeth, becomes a habit, you end up overusing specific jaw muscles. 🏋️ This becomes the main cause of disrupting the balance of the jaw joint. 🔹 Symptoms actually experienced Among those visiting the dentist, there are some who say, "Strangely, lately only one side of my jaw feels stiff, and I hear a clicking sound every time I open my mouth." 🗣️ Upon examining the cause, it is not uncommon to find that delaying treatment for past tooth loss has snowballed back to haunt them. 4️⃣ How does the invisible gum bone change? 🦷 The area where the tooth is missing does not receive stimulation, so the gum bone gradually shrinks. 🔹 Bone resorption that decreases the longer it is left untreated The alveolar bone maintains its volume and health only when teeth are firmly embedded and receive the force (masticatory pressure) generated when chewing food. However, if a tooth is lost and no further stimulation is transmitted, our body determines that the bone in that area is no longer needed and initiates bone resorption, in which the height and thickness of the bone gradually decrease. 📌 It is like the process of the land (soil) where trees are planted gradually drying out and eroding away. As time passes, this loss accelerates even further! ⚠️ 5️⃣ Will it be more difficult to get implants later? 🦷 If gum bone becomes insufficient, additional treatments such as bone grafting become necessary, placing a heavy burden on the patient. 🔹 Simple treatment turns into high-difficulty surgery Even in cases where implantation was relatively easy immediately after extraction because the gum bone was strong, the difficulty of treatment changes completely if the tooth is left untreated for a long time and the bone has completely dissolved. 🛑 Additional regenerative treatments, such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lift, may be essential to fill in the lack of bone. 🔹 Increasing treatment duration and financial burden As a result, a process that could have been completed in a single step expands into multiple stages, extending the overall treatment period and significantly increasing the financial burden. This is why it is wisest to seek consultation without missing the appropriate timing. 💰 6️⃣ Is dentures alone sufficient as an alternative? 🦷 Dentures are a good option, but there are differences in terms of stability and chewing sensation. 🔹 You need to make a choice that suits the situation and oral environment. When multiple teeth are lost over a wide range, dentures can be an economical and excellent alternative to prosthetic treatment. However, since it is a detachable structure, there is the inconvenience of having to periodically adjust it to fit the gums while using it. 🔹 Fixation similar to natural teeth On the other hand, since implants directly fix the artificial root to the gum bone, you can expect excellent chewing sensation and stability that are in no way inferior to natural teeth. Rather than assuming that one treatment is unconditionally correct, the decision must be made after carefully considering the condition of the remaining teeth and the overall oral environment. 7️⃣ What is the most important point when you lose a tooth? 🦷 The key is to get an accurate checkup without missing the timing, rather than rushing unconditionally. 🔹 Indefinite neglect is the behavior to be avoided most. It is not necessarily best to get an implant on the same day as tooth extraction. Depending on the individual's gum inflammation, there may be times when you need to wait. However, leaving it untreated indefinitely without a plan is a shortcut to ruining your oral health. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis of your current bone condition and whether you are causing harm to surrounding teeth, and to determine the right timing. 🔹 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been living with a missing molar for over a year. Would it be too late to go to the dentist now? A1. Now is the best time to visit! 🏃♂️ Since subtle tooth movement or bone resorption may be in progress after about a year, it is important to accurately check the current condition of surrounding teeth and gum bone through X-ray imaging and establish an appropriate prosthetic plan. Q2. Is bone grafting mandatory for everyone during implant surgery? A2. No! If you have recently had a tooth extracted or have naturally abundant and firm gum bone, implant placement is possible without a bone graft. However, as mentioned in the text, if the bone has eroded due to being left untreated for a long period, a bone graft may be required for stabilization. 👋 Q3. The cost of implants is a burden right now. Can I use dentures for now and switch to implants later? A3. Yes, it is possible. However, even while using dentures for a long time, bone resorption gradually occurs as the dentures press against the gums. If the bone structure has become too low when you eventually switch to implants, the difficulty of the surgery may increase, potentially requiring a larger amount of bone graft material. Therefore, we recommend discussing a long-term plan with a specialist. 😊 🔸 Conclusion Neglecting a tooth with the mindset that "it's just one tooth" can lead to changes in tooth alignment, gum bone loss, strain on the jaw joint, and reduced chewing function, ultimately causing overall oral collapse. 📉 Even if you feel fine after tooth extraction, you must be aware that the bone beneath your gums and your alignment are continuously changing invisibly. Every patient has different oral bone volume and dental alignment. The best way to protect your precious dental health without expanding the scope of treatment is to find a trusted medical professional for an accurate examination before it is too late. 🩺 ✨ A little attention now and early check-ups can significantly reduce the duration and cost of future treatment. Don't hesitate to check your oral health first!

이현섭 원장26.06.24Views 134Likes 2 [Health Column] I've already had veneers; is it possible to get braces?[3]
Hello, this is Director Oh Su-hwan of Smile D Dental Clinic. There are many people who previously received veneers for a beautiful smile but are now concerned as their teeth have gradually become misaligned over time. I want to receive orthodontic treatment again, but, "Do I have to remove all the existing veneers?", "What about the cost and pain?" There are quite a few cases where people feel anxious, saying things like that. Today, I will provide clear solutions for each case regarding whether orthodontic treatment is possible even with veneers. So, shall we start by addressing the key question that many of you are curious about? 🤔 1️⃣ Do I absolutely have to remove braces after veneers? ✨ It is reasonable to accurately diagnose the current situation and proceed selectively with only the necessary parts. To start with the conclusion, having veneers does not mean that orthodontic treatment is impossible. However, the treatment strategy simply varies depending on the patient's dental condition. We must accurately diagnose the condition rather than unconditionally removing the entire tooth. One example is a case where the laminate prosthesis itself is firmly attached, but only the lower teeth are slightly misaligned. ⚠️ Rather than blindly removing all the prosthetics, Please consult a specialist first to see if there are any parts that can be preserved. The treatment method varies completely depending on the condition. Which category does my tooth fall into? 👇 2️⃣ What are the situational treatment cases that suit me? ✨ It proceeds in three directions depending on the condition of the prosthesis and the purpose of occlusion. 🔸 If the laminate is in good condition (conservative correction) If you are satisfied with the color or shape of the existing laminates and there are no significant issues such as fractures, correction is possible while maintaining them. You can attach orthodontic brackets through tooth surface treatment, or correct only the tooth alignment using clear aligners. 🔸 When partial replacement of the laminate is required This is a case where you are dissatisfied because part of your tooth is fractured or your gums are in poor condition. We remove only the problematic laminates and proceed with orthodontic treatment, then fabricate new laminates only for that specific area after the correction. 🔸 Cases where a complete redesign is required It is necessary not just for simple tooth movement, but when the occlusion itself is not harmonious, such as in cases of protruding teeth, open bite, or facial asymmetry. The laminates must be removed to check the original alignment and condition of the teeth. If necessary, the original tooth positions are restored using temporary teeth before proceeding with orthodontic treatment, and finally, the aesthetic prosthetics are redesigned. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. If braces are attached to teeth that have been laminated, won't they fall off easily? A1. Of course, it requires more caution than attaching it to natural teeth. However, since current dental technology allows for sufficient surface treatment to ensure attachment, you do not need to worry too much. Q2. Is more tooth reduction involved when removing laminates? A2. The key is to avoid causing additional damage to teeth that have already been prepared for veneers. We delicately remove existing prosthetics and safely proceed with orthodontic treatment while protecting the teeth using temporary teeth if necessary. Q3. The treatment period and cost are very burdensome. A3. 'Selective redesign' tailored to your oral condition is much more efficient than redoing the entire set. Rather than indiscriminate replacement, it is important to determine the scope of treatment in consultation with a specialist, considering overall facial harmony and functional occlusion. 🎯 Conclusion: A thoughtful choice for a healthy smile 📌 Key Points: Just because your teeth are slightly misaligned, you do not necessarily need to get braces or, conversely, insist on veneers. ✨ To maintain a healthy and attractive smile line even 10 or 20 years from now Clearly understanding the current tooth alignment and occlusion status This is the priority. 🩺 If you are currently concerned about your tooth alignment, we recommend that you consult thoroughly with an orthodontist, including whether you can maintain your veneers.

View moreThe most common concern before double eyelid surgery: Buried Suture Method vs. Incisional Method—which method is right for me?[1]
hello! Director Kim So-young of View Plastic Surgery no see. ✨ When conducting consultations for double eyelid surgery, there is a common question that patients ask most frequently. as soon as " Doctor, should I have the buried suture method or the incision method? It's a question about... 💬 If you look at reviews on the internet or social media, you will find many comments saying that "the buried suture method is natural and recovery is fast," and "the incisional method creates a distinct line that lasts a long time." However, when you are actually facing your own surgery, it is only natural to feel even more confused and worried about which choice is right. 🤔 So today, I will explain the real differences between the buried suture method and the incisional method—which many of you lose sleep worrying about—and pinpoint the key points in an easy-to-understand way to help you figure out which method is the perfect fit for your eyes! 👇 1️⃣ My friend became beautiful with the buried suture method, so why do I have to have the incisional method? This is one of the stories I hear very often in the counseling room. There are people who express disappointment, asking, "My friend's results turned out incredibly natural with the buried suture method, so why do you recommend the incisional method for me?" 🥲 However, double eyelid surgery is The surgical method varies completely depending strictly on the individual's eye structure. 👁️ The thickness of the eyelid skin, the amount of fat, the degree of skin sagging, and the strength of the muscles that open the eyes—such diverse and complex factors must be considered comprehensively. Therefore, even with the same monolid eyes, some people achieve perfect results with the buried suture method alone, while others require the incisional method to obtain satisfactory results that do not come undone. 👍 Rather than blindly following others' reviews or surgical methods, it is most important to have your eye condition accurately diagnosed by a specialist. ✨ 2️⃣ Who is the perfect fit for the buried suture method for natural-looking eyes? A method that promotes natural and rapid recovery by tying through small holes without incising the skin! The buried suture method is a surgical technique that creates a tight double eyelid line using medical sutures by making tiny holes instead of directly incising the skin. 🧵 Since it doesn't involve a scalpel, it has the strong advantage of relatively less swelling and a noticeably shorter recovery period. 🚀 📌 I highly recommend the buried suture method to these people! ✅ Those with naturally thin eyelid skin ✅ For those who do not have much fat on their eyelids ✅ Those who do not have severe skin sagging ✅ For those who want natural lines that look like their own, without any signs of surgery ⚠️ Recently, with the remarkable advancement of medical technology, the retention of the buried suture method has also become much stronger compared to the past. However, please keep in mind that if you have particularly thick skin or a significant amount of fat that protrudes noticeably, there is a relatively higher possibility that the lines may gradually weaken or loosen over time. 💡 3️⃣ Is the incisional method always artificial and very obvious that I've had plastic surgery? How to neatly smooth out thick skin and fat to achieve sharp and defined lines! Many people get scared just by hearing the word "incision method." It is because of the worry, "What if I get an incision and it looks too artificial, like sausage eyes?" 😢 It is true that in the past, there was a strong perception that incisional surgery invariably resulted in thick, prominent lines. but Recently, it is possible to design naturally to suit an individual's overall eye condition and desired needs. 🎨 The incisional method is a technique that creates a double eyelid by making an incision in the skin and neatly trimming any unnecessary fat or sagging tissue inside the eyelid. 📌 The incisional method is much more advantageous for these people! ✅ For those with firm and thick eyelid skin ✅ For those with excess fat on their eyelids ✅ For those who want clearer and more distinct lines without a blurry look 4️⃣ How much difference is there in the realistic recovery period after surgery? The point that those balancing work or studies are most realistically curious about is the 'recovery period'. 🗓️ In terms of general outcomes, the buried suture method certainly results in less swelling and bruising compared to the incisional method, and allows for a faster return to daily life. However, recently, as surgical techniques and equipment for the incision method have advanced delicately, bleeding and damage are less compared to the past, significantly reducing the burden of recovery for patients. ✨ ⚠️ Wait a minute! The most important point: You should not hastily decide on a surgical method based solely on recovery speed, simply saying, "I have to go to work early, so I'll definitely go with the buried suture method." 🙅 This is because choosing the standard method best suited to your eye structure, even if it takes a few extra days for recovery, is the surest way to prevent revision surgery and maximize satisfaction in the long run. ❔ FAQ: Top 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Double Eyelid Surgery Q1. Won't surgery using the incisional method leave unsightly scars on the eyes? 😢 A1. This is the part you fear the most before surgery. In the early stages after surgery, there may be some redness along the incision line or it may look like a scar, but in most cases, it gradually fades and becomes natural as time passes and the skin heals. Best of all, when your eyes are open, the scar tucks right inside the crease of your double eyelid and is hidden, so it isn't as noticeable as you might think; you don't need to worry too much! 🥰 Q2. If I have the first surgery done with an incision, is it impossible to get revision surgery later? 😰 A2. Absolutely not! Just because the first surgery was performed using the incisional method does not mean that future revision surgery is fundamentally impossible. 🙅 However, eye revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery because it requires precise calculation of much more complex and diverse factors, such as the condition of existing tissue and scar tissue. That is why To ensure a good start, it is best to determine the surgical method that is perfect for you through sufficient diagnosis and consultation from the beginning. 📌 Q3. If I am older, is the buried suture method unavailable and only the incisional method is possible? 👵 A3. No, that is also one of the common misconceptions! When deciding on a surgical method, the age figure itself is not an absolute criterion. What matters is not age, but the current degree of skin sagging and the condition of my eyelid muscles. 👁️ Even if you are in your 30s or 40s or older, if the skin around your eyes is not severely sagging and has elasticity, the buried suture method is often sufficient. Conversely, even if you are in your fresh 20s, if your eyelid skin is very thick and there is excessive fat, we may recommend the incisional method. ✨ 💡 Conclusion: Ultimately, the most perfect answer is 'the choice that suits my eyes' It cannot be concluded that either the buried suture method or the incisional method is absolutely superior or better. 🙅 Because the buried suture method has its own light and natural charm, while the incisional method has the distinct advantage of a clear and precise correction effect unique to itself. What is truly important is to avoid blindly chasing trendy eye shapes or hearsay about acquaintances or famous celebrities succeeding using a particular method. 🚫 You must find the perfect answer that fits exactly your unique eye structure, skin thickness, fat volume, and the balance of the image you ultimately desire. 🎯 ✨ Double eyelid surgery is not simply a procedure of drawing a single line on the eyelid; it is a delicate process that balances the entire eye shape to maximize one's impression and charm. . 👁️✨ There is no single correct answer to the dilemma of "Should I use the buried suture method or the incision method?" I hope you find skilled medical professionals who can thoroughly analyze your eye condition, undergo sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis, and choose the most suitable method to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes. 💕 View Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Kim So-young Master of Medicine, Ewha Womans University College of Medicine Doctor of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University College of Medicine Graduate School Completed residency in Plastic Surgery at Samsung Seoul Hospital Lifetime member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Anti-aging Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Training in Plastic Surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA
김소영 원장26.06.29Views 14Likes 1 From lifting procedures to incisional surgery, a comprehensive guide to the right lifting type for you and its side effects![3]
hello! Dr. Han Kyu-nam, Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic It is. ✨ Skin sagging naturally comes with aging—it’s upsetting every time you look in the mirror, isn't it, to just brush it off by saying, "Everyone does it"? 🥲 To ensure safe plastic surgery procedures and surgeries, today we have prepared the first session on 'Creating a Proper Plastic Surgery Culture,' which is essential from the perspective of consumers and customers! I am going to explain the lifting procedures that so many of you are curious about in great detail and with honesty. 👇 1️⃣ What is non-surgical lifting (EBD/thread lifting) and what are its characteristics? ✨ Everything about non-surgical lifting that simply tightens sagging tissue without a scalpel! 🔸 Energy-based device (EBD) lifting If facial sagging is not severe, devices such as radio frequency (Thermage) or ultrasound (Ulthera) are primarily used. 🔥 Just like meat shrinks when grilled, this method induces tightening by applying heat around the SMAS layer deep within the skin using different principles! Recently, a wide variety of equipment has been developed, including devices utilizing microwaves similar in principle to microwave ovens; these are collectively referred to as EBDs (Energy Based Devices). Depending on the device, the cost can be as high as surgery, making it less cost-effective, so you should be cautious. However, there is a definite advantage in that the recovery period is short, allowing you to manage the procedure discreetly while going about your daily life. 🔸 Thread Lifting It is a representative procedure with a low barrier to entry, in addition to EBD. It is a method that involves inserting threads of various shapes and materials into the skin and physically pulling them up. They are broadly divided into dissolvable and non-dissolvable threads. • Non-dissolving threads: They last a little longer, but the difference isn't huge. Above all, the psychological burden of knowing they remain in the body for a lifetime is significant. • Dissolvable threads (PDO): Currently the most commonly used material, it takes about 6 to 8 months to break down in the body. 📌 It has excellent biocompatibility, so you can rest assured that it rarely causes problems or inflammation on its own inside the body. "In that case, are there absolutely no side effects with non-surgical lifting?" ⚠️ Just because there is no incision does not mean the risk of side effects is 0%! • Cases of EBD side effects: You may have occasionally seen unfortunate news articles about patients suffering facial burns after undergoing the procedure under general anesthesia. Additionally, cases frequently occur where patients complain that their face looks more saggy because they have lost weight after the procedure, as the fat layer surrounding the targeted SMAS is affected. • Examples of thread lifting side effects: Since sagging tissue is only moved upward without being cut away, the lower skin may accumulate near the cheekbones, temporarily making the face appear wider. If the threads are too close to the skin, they may cause skin indentations (ding-up) or adhesions. 2️⃣ What is the principle behind incisional lifting (facelift/mini-facelift), and what are the precautions? ✨ The truth about incisional lifting and mini-lifting that effectively cut away sagging skin and pull it up! 🔸 Representative surgery, facelift It is literally a surgery where the skin is directly incised, pulled up, the excess flesh is completely cut away, and then sutured. Typically, a long incision is used that starts at the hairline near the temple, wraps around the front and back of the ear, and connects. There are exactly two key keywords for a facelift! ① SMAS layer: A major structure located inside the skin that must be pulled ② Retaining ligament: An obstruction that must be severed because it hinders tissue movement In other words, the principle is to completely loosen the retaining ligaments that hinder facial movement and then strongly pull the SMAS layer to move the sagging skin back to its original youthful position. With the recent advancement of plastic surgery anatomy, various surgical methods have emerged. Currently, the mainstream trend in facelift surgery is the 'Deep Plane Facelift,' which has many advantages as it significantly reduces the scope of subcutaneous dissection. 🔸 The Truth Behind Confusing Mini-Lifts (Mini-Facelifts) It is popular due to the perception that "an incision is made, but simply," but in reality, it is the area that patients find most confusing because there is no precise medical definition or consensus. • General method: A small incision is usually made inside the temple hairline, and the skin beneath is narrowly dissected (subcutaneous dissection). • ⚠️ Honest Comparison of Effects: While the effects may last slightly longer than thread lifting, they fall far short of the results of a traditional facelift. This is because mini-lifts generally cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only partially release the retaining ligaments. • ✔️ Important Checkpoint: Even if different hospitals use the same name, 'Mini Lifting,' the location of the incision and the extent of dissection vary completely. Generally, the longer the incision and the wider the dissection area, the more certain the results can be expected, so you must confirm the dissection area during the consultation. ❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Why do so many people say they lost facial fat after receiving an energy-based device (EBD) lift? A1. A layer of fat is located around the SMAS layer, which is targeted by high-frequency or ultrasound energy. If this fatty area is affected by the energy during the procedure, its volume decreases, which may make it appear visually slimmer or more saggy. Q2. Can my cheekbones look bigger after a thread lift? A2. Yes, this is a phenomenon that can certainly occur. Thread lifting is a procedure that pulls and moves excess skin or soft tissue upward, rather than cutting it away. Therefore, if the volume that was sagging downwards is pushed toward the cheekbones, the face may momentarily appear wider. Q3. Is there a significant difference in effectiveness between a mini-lift and a facelift? A3. Yes, there is a significant difference. Mini-lifting involves a small incision and a narrow dissection range, so it cannot dissect below the SMAS layer and can only release a portion of the retaining ligaments. On the other hand, a full facelift utilizes extensive dissection to thoroughly release the retaining ligaments and fundamentally tighten the SMAS layer, resulting in a different depth of effect. 🎯 Conclusion Lifting is broadly divided into EBD lifting using equipment, thread lifting using threads, and incision lifting (facelift and mini-facelift) which involves cutting and removing the skin. Even non-incisional procedures can result in side effects such as burns, sunken cheeks, or enlarged cheekbones, and the scope of mini-lifting varies widely from hospital to hospital. Every patient has a different facial structure, and soft tissue conditions, such as the skin and SMAS layer, vary completely. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to blindly insist on a specific surgery simply because you heard, "This surgical method is the trend these days." Please be sure to find the best method for your face through an in-depth consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience. 🩺 Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Han Gyu-nam Graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine Master's degree from Seoul National University College of Medicine Plastic Surgery Resident at Seoul National University Hospital Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Association of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Anti-aging Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Breast Reconstruction Research Group Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Botox, Filler, and Thread Research Group Subcommittee Member of the Future Committee of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons MINT global key doctor Elasticum Advisory Board MENTOR Young Leader 17 years of experience in lifting procedures Possesses numerous cases in the field of incisional lifting Current Chief Director of Samsao Plastic Surgery Clinic

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

최순우 원장26.06.23Views 65Likes 3 CoolSculpting accessory breast treatment, a method to improve underarm fat without incisions[4]
Hello, this is Dr. Woo Eun-kyung from Jongno Le Miel Plastic Surgery. If you have hesitated to wear sleeveless tops or swimsuits because of the bulges of fat around your armpits whenever you choose clothes, I fully understand how you feel. You must have been frustrated because no matter how much you dieted or exercised consistently, that particular area showed no change. ⚠️ Actually, this concern may not be simply due to excess fat. This is because the cause of accessory breasts differs fundamentally from that of ordinary fat, making it difficult to resolve through lifestyle changes alone. Today, I will provide an easy-to-understand introduction to the reasons why accessory breasts develop and the CoolSculpting procedure, which is accessible without incisions, focusing on practical information. What is an accessory breast? Accessory breasts refer to residual breast tissue remaining in or around the armpit in addition to normal breast tissue. Medically, it is called 'polymastia,' and it often occurs when the mammary ridge does not completely degenerate during fetal development. Underarm accessory breasts may appear to protrude when the arms are lowered or look like flesh is being pushed out beyond the bra line, and may be accompanied by skin sagging and pigmentation. Key characteristics of accessory breasts 📌 Occurs in various locations such as the armpits, sides of the chest, abdomen, and groin 📌 Size may change during the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 📌 May cause pain or discomfort 📌 Occurs rarely in men as well as women Why do accessory breasts develop? The causes of accessory breasts are broadly divided Innate factors class Acquired factors It is divided into. Innate factors Incomplete degeneration of the mammary ridge during the fetal stage genetic predisposition Residual hormone-sensitive tissue Acquired factors Weight gain and body fat accumulation Hormonal changes after pregnancy and childbirth Incorrect posture and underwear wearing habits What is CoolSculpting? CoolSculpting is FDA-approved Cryolipolysis It is a technology that utilizes the principle that fat cells selectively die at low temperatures of -5 to 5°C, without affecting surrounding skin, muscle, or nerve tissues. Over the course of about 2 to 3 months after the procedure, the dead fat cells are naturally expelled through the lymphatic system, and the volume of the treated area gradually decreases. Key Benefits of CoolSculpting ✔ No scars due to non-surgical and non-incisional procedure ✔ Procedure takes 35–60 minutes, allowing for immediate return to daily activities. ✔ Once dead, fat cells do not regenerate ✔ Can be applied to small areas such as armpits, flanks, and thighs Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. Do I have to have surgery if I have accessory breasts? That is not necessarily the case. Fatty accessory breasts can be improved through non-surgical methods such as CoolSculpting. However, if mammary gland tissue is involved, it is recommended to consult a specialist to determine whether surgery is necessary. Q. When do the effects of CoolSculpting start to appear? Changes begin to be felt 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure, and the final results can be confirmed approximately 2 to 3 months later. This may vary depending on individual metabolic rate. Q. Is CoolSculpting possible for underarm accessory breasts? Yes, it is possible. Using an underarm-specific applicator allows for effective treatment even in narrow areas. However, a preliminary evaluation is required as the effectiveness may vary depending on the proportion of mammary gland tissue within the accessory breast. Q. Are there any precautions after the procedure? Temporary redness, swelling, and decreased sensation may occur immediately after the procedure, but most recover within a few days. Adequate hydration and light aerobic exercise after the procedure help with fat elimination. In conclusion Underarm accessory breasts are a concern for many people, yet it is difficult to readily visit a hospital for treatment. However, significant improvement is possible with accurate identification of the cause and the selection of the appropriate procedure. CoolSculpting is a non-surgical option that is particularly effective for fatty accessory breasts, and it is preferred by many due to its quick return to daily life. We recommend that you make a decision after consulting thoroughly with a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.
