How Plastic Surgeries Are Planned By Your Doctor

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Eye Surgery, Korean Breast Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery

Patients often spend a very long time planning their own surgeries, in the sense that they try to pick the best possible clinic, the best doctor, and the best procedure for their needs. But they often find that the story can change quite a lot once they enter their consultation appointment with their surgeon. Surgeons have a very different way of looking at your procedure of course, and it is worth mentioning that understanding their point of view can really help you to understand what is going on and what you can do to improve your plastic surgery experience.

HOW YOUR BODY IS EXAMINED BEFORE SURGERY

A healthy body is very important for the surgery to go well. Although some procedures do not require a particularly high level of health, more serious procedures have a very complex recovery period, and your body needs to be prepared to handle the healing process. Having this is mind, the current health and overall state of your body is the first thing that your surgeon will examine before even booking your plastic surgery date.

You should be prepared to provide a blood sample and perhaps also a urine sample at the start of your check up. These results can give the surgeon exceptionally detailed information about your body, including your blood’s coagulation period, which measures the time it takes for your body stop the bleeding and begin to heal wounds. Although most people pass this initial phase without any problems, if you happen to get really bad results you will likely be refused for surgery at this time, until you get better. If this does happen, take your doctor’s advice very seriously and do not push to have any surgery done if the surgeon doesn’t feel that you can handle it.

There are also additional checkups that may be made, such as the current state of your respiratory organs and skin, including anything else that may have a negative effect on your body both during and after the surgery. It doesn’t take long to finish with this stage, but it is essential to ensure your safety.

HOW A SURGEON PLANS WHERE THE INCISIONS WILL BE MADE

The plan of the incisions is based on how well they will allow the surgeon to access an area inside your body, how they will change the look and feel of your skin, and how visible they will be once they heal. Although not all three of these requirements are needed for each procedure, they are part of the standard surgery plan and will be thought out in as much detail as possible. You may have also noticed that doctors often draw directly on the patient’s body during the consultation period and right before the surgery. This is a great method to allow the surgeon to have a visual representation on how the incisions will look and how big they need to be. This is especially true for procedures like Korean breast implants, which vary greatly according to the shape of the breasts and the size of the implant that will be inserted. It takes quite a bit of time and preparation to do all this, because incisions are very serious things to do on a person’s body, so a really great surgeon will make sure to plan them out in as much detail as possible.

HOW A SURGEON KNOWS WHICH PROCEDURE IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU

Patients often have the feeling that they have an abundance of procedures to choose from when they get an idea for a new look. However, the truth is that each procedure is conducted differently for each patient, and there may even be procedures that will either not be advisable for you personally, or that will not give you the results that you were hoping for.

The final decision depends on what your body looks like before the procedure has been done, because you may not need to undergo a complex procedure in order to get small changes made. So for example, if you wanted to change the shape of your nose and you think that you need to have a full nose surgery, your doctor may feel that all you really need is a nostril reduction in order to achieve it. Surgeons have a lot of experience behind them, and they can envision the final outcome of a procedure much better than a patient can.

Your doctor may also spend some time checking your skin and your bone structure in that particular area, so that they can get a sense of how much work needs to be done in order to achieve the final look. The more effort that a surgeon puts into familiarizing themselves with the current mental state of your body, the more likely they will be to prepare for the procedure accordingly, which will be great for both of you.

HOW SURGEONS IN KOREA PLAN DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHERS

Plastic surgeons in Korea have, for quite a while now, been thought of as some of the best surgeons in the world, and this is especially true for Asian patients. The extent of the advancements and innovation that has been put into plastic surgery in Korea, and that fact that people can have very open conversations about it means that it has become an environment where plastic surgery is seen as something completely normal. This understanding that comes from the Korean society has enabled both doctors and patients to achieve wonderful changes in a stress-free environment, and one that does not scrutinize them as some other countries in the world would. Korean plastic surgery has become a favorite for patients from other nationalities as well, but it is specifically Asian patients that can benefit from it the most.

Surgeons who are based in Korea, and especially those who have received their entire training there, are far more equipped with the knowledge to help patients from the same region than any other surgeons in the world. Cultural background is very important when it comes to plastic surgery because it dictates how the procedure will be carried out, since it is very important that the person’s appearance does not change from their own nationality. This isn’t set in stone of course, and there are some patients who really wish for a big physical change. However, many people really want to remain true to their heritage, so whatever surgery they decide to get must correlate to where they are from. This is more difficult to achieve for patients who live very far from their home country, because it will be difficult for them to find the right doctor for the job.

THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP THE PLANNING PROCESS

Regardless of how experienced your doctor is, your contribution as a patient can really help speed things along and provide the doctor with invaluable information about who you are and how your body has changed over the years. If you are opting for a younger look, for example, then you may want to bring in some old photographs of yourself from a period where you were happy with your appearance, because this will provide your doctor with a great reference point to start from. Additionally, do not ever lie to your doctor about your medical history as this could seriously have an effect on how your plastic surgery will turn out. Doctors are not judgmental of your past. Their sole purpose is to make you feel better and to give you the best possible advice to achieve a happy lifestyle. Be as involved in the planning process as you possibly can, and do not shy away from asking any questions that you may have. Good preparation comes from both sides, and although you will allow your doctor to make most of the technical decisions because of their expertise, you will quickly notice that doctor’s really appreciate a patient’s input as well, because it helps them plan the procedure more adequately, and to personalize it specifically for you. Always choose a doctor who knows what they are doing, but also one who will explain everything to you as well.

You Can Be Turned Down for Plastic Surgery

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Plastic Surgery, Facial Bone Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery News

Plastic surgeons don’t really have a reputation for turning people down when they wish to undergo a procedure. While most people think that this is entirely due to financial reasons, the truth is that most people wish to have very traditional procedures done that are nothing out of the ordinary, which is why they are generally very easy to get. But there are still quite a few cases where the surgeon may express serious concerns towards your plastic surgery choice, to the point where they turn you down and refuse to do the procedure. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, instead of feeling angry towards to doctor, take a moment to think about their reasoning and why someone in the plastic surgery profession would decide that you are better off not having it done.

Is Plastic Surgery Reversible?

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Eye Surgery, Asian Plastic Surgery, Facial Bone Surgery, Korean Eyelid Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery, Medical Tourism Korea, Plastic Surgery News

Plastic surgery is one of the most popular ways to alter your appearance to something that you will feel comfortable in. It has provided millions of people with a new start and with a much more comfortable life. However, there may be times in a person’s life when they wish to reverse the procedure and go back to their previous look. There are many reasons as to why someone would choose to make this reversal. Although it may in some cases be because they are not happy with the way that the procedure turned out in the long run, it is usually because they wish to make another change, or because they would like to go back to their natural appearance. To the surprise of many people, this is something that many plastic surgery procedures are able to do.

YOU CAN REVERSE ALMOST ANYTHING, BUT NOT TO THE SAME EXTENT

Technically, all plastic surgeries are reversible to a certain extent, or perhaps entirely. It all depends on the complexity of the procedure and how much of your original look was altered. Simple procedures like Korean botox, are entirely reversible because they disappear on their own. This is because it is a procedure that isn’t permanent to begin with, so the botox that was injected in your skin gradually disappears. However, other simple procedures like eyelid surgeries and skin augmentations can also be reversed to a point where they look almost exactly as they did before the surgery. However, unlike botox, these reversals also require another surgery to be done in order to be altered again. And depending on how much the surgeon is required to go back in time, this reversal procedure may be as complex as the original one.

Can You Copy Someone Else’s Plastic Surgery Look?

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Plastic Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery News

Although you are more than welcome to get your inspiration for your plastic surgery look from anywhere, it should at all times remain an ‘inspiration’, and not a conviction that you would like to copy the exact same look that some else has. There are a number of reasons why this will surely not work out well in the end, but perhaps one of the most important reasons is that you are an individual that cannot be copied by anyone else, and no one else can copy you. Before you even attempt to understand this, take it as a very positive reassurance that you are a unique person, and that whatever you decide that you would like to change about yourself should still only be done in a way that will reflect who you are and not who someone else is.

PLASTIC SURGERY CAN HELP, BUT CANNOT COPY

Regardless of what anyone else tries to tell you, plastic surgery cannot make an exact copy of someone else’s procedure on your body, because they are two completely different bodies. This should go without saying, but some of the many things that affect this are body shape, skin condition, general health and bone structure. Additionally, the way that a plastic surgery procedure heals after it has been done will also be very different among different people, which is another reason why you would never be able to get the same results as someone else. In light of this information, always bear in mind that you should try to adapt every procedure in a way that will best suit your body type. Luckily, this is something that your surgeon will already know and will likely warn you in advance if you describe your ideal procedure as ‘I want to look like this person’.

How to Adjust to Your New Plastic Surgery Look

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Plastic Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery News

Plastic surgery can be a very fulfilling time in one’s life, a chance that allows you to create a new start for yourself with a new look that erases complexes and increases self-confidence. And while many people will tell you just how much of a positive impact plastic surgery can have on your life, not many people will tell you how to adjust to this new change. What happens when everything is over and healed and you take a first look in the mirror of your new self? Do you know how to react to this change? Are you prepared enough for it to embrace it at that very moment? Not likely. So here are some things that you should take into account after having plastic surgery, and perhaps some valuable advice on how to handle and embrace this new chapter in your life.

ADJUST TO THE NEW FEELINGS

Regardless of how small or big your procedure was, the area of your body that was changed will feel different. There is no denying this. It doesn’t depend on whether the procedure was done by a professional or not but simply by the fact that the part of your body that was changed will now not only look different but will also feel like a new part of your body. This is particularly true for more extreme procedures like breast implants, but is also evident in smaller procedures as well. It may feel tighter, heavier or produce new sensations. This is not a bad thing of course, but it is something that will take a little time to get used to.

Do not try to instantly become comfortable with this new change by buying all new clothes and creating a whole new lifestyle for yourself. You must first become emotionally connected to this now improved part of your body and welcome it as your own. Many professionals suggest that meditation techniques can greatly help with this, but if you don’t want to go as far as serious meditations, just take a few moments every day to calm yourself and to focus all of your attention on this particular area. Focus on how it feels when you move your body slowly, how it feels when you don’t move at all, and how it feels when you run. This may not seem like something that people would be expected to do after plastic surgery, but it will definitely help you to get used to the change in a much shorter period of time. At this point, the way you feel about this new change is actually more important than the way it looks. You need to become physically comfortable with it before you can enjoy it on an aesthetic level. It must become so natural that you eventually reach a point where you no longer remember how you felt before you had this change done.
