The Basics on the Korean Plastic Surgery Laser Peel Procedure

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Facial Plastic Surgery

A Korean plastic surgery laser peel is a type of skin resurfacing procedure, which aims to make skin stronger and look better. It can be used for various skin defects such as irregular skin surfaces, scarring, wrinkles, face-lifts, and any other changes that need to be made to make skin healthier.

What does a Korean plastic surgery laser peel include?

This treatment uses laser energy to remove a layer of skin that is considered damaged, or needs to be changed. A Korean plastic surgeon will consult the patient on how many layers need to be removed before the skin looks good again. A laser peel is typically used to remove thin layers of skin, in areas where there is not a lot of damage. It is especially useful for improving the appearance of wrinkles and also for removing acne scars.

What types of laser exist?

There is a choice between a laser that uses CO2 and a laser that uses erbium. The CO2 laser is the older option in anti-aging surgery in Korea. It uses short light wave energy to target a specific spot on the skin, or it can also be set to a continuous beam if the skin problem is more serious. It is used to treat scars, wrinkles and warts, although other skin deformities can be treated with it as well. The recovery time for this procedure is about two weeks, and patients are generally advised not to go into direct sunlight during the period of recovery in order to avoid potential skin discoloration.

The erbium laser is another type of Korean plastic surgery laser peel, which is normally applied to the face and neck for the removal of deeper scars and wrinkles. It is more effective on people with darker skin, however, the health benefits fit everyone. This type of laser has less heat damage than the CO2, less redness and a shorter recovery time of about a week.

Both procedures take from 30 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on how delicate the skin problem is and how much effort needs to be put into it to remove the scarring. All patients are supplied with bandages after the procedure is over to ensure that there will be no infections from the outside environment, and so that the small wounds created by the laser can heal quickly.

Plastic surgery statistics show that laser peels are very popular methods for improving skin imperfections. However, despite their popularity and quick application period, they are still categorized under surgical procedures and they need to be treated with the utmost care. Before going through a laser peel take every possible moment to speak to your doctor and to choose the right laser procedure for you. Once the laser peel has been completed, make sure that you are very responsible during your recovery time. Skin takes some time to heal after any procedure, and it will heal much quicker if it is treated delicately and with patience.

What You Need to Know about Korean Plastic Surgery for Neck Lines

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Facial Plastic Surgery

A sagging neck line is certainly not a good look, and it is one of the first procedures that people choose to go through when they are thinking about plastic surgery. Korean plastic surgery for neck lines is a well developed procedure that aims to help clients in different age groups.

How to tell if you have a loose neck line?

As you age, your skin becomes looser, softer, and it starts to look like it is sagging a little bit. Not everyone minds this change in their appearance, but for those who do, getting rid of a bad neck line will make a great difference to their overall appearance. If you look at your profile in the mirror, you will notice that there is an area underneath your chin where your skin does not look tight enough. If you can pull a fair amount of this skin with your fingers, then you have a sagging neck line. Facial Plastic Surgery is the best way to get rid of this, and Korean plastic surgery for neck lines is one of the well-developed methods available. A sagging neck can occur for various reasons. The main cause is age, although sun damage and excessive fat accumulation in that area can cause a sagging neck as well.

What can you do about it?

If you wish to have a Korean plastic surgery for neck lines, you first need to discover whether or not you are the right candidate for such a procedure. Even the best plastic surgeons in Korea will not advise you to undergo this surgery if you really don’t have to. However, if the doctor notices that positive changes could be made to your features, they will explain in detail what you can expect from the surgery. In order to maintain a natural look, you will likely be advised by your doctor to only remove the part of the skin that is in the worst condition. Once this part has been dealt with, the remainder of your skin will work to revitalise itself, to realistic proportions of course. Cosmetic surgery in Korea aims to help you look great, but without taking away your natural features in the process. Before the operation takes place, your surgeon will marks the areas that will undergo the procedure so that you can get an overall feel for the changes that will be made. This is the perfect time to carefully discuss your wishes with your doctor in order to make sure that you are both on the same page when it comes to the operation. You can also bring in either photographs of other people whose necks you like, or you can bring older pictures of yourself before your neck began to sag. Older pictures of you would be the most natural way to go, although you will also have the freedom of creating any image of your neck to your liking, provided that your doctor agrees with your decision.

The ‘Cute’ Asian Dimple Creation Surgery

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Facial Plastic Surgery

While many plastic surgeries are considered scary, the Asian dimple creation surgery is, well, a ‘cute’ one. In Asian folklore, dimples suggest good fortune and fertility. Even in the West they are considered cute and slightly unusual, and there has never really been a negative connotation associated with someone having dimples. There is no specific culture or nation that has more dimples than another; it is simply a facial feature that sometimes occurs in people because of the structure of their facial muscles.

How ‘cute’ is the actual procedure?

The Asian dimple creation surgery is a very short procedure, which only takes about half an hour to complete. The patient can ask for any number of dimples to be created, however, the general understanding is that there will be one dimple on each side of the face. Having more than one dimple on each side of the face can look very distracting and unnatural. The doctor creates the dimples by making a connection between the skin and the cheek muscle, so that when a patient smiles the new tissue connection will create a dimple.

When the connection is made, the wound is closed with a suture. Because this is a wound inside the mouth, it heals very quickly and the only remaining scar from the inside of the mouth is the actual formation of the dimple. The cost of a plastic surgery vacation starts from about a thousand dollars, while the cost of Asian dimple creation surgery varies from one clinic to another. But because it is such a small operation, it is generally not expensive. A local anaesthetic is enough for the whole surgery, and the patient can resume normal activities as soon as the surgery is over. There will probably be some uncomfortable sensations for the next couple of days when eating, but this will stop very quickly once the small wound heals.

Is it reversible?

The procedure is completely reversible, especially during the first few weeks if the patient is unhappy with the result for whatever reason. In order to prevent any potential unhappiness with the outcome however, the patient should make sure that they do indeed wish to have dimples. It is important to remember that, even though this is a very simple operation, these artificial dimples may not look as natural as real ones.

There is a very clear connection between plastic surgery and self esteem, and even something as small as a dimple can make someone feel better about their appearance. This is one of the safest and most reversible procedures available, so future patients should rest assured that they will not be put through a lot of pain or a difficult recovery afterwards. The main aim of Korean Plastic Surgery is to make people happy, and to increase the confidence that they have in their body. South Korea is one of the most surgically advanced countries in the world, and its specialists are developing their skills more and more every year. Many people from other countries also come to Korea to undergo their own surgeries, because they may feel that the Korean doctors have more experience in their work.

Having a Mini Facelift in Korea

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Facial Plastic Surgery

A mini facelift in Korea is one of the newest ways to give your face fresh look without having to undergo a complex procedure. Unlikely the traditional full face lift, the mini version only corrects some of the minor changes that the patient wishes to make. The mini facelift in Korea is generally done for people who only experience sagging in the middle regions of their face and do not require a complete lift.

How does a mini facelift help?

Some of the most noticeable benefits of a mini facelift are a younger appearance, emotion stability and better looking skin. Emotion stability is particularly a good advantage because as we age our skin begins to sag, making the facial muscles somewhat harder to see. Tired of the countless and weightless claims by anti-aging products, many people choose to refresh their face with a face lift. This is done under different levels of anaesthesia, depending on how complex they are. Because the mini face lift is a small procedure, it is done under local anaesthesia, which is good because it means that the patient will recovery quicker.

How to prepare for the surgery

There are a few things that the patient can do in order to make the mini facelift surgery more successful and easier to heal. You should start by letting your doctor know if you suffer from any allergies or skin conditions so that there will be no surprises for the doctor once the surgery starts. Some allergies also prohibit the use of certain medicine, so your surgeon needs to know what can and cannot be used. Patients are also required to stop taking Aspirin two days before the surgery in order for the blood to coagulate at the right level, and also to stop smoking two days before the surgery if they are smokers. All of this is to help the blood form at the right consistency so that the wounds can heal easily and without complications. You should not consume any meals approximately twelve hours prior to the surgery, and you should not be wearing any makeup during the surgery either. If all of these suggestions are followed correctly, the mini facelift in Korea will be successful and it will give the patient the best results possible. The full recovery can take up to seven days to complete, after which the patient is free to continue with their normal daily routine. However, because the surgery involves facial tissue, there will be a number of facial exercises that the doctor will ask you to do. These exercises will help keep the skin elastic, increase blood flow, and reduce any swelling that may appear. Korean Plastic Surgery has procedures that have been developed to suit almost any patient. While there is no surgery in the world that can stop the aging process entirely, there are plenty of other options for those who wish to make themselves look younger and more vital.

Before Getting Dimple Creation Surgery in Korea

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Facial Plastic Surgery

You might be thinking about getting cute-looking dimples on your face, but before that, you may wish to understand the 5 simple facts on dimple creation surgery in Asia, and some before-surgery preparations.

Consult your Doctor

Having a preoperative consultation with your doctor is advised; this is the time where your doctor will be reviewing your medical history with you. By checking up on any pre-existing medical conditions and allergies that you may have, as well as any medications that you may be on, this will determine whether the surgery is a safe option, for you.

The Procedure

So, how is it done? In general, it is a short and minimally invasive surgery where your doctor will mark the locations of your dimples, and then you will be given local anesthesia to the inside of your cheeks – though, you will be awake during the procedure itself. After which, the insides of your cheeks are the area that will be operated on; a small portion of your cheek muscle and fat tissue will be removed. Note that no external incisions will be made. Finally, they stitch it up all together with a suture and the inside of your cheek will be closed. This suture is dissolvable, so that means that in a few days, it will disappear, leaving you with a concave look on the outside of your cheeks – forming your dimples!

Required After-care

Though it is recognized as a minimally invasive and simple procedure, there have been cases of complications of dimple creation – these things happen, but they are said to be an outlier.

Fortunately, the majority do not face such complications! However, there are some post-operative things to take note of:

•  Your age, physical condition and the quality of your post-operative care determines how smooth and speedy your recovery will be.
•  Normally, you will be prescribed with antibiotics, mouth rinses as well as pain medication.
• After your anesthesia wears off, you may certainly eat! Though, It is advised that you avoid hard to chew and spicy food. Stick to the soft foods.
• One to two weeks is the average time it takes for your surgical wounds to heal.

 

So Why Get Dimple Creation Surgery in Korea?

If you were considering double eyelid surgery or breast augmentation as an Asian woman or man, getting it done in Korea seems like a no-brainer solution. But, these are dimples! Honestly, dimple creation surgery in Korea is not very different to how it would be done in other parts of the world.

However, Korean plastic surgery statistics continue to reflect the fact that South Korea is viewed as a top destination for cosmetic surgery; in fact, the Chinese had beat America in having the highest number of medical tourists to have entered South Korea in 2012 – with a total of 32,503 and 30,582 medical tourists, respectively. It may not offer a uniquely Asian procedure with creating dimples, but it’s definitely regarded as a hot spot for beauty purposes.
