Who Needs a Korean Plastic Surgery Neck Lift?

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Uncategorized

A person’s neck is one of the first places that show ageing, which is why the Korean plastic surgery neck lift is specifically aimed to help patients who want their necks to look firmer and younger. A sagging neck is normal for everyone once they pass the age of forty, because the skin becomes much looser, especially if the person does not exercise a healthy diet and a healthy body.

Are you a candidate for this operation?

A sagging neck is not a health issue, so whether you wish to undergo this anti-aging surgery in Korea or not depends on how wish for your neck to look. Patients report a sagging neck when they notice that their jaw line is not as pronounced as it used to be. This usually ends up giving the whole face a more rounded shape, which is not something that patients deem as attractive. However, although a sagging neck if most often a sign of age, some patients have it genetically and from a much younger age. Both cases can be solved surgery, and they also both be done on both men and women for very positive results.

Once you have decided to go ahead with the Korean plastic surgery neck lift, you will need to discuss the whole procedure very carefully with your doctor. It is important that doctor is familiar with the entire medical history of the patient so that he can accurately assess whether or not you are healthy enough to undergo the surgery. The patient must also have a realistic view of what the outcome of the neck lift will look like. Although great changes can be made for the better, doctors will always aim to leave out any excess operations in order to make the patient look as natural as possible.

Pre-surgery

There are different ways that a neck lift procedure can be done, and the latest surgery trends have enabled doctors to customize the operation to fit each individual patient. During the consultation period, there will be a discussion on the possible side effects, as well as where the areas of incisions will be made. Patients must pay close attention to this information because it will help them greatly later on in the healing period.

Different areas in your face and neck will be marked up and they will serve as guidelines for the entire operation. The neck lift is performed under general anaesthesia, and patients are also given IV fluids and are connected to monitors that will be tracking your vital signs. Everything is very well organized, and a team of doctors will be overseeing your operation. Once the excess skin is removed, your surgeon will tighten the remaining muscle to improve the look of the neck, and will then close all of the incisions.

As part of the recovery period for this cosmetic surgery in Korea, patients will have a pressure dressing wrapped around the top of their head and underneath their chin to stop any unwanted movement. After about three weeks, the patient is expected to heal completely and to be able to resume with their normal activities.

Brazilian Man Undergoes Surgery to Get Asian Eyes

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Uncategorized

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to hear that someone has done Korean double eyelid surgery.  But, this is probably a first in the record: Recently, a blue-eyed, blond-haired Brazilian man had went under the knife to look Korean; he had underwent at least ten surgeries to get Asian eyes, he told the Korea Herald. Besides the ten surgical procedures for his eyes as well as other less invasive procedures, totalling $3,100, he has also began to wear coloured contact lenses. The unnamed man asked for his name to not be revealed, for the sake of privacy and protection for his family from the Internet’s eyes. He was originally from Brazil and came to Korea as an exchange student. After spending time in Korea, he was inspired by how common plastic surgery was.

“Koreans have many surgeries to modify the shape of their eyes and become more like Westerners. It was easy to tell when one of them had done it, walking on the street wearing sunglasses and a surgical mask,” he told the Korea Herald.

“I have no regrets, and I don’t intend to have any more procedures,” he concluded. While many people and the media seem to think that the Oriental look is not as beautiful, this man seems to be happy that he has gotten the right look for himself.

It’s a common misconception that Koreans are obsessed with modifying their bodies. While the culture is indeed more open towards cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery statistics show that popular procedures in Korea involve the skin and hair.

However, not all stories having to do with cosmetic surgery have a pleasant outcome. One just has to remember the cautionary tales of an obsessed model, having injected cooking oil into her face as a last resort. Other times, it’s not some gaping hole beckoning a person to keep getting surgery work done, but simply, a healthful but uninformed mind. That is why, it’s been reiterated on this blog many times now, that pre-surgery and post-surgery research is very important. How is this procedure done, and are there any health ailments that will threaten a good outcome? Which surgeon or clinic should one go to, for a specific procedure? Which is the best for you? You might find some answers over at the TouchUp Community. On another note, we are glad to share the good news with you; the TouchUp Community reaches 3000 Members as of this week.

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Uncategorized

What is Hair transplant surgery?

In today’s day and age, hair restoration is made possible; whether it is from prolonged baldness borne out of illness or the inevitable, hair loss from aging. There are various types of, hair transplant surgery procedures that one can undergo, as well as many sorts of alternatives to the surgery itself. All in all, hair transplant surgery is a cosmetic procedure in treating hair loss by grafting hair-bearing skin from healthier-growing areas of the scalp to the thinning areas that require the extra help.

There are at least three types of hair transplant surgery procedures, which one you might undergo would depend on your individual needs and concerns from your surgeon. They are but may not be limited to, (1) Hair transplant graft, (2) Flap surgery and (3) Scalp reduction surgery.	Patience is necessary as it may take up to nine months before hair takes root and begins to fill in the areas worked on.
Psychologically prepare yourself: Bruising, scabbing, swelling, numbing, throbbing, bandaging and a feeling of tightness in scalp may occur depending on the extent of your surgery.	Once hair starts to regrow, it should look natural as it is transplanted in the natural direction of your hair growth.
Thicker and denser hair will produce better results.	Realistic expectations: Even after the procedure, results may not be as flattering as it could be. Several “touch-up” hair transplant surgery procedures may be required to improve overall look or to reach your desired, voluminous outcome.
