Lower Eyelid Revision Surgery, When Should It Be Done? (Timing and Method)

Lower Eyelid Revision Surgery, When Should It Be Done? (Timing and Method) Today, I’d like to talk about lower eyelid revision surgery, as explained by Dr. Kang Hyungjoo from Jayjun Plastic Surgery. Many people undergo lower eyelid surgery to smooth the under-eye area and create a younger appearance. However, as time passes, some may start worrying again. So, when and in what cases is lower eyelid revision surgery needed? 👁 Lower Eyelid Surgery, Starting with the Basics As we age, the fat pockets under the eyes sag, and the surrounding membrane, muscles, and skin also loosen. This results in shadowing like dark circles and an uneven appearance. 👉The lower eyelid surgery process goes as follows: The boundary area where the ligaments and muscles attach is released to create a natural flow, the upper fat is repositioned downward to fill hollow areas, excess muscle is tightened by securing it to the periosteum, and in some cases, only a portion of excess skin is removed. 📌 Three Situati...

Solve Your Double Chin! Achieve a Defined V-Line with Liposuction and Muscle Tightening

 Solve Your Double Chin! Achieve a Defined V-Line with Liposuction and Muscle Tightening These days, regardless of the season, many people desire a slimmer V-line facial shape. Especially with selfies and video calls becoming part of daily life, interest in facial contours has increased significantly compared to before. However, no matter how much weight is lost, the double chin under the jaw often remains unresolved. In fact, as facial fat reduces, sagging under the chin or muscles can become more noticeable, making the face look dull. There are many causes of a double chin. It’s not just due to weight gain—aging-related skin laxity, muscle sagging, genetic factors, and daily posture habits (like forward head posture) all play a role. Once developed, a double chin is difficult to improve with exercise or dieting alone. Especially when muscle laxity, not fat, is the cause, even with weight loss, the jawline remains undefined. That’s why many people today are considering facial lipo...

Under-Eye Aegyo: Filler or Fat Grafting?

Under-Eye Aegyo: Filler or Fat Grafting? I t’s no exaggeration to say that the eye area defines more than 90% of your facial impression. That’s why natural and pretty under-eye aegyo lines are getting a lot of attention lately. But when you actually start looking into the procedure, you can’t help but wonder, “Is filler better, or is fat grafting the right choice?” So today, we’ll cover everything people are curious about regarding under-eye aegyo procedures! Among them, we’ll compare the two most popular options — filler and fat grafting — covering everything from longevity, naturalness, recovery time, and who they’re best suited for. 💡 First, where is aegyo filler injected?

Both filler and fat are injected in the same area with the same goal. T...

Ulthera Prime vs. Traditional Ulthera: What's the Difference?

 Ulthera Prime vs Traditional Ulthera :  What's the Difference? As we age, skin elasticity gradually declines, and volume in the mid-face starts to sink or sag, naturally deepening nasolabial folds. These changes make the overall impression look tired and older, which becomes a major concern for many people. One of the first solutions that often comes to mind is a lifting procedure. If you’re into skincare, you’ve probably heard of Ulthera at least once. Ulthera is a lifting treatment that improves wrinkles and skin laxity using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology, delivering thermal energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production and achieve lifting effects—making it very popular. Recently, a more advanced version called Ulthera Prime has been introduced, attracting a great deal of attention. So today, we’ll explore how Ulthera Prime differs from the original version and what to expect before and after the procedure. W ho is Ulthera Prime for? Ulthe...

How Long Does Facial Fat Grafting Last?

 How Long Does Facial Fat Grafting Last? You may have had a moment looking in the mirror thinking, "Why do I look so tired?" or "Why does my face look so aged?" Even after getting enough sleep and applying flawless makeup, your face might still look dull, and the once-bright impression may seem to have faded, causing stress. When this tired appearance continues, it can even lead to unnecessary feelings of depression. Instead of brushing it off as just a mood, it’s good to check what changes may have happened to your face. Among them, volume loss in areas like the under-eyes, cheeks, and forehead is often the main cause. Especially volume loss in the central face, like under-eye hollows or nasojugal grooves, can make you look tired and older overall. When the under-eyes and area below the cheekbones hollow out, creating dark shadows and reduced skin elasticity, even the best makeup can't fully fix the issue. When these changes become bothersome, facial fat grafti...
