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?

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.

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...

Everything You Need to Know Before Getting a Nose Job in Korea [Jayjun Plastic Surgery Q&A] Today, we have compiled clear answers from a Jayjun Plastic Surgery specialist in Korea to frequently asked questions by patients who are considering rhinoplasty.  Please note that surgical methods and outcomes may vary depending on the individual, so use this information as a general guide. Q1. Can the nasal tip be raised and improved naturally using only septal cartilage? Yes, it can be possible, although it depends on individual conditions. In the past, surgeries were done using only septal cartilage, and even now, if the conditions allow, natural and sophisticated results can be achieved with septal cartilage alone. However, if the nose is very small or upturned (short nose), cartilage alone may not provide enough support, so a stronger structure is needed to fix the tip. In such cases, rib cartilage (autologous or donated) may be used. In principle, if there are no major nasal issue...
