8 Revision Rhinoplasty Surgery; An operation where you can get a satisfactory result by choosing a hospital carefully.

 With the recent trend of plastic surgery, a lot of people visit plastic surgery clinics to get a consultation and perform surgery to improve their appearance. Especially for rhinoplasty, the nose it located in the center of the face, so it is one of the most preferred parts for image improvement.However, if you choose to do the surgery without careful thoughts, you may not be satisfied with the results or cause side effects that may lead to a revision surgery. So it is important to choose a plastic surgery clinic very carefully. Revision rhinoplasty surgery refers to surgery as a cause of aesthetic or functional dissatisfaction after the initial rhinoplasty or body rejection of the implants used. Because it is already very common, such as tissue changes and inflammation, revision surgery is much more difficult and requires extensive pre-op analysis and experience in rhinoplasty.  For revision rhinoplasty, if the entire nose is too high or too low, the design should be done by considering the ratio of the face and the condition of skin. If the tip of the nose is pushed down or lowered, a structure that can support the tip of your nose in a smooth, strong way, and maintain the tip of your nose should be created using adipose tissue.  In addition, it is recommended that you do a revision rhinoplasty surgery after 6 months till the entire tissue is softened after the first surgery. If you have an inflammation, it is safe to consider the revision surgery after the inflammation subsides. Because it may vary depending on the condition of the tissue or the content of the surgery, it should be carried out after an accurate consultation with an experienced surgeon.  Since the revision rhinoplasty surgery requires caution to the timing and side effects, it is recommended that you do your surgery after a detailed consultation and checking if the medical facility in the hospital is sufficient, and that a high level of anesthesia system considering emergency situations is conducted, and if the medical staff has the knowledge of handling various cases.         

7 Wrinkles, the cause of skin aging; Prevent it by practicing healthy daily habits.

 As medical technology advances, life expectancy increases and everyone wants to look young and live a young life.  These days, as the “baby face”has become a famous trend, even young people in their 20s and 30s are also interested in anti-aging and wants to maintain their beauty because they tend to look younger.  But as you get older, aging is a natural phenomenon. As the elasticity of the skin decreases, the skin is prone to sagging and wrinkles. It is also caused by habits such as frowning.  Wrinkles caused by living habits are preventable, and we are going to learn about habits for anti-aging.  1. Be aware of your habits and facial expressions – The habit of raising one’s eyes with forehead and the habit of keeping one’s mouth closed and giving strength to both the outer corners of mouth intensifies wrinkles, so it is important not to make a frowning or clenched facial expression often.2. A good sleeping posture – It is important to make sure that you go to sleep with a proper posture. If you sleep on your side, wrinkles appear on your cheeks or chin, and when you sleep with your face buried in the pillow, wrinkles appear on your forehead.3. No frequent washing up + Skin moisture supplement – If you wash your face too often, the oil and moisture that acts as natural barriers to wrinkles get gone so frequent washing is not recommended. Also, it is important to moisturise your skin, so drink about 2 litres of water every day and use moisturising product after washing your face.Even if you prevent wrinkles from your daily habits, the wrinkles that you already have are hard to get rid of. Therefore, it is also a good way to keep yourself young to look forward to eliminate wrinkles through simple procedures.   

6 Facial Contour Surgery Aftercare: As Important as The Surgery Itself

Cinderella Plastic Surgery Clinic's Model, Una People with a complex about their protruding cheekbones or angular jaw often make their plans for facial contour surgery and head to South Korea, seeking to improve their appearance. However, because the recovery period after surgery can become longer and harder, or the opposite, depending on the aftercare; it is a matter that deserves close attention. Today we will hear what Cinderella Plastic Surgery’s Facial Contouring Specialist, Dr. Hong Sun Min, has to say about facial contour surgery aftercare.  Q. Why is facial contour surgery aftercare important? A. Because facial contour surgery is a surgical method that resects and shifts the position of bones; precise examination and systematic analysis are required. It is very important to select a hospital with medical staff that will take into account both the aesthetic and functional aspects of each individual patient; as well as the overall balance and harmony of the face. Postoperative care is of huge importance due to the fact that poor aftercare could slow the receding of swelling, and increase the possibility of complications. Q. Could you offer us some advice on how to take care of intraoral wounds?A. It is important to rinse the mouth with a gargle solution to aid recovery and prevent inflammation. Gargles are usually prescribed for up to two weeks after surgery; however, to avoid straining the surgical area, we recommend just holding the gargle fluid inside the mouth, and letting it flow out afterwards. Drinking plenty of water and frequent gargles after meals are quite helpful to keep intraoral wounds clean. Patients can brush their teeth starting from one week after the surgery, however, it is recommended to use a toothbrush with a small head, such as a kid’s toothbrush, while being careful not to touch the surgery area.Cinderella Plastic Surgery Clinic's Model, UnaQ. Any tips to help reduce swelling?A. The swelling and bruising begin to recede gradually starting from the 5th day after the surgery. The major swelling recedes after about 2 to 4 weeks, and the minor swelling usually subsides within a period of 3 to 6 months. After the surgery, even when lying down, keeping the head positioned higher than the heart and moving around a lot is quite helpful to reduce swelling. For the first 2 to 3 days after surgery, it is recommended to apply ice packs; and after the fourth day, switching to warm packs helps blood circulation, which in turn helps to calm the swelling.Q. What should patients keep in mind after surgery?A. For about a week after facial contour surgery, a soft, liquid-based diet is recommended, and it is better to avoid foods that are too stiff, tough or irritating until the surgery area settles down. Also, patients may experience numbness or a prickling feeling around the surgical area, these are common symptoms that can occur during recovery and should subside within six months after the surgery.Cinderella Plastic Surgery Clinic's Model, UnaQ. What would you like to say to people who are considering facial contour surgery?A. Surgery is important, of course. But in our busy modern society, recovering in time to head straight back to daily life is just as important. Neglecting surgery aftercare could mean prolonged swelling, a bumpy face contour line, or infection. For this reason, proper care is extremely important. If a patient fails to follow instructions, their treatment period is likely to extend.A good performing hospital will always be attentive to whether or not it is sufficiently aiding with recovery and after-care by following a proper program to reduce swelling, and provide systematic care after surgery. The selection of a hospital should be made only after careful consideration; given as the results and recovery period of facial contour surgery can vary greatly depending on the medical team's experience and knowledge, such as how to perform a minimum amount of dissection and keep bleeding to the minimum during surgery.

5 Things to know about Breast Augmentation

As written by Breast Augmentation Surgeon, Dr. Min Do WonCinderella Plastic Surgery Clinic Model, Jung DayoonAs summer approaches, and a growing number of people begin putting in effort to sculpt their bodies in preparation for the lighter clothing; many women are mostly targeting their chest area: trying out various breast enlargement exercises and scrolling through breast enlarging surgery reviews on the internet and apps.However, there are several cases where women make their way to the hospital, seeking to increase the volume of their breasts without having gone through any general information about breast enlargement surgery, relying only on reviews. In order to perform a safe procedure that can provide satisfactory results, the most important thing is to choose the appropriate implant type and surgical method for you and your individual needs.Breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure that alters the shape, size and contour of the breasts through the insertion of an implant; increasing the volume of the breast, which helps improve the overall body shape and proportions.The implants used for breast augmentation can be classified by their shape into teardrop and round implants. Teardrop shaped implants are designed to resemble the natural breast shape; with a flatter, thinner upper part and a rounder, more voluminous lower part. Teardrop implants are most suitable for cases where the distance from the nipple to the base of the breast is too short, or when the breasts are positioned relatively high. In order to maintain a droplet shape similar to the actual chest shape and prevent the implant from moving around inside the breast or becoming repositioned, all teardrop implants are textured by design.Round implants, on the other hand, are suitable for cases when the upper breast lacks volume, or when the distance from the nipple to the breast base is sufficient, and the breast position is normal. After surgery, a well-rounded, voluminous breast shape, with balanced volume from the upper chest to the bottom can be obtained.Currently, the most commonly used implant type is the textured type. Textured implants are covered by a grained outer shell that feels rough to the touch. These tend to stick to the body’s tissue and move together with it, allowing them to stay in the same position over time and maintain the breast shape. There is also no need for chest massages after surgery and a lower risk of capsular contracture.It is very important to choose the type of implant that best suits you through consultation with an expert. If an implant that is non-suitable were to be inserted, there could be dissatisfaction about the obtained shape, or side effects such as capsular contracture, pain, discomfort, asymmetry, etc. that may increase the possibility of needing a revision surgery; therefore, the selection should be made only after careful consideration.Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure with a relatively high level of difficulty; hence, in order to get satisfactory results at once without the need of any revision surgery, it is of utmost importance to carefully select the implant type and surgical method that best suits your particular body type and constitution.In addition, for a successful breast augmentation, it is highly recommended to take a close look at the postoperative reviews when choosing a hospital and thoroughly check things like: whether the hospital has performed the procedure on a variety of patients, whether it employs well-experienced and competent medical staff, and whether it has a well-established post-surgery care system.Author: Dr. Min Do Won, Cinderella Plastic Surgery Breast Augmentation Surgeon (Plastic Surgery Specialist)Source: News Point (http://www.pointn.net)

4 Middle Age Problems: How to Improve Eye-lid Sagging

Chief Surgeon, Dr. Jong Pil Chung With age, people’s eyelids tend to droop due to the force of gravity and the decrease in skin elasticity; also, as the under-eye skin gives in and the under eye area dilates, it makes us appear older. As the eyelid skin sags, it progressively covers the eyes, narrowing the field of vision; for this reason, this phenomenon influences not only our appearance but also our everyday life.There are also other symptoms such as the eyelashes pricking the eyes on a regular basis, which has a negative effect on eyesight; contact dermatitis can also occur when the sagging skin around your eyes begins to fold up.  Symptoms like these can be improved through plastic surgery. By performing upper and lower blepharoplasty; an aesthetic, rejuvenating effect and a functional improvement of vision can both be achieved at the same time.  Upper blepharoplasty refers to a surgical method to remove and pull the eyelid’s excess skin and fat that have stretched out due to aging, in order to improve eyelid drooping and its symptoms while creating a clearer, distinct eye shape. Through this method, the original field of vision can be recovered, and accompanying symptoms such as dermatitis can be treated, relieving the discomfort experienced in daily life.  Depending on the patient’s individual circumstances, another possible treatment method would be an eyebrow lifting procedure to pull the sagging skin of the eyelids while keeping the eyelid line intact; it is recommended to consult with an expert in order to select and proceed with the most favorable method for the patient.  In addition, if the muscles that work to open the eyes have weakened due to aging, a ptosis correction procedure can be conducted as well to recover the strength around the eye area; with a result of treating symptoms like problems with eye opening and correcting the formation of wrinkles around the forehead.  On the other hand, lower blepharoplasty is a surgical method to remove a moderate amount of bulging fat from the under eyes, then relocate it while pulling the sagging skin under the eyes to remove wrinkles. This surgery smoothens eye-bags and helps correct the dark circles caused by excess under-eye fat.  Since the results of both upper and lower blepharoplasty vary depending on the condition of the individual's skin and their degree of aging, it is important to go through sufficient consultation with a specialist to determine if these procedures are suitable for you. The most advisable thing to do is to go through with the procedure only after careful consideration and determining the results that could be expected from the surgery; and possible postoperative complications, such as scarring and asymmetry.  Since middle-aged people often suffer from conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, it is more important than anything else to strive for a safety and perform surgery only after a thorough medical examination.  Credits: Jong Pil Chung, Cinderella Plastic Surgery Chief Surgeon (Plastic Surgery Specialist)     

3 Tips To Quick Deswelling by Cinderella Clinic

Hey Cindy Fam! Guess who is back to give you some tips to attain quick deswelling. Now mind you, doing these things does not mean that you WILL de-swell completely within a few weeks, your swelling will reduce significant and big-swellings are reduced within 3~6 months after surgery, but you have to keep in mind that the full recovery takes 6 months~1 year. Now, let's see what are the few things that will help you fasten your de-swelling process! 1. Walking, A LOT.2. Drinking a tremendous amount of pumpkin chai latte. Jokes. Pumpkin juice, real and raw.3. Sleeping upright with your face looking towards the ceiling.4. Taking all your medication, properly and on time, trust me this is REALLY important.5. Avoiding alcohol, salty and spicy food for a good 1~2 months! Now, these are pretty simple things to remember but when you are not used to sleeping upright and if you do not fancy pumpkin juice, it is definitely going to be a challenge. It would be for me, i'm really not a fan of pumpkin;; Now, walking actually helps a lot with deswelling because you are letting your blood circulation flow properly instead of constantly lying down/sitting which is a big nono. Many people feel like walking wouldn’t really help but you’ll be surprised how much it works for deswelling. I bet now all your curiosity to why you always see people in bandages and casts walking around the streets of Korea has been answered. Yes friend, it’s because they are trying to de-swell.   Pumpkin juice. Do i need to say more?Well yes, pumpkin juice/porridge works really well for de-swelling and de-bruising but I would like to say, DO NOT take too many packs of pumpkin juice in a day. Keep it at 2, maximum 3 packs a day and you should be fine. Consuming too much pumpkin juice can make your tummy feel uneasy and you may feel nauseous. After your surgery is done, we would normally highly advise you to only sleep upright facing the ceiling instead of lying down flat and/or on your sides. This is because when you lie down flat, you are not allowing your blood circulation to flow properly at the areas of your surgery and also, you would not be allowing your bruises and swells to have breathing space and it would only swell more, and it might also cause bleeding because you are not allowing it to be at its place. Also, try not to move around while sleeping. A hassle, i know. This is gonna be a ‘yeah, duh’ moment but PLEASE always take your medication on time. You came into the clinic for surgery knowing that the post-surgery treatment has to be followed strictly. Most of the medication provided are painkillers with antibiotics, alongside eye/nose ointment cream needed for patients who have done eyes or rhinoplasty surgery. We also do provide emergency medication, but DO NOT take them without speaking or getting permission from the clinic first! Capiche? Capiche.  The last but not least tip would be to avoid alcohol, salty and spicy food for at least 1 to 2 months to avoid severe swelling/bruises and also inflammation/infection at the surgical areas. Avoiding smoking cigarettes would be great as well because you don’t want contaminated smoke going into your surgical areas, because it can cause an infection/inflammation.Now, these are pretty simple steps, we know.But we are just helping our patients, potential patients, and readers who may not be aware of what should be done to help with de-swelling! We hope this blogpost has helped you and has answered your question, thus making you as happy as we are, writing this post! Till next time, Cindy Fam :) xx,Cindy Clinic.         

2 The Secret of the Baby-faced Plastic Surgery by Dr. Do Won Min, the Specialist for Anti-aging

Fat Grafting + Thread Lifting, Anti-aging EffectDr. Do Won MinDr. Do Won Min is a specialist in breast surgeries and anti-aging. Not only is the surgeon's excellent surgical skills recognized in the medical industry, but he is also popular with patients for breast augmentation and anti-aging. He has published various medical theses and won countless awards. He excels in breast surgeries and anti-aging.Many customers are interested in the baby-faced plastic surgery these days. Baby-faced plastic surgery is known for the ability to return to the desired age and look young through various methods of surgical skills. Dr. Min, the specialist of anti-aging, has mentioned that the reason why people look older than their age mostly is due to the deep nasolabial folds. Nasolabial folds are long wrinkles from the tip of nasal base to the edge of lips. This is a typical aging symptom that has caused the skin to sink. Currently, many patients are improving their nasolabial folds through non-incisional method of surgery. Therefore, it is also good to improve with fat grafting and thread lifting.Additionally, Dr. Min also explained about fat grafting and thread lifting. Fat grafting is a procedure to extract unnecessary fat from fat-rich areas such as the thighs and abdomen, extracting only pure fat through centrifuges, and injecting the appropriate amount of pure fat extracted in certain areas which requires volume on the face. Dr. Min said, "Although surgical areas vary depending on age group, the most popular areas would be the cheek and nasolabial wrinkles. People with severely deep wrinkles and drooping skin have a limitation by resolving them with only fat grafting. In this case, the patients have to do it with thread lifting for more dramatic changes.Thread lifting is an operation that uses collagen threads to improve deep and severe wrinkles. It is a surgery to inject thread into the face, but it's different from the principle of a normal injection to remove wrinkles. The injection is to make the facial wrinkles flat by filling out the hollow area. Thread lifting is used to pump the affected skin into the surgical area using absorb-able collagen threads. It improves wrinkles and aging.Dr. Min said that the final thing you could do if you improve the hollow and drooping skin, you can undergo both fat grafting and thread lifting. Not only does it have an amazing effect on the nasolabial folds, but it also has effect of improving the facial structure. The patients undergo local sedation as an anesthesia which is less harmful than general anesthesia. You can complete a three-dimensional, voluminous facial line with non-incisional method. Above all, it is important to keep in mind that the procedures are depending on each individuals’ body condition. So, if you undergo excessive surgery which you don’t really need to do, it leads to severe side effects.The more you know, right? :)xx,Cindy Clinic.

Now, the great thing about makeup is that it goes beyond gender anyone is able to do it so, shall we start with the various types of colour correctors we would acquire?  Here is an important tip for red/orange undertone colour correctors: Salmon tones are more suitable for people with fairer skin. Mango-coloured tone would work well for darker skin.Here is an important tip for red/orange undertone colour correctors: Salmon tones are more suitable for people with fairer skin. Mango-coloured tone would work well for darker skin.For bruises which green-yellow in colour, you would have to find a colour corrector with purple undertones! Now that we have our colour correctors sorted out, you would have to definitely make sure that the primer you use, suits your skin so that the make-up is able to stick for a long amount of time without you having the need to constantly retouch your make-up and bruise.There are various types and brands of pre-makeup primer so you have to always be sure that you are using the right one that matches your skin well. Also, the same case would go for the foundations and concealers. Fenty Beauty concealers and foundation are known to have the best coverage but not all of us are able to purchase them, or we have different preferences, am I right?  Now, for those who are familiar with the make-up routine, salut. For those who are not make-up enthusiasts, we may know the basics, but trust me, I had my struggles figuring out the ways of using a concealer. Yes, believe it, babes.The steps are pretty simple: spray/apply on a decent amount of make-up primer on your face and also your neck to be able to apply your foundation in equal amounts on your face and your neck to make sure it is in the same shade.After spraying/applying the primer on your face and neck, pull out your colour corrector according to the colour of your bruises, as mentioned above. Now that you’ve gotten your colour corrector out, apply it onto the bruise and make sure it covers them fully, to block out the colour of the bruise completely.Done applying the colour corrector? Great! Now all you have to do is get your foundation and put a decent amount on the back of your palm, and use a brush/beauty blender (to be honest, the beauty blender works best; trust me, I’ve tried.) to apply spots of the foundation on your face and go on to blend them to your skin and make sure that they are not patchy.To give it a smoother look, it would be best to make your beauty blender wet so that it could absorb more of the foundation and it would also make applying the foundation way smoother than with a dry beauty blender. Normally, beauty blenders work better because unlike the brush, it does not leave any streaks on the face which could look like wrinkles. Now, who would like that, right?After the foundation has settled down, it would be time to bring up the magical item we all know as a concealer. Now, concealers are usually applied at areas such as under the eye, at the chin, at the dark circles and also at the corners of the nose, but in this case, we would obviously have to apply them onto the bruises. Now, some of ya’ll maybe ask why would there be a need for applying concealers once the foundation has already been applied, but in many cases, foundations only would not completely cover the bruising and sometimes you could see little marks of the bruises still.Ugly? Nah, just patchy and colourful, in my own words.Apply the concealer on the bruises and use a concealer brush (brushes that are dense would be the best option to blend out the concealer) to blend out all the concealer cream to make your face look bruise-less and less streaky. If the brush has made your concealer streaky, just use the wet beauty blender to blend it out and settle it down.Once your concealer sits fully, then you would be able to tell if you need to add on a little more or if it looks perfect enough.Not too hard, is it? It will not be as hard a typing all of these down, trust me! I’m so lucky I didn’t get a writer’s block or ya’ll wouldn’t even be seeing this blog post.  Now, if you’ve read through everything, come on, you obviously would have to stay for the perfect ending. Where are you hiding your setting spray? Dig it out and spray to your heart’s content and let it dry and sit perfectly on your face (I personally use Too Faced’s The Hangover Makeup Primer. Yes, it is also a setting spray, good for lazy people like me)! Look into your mirror and stare into the perfection that you have made on your own. Now, put on a pretty outfit and enjoy your day because your make-up is flawless baby! F L A W L E S S.Do you guys have other ways to how you block your bruises?
