Transconjunctival fat reposition

What you need to know

before transconjunctival fat reposition

to improve under-eye condition!

There are many people who are worried about the fat and dark circles under their eyes. From the mid-20s, our skin begins to age around the eyes, and when we reach our 30s, the aging speed increases, so we can feel it much faster. In particular, it is the fat under the eyes that is bumpy or bulging and makes you look tired and old. As the lower eyelid tissue that covers the under eye loosens, the elasticity of the skin decreases and the power to support the fat under the eyes decreases, making the fat under the eyes looks more visible.

In the case of congenital fat mass, this phenomenon also occurs in younger people. In addition, people with thin skin may have dark circles with dark blue glow as thick blood vessels are visible under their eyes.

Transconjunctival fat reposition is the method to improve the condition. It rearranges the bumpy fat to flatten it above the bone of the lower eyelids. This method is a highly preferred operation since the skin incision is not visible and the procedure is relatively simple compared to other operation.

However, it is important to know the precautions and side effects of the surgery. Occasionally, the under eye condition looks rather hollow, there’s still left bulging fat, and wrinkles become more severe even after transconjunctival fat reposition.

Transconjunctival fat reposition is a principle of filling ligaments of the tear troughs (the part that is hollowed like a furrow under the eyes) using the fat under eye eyes. If the fat under the eyes, which is used as this method, is excessive, bulging may remain after surgery. In this case, there are methods to remove the remaining fat through revision or to strengthen the orbital septum, which serves as a support so that the fat under the eyes does not come out.

Conversely, if the transconjunctival fat reposition is overcorrected, revision can be performed depending on the condition, and the hollow parts can be filled with autologous fat or filler. Above all, to prevent such side effects, whether there is a fat bag under the eye before surgery to know if it is necessary to remove or rearrange the fat, whether there is only sagging skin or muscle without the fat, whether it can be improved through an incision inside of the lower eyelids, and whether skin or tissues should be excised together as well as fat reposition should be carefully checked with a specialist.

Also, since transconjunctival fat reposition is not a surgery to remove wrinkles around the eyes, lower blepharoplasty or a more suitable procedure should be considered to improve the wrinkles.

Thread Lifting + Liposuction

Thread Lifting and Liposuction Together

Synergy Effect!

Changes due to aging occur simultaneously from the bones to the skin. The changes that take place inside are just invisible. There are many causes of visible wrinkles and sagginess, and the most well-known reasons are changes in the volume of the face and sagginess caused by gravity. As we get older, the skin loses its elasticity, just like the wind slowly falls out of a balloon. In addition, as the skin is pulled down by gravity, the nasolabial folds deepen and a grumpy look appears.

The basic of anti-aging is to fill the hollow parts through fat graft or filler and improve the sagging parts through lifting. Botox is also used to prevent more wrinkles around the eyes, brows, and forehead where there is a lot of movement. The main cause of aging is different for each part, so accurate diagnosis is very important.

Dr. Jaesang Barn from Banobagi Plastic Surgery Clinic said “Lifting includes procedures using ultrasound or high frequency, such as Ulthera and Thermage, thread lifting, and incision lifting. Each method has clear effects, limitations, advantages and disadvantages. In order to compensate for the shortcomings and maximize the effect, several procedures are performed together and differently approached like mini lifting.”

Thread lifting has the advantage of being relatively simple and quick recovery without incision. However, without considering the shape of the face and the aging status, thread lifting itself will not be effective. For example, if the cheekbones are wide and the chin is short, face may look wide when the tissue is pulled with a thread because the sagging flesh will be pushed upward to the cheekbones. Moreover, if there's also buccal fat sagging, thread lifting will result rather awkward look than before. In this case, buccal fat removal and fat graft to the short chin will improve the proportion of the face and also lifting effect.

Dr. Barn also said “Liposuction and fat graft do not require separate incision and suture, and can be performed simultaneously with thread lifting. However, if the skin is thin or fat is excessively extracted from a certain small part, skin may become uneven. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a plastic surgeon who has many clinical experience and can accurately diagnose patient's condition.”

Nasolabial Folds, What are the points to note when wanting to improve it?

Nasolabial Folds, 

What are the points to note when wanting to improve it?

As you age, the wrinkles around your mouth are just as concerned as the wrinkles around your eyes. In particular, the marionette wrinkles and nasolabial folds are a representative aging process. Nasolabial folds are from the nose to the outer corners of the mouth, and marionette line is the wrinkles from the outer corners of the mouth toward the chin.

We will look ten years younger than our actual age without the wrinkles on the skin. However, nasolabial and marionette wrinkles are not easy to treat. It is difficult to see effects only with cosmetics or self-care. Accordingly, there is increasing interest in improving wrinkles with medical help. Botox and filler are easy and economical treatment to improve wrinkles around the mouth. It is especially good to use a long-lasting filler for nasolabial folds that have a lot of movement whenever you eat, drink, or speak.

If there is a limit to the effect with botox or filler, a lifting procedure can be considered. If you are young or if the wrinkles are not severe, laser lifting such as Thermage or Ulthera would be a good option. Laser lifting allows returning to daily life immediately after the procedure, and there is less worry about bruising and swelling because no needle is used during the procedure.

If the nasolabial fold is deeply resided or the age is over 40-50, thread lifting is preferred to laser lifting. In particular, the elastic band lifting is a procedure to restore the elasticity of the skin on the lower face such as cheeks and chins by using a special material elastic band instead of thread. It has higher tensile strength (tolerant to stretch) than conventional lifting threads. The lasting period is longer than the existing thread lifting.

If you are in your 50s to 60s or older, it is worth considering incisional face lifting. Face lifting is a surgery that removes wrinkles and tightens the skin by lifting up that is separated from the fascia layer after incising the back of the ear or the scalp to remove fat and sagging skin.

The important thing is that appropriate treatment in the earlier stage of aging significantly delays wrinkling rather than receiving a treatment after aging has been processed.

Inconvenience of Frequent Filler Treatment

So What is Collagen Filler?

There would be nothing more bothering than the visible wrinkles when you want to improve your facial look. As aging progresses naturally, wrinkles that have become deeper and the volume that is lost are often not covered even with a thicker makeup on. Accordingly, many people are looking for fillers that enhance skin elasticity and improve volume. 

Since different types of filler has a variety of ingredients and its effect is different, it is good to learn more about the types then proceed with the treatment.

Wrinkles occur when collagen and protein that affect skin elasticity decreases. Accordingly, collagen fillers are attracting attention among various filler formulations. A collagen filler, Artecoll, which utilizes a substance that induces collagen production is a semi-permanent procedure that maintains the effect from shortly 1~2 years to more than 10 years.

Also a collagen filler ‘Juvelook’ with fine particle structure can be injected near the epidermis of the skin, so it is suitable for filling fine wrinkles, pores, and scars. The volume of the cheeks is often lost by aging which cause to look haggard, and in this case, such as ‘Lenisna’ is effective with the characteristic of creating natural volume effect over time.

The effect of hyaluronic acid fillers, which are commonly used, lasts for a short time, so it requires to be regularly applied which is inconvenient. Collagen filler has the advantage of maintaining a semi-permanent effect even without multiple treatments.

In the case of collagen filler, it is effective to use it on the forehead, lips, and nasolabial folds rather than the facial parts with thin or sensitive skin layer. As the effect lasts for a long time, it is important to consider many aspects such as clinic and side effects when deciding on the first treatment.

It is recommended to consider whether the clinic is using genuine production and right amount, which filler brand to use, and also post-treatment management is properly established. If you consider it a simple procedure and do not follow systematic management, side effects such as inflammation or swelling can occur. Therefore, it is important to make a decision through sufficient consultation.

The Mental Change That Comes With Cosmetic Surgery

 

Why do patients choose to receive surgical procedures? What, aside from the physical change, comes with receiving plastic surgery?

The views of plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery differ in every part of the world. Many times, the distinct difference lies in money and social status. However, in South Korea, surgical procedures hold a different connotation. When a person lives in a society that highly values physical beauty it can be hard to live comfortably.

Of course, every person has something to offer the world, but sometimes the way they look will hinder their ability to communicate with the world. The mental change becomes increasingly negative for people that deal with these issues. Patients once believed they couldn’t change their physical features; however, we can give our patients the option to enhance their current physical situations.

What If A Patient’s Age Is Starting To Show?

At our clinic, we have many options that can help a patient achieve their once youthful past. From facial contouring procedures to anti-aging procedures, we allow our patients to explore our extensive repertoire to choose what fits best. With our years of experience and many amazing specialists, we help to guide our patients to what fits best.

Our anti-aging procedures include everything from facelifts to stem cell therapy. Our materials range from synthetic Elasticum to FDA approved Endotine. Both materials are used to generate discreet facelifts.

The best factor of both materials is that they assimilate into the tissue and become one with the skin. While elasticum integrates completely, the endotine will eventually disintegrate after the droopy skin is taken care of.

What If A Patient Has Needs Help Losing Fat After Major Weight Loss?

The journey to a healthy lifestyle is hard and long. Exercise, diet, and a positive mental capacity all help a patient toward major weight loss. Once a patient achieves the goal of major weight loss, they must also deal with the obstacles that come afterward. One of those obstacles is stubborn amounts of fat issue.

These small pockets of fat make the body look awkward, especially after a patient's body undergoes such a large physical change. To get rid of this fat tissue, our patients have the option of undergoing body contouring procedures. They can choose from the following procedures:

• Whole-body liposuction
• Localized liposuction
• Dual slim procedure

Patients can choose to undergo one or more to attain the result of a natural, aesthetically pleasing body.

How Can These Procedures Help To Create A Well Balanced Mentality?

A person that has trouble feeling confident within themselves will have trouble feeling confident in any area of life. Confidence is a large mental change that affects all areas of life. The situations vary from patient to patient, but the results are normally the same. All our patients want is to be happy and successful.

Perhaps a mother is trying to come back from having children and she needs help with her weight loss journey. Or an older woman wants to rid herself of wrinkles and droopy skin, so she can look like her younger self. These situations and more can greatly affect the mental changes a person goes through.

A part of our job is to take those mental changes into account. We want our patients to be proud of the results and learn to love every part of themselves.

In Conclusion

The usual connotation of plastic surgery is generally negative. Yet the results produce such a positive mental change that our patients go on to lead happy, fulfilling lives. With so many successful procedures, we have absolute proof that plastic surgery is a positive experience.
