A dual-specialty doctor with a background in plastic surgery, bridging cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. At the university hospital, he performed numerous high-difficulty cases, primarily focusing on eye and facial bone surgeries, cultivating precise techniques grounded in anatomy. He prioritizes achieving both aesthetic beauty and functional safety, offering customized treatments around the eyes that incorporate ophthalmological expertise.

② Excess fat/severe sagging above the nasolabial folds (resulting in convex changes)
Facial fat is divided into multiple compartments, each of which increases or decreases with age.
The left side is superficial fat, and the right side is deep fat.
where blue increases and red decreases,
As we age, the amount of shallow fat around the mouth and nasolabial folds increases.You will understand.
Therefore, when dividing the face into three sections as shown in this diagram, the middle section tends to sag particularly noticeably.
Sagging treatment is,Tighten and lift It becomes important.
Using machine treatments like HIFU and RF (Voluma) to tighten and lift, while significantly lifting with thread lifts
It improves sagging while also preventing it.
With conventional thread lifts,
While it was possible to refine the facial contour in this way, it was considered difficult to directly lift the nasolabial folds themselves.
When combined with the new technology called Vertical Thread Lift,
This allows you to directly lift the raised area above the nasolabial folds, thereby improving the appearance of the nasolabial folds.
Additionally, the volume under the eyes gradually sags due to gravity, which can make you look older. Restoring the cheeks to their original position can also help create a more youthful contour.
Vertical thread lifts use ”Artemis Lift” threads, which provide strong lifting power.
Artemis Lift features a mesh structure that produces a tightening effect as it is absorbed within the body.
Immediately after treatment, you will feel a strong lifting effect, but you will begin to notice tightening results 2-3 months after the procedure.
For those who wish to consistently experience a strong lifting effect, we recommend every six months. For those seeking a more natural change to prevent sagging, we recommend every year.
Combining mechanical therapy, Jalpro Super Hydro, and Shopping Lift can prolong the duration of results and is recommended.
