Procedures on Trend
1. Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery is always on the most-popular-procedure list. It differentiates Korean methods and methods from the rest of the world. What makes Korean eyelid surgery so popular and unique? Firstly, Korean method is more about “design”. It puts emphasis on designing the most beautiful eyes that suit your face. Harmony is the keyword. Moreover, Korean methods are labeled “less painful”, “fast recovery”, and “natural looking”. The operation only takes 30mins to 1h. They removed the stitch 7 days after the surgery. Normally double-eyelid surgery is performed along with canthoplasty or ptosis correction based on different types of eyes.
2. Rhinoplasty
Commonly known as nose job. Moreover, it is the second most coveted procedure ranked right after eyelid surgery. What Korean rhinoplasty surgeons are excellent at is they can design the most suitable nose for your ethnic nature and aesthetic sense. Indeed, foreigners who get their nose job done in South Korea have no need to worry about the gap between Western and Korean aesthetic sense. Doctors are very willing to listen and cater to customers’ needs in order to produce the best result.
3. Face contouring
You can call it “the highlight of Korean plastic surgery”. Korean surgeons have applied the methods of reshaping or restructuring facial bones for cosmetic purposes for years. In Korea, face contouring is not only limited in V-line surgery. It can be cheek bone reduction, V-line, and jaw correction performed at the same time to build a smooth facial outline. Face contouring might be the most complicated and high-risk procedure. Cutting as much bones as possible does not mean achieving the best result. The point is cutting the correct part of bone based on every patient’s condition. 3D scan technology that most Korean plastic surgery clinics are equipped with helps doctors check the structure and thickness of bone precisely. Thus they will present the safest surgical method, avoiding blood vessels and nerves.
Emerging K-Methods
1. Minimally invasive methods
The demand for fast surgery and fast recovery yields this kind of methods. Especially for people who contribute most time to work, returning back to work as soon as possible after the surgery is crucial. Minimally invasive methods would be the best choice for people who require “speed”, as well for those who are afraid of pain and side effects.
Experts indicate that recently non-invasive procedures like filler, Botox, and lifting have gained more popularity among young beauty chaser aged from 20s to 30s. Simpler, faster, and cheaper, this is extraordinarily attractive.
Minimally invasive anti-aging treatments
You might have heard about thread lifting and Acculift, two typical minimally invasive anti-aging treatments. To clarify, as the name tells, thread facelift is a technique that tightens the skin through inserting self-dissolving threads. While Acculift applies laser to evacuate facial fat. Compared to traditional facelifting methods, they are less invasive, causing less pain. Besides these, Korean clinics are performing new anti-aging treatments like air ulthermage, elasticum, etc.
2. Stem-cell therapy
South Korea has been extending stem-cell therapy into the plastic surgery field. Indeed, having the ability to evolve into specialised cells, stem cell is the perfect substitute for damaged cells or tissues.
Stem-cell therapy as anti-aging treatment
Stem cells’ organic nature is a gift for people who need treatment to bring their youthful skin back. For example, injecting stem cell into the face region helps your skin regenerate and regain elasticity.
