1. Rhinoplasty Surgery
Rhinoplasty is surgery that changes the shape of the nose. The reason for rhinoplasty may be to change the appearance of the nose, improve breathing or both.
Types of rhinoplasty include:
●Removing a hump on the nose
●Straightening the bridge
●Reshaping the nose's tip
●Increasing or decreasing the size of the nostrils
●Correcting the nose after an injury
●Opening breathing passages
●Making the nose bigger or smaller
Age: Ideally, girls should be at least 15 or 16 years old before having a procedure; boys should be at least 17 or 18.
2. Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the eyelids through blepharoplasty or double eyelid surgery. Surgery can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids or both.
It creates or enhances the eyelids to make the eyes look more open and refreshed. The procedure removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelid to create a crease and improve symmetry and contour.
3. Face Contouring
Facial contouring, also known as facial sculpting, is a procedure that reshapes the face to enhance or improve facial features and reduce the appearance of ageing. Changes are made to either the soft tissues of the face or bony structure, to improve the facial outline and profile.
For example, women may desire a more tapered, youthful, V-shaped facial contour. Men, in contrast, may prefer a more prominent and chiselled jawline for a more masculine appearance.
It can solve the problem such as:
●Hollow cheeks or flat cheekbone
●Square jaw
●Receding / protruding chin
●Asymmetry of the face
●Lack of facial definition
●Misshapen facial structure due to congenital facial deformities
●Prominent ears
4. Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the shape and appearance of the abdomen.
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen. The connective tissue (fascia) of the abdomen is also usually tightened with sutures. The remaining skin is then repositioned to give it a more elastic appearance.
If you have excess fat or skin around your belly button or a weak lower abdominal wall, you may opt for a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck can also enhance your body image. A tummy tuck can also be done in combination with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as breast surgery.
5. Face Lift
A face lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to make the face look younger. The procedure reduces skin laxity. It also helps to smooth out skin folds in the cheeks and jawline. A face lift is also known as a wrinkle removal procedure.
Facelift surgery cannot correct damage caused by the sun, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Other cosmetic procedures can address the appearance or quality of the skin itself.
The best age for a facelift is around 40-60.
The goal of a facelift is to protect and maintain the face, so the sooner the signs of aging are addressed, the better and longer lasting the results will be.
6. Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure. It effectively removes fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction can also contour these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring.
There are 5 types of liposuction-abdominal liposuction, arm liposuction, thigh liposuction, face liposuction and full body liposuction.
There are some risks associated with the procedure, including infection, numbness, and scarring. If too much fat is extracted, lumps or dents may appear on the skin. The risks of the procedure appear to be related to the amount of fat extracted.
7. Breast Surgery
Cosmetic breast surgery refers to procedures designed to lift, contour and reshape the breasts to create a body shape that aligns with a patient's ideal self-image.
The most common type of cosmetic breast surgery is breast augmentation, where fat grafts or implants are used to achieve the desired shape and size.
Other common procedures include breast lift, which tightens and lifts existing breast tissue, and breast reduction, which removes excess fat and tissue to create smaller, fuller breasts.
8. Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation is a surgical technique in which hair follicles from a particular part of the body are transplanted to a bald or balding area.
This technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. In this minimally invasive procedure, hair follicles containing anti-baldness genes are transplanted to the bald scalp.
Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants.
There are two types of transplant procedures: slit grafts and micrografts: slit grafts contain 4 to 10 hairs per graft.
Micrografts contain 1 to 2 hairs per graft, depending on the coverage needed.
●Time: A hair transplant session can take 4 hours or more.
To sum up, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, face contouring, tummy tuck, face lift, liposuction, breast surgery and hair transplant are the most popular plastic surgeries in Korea.
