Rhinoplasty & Fat Graft


Make-over at April.31st Clinic!




      Rhinoplasty and fat graft together for a harmonious and more 3-dimensional face!



Dynamic Tip Plasty
What is ‘Dynamic Tip Plasty’?
As the word itself applies, meaning opposite from ‘static’, rather than applying implants all the way to the end of the nasal tip or fixing and maintaining the nasal tip by strong struts(ex.costal cartilage, artificial bone, etc.) merely to meet the aesthetic standards, Dynamic Tip Plasty focuses on creating the utmost natural and unfixed shape of a nose by dynamically transforming and operating autonomic structure tissues such as alar cartilage, nasal septum, etc.
To maintain the nose height considering the angle between the nose(nasal columella) and upper lip and the proportion to the face with sufficient analyze of the shape and condition of one’s own nasal tip alar cartilage, only entirely soft autologous cartilages such as nasal septum and ear-cartilage are being used. In addition, although it reinforces the nasal columella to be strong, doesn’t damage the part keeping the nasal tip soft as much as possible.

   Eye contouring and Medial & Lateral canthoplasty for more clear and defined eyes!






                                                           Side View Before & After

Eye Contour Correction
This procedure allows you to open your eyes more clearly and comfortably by tightening loosened eyelid levator or Muller muscle which are the muscles that open an eye. Also, by refining double eyelid fold, it changes the sleepy eyes to big and clear eyes with brighter and younger look. Comfortable and clear opening of the eyes can be felt even right after the operation.

Nasolabial Folds
Deep nasolabial folds make one looks older and careworn.

Surgical Methods
•Exfoliation of subcutaneous adipose tissue down to the nasolabial folds area followed by skin & muscle    pull-up and excess skin removal at behind the ears.
•Stretch of the wrinkles under the eyes and nasolabial folds by pulling them up through the incision under the eyes.
•Nasolabial folds removal by Microfat Graft







Double Chin Wrinkle Surgery – MESH
New Era of V-Line – Tight Mesh Lift
Sagging skin around the jaw can be found not only in seniors but also in a lot of relatively young people. Sagging facial skin can cause loss of V-line of the jaw. This changes the over-all face shape and makes it look square-shaped which makes you look older with a bigger face.If you want to get the V-Line of your youth with tightened skin, Tight Mesh Lift is th most effective way and we know this from the high satisfaction level of our patients.

1. Since the unique ‘mesh-shape’ of polypropylene allows body tissues to grow into it, it can give a very strong and firm pull-up to the skin and semi-permanent sleek face shape, V-Line, can be maintained.
2. No implant can be felt from outside of the skin like traditional thread method.
3. Effective for not only sagging cheek and jaw but also for neck and nasolabial wrinkles, allowing a small and tightened face regardless on one’s age.
4. No visible scar since the incision line is hidden behind the years.
5. No postoperative swelling allows you to be back to your daily life.
6. We, April.31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic, introduced Tight Mesh Lift for the first in Korea and have abundant clinical experience, providing the highest satisfaction for our patients.

Korea rhinoplasty - Hump nose rhinoplasty


Hump nose rhinoplasty

Impression change to ‘gentle’ from ‘scary’.
It refers to a nose with a hump on the nasal bridge. The hump on the nasal bridge often makes the glabella region(between your eyes &above your nose) look flat and the tip relatively droopy.The droopy tip should be highly projected by Dynamic Tip Plasty and the curved nasal bridge should be delicately trimmed.The operation of a hump nose requires skilled technique and meticulous care, so it must be conducted by a surgeon with abundant experience.A careful and deliberate decision must be made beforehand since there are many cases of revision operations due to remaining hump from an erroneous primary operation.In addition, since the nasal bridge itself is already high in most of the hump nose cases, surgical methods of not using implants are widely used not to make it look unnatural due to protruding glabella region.
 




Grinding Reduction Technique for hump nose correction
A hump nose can give too much of a strong impression so people go through rhinoplasty operations to change it to a more gentle one. Hump nose is known to be caused by genetic factors and strong impact during the growth period.The hump gets formed in the middle of the nasal bridge where the nasal bone, lateral cartilage of nose, and septal cartilage meet.For the hump nose correction, osteotomy procedure, breaking the nasal bone, under general anesthesia has been commonly applied so it has been quite burdensome to the patients. April 31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic conducts both osteotomy and non-osteotomy procedures; Grinding Reduction Technique is a non-osteotomy procedure that just trims the bone without breaking it.Both procedures are non-incisional and conducted under conscious sedation anesthesia(anesthesia under induced sleep) for the least pressure on the patients.




Recommended Surgical Procedures
1. Overall small-size nose with a slight humpStraight projection from where the nasion starts in the glabella region(between your eyes &above your nose) to the hump on the nasal bridge using autologous tissue.
2. Severe hump noseRemoval of the hump section on the nasal bridge with its bone and cartilage.Even grinding of postoperatively irregular surface of the bone to make the nasal bridge sleek and refined as much as possible.
The bone itself is often wide and big in many cases of severe hump nose.
Meticulous care is needed in these cases since the width of nasal bridge from the front view may look too wide due to the removal of the hump when a proper operation of breaking and narrowing the wide nasal bone isn’t applied together.

Incisional Method - Double Eyelid Surgery




Incisional Method
It’s a procedure commonly applied for the cases of thick or sagging eyelid skin, excessive fat of eyelid, or loosened embedding.
It’s a surgical method of making an incision along the line drawn above the eyelid according to the desired height and shape, followed by removal of excess skin, muscle, fat, and connective tissues to make double eyelid fold for the eyes with thick or sagging eyelid skin, excessive fat or loosened embedding.


Candidates for Incisional Method
Suitable candidates for this procedure are decided considering the size of eyes, condition of eyelid tissues, whether blepharoptosis(cause of sleepy eyes) is accompanied or not, desire and expectation of the patient and etc.Generally, the patients who present difficulty in demo-practice of forming double eyelid line with a simple tool, excessive amount of sagging eyelid skin, history of primary double eyelid incision and considering revision operation, thick components of eyelid(muscle, skin, etc) in preoperative consulting are mainly the candidates for the incisional method.



Procedures
After giving an incision along the pre-arranged eyelid line, an additional removal is given on the parts of excessive muscle and orbital fat as necessary. The sagged skin from the skin incision also gets removed as designed. When the manipulation on eyelid tissues is completed, anatomic and functional aspects of double eyelid including adhesion of the skin and adequate tissue (eyelid plate or muscle) are considered to create natural double eyelid lines.From the various methods of creating double eyelid fold lines such as Levator Muscle Fixation, Tarsal Plate Fixation and etc, April.31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic conducts a method that doesn’t leave stitches inside the eyelid tissue to create natural double eyelid fold lines.
 
Advantages of Incisional Method
1. Wide scope for manipulation with direct vision.2. Less weakening and loss of the fold lines compared to the Buried Sutures Method(non-incisional).



INFORMATION
• Duration of Operation : 1 hour
• Anesthesia : IV sedation(under induced sleep) &local anesthesia
• Hospitalization : Unnecessary
• Back to Work : After 4~5 days
• Stitch removal : unnecessary
• Outpatient Treatment : 2~3 times
• Washing Face : after 4~5 days• Make-up : after 4~5 days

Revision rhinoplasty


Implant Foreign body reaction revision


Revision rhinoplasty
“No more pain for rhinoplasty.”
April.31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic’s revision rhinoplasty from various casesRevision rhinoplasty should be treated more carefully than the primary operation. Statistically, the rate of revision rhinoplasty is about 10% and it is mainly about subjective dissatisfaction. The reasons of revision rhinoplasty vary as Self-dissatisfaction, change of the aesthetic criteria with the trends, the implications from one’s surroundings and etc. Some other reasons such as inflammation and severe asymmetry, 1% ~ 2% each, have a low probability. Although there is some individual variation, the stabilization process usually takes about 6 months.A hasty revision rhinoplasty can cause problems of the tissues so sufficient stabilization of the tissues prior to it is recommended.Cases of spotting a problem and undergoing a revision rhinoplasty not long after the primary surgery sometimes happen depending on the cases.Therefore, clear and precise delivery of the patient’s desire to the doctor and finding an expert surgeon for the successful operation are most important.Primary surgery itself is very important too, but if one has to undergo revision rhinoplasty, choosing an expert nose surgeon and a hospital with extensive experience and great skill is essen
