The upper arms often get the reputation of being inevitably flabby or floppy, no matter how many arm-targeted exercises you do. And even if you are able to strengthen your biceps and triceps, a stubborn layer of fat still covers the muscle definition. The arms are unfortunately one of the areas genetically predisposition to store fat deposits, and diet and exercise hardly do anything to fight this layer or fat deposits and lax skin. Besides genetics, some other reasons leading to fat buildup in the upper arms are age and sex of the patient.

Arm liposuction

The back is considered 2 areas: the upper back and middle back. The lower portion of the back is a separate area called the waist/love handles. Often, patients choose to address the three areas together, and on most occasions the arms are done as well, slimming the entire upper half of your body to maintain ideal proportions.
Back liposuction starts with the treatment area being appropriately numbed since you are awake during the procedure; there is no need for general anesthesia which can increase risks. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted into tiny incisions to suction the fat. The whole procedure takes between 1-2 hours depending on the extent of the individual case.

Hip liposuction provides a very effective solution, helping patients to lose a significant amount of inches and achieve beautifully natural-looking results. The hips respond very well to liposuction, and are in fact one of the most successful areas when it comes to showing visible improvement after the procedure.

A tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the shape and appearance of the abdomen.
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.
You might choose to have a tummy tuck if you have excess fat or skin around the area of your bellybutton or a weak lower abdominal wall. A tummy tuck can also boost your body image.

Revision rhinoplasty often requires cartilage for structural support for the tip and/or bridge of the nose. Septal cartilage is often deficient and plastic surgeons often must choose cartilage from elsewhere in the body, particularly the ear and occasionally the rib. Soft tissue irregularities along the bridge of the nose or tip may also require tissue that provides a cover or camouflage and acts as a "natural filler" which is permanent. An excellent source is "temporalis fascia," which can be taken from a remote incision within the hairline and results in no noticeable deficit. Occasionally, scarring within the nose requires the use of skin grafts to reopen a distorted and narrowed nasal airway.

Revision rhinoplasty

Male rhinoplasty is a specific and unique procedure. About one million cosmetic surgeries are performed on men each year, and male rhinoplasty is one of the top five procedures selected. It consists of reshaping and adjusting the structures of the nose for a more balanced and pleasing result.
It is essential that the masculinity of the nose be kept intact during a male rhinoplasty procedure. Because many plastic surgeons do primarily female nose surgery and plastic surgery, male rhinoplasties performed by a less experienced surgeon can result in a nose that is overly “done” or feminine looking.
It is not uncommon for men to sustain some type of trauma to the nose during physical activity or athletics. This may or may not affect both the breathing and the appearance of the nose.
Each ethnicity possesses its own distinctive nasal traits. It is of vital importance to consider the heritage of each patient to preserve their ethnic legacy and features. At the same time, the face of each patient is unique and will contain a combination of features and characteristics that must be taken into consideration when planning a nose surgery.

A Mini Nose Job or Tip Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to improve the shape of the nasal tip by either augmenting or reducing the appearance of the nasal alars and cartilage. During the procedure, the nasal bridge and bony structure are left alone, and not surgical intervention is applied to these structures. The Tip Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as tipoplasty or Tip Plasty, is a simple procedure that aims to improve facial aesthetics with minimal visible scarring.

Acne is every teenager’s nightmare and can make one embarrassed or self-conscious about his or her skin. Sometimes, people suffer from extreme acne cases that tend to leave behind hideous scars on the affected areas. Although some acne types can heal and disappear over time without leaving any mark, others cause noticeable scars. 

In case you are in such a situation, then you are not alone. Many individuals out there are struggling to get rid of or trying to hide the stubborn scars. Read on to understand the nature of acne scars, types, and the available forms of treatment.

Some of us are naturally prone to thicker calf muscles, sometimes due to genetics and other times as a result of physical exercise. Neuromodulators, such as Botox, can slim down calf muscles. Botox is injected into the gastrocnemius muscle. The gastrocnemius muscle is the most superficial calf muscle that is responsible for bulkiness and definition of the calf. Botox causes this muscle to relax, creating a leaner appearance in the leg. This procedure only affects a small proportion of the outer muscle fibers, meaning it does not restrict normal calf function, nor does it negatively affect your ability to walk or run.

Gynecomastia is a condition of overdevelopment or enlargement of the breast tissue in men or boys. The breasts become larger. They may grow unevenly.
Gynecomastia often happens when a preteen or teenage boy is going through the hormonal changes of puberty. But it can also happen to newborn babies and to men as they age.
Gynecomastia is usually a benign (noncancerous) condition. It may be linked to many different causes of hormone changes. In many cases, the cause isn’t known.
Gynecomastia is often caused by changes in levels of the female hormone (estrogen) and the male hormone (testosterone). But it can be caused by other things as well.
Gynecomastia can be a side effect of certain medicines, such as antidepressants, antibiotics, chemotherapy, prostate cancer medicines, ulcer or cardiovascular medicines. Illegal drugs, such as anabolic steroids, heroin, or marijuana can also cause gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia surgery

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries, especially in South Korea. It is a type of surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and removes excess skin, muscle, and fat. 

Double eyelid surgery

Dual epicanthoplasty involves an advanced skin flap and a rotation skin flap, which are, respectively, distributed on the outer skin lining and inner skin lining and belong to the different three-dimensional planes of the epicanthus. The dense connective fibers located between the skin and the orbicularis oculi muscle were completely released. In the final steps, the upper advanced triangle flap was anchored in the direction of the lacrimal caruncle and the lower rotation triangular flap was anchored to the nasal skin.

Dual epicanthoplasty

Epicanthoplasty is an eye surgery that modifies the epicanthal folds or the Mongolian folds. It is medically known as medial or lateral epicanthoplasty and it aims to lengthen the inner part of the eye to make the eyes look bigger. 

Epicanthoplasty

As we age, the tissues that tend to hold the fat of the eye socket in place weaken, thus allowing for the prolapse of fat into the lower eyelids. The surrounding skin also becomes “crepey” and lax in many cases, and tendons in the outer corner of the eyelid may fall. All of these changes can collectively create the appearance of puffy lower eyelids, potentially with dark circles manifesting around the eye socket. Furthermore, some individuals will lose facial volume underneath the dark circles, accentuating the appearance of fatigue.
When these aesthetic concerns—and any others pertaining to the lower eyelid region—manifest for both women and men, lower blepharoplasty can often be an excellent treatment option.

Lower blepharoplasty

Revision blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid revision surgery, is a secondary surgical procedure which is performed to correct any complications that have arisen or to improve the results of a previous eyelid surgery. When a patient finds that they are not happy with the outcome of a past blepharoplasty procedure, perhaps due to a resulting defect or disfiguration which causes them distress, then a revision procedure may be recommended.

Cheekbone reduction is a procedure for smoothing the lines of wide cheekbones. More specifically, osteotomy on both the front and back sides of the prominent cheekbone in order to correctly and safely create a smooth bone surface.
Cheekbone reduction is operated through an incision on the scalp, which makes the scar barely visible and allows you to quickly return to your daily activities. Your face will look smaller and have better proportions.

A chin augmentation refers to refinement/improvement of the bone contour of the chin area. This is usually accomplished by placement of a fitted "implant" directly on the bone of the chin, well below the skin. This procedure is usually done to augment an under projected chin.
The restoration of facial harmony is the goal of chin augmentation. Chin augmentation can be used to define an underdeveloped chin, or give it more prominence. Interestingly, the shape of the chin is related to nose size. That is, a small chin may make a large nose more noticeable, and vice versa. Often, rhinoplasty and chin implant are done together. Chin augmentation can also be performed at the time of neck or facelift, to help better define the jawline.


Chin Augmentation

Chin reduction surgery, or chin shaving surgery, is performed to reduce a prominent or overprojected chin. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. A small incision is made either inside the mouth or underneath the skin of the chin. Excess bone is removed, and the chin is contoured to the desired shape. The incision is closed with sutures.

Chin Reduction

Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, corrects irregularities of the jaw bones and realigns the jaws and teeth to improve the way they work. Making these corrections may also improve your facial appearance.
Jaw surgery may be a corrective option if you have jaw problems that can't be resolved with orthodontics alone. In most cases, you also have braces on your teeth before surgery and during recovery after surgery until healing and alignment are complete. Your orthodontist can work with your oral and jaw and face (maxillofacial) surgeon to determine your treatment plan.
