[Etone TV] Anti-aging Explained by a Plastic Surgery Specialist

Anti-aging,

why is it necessary, and how should we approach it?

What is the real cause of looking older?

Why is it difficult to expect a dramatic change with simple procedures alone?

How can we find an anti-aging solution optimized for each individual?

Are you curious?

Then let’s get started right away.

As average life expectancy has increased,

a 100-year lifespan is no longer just a dream.

As a result,

interest in aging has also naturally increased.

Every time you look in the mirror,

there comes a moment when you think, “Huh, why does my face look like this?”

The lighting in the bathroom is especially harsh!

Many people probably strongly want to become much younger with a simple procedure.

Advertisements can be tempting too.

Can you really become 10 or 20 years younger this easily?

I get tempted when I see those ads too. But is that really possible?

Unfortunately, any manipulation of the human body

cannot go beyond the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology.

You should understand that becoming suddenly 10 or 20 years younger with a simple procedure alone is, in reality, impossible.

Many people visit the clinic because of drooping eyelids

or hollowness under the eyes.

People often think, “Just cut it off,” but

simply removing tissue alone

makes it difficult to achieve the desired result.

Cutting away the body’s normal structure

and forcing it into shape is not only unnatural,

but a miracle of becoming 20 years younger cannot happen.

Then what is the real reason we look older?

It’s not simply because skin elasticity has decreased.

The reason we look older is far more complex than that.

One of the biggest causes is gravity.

Because of gravity, all tissues

sag downward.

The face is attached to the skeleton,

but because there are firmly fixed areas and soft muscle areas,

it sags like a hammock.

Another reason is

changes in subcutaneous fat and expression lines.

When we are young, subcutaneous fat is plump,

so the movements of facial muscles are not easily visible from the outside.

That is why wrinkles don’t form easily even when you smile.

As we age, subcutaneous fat becomes thinner,

and the movement of the muscles is exposed directly, becoming wrinkles.

There is a saying,

“Once you’re over 40, you have to take responsibility for your own face.”

Like that saying, the facial expressions we’ve lived with

affect the shape of our wrinkles.

For example,

people who smile a lot with their eyes may develop fine wrinkles around the eyes,

but someone like me, who gets angry a lot,

may develop deep wrinkles between the eyebrows. 😅

To address these signs of aging,

what should we do?

Fill in areas that have become hollow,

remove what has become excessive,

tighten what has become loose,

and lift and secure what has sagged.

To achieve a truly beautiful result,

all of these processes must be carefully coordinated,

planned, and approached step by step.

We need to find the optimal solution

tailored to each patient’s situation and goals.

We should first think of the best solution

while considering the patient’s cost, time, and goals.

For example,

if someone is only staying in Korea briefly

and needs to undergo all procedures at once before leaving,

then a focused plan suited to that situation should be made.

Then, from the patient’s perspective,

what kind of doctor should you choose?

Rather than a doctor who insists on only one specific procedure,

a doctor who can suggest a variety of methods would be better.

If I were the patient,

I wouldn’t want to entrust my body to a doctor

who only knows how to do fillers or Botox.

To present the most optimized method for the patient,

all procedures and surgeries should be available,

and you should find a doctor who can choose

the most appropriate one among them.

In the end, anti-aging is

not just about becoming younger and prettier,

but ultimately a process of becoming happier.

It is about becoming younger and prettier,

gaining more confidence in social life,

and becoming happier because of that.

I believe that setting the optimal plan for that happiness

is the essence of anti-aging.

Thank you 😀
