What makes it different?

Hello.

We are BalanceLab Plastic Surgery,

always thinking and researching how to help you become more beautiful!

As we begin to age, one of the most noticeable changes in our face is the loss of skin elasticity and the start of sagging.

But here’s the thing!

When aging begins, it may seem natural to assume that wrinkles will appear on the face, but did you know that sagging and wrinkles can sometimes appear in various parts of the face even in your 20s or 30s? The 대표적인 examples are marionette lines and buccal fat.

Recently, among those visiting BalanceLab, there are people who are still relatively young but are struggling because of these two concerns that have already settled in early.

So today, for those in a similar situation, we’d like to take some time to look at the causes of these changes, which can occur even at a relatively young age, and the ways to address them.

At a relatively young age, when is anti-aging care needed?

As you get older, your skin also ages and loses elasticity. That isn’t something only I experience; it’s a natural change that happens to everyone, so it’s understandable.

However!

If wrinkles and sagging appear at a young age, they are often congenital or formed through poor facial expression habits in daily life. For example, frequently furrowing the forehead, the bridge of the nose, or the glabella area.

In fact, if these habits continue for a long time from childhood, they are really hard to fix overnight. And for those whose eyesight has gradually worsened and who have started wearing glasses they didn’t use before, a furrowing habit that wasn’t there before can also develop.

In addition, nasolabial folds and buccal fat can be present from a young age for various unknown reasons, which is understandably upsetting. Even among people who have been slim overall since childhood and don’t have much body fat, some have noticeably more fat only in the face, and it’s not uncommon to see people nearby who feel deeply self-conscious because of it.

Buccal fat and nasolabial folds are also difficult to improve easily even with diligent dieting, so today let’s look at how these two troublesome concerns can be addressed.

Bulging, stubborn buccal fat What is the removal procedure?

First, let’s look at how buccal fat is removed. At BalanceLab, the buccal fat is carefully targeted so that only the necessary amount can be cleanly removed.

Buccal fat is difficult to remove with facial liposuction alone, and it is a procedure that requires an incision inside the mouth to remove part of the fat inside the cheek. Some people may think it only removes prominent or protruding cheeks, or that it can be eliminated with Botox, but in fact it can be considered a relatively challenging procedure.

Another important point is that even if the buccal fat is very prominent, removing a large amount is not always the answer. Only the necessary amount of fat should be precisely removed so that temple hollowing or cheek hollowing that may occur later can be prevented, so please keep this in mind.

Another concern that makes you look older, how can marionette lines be improved?

As you age, overall elasticity decreases and the face begins to show more overall contours. If the face is broadly divided into three areas, there are the midface, lower face, and double line/jawline.

When performing marionette lifting, a clear understanding of these three areas is necessary. This is because the location where sagging begins or the area where hollowness is present differs slightly from person to person.

Also, one thing you must remember is that BalanceLab Plastic Surgery uses HA (hyaluronic acid) and dissolvable PDO threads to remove the wrinkles around the mouth and marionette lines overall.

The reason is! HA (hyaluronic acid) is known to be a body-friendly ingredient, to the point that it is used in many functional cosmetics. It also already exists in our body. For that reason, it is used because it can help reduce concerns about side effects during procedures/surgery.

The reason dissolvable PDO threads are used is that when marionette lifting is performed with them, the threads naturally dissolve inside the skin over time. Because they are less irritating and highly stable, they are used for that reason.

When choosing a procedure/surgery because a specific area needs improvement, we recommend carefully checking whether it is being done with just one commonly used method, or whether it is being performed in combination with additional factors that can help you achieve better results.

The hidden secret of BalanceLab’s anti-aging IV drip

There are three main reasons why combining marionette lifting with BalanceLab’s anti-aging IV drip is beneficial. They are:

Because antioxidant care is needed! Because the glutathione content in the body decreases with age! Because it is a special recipe IV drip that helps improve skin aging!

The reason glutathione, which also exists in the body, is closely related to anti-aging procedures is that its levels decrease in our body as we age.

In particular, if this ingredient is deficient, the immune system and the speed of aging may accelerate further, so it is better to replenish it. At BalanceLab, we do so with Vita Balance IV, whose main ingredient is glutathione.

As we always emphasize at BalanceLab, considering fundamental inner beauty means not only improving the specific area, but also thinking about reducing the speed of aging that will come with time.

Therefore! When you want long-lasting results after lifting When antioxidant care is needed due to rapid aging When you are worried that your immunity seems to be dropping BalanceLab’s anti-aging IV drip may help, so please keep it in mind.
