Q&A

Yes. Because the degree of skin tissue aging and personal goals can vary by age, Golden Diamant selects surgical methods tailored to skin thickness, fat volume, eye shape, age group, and more. For those in their 10s~30s, non-incisional eyelid surgery (buried suture method), incisional eyelid surgery, and epicanthoplasty/lateral/upper/lower canthoplasty are mainly considered; for those in their 40s~70s, Upper Blepharoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty, Sub-Brow Lift, and Under-Eye Fat Repositioning are primarily considered. During the consultation, we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your eyes to determine a method that harmonizes with your face.

Since double eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia and you return home on the same day, please prepare items such as glasses, a scarf, or a hat to wear when going home. Keep the surgical site clean, disinfect it once a day, and apply antibiotic ointment. To reduce swelling and bruising, it is recommended to avoid lowering your head, lying face down, or engaging in strenuous physical exertion, and to sleep with your head elevated on pillows. Apply cold compresses with a cool pack for 2 hours a day for 3 days, and take anti-inflammatory medications and painkillers for 3 days.

Swelling varies from person to person, but usually about 60% subsides after 7 days, and it settles into place after 1-3 months. Contact lenses can be worn after 2 weeks, and makeup can be applied after one week. Please wash your face with a wet towel until the stitches are removed; washing your face normally is possible after the stitches are removed. Results and recovery periods may vary depending on the individual.

Upper Blepharoplasty is a method that addresses both aesthetic concerns and the functional issue of obstructed vision caused by sagging eyelids. An incision is made along the designed double eyelid line to remove an appropriate amount of wrinkled skin and unnecessary fat. A Sub-Brow Lift is a method where sagging eyelid skin is excised below the eyebrow, lifted, and fixed into place; since the incision is located beneath the eyebrow, it is suitable for those concerned about visible scarring. Both methods take about 1-2 hours under local anesthesia, and stitches are removed after 4-5 days.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning is a method where an incision is made through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid to shift the protruding fat into the hollowed areas over the periosteum, and the weakened orbital septum is secured once more. It aims for a smooth under-eye area while preserving natural love band (aegyo-sal). If there is also sagging skin, Lower Blepharoplasty can remove the drooping skin while repositioning the fat, and lift the sagging midface cheek area to improve the hollow between the lower eyelid and the front cheek. Both methods are performed under local anesthesia and take about 1-2 hours. Results and recovery periods may vary depending on the individual.

It is considered when the wide alar width makes the nose appear blunt and low, when the shape of the alae is not harmonious with the face, when the bridge of the nose is high but the nasal tip is flared and lacks dimension, or when drooping alae make the nose appear long and low. The surgery takes about 1 hour and is performed under twilight anesthesia (sedation) or local anesthesia. Stitches are removed after 7 days, with 1-2 clinic visits. Side effects such as bleeding, swelling, and scarring may occur, and the occurrence of side effects and recovery periods may vary depending on the individual.

Alar Lift is a surgery in which drooping nasal alae are designed to match the facial balance, excised, raised upward, and secured. Necessary incision lines are designed and made along the inside of the nasal alae, the nasal sill (floor), and the lateral mucosal areas. The mucosa is dissected and mobilized, then sutured superomedially (inward and upward) taking into account anatomical alignment and aesthetic results. Rather than raising them excessively, overall balance such as facial harmony and the shape of the philtrum is considered, and in some cases, Alar Reduction may be performed concurrently.

Nostril Lowering is a surgery that lowers the position of the soft tissues around the nostrils to reduce frontal exposure of the nose. It is considered when the nasal tip is fine but the nostrils appear pulled upward, when a lot of the nostrils are visible from the front, or when nostril exposure has worsened after tip rhinoplasty. Rather than excessively reducing or lowering the nostrils, the plan is made by looking at the overall facial balance, including the harmony of the face and the shape of the philtrum. Results and recovery periods may vary depending on the individual.

Paranasal Augmentation is a surgery that inserts an implant into the sunken areas beside the nose to improve nasolabial folds and add three-dimensional volume. It is considered when deep nasolabial folds beside the nose make you look older, or when the midface is recessed, making the mouth appear protruding. Through an intraoral incision or an intranasal (inside the nostril) incision, a silicone implant customized to each individual's face is inserted and double-fixed to reduce the risk of displacement. The surgery takes about 1 hour under sleep anesthesia or local anesthesia, and the recovery period is 1-2 weeks. Results and recovery periods may vary depending on the individual.

The Nasolabial Angle is the angle where the tip of the nose meets the upper lip, and an angle between the nasal floor and the upper lip of approximately 90~95 degrees for men and approximately 95~105 degrees for women is considered ideal. If the Nasolabial Angle is narrow due to a drooping nasal tip, the angle is widened by lifting the tip of the nose; if the Nasolabial Angle is wide due to an upturned nasal tip, the angle is narrowed by lowering the tip of the nose. However, rather than forcing the angle to fit, the surgery is planned by taking the overall balance into account, including facial harmony and the shape of the philtrum.

Yes. If you wish to achieve more harmonious facial lines, you can consult about combining it with tip plasty, Nostril Lowering, or a Lip Corner Lift. Nasolabial Angle Surgery is considered in cases where the nose appears upturned like a pug nose, where the mouth looks protruding, or where the line appears unnatural after nasal tip surgery. The surgery takes about 1-2 hours under sleep anesthesia or local anesthesia, stitches are removed after 7 days, and 1-2 clinic visits are required. The occurrence of side effects and recovery time may vary depending on the individual.

It is a method where an incision is made inside the mouth, and an implant such as silicone, Gore-Tex, or Medpor is customized to fit the shape of the chin and placed in front of the chin bone. Because an overly small oval implant can cause problems over the long term due to bone changes, Golden Diamant performs surgery using wing-shaped implants. Since the implant is inserted through an intraoral incision, concerns about scarring can be reduced. The surgery takes about 1 hour under sleep anesthesia or local anesthesia, and the recovery period is 1-2 weeks. Results and recovery time may vary depending on the individual.

Whether to proceed with an incisional or non-incisional approach depends on the shape of your earlobes and the degree to which they are attached to the jawline. Incisional Earlobe Reshaping involves an incision along the lower line of the earlobe to reshape it into a rounded form, while non-incisional Earlobe Reshaping creates a rounded shape by fixing three points—the top, bottom, and back of the earlobe—with sutures. Both methods check for asymmetry between both ears and aim for a natural earlobe shape.

It is considered when the earlobes are sharp and thin, when earrings do not look good because the earlobes lack volume, or when the earlobes have deformed into pixie ears as an aftereffect of a previous facelift. The surgery takes about 30 minutes and is performed under twilight (sleep) or local anesthesia; stitches are removed on day 10, and 3 clinic visits are required. The occurrence of side effects and the recovery period may vary depending on the individual.

First, fat is harvested and centrifuged to extract only pure fat, and the patient's blood is drawn and centrifuged to separate plasma and platelets. These are mixed with the pure fat and introduced into areas requiring volume using a micro-injection technique that minimizes damage to surrounding tissues. It is considered for individuals seeking to improve hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds, sunken eyelids, a hollow forehead, or a receding chin. The surgery takes about 1-2 hours under sleep anesthesia, stitches are removed in 5-7 days, and 2 clinic visits are required.

Generally, the ideal position for a dimple is considered to be the point where the corner of the mouth intersects with the vertical line descending from the pupil. However, because the most flattering location differs depending on individual preference and facial shape, we determine the position of the dimple line and adjust the width through consultation by considering the overall shape of the face. We design with the goal of creating a dimple that appears naturally when making facial expressions or smiling.

It is considered for those whose double chin is prominent due to a structurally short chin, those whose skin and muscles are sagging and have accumulated chin fat due to aging, those who are troubled because a previous double chin liposuction did not bring improvement, those whose facial contours have disappeared due to rapid weight gain, or those with excess fat throughout the face including buccal fat, double chin, and jawline. The method uses a micro-cannula to press on the cheek area and remove protruding fat masses, directly eliminating fat cells.

The face and neck are areas where even small changes can significantly alter your impression. The goal is to reduce facial width and define contours from the front, while creating a clear boundary between the jawline and neck from the profile. However, because facial nerves and blood vessels pass through the fat layer in the face, meticulous and delicate surgical technique is required. Side effects such as bleeding, swelling, and scarring may occur, and the occurrence of side effects and the recovery period may vary depending on the individual.
