Frequently Asked Questions about Medical Checkups

Counseling and checkups,

What else can I do?"
Can you recommend a treatment from your point of view?"

We are often asked the question.

I am not sure how to answer your question at this time.

If there are areas of negative factors, I believe it is a good idea to pull those areas up to the average and make them less noticeable.

However, I am concerned that by pointing out negative factors that the patient is not aware of, I may be adding unnecessary worries. I am concerned that this may cause unnecessary worry.

I have had the bitter experience of having to tell the truth when I was asked such a question in the past, and later receiving a complaint that I was hurt when he pointed out my facial defects while smiling at me.

To answer this question, it is necessary to consider the patient's personality, age, occupation, and other background factors, which can be difficult to answer when asked by a patient on his or her first visit.

When we ask this question of our cosmetic surgeons, an element of position talk and sales talk comes into play. We must also remember that cosmetic surgeons will recommend cosmetic procedures even if there are other means of change that are less risky than cosmetic surgery, such as a haircut or makeup.

Although we try to refrain from recommending any treatment other than the consulted area to our patients, we cannot afford not to give them any advice if they ask such a question.

So I would like to answer what I think should be done in general.

My general suggestions

skin round one's eyes

The difference in impression between a single or double eyelid is immense. If you have a single eyelid, you will be greatly satisfied by having a double fold, even if it is a double fold in the back.

For those with double eyelids but poor eye opening, surgery to improve eye opening will bring light into the eyes and make the expression more attractive.

As for the width of the bifold, we recommend that the width should be wide enough to make the eyes look beautiful without being too wide.

contour

A beautiful face is generally well contoured. If there are obvious areas of imbalance in the forehead, cheekbones, gills, mouth, and jaw that stand out, then adjusting these areas will bring them into balance.

Osteotomy would be best, but Botox or hyaluronic acid injections are also good, minimally invasive methods. For the mouth, orthodontics is also a good option.

鼻

The nose is an important part of the face. There are many words to describe a bad impression of the nose, such as "pig nose," "dumpling nose," "flat nose," and "witch nose," but there is no word to describe a cool nose. The phrase "forgetful nose" has been in vogue for several years, but a nose that does not leave a bad impression is better than a nose that leaves a cool impression. If there is some noticeable negative element in the nose, it is a good idea to adjust that area.

肌

Beautiful skin is very important. No matter how well-defined the parts of the body are, if the skin is not beautiful, the attractiveness of the body is reduced by half. I have the impression that many male patients in particular neglect skin care. Even if they are taking care of their eyes and nose, I sometimes feel like unintentionally pointing out that "it's the skin first. Cleanliness is justice.

appropriate body weight

It is not necessary to diet to a skinny weight, but maintaining a proper weight is most important to stay beautiful. If you are chubby, dieting down to a proper weight will make your eyes look fuller and your nose look more refreshed than if you have surgery.

Cosmetic surgery procedures are a "means" not an "end

The desire for beauty has no goal. When I see celebrities that everyone knows come to me for consultation and are worried about their "⚪︎⚪︎," it makes me think that even such beautiful people still have problems.

Please discuss your concerns and complexes with us and we will give you friendly advice. But "What else should I do?" and if you are not satisfied with the current situation and think of more x2, it is a bit of a danger signal.

Cosmetic surgical procedures are a means to improve the quality of life and should not become an end.

We want to have the mindset of "knowing enough.
