The basic and primary principles of face lifting and face line improvement are volume corrections, in other words, volume filling and volume reduction where are needed. Between the two, generally volume reduction is first procedure rather than volume replacement. After volume reduction, volume replacement is done using fat or hyaluronic acid fillers.
The areas that need volume reduction are lateral cheek fat, nasolabial fat, inferior jowl fat, double chin fat, below ear fat. And the areas that need volume replacement are forehead, glabella, temple, below lateral cheek, nose, lips, etc.
Permanent subcutaneous fat volume reduction using lipodestrucion method(not liposuction) make smaller, better good looking face and smoother face line especially in Asians. After sufficient fat removal, some people do not need volume replacement and if needed, ‘small’ volume replacement is enough. In conclusion, the people who want volume replacement using filler or fat injection need volume reduction using lipodestruction method first in the majority of cases

• Cannula
we use various types of cannulas rather than needle generally because of safety and prevention of treatment marks (bruise, swelling). But in some cases, needle usage is inevitable.
• Long time procedures
we take long time during procedure due to safety, prevention of side effects, treatment marks and delicate correction.
• Abundant experiences and studies
The final effects of filler injections and satisfaction of patients mainly depends on the skill of doctors. Dr. Park has 10 years of experiences, very high satisfaction rates.
• Good products
We use proven product, for example, Amalian and Juviderm etc. Proven products mean that show least side effects (for example, immediate and delayed allergic reactions) and have longer duration of effect than other products. And please keep in mind that the results depend on the skill of doctors, not products itself.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers
We use only hyaluronic acid fillers and do not use new products until sufficient evidences cannot verify them.
• Local anesthesia with sitting position
We use local anesthesia with sittting position, not sleep anesthesia. Communication between doctor and patients is possible, so delicate and accurate results are possible.
