Revision eyelid assessment and tissue-specific planning

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

Dr. Moon's clinic article describes assessing eyelid thickness, fat, muscle, adhesions, and earlier surgical changes before revision. It discusses crease redesign, asymmetry, loose fixation, bulky folds, and hollowing, with selective fat grafting as one possible component. The post also emphasizes allowing tissue stability and tailoring follow-up to the patient's recovery rather than treating every revision identically.

A clinic discussion of prior treatments and chin fixation

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

This ILCHI article cautions that injections, threads, and fat-reduction procedures may complicate some chin-drooping cases. The speaker describes examining mentalis attachment and remaining bone, and using additional bone-tunnel fixation for selected histories such as repeated surgery or previous implants. The post emphasizes explaining the cause and available approaches after examination, rather than choosing solely by an external incision.

Combining chin repositioning with central platysma fixation

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

Dr. Moon's ILCHI article describes coordinated treatment when chin descent and under-chin laxity occur together. It outlines examining muscle, skin, fat, and previous surgery before choosing access, fixation, and selective fat treatment. The post presents several clinic-branded terms for this approach and describes monitoring and follow-up as parts of its service.

How Dr. Moon describes encountering Ponytail lifting

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

In this clinic article, Dr. Moon recalls encountering Ponytail lifting at an overseas meeting around 2019 and describes it as an endoscopic midface approach.

Revision for bulky folds, asymmetric creases, and eyelid scars

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

This ILCHI article discusses examining crease position, movement, fat distribution, and adhesions before revision eyelid surgery. It describes different plans for asymmetry, loose fixation, bulky folds, and hollowing after previous fat removal, including selective grafting where considered. Dr. Moon also discusses tissue stability and individualized follow-up as parts of planning rather than simply repeating the first operation.

Selecting lift direction from anatomy and expression

· Patient education · ILCHI clinic blog

Dr. Moon's ILCHI article describes endoscopic inspection, release, and fixation through concealed access, with skin adjustment selected according to laxity. It emphasizes planning around facial proportions and movement, then outlines the clinic's stated surgical oversight and recovery services. Intended changes in the cheek, temple, and facial contour are described without an accompanying outcome series.

A surgeon's critique of lifting claims on social media

· Personal reflection · ILCHI clinic blog
