Piezo-assisted rib osteotomy in an ILCHI waist-contouring post
This ILCHI explanation describes a waist-contouring operation involving partial osteotomy of the floating lower ribs and inward repositioning rather than removal. It names piezo equipment and outlines CT and ultrasound planning, access, fixation, and postoperative support. The clinic also discusses flank liposuction and fat grafting as possible complementary contouring procedures, with overall body proportions influencing the plan.
Dr. Moon's ILCHI post describes combining chin repositioning, platysma fixation, and selective fat removal when both chin descent and under-chin concerns are present. It distinguishes muscle-only changes from more extensive tissue laxity and previous contouring surgery, explaining that access and tissue treatment vary. The article frames its intended contour across frontal and profile views and outlines the clinic's stated follow-up arrangements.
This clinic interview-style post recounts consultations with Japanese patients who had previously tried injections, lasers, or threads. One highlighted patient requested a Ponytail lift, but the speaker recommended an incisional facelift after considering pronounced descent, asymmetry, and earlier uneven fat grafting. The article emphasizes explaining the operative method and choosing it from the tissue findings rather than simply proceeding with the procedure requested initially.
Dr. Moon's ILCHI article describes using facial structure and skin characteristics to plan an endoscopic lift, including the direction of release and fixation. It presents cheek, nasolabial, and contour changes as potential treatment aims and includes excess-skin adjustment in its sequence. The post also outlines the clinic's stated surgical oversight and staged follow-up, framing the operation around individual anatomy rather than a single standard design.
This ILCHI overview describes Ponytail surgery through anatomical assessment, endoscopic release, fixation, and adjustment of excess skin. It discusses tailoring direction to facial proportions and contrasts the clinic's approach with a broader incisional facelift. A short FAQ addresses scars, recovery, and duration, while the body describes consultation and postoperative services rather than supplying an individual patient's documented result.
In this clinic FAQ, Dr. Moon discusses recurrence, whether to remove previous fixation hardware, expected appearance during recovery, and the distinction between repositioning soft tissue and shortening bone. He describes coordinating hardware removal with correction when a patient wants it, and notes that a separate lift may be considered when jawline changes extend beyond the chin. His outcome estimates are explicitly presented as impressions from practice.
This ILCHI article presents Folding Zero lifting as a combination of chin repositioning and under-chin muscle support. It describes examining the affected layers and earlier procedures before choosing intraoral, submental, or combined access. Central platysma fixation and selective fat adjustment are discussed within the overall profile, with the clinic emphasizing intended continuity from the chin to the neck and individualized postoperative observation.
Dr. Moon's ILCHI post describes examining facial asymmetry, skin characteristics, and supporting tissues before a Ponytail lift. It outlines endoscopic access, ligament release, fixation, and adjustment of excess skin, with the intended lifting direction chosen for the individual's proportions and movement. The article also compares its approach with a broader facelift and describes postoperative care as part of the clinic's service.
In this clinic question-and-answer article, Dr. Moon distinguishes surgical suturing from thread lifting and explains that skin removal depends on the degree of laxity. He discusses the dissection planes used in his Ponytail approach and how a later facelift might be considered. Notably, he acknowledges that the clinic does not have ten-year follow-up for this operation, presenting his duration estimate as a reference rather than measured long-term evidence.
Dr. Moon's clinic article explicitly describes partial cutting of the lower ribs and inward angle adjustment, distinguishing this from complete rib removal. It outlines imaging, small-incision access, repositioning, and garment-supported recovery. Flank liposuction and fat grafting around the hips are discussed as possible additional components for changing proportions, with the clinic describing its monitoring and aftercare arrangements.
This ILCHI explanation presents mini lifting as a limited-access surgical approach for selected midface and jawline changes. It describes planning the direction of repositioning, addressing skin and SMAS support, and adjusting tissue distribution before closure. The clinic also outlines postoperative monitoring and adjunct services, while framing the desired change around the patient's proportions and expression rather than a uniform lifting pattern.
Dr. Moon's ILCHI article describes examining a drooping chin in relation to underlying bone, soft tissue, and prior procedures. It discusses contouring surgery, implants or fillers, and existing anatomy as possible parts of the history. The post outlines differing approaches for muscle laxity alone and combined skin descent, with CT-based assessment and fixation presented as elements of individualized planning.
