A rib-remodeling post that explicitly describes osteotomy
Dr. Moon's ILCHI article describes lower-rib contouring using partial bone cutting and inward angle adjustment rather than complete removal. It outlines CT and ultrasound assessment of rib dimensions and body proportions, small-incision access, repositioning, and postoperative support. The post also considers flank fat removal and hip fat grafting as separate contouring components, with the overall aim of changing the waist-to-hip relationship.
In this clinic article, Dr. Moon explains blood collecting beneath operated tissues and describes sudden asymmetric swelling, pressure, or pain as concerning postoperative changes. He discusses medication review with the treating physicians, blood-pressure and nausea management, careful hemostasis, dressings, drains, and his use of hemostatic mesh in selected cases. The post notes that a drain does not eliminate hematoma risk and describes how treatment depends on the collection's extent.
This ILCHI overview presents Folding Zero lifting through the relationship between the chin, under-chin tissues, and neck. It outlines different plans for muscle laxity alone, tissue descent after contouring, and combined skin and muscle changes. The clinic describes chin repositioning and platysma fixation, with access and follow-up selected according to anatomy and recovery response, while discussing contour from both frontal and profile views.
Dr. Moon's clinic article describes revision planning through the condition of skin, fat, muscle movement, and adhesions left by earlier surgery. It considers high or low creases, asymmetry, weak fixation, bulky folds, and hollowing, with different corrective steps rather than one uniform operation. The post also discusses waiting for tissue stability and providing follow-up according to the patient's recovery response.
This ILCHI article describes its Folding Zero concept as coordinated correction of chin descent and under-chin tissue laxity. It outlines differing plans for isolated muscle displacement, changes after contouring surgery, and combined skin and muscle descent. Chin repositioning and central platysma fixation are presented alongside attention to contour, expression, and postoperative observation, with the clinic emphasizing the relationship between the chin and neck.
Dr. Moon's ILCHI article reports attending a meeting led by Dr. Kao and reflects on how endoscopic inspection, tissue release, and suture tension inform lifting plans. It describes varying the access according to laxity and considering fat grafting when volume is deficient. The post also acknowledges bleeding, swelling, infection, and nerve-related asymmetry as matters requiring postoperative attention, despite its promotional framing.
Dr. Moon's ILCHI post considers rib orientation, waist width, pelvic proportions, and fat distribution when describing waist contouring. It outlines CT and ultrasound assessment followed by lower-rib adjustment rather than removal, fixation, and postoperative garment support. Flank liposuction and hip fat grafting are discussed as possible additional treatments, while monitoring and individualized recovery instructions are presented as parts of the clinic's process.
This ILCHI article describes a Ponytail lift through assessment of facial structure, small scalp access, endoscopic release, and fixation of supporting tissues. It discusses tailoring the direction and strength of lifting and adjusting excess skin where selected. Dr. Moon also outlines the clinic's stated follow-up arrangements and contrasts the approach with a broader incisional facelift, without providing a comparative outcome study.
In this clinic reflection, Dr. Moon describes learning through domestic and international meetings, anatomical workshops, live operations, and online sessions. He recalls traveling to meetings in the United States and Europe and reports giving presentations on eyelid surgery and chin correction. The post emphasizes ongoing study and professional relationships, while explaining how operating a clinic can affect opportunities for travel and in-person participation.
In this ILCHI explanation, Folding Zero lifting combines assessment of chin descent with the tissues beneath the chin. The article describes intraoral access, reuse of previous incisions, or an additional submental approach depending on the affected layers. It discusses central platysma fixation and selective fat removal alongside chin repositioning, with the stated goal of coordinating the profile rather than considering each area in isolation.
This ILCHI article describes waist contouring through assessment of rib thickness, length, direction, and the body's proportions. Dr. Moon outlines a remodeling approach intended to retain the ribs, using small access points and ultrasound observation, followed by fixation and garment support. The post also discusses flank liposuction and hip fat grafting as possible additions and describes the clinic's staged recovery monitoring.
Dr. Moon's clinic case discussion contrasts a younger patient with cheek descent and limited skin excess against an older patient seeking broader facial and neck correction. The first account describes a Ponytail approach after the patient declined a proposed brow procedure; the second describes combined brow, face, and neck surgery with hairline-conscious incision planning. The post uses these examples to explain why tissue findings and preferences influence the operative plan.
