In this clinic article, Dr. Moon discusses why a broad waist may remain after weight loss. The explanation contrasts lower-rib remodeling with removing ribs and describes imaging, fixation and recovery support. It also discusses how flank liposuction or hip fat transfer may be considered alongside skeletal planning, presenting these as elements of the clinic's individualized approach.
This clinic post presents an informal conversation about choosing the ILCHI name, revising interior plans and opening the practice. It also recounts early chin-repair experiences involving an implant-removal patient and another patient with descent, followed by interest generated through a blog case. These are personal recollections and reported cases, rather than a formal history of procedural validation.
In this post, the clinic explains why an altered lower-face outline may prompt assessment of support rather than volume reduction alone. It discusses previous surgery, augmentation and baseline structure, alongside movement during smiling and mouth closure. The proposed repair varies with muscle and skin involvement, with chin curvature and the distribution of volume included in planning.
In this post, the clinic considers why waist shape may change less than body weight. Its explanation includes lower-rib angle, skeletal width and the relationship with the pelvis. The described surgical pathway uses imaging, remodeling, stabilization and recovery guidance, while liposuction and hip fat transfer address different soft-tissue components of the intended silhouette.
In this post, the clinic outlines Ponytail lifting from evaluation through recovery. It describes endoscopic inspection, a hairline incision and adjustment of tissue position according to facial balance. The discussion links cheek and lower-face contour rather than isolating a single wrinkle, and includes regular review of pulling sensations, swelling and incision condition after surgery.
In this post, the clinic discusses lower-face changes that can follow altered support, previous contour surgery or augmentation. It describes different access routes for muscle laxity and combined skin involvement, and includes difficulty closing the mouth among reasons for assessment. Repositioning, reshaping and support are presented as design steps rather than simply reducing the visible chin outline.
This clinic post discusses nonabsorbable elastic suspension threads in a written question-and-answer format. It describes material construction, selected jaw and neck uses, inflammation requiring removal, and a reported removal during chin surgery. The speaker explicitly recognizes incomplete follow-up when discussing longevity and compares possible tissue changes after repeated absorbable-thread treatment with later facelift dissection.
In this post, the clinic explains its combined lower-face approach by examining chin movement, tissue descent and platysma support. Four examples distinguish isolated chin problems from combined skin and neck laxity. Treatment planning may use intraoral and submental access, while the stated contour goal is a balanced transition seen from both the front and side.
In this post, the clinic outlines a limited-incision lifting approach that addresses skin and underlying facial support together. It discusses personal differences in skin thickness, fat and tissue elasticity, then describes repositioning, fixation and closure near the hairline in front of the ear. The recovery account includes observation of bruising and swelling rather than a fixed timetable.
In this post, the clinic describes changing lower-rib direction while separately considering fat thickness and hip volume. Its recovery discussion includes support-garment instructions, posture, sleep habits and timing of exercise, with monitoring of pressure and movement. The explanation presents waist contour as a proportional design problem, rather than assuming that every wider waist is caused by excess fat.
In this post, the clinic describes Ponytail lifting for concerns involving the cheek and lower facial outline. It explicitly includes endoscopic inspection and relates the lifting plan to fascial support, hair direction and symmetry. The account distinguishes improving surrounding descent from directly erasing a deep nasolabial crease, and describes follow-up tailored to incision condition and swelling.
This clinic post records a conversation about chin discomfort and eyelid revision. Moon acknowledges that he cannot establish the timing of post-contouring chin descent from his own follow-up data. The eyelid discussion emphasizes explaining anatomical limits, releasing previous surgical changes and restoring tissue relationships before creating a new crease, while acknowledging that severe damage can restrict correction.
