Considering the nose and chin together

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case combines septal-cartilage nasal surgery with chin augmentation. The writer discusses the forehead-nose-lip-chin profile and explains how relative projection can influence the appearance of the mouth. The account illustrates whole-face planning, while predictions about further definition as swelling resolves remain expectations rather than documented later results.

A sleepy appearance without weak opening muscles

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case describes unequal skin coverage that resembled ptosis although opening function was judged normal. The writer explains choosing a buried crease without an additional opening-strength procedure and presents early follow-up. The distinction is between appearance and mechanism: the same complaint can lead to different plans after a direct examination.

Acceptance of a fat-complication conference poster

· Academic activity report · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This academic announcement reports acceptance of a poster on treating problematic facial fat grafts for the 2018 meeting in Chicago. The writer describes collecting clinical material, planning attendance with a colleague and anticipating publication in a journal supplement. It records an accepted presentation and future plans, rather than demonstrating that the later full research paper had already appeared.

An implant-free approach to a nasal hump

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case discusses a hump, nasal deviation and obstruction alongside a drooping tip. The writer describes reshaping the bridge, adjusting the bones and septum, and using native cartilage where augmentation was needed. The one-month account emphasizes assessment of both appearance and breathing rather than assuming that removing a hump alone resolves every concern.

Brow position after repeated upper-eyelid surgery

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case describes a woman in her sixties with brow descent and more apparent nasal-root wrinkles after repeated upper-eyelid operations. The writer discusses endoscopic lifting and adjustment of brow shape, with a one-month comparison. The account considers the forehead-eye relationship rather than assuming that another crease operation would address every concern.

Forehead and cheek fullness after repeated fat transfer

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case concerns heaviness around the eyes and a bulky contour after repeated facial fat grafting. The writer discusses removing problematic grafted tissue while avoiding irregularity and injury. The post notes that palpable tissue alone need not require treatment and that further removal or volume correction may occasionally be necessary.

Thread lifting when a facelift was declined

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case describes a patient who preferred a less extensive option despite being advised to consider a facelift. The writer discusses liposuction with a three-region thread strategy and notes that additional treatments or surgery may be needed. The example illustrates a compromise in planning, rather than equivalence between threads and excisional lifting.

Teaching crease surgery at OSAPS in Bali

· Academic activity report · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This academic report describes a presentation in Bali on crease formation when eyes appear sleepy despite normal opening strength. The writer credits a mentor's technique and distinguishes his eyelid topic from a colleague's lower-face lifting presentation. Membership and reception are described by the author; they should not be converted into independent endorsements or current credentials.

Fat lumps alongside post-contouring descent

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case combines cheek descent after bone-contouring surgery with repeated facial fat transfer. The writer describes identifying both tissue position and grafted lumps, then using aspiration and absorbable threads in a relatively young patient. Early and two-month views illustrate the account, without separating the effect of each component or proving long-term support.

An early buried-crease recovery example

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case presents seven-day and one-month views after buried-suture crease surgery. The writer challenges assumptions that recovery always takes a year or that repeated operations are inherently necessary. The post nevertheless acknowledges differences in tissue and technique; its favorable example should not be converted into a promised recovery timetable.

What the natural-adhesion label describes

· Patient education · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

In this post, the writer explains that natural-adhesion crease surgery is a form of buried-suture surgery rather than a wholly separate textbook operation. The discussion describes internal adhesion and possible limited fat treatment, while identifying skin excess, thickness and opening difficulty as reasons another approach may be considered.

Selecting an outline crease from existing anatomy

· Case discussion · Dr. Moon’s personal blog

This reported case concerns an intermittent natural outline crease that the patient wanted to make more consistent. The writer discusses skin thickness, opening strength and the inner-corner fold when considering that shape. A two-month comparison accompanies a warning against copying a celebrity crease without considering whether it fits the individual's anatomy.
