Treatments
Pick the area that brings you here. The clinic lists who each procedure is for, how it is done and how long daily life is usually affected.
For A wide midface, cheekbones that stand out from the front, or a face that feels large across the middle.
The side of the cheekbone is cut at a 45 degree angle, turned inward and locked in place so it does not slide back. The clinic lists about 15 minutes of surgery for its quick method.
Daily life Listed as 2 to 3 days before returning to daily life.
For A square jaw, with a wish for a softer line from the ear to the chin.
A cut of about 2.5 cm behind the ear. The jaw is cut in one long curve from the angle toward the chin, and the secondary angle is corrected.
Daily life Listed as 3 to 4 days before returning to daily life.
For A square jaw, for people who want a slimmer front and side view.
Uses a high-definition endoscope through the cut behind the ear. About one hour under sleep anesthesia, according to the clinic.
For A wide, long or protruding chin.
The cut is made inside the mouth. The chin bone is trimmed and reset without metal plates or pins. Length and width are planned on CT and X-ray images.
Daily life Listed as 3 days before returning to daily life.
For Results that did not meet expectations after a previous contour surgery, asymmetry, or functional problems.
Bone has already been cut once, so the clinic stresses a careful diagnosis and plan before revision. The process runs from consultation to surgery to aftercare.
Daily life Listed as 1 night in the clinic and about 7 days before daily life.
For Thin lids without much fat, a wish for quick recovery, or a fold that kept disappearing.
Small openings are made at six points and thread joins the lid layers to form the fold. Three line styles are offered: in-fold, out-fold and in-out-fold. The clinic lists about 30 minutes.
Daily life Listed as 2 to 3 days before returning to daily life.
For Thick or sagging lids, or anyone who wants to remove extra fat and tissue.
The line is designed first. Extra fat and tissue are removed, the fold is fixed and the cut is closed. About 30 minutes, with local or sleep anesthesia.
Daily life Listed as 5 to 6 days before returning to daily life.
For Heavy eyelids, a sleepy look, or a habit of lifting the brows to open the eyes.
Works on the muscle that lifts the lid, without cutting the skin. The clinic says it can be combined with a double eyelid line.
Daily life Listed as 3 to 4 days before returning to daily life.
For A wide gap between the eyes, a prominent inner fold, or short, narrow-looking eyes.
The inner corner (epicanthoplasty) is planned by the type and depth of the fold. An outer corner option is also described. About one hour.
Daily life Listed as 3 to 4 days before returning to daily life.
For Bulging under-eye fat, hollows, or a tired look.
Fat is removed or moved into the hollow. Where there is little fat, a small amount is added so the area looks even.
Daily life Listed as 3 to 4 days before returning to daily life.
For Lines that are too thick, too high or too low, uneven eyes, or a result you are not happy with.
The clinic says revision is usually done 6 months to 1 year after the first surgery, once swelling and scar tissue settle. The surgeon decides the timing after examining your eyes.
Daily life Listed as about 5 days before returning to daily life.
For A low, rounded or downward-pointing tip.
Mostly your own tissue is used, such as ear cartilage, to reshape the tip. The tip position is set first, then the bridge is matched to it.
Daily life Listed as 5 days before returning to daily life.
For A low or flat bridge, or a nose that gives little depth to the face.
A silicone implant is placed under the bone membrane to raise the bridge. The tip is usually shaped with your own cartilage.
Daily life Listed as 5 days before returning to daily life.
For An upturned nose, a humped nose, a long or deviated nose, a bulbous tip or wide nostrils.
The clinic has separate pages for each of these. The plan depends on your nose, which is checked at consultation.
For An implant that shows through or moves, tightness around the implant, or a deviated nose.
The clinic advises waiting at least 6 months to 1 year after the previous surgery. The cause of the first result is checked before the plan.
Daily life Listed as 5 days before returning to daily life.
For Deep nasolabial folds, jowls, or skin that has lost firmness.
Two kinds of thread and mesh hold the sagging skin. A cut of 1 to 2 cm is made in the hairline. About one hour.
Daily life Listed as 7 days before returning to daily life.
For Sagging across the whole face, or when other lifting methods did not give enough change.
The skin and the deeper SMAS layer are separated and pulled up separately. The clinic lists 2 to 3 hours.
Daily life Listed as 1 to 2 weeks before returning to daily life.
For Hollow temples or cheeks, forehead or smile lines, or a wish for a fuller face.
Fat is taken from the thigh, abdomen or arm, purified in a centrifuge and placed where volume is needed. PRP is also used.
Daily life Listed as 7 days before returning to daily life.
For A narrow or flat forehead, or forehead wrinkles.
The clinic offers forehead shaping and a forehead wrinkle lift. Which one suits you is decided at consultation.
For Fat in the chin, back, arms, flanks, abdomen, buttocks, thighs or calves.
Fat is removed in a plan that considers body shape, not just the amount. The areas are chosen with you.
Daily life Listed as about 1 week before daily life.
For Wrinkles, hollows, a flat nose or chin, or a wish for volume without surgery.
Hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin. Used for the forehead, under the eyes, between the brows, nose, cheeks, smile lines, chin, lips and hollows. 5 to 10 minutes with numbing cream.

How we work
The clinic works on a named-surgeon system. The surgeon you meet at consultation is the one who operates.
The plan is built on your face and your wishes. Procedures are explained with who they suit, how they are done and what recovery looks like.
A visiting anesthesiology specialist joins the team, and the clinic has an operating room, a recovery room and a CT scanner for planning bone surgery. Aftercare continues after you go home.
