Suture Removal

• Sutures must be removed within the recommended period.
• If left in too long, suture marks may remain.
• Face: 5–7 days
• Ears: 7–10 days
• Arms/legs: 10–14 days
• The removal date may vary depending on the wound condition and healing progress.

Disinfection Treatment

• To prevent bleeding, infection, scarring, and wound reopening, we recommend visiting a nearby clinic for wound disinfection care.
• Normal symptoms: Mild pain, slight bleeding, or discharge may occur for 2–3 days after suturing.

Precautions Before Suture Removal

• Avoid water contact: Keep the wound area dry. Washing or showering is possible after applying a waterproof pad to the wound area, and normally after suture removal.
• Take prescribed medication: Please take all prescribed medication as directed to prevent infection and inflammation.
• No alcohol or smoking: Avoid drinking and smoking until suture removal for proper wound healing and skin regeneration.
• Do not irritate the wound: Do not forcibly remove scabs. Let them fall off naturally.
• ※ If the sutured area opens significantly, pain becomes severe, or yellow discharge appears, please contact the clinic immediately and visit for treatment.

• Stitches will be removed on the 5th day. You may wash your face the day after stitch removal.

• Avoid using straws, as they can place excessive pressure on the mouth area.
• Please note that all surgical procedures carry potential risks such as infection, inflammation, or other complications, which may vary by individual.
• For procedures involving intraoral incisions, there is a possibility that orthodontic devices or veneers may be damaged.

Implant Removal / Scar Tissue Removal

• Scars may appear most noticeable around 2–3 months after surgery but will gradually fade and become less visible after approximately 6 months.
• Avoid direct impact or excessive handling of the incision area, as this may increase the risk of infection.

Facial Contour Implants (Cheek, Chin, Forehead)

• If you undergo forehead implant surgery, wear the compression band for 4–5 days unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
• For chin or cheek implants with intraoral incisions, regular gargling with a disinfectant solution is recommended to prevent infection. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the implanted area to prevent displacement.

Swelling

• Swelling typically increases for the first 2–3 days after surgery. However, within 1–2 weeks, about 70% of the swelling and wounds in the mouth will subside, allowing you to return to normal activities.

Pain

• Pain usually lasts for 1–2 days but is not severe. By the 3rd day, you should hardly feel any pain. If the pain is severe, you may take additional painkillers such as Tylenol (avoid aspirin or other painkillers).

Diet

• You may start consuming water or beverages 4 hours after surgery. After discharge, focus on soft, liquid foods (such as porridge, soup, dairy products, sponge cake, and sweet potatoes) for 1–2 days. After that, transition to a regular diet emphasizing soft foods for the next 3–4 days.

Post-Surgery Treatment Instructions

• Avoid alcohol and smoking for 4 weeks to prevent infection.
• Take your prescribed medication without skipping any doses.
• Be cautious of bleeding for 2–3 days post-surgery. If your jaw suddenly swells significantly or bruising becomes severe, contact and visit the hospital immediately.

• To prevent bleeding, avoid painkillers such as aspirin, vitamin E, and hormones for at least one week post-surgery. Tylenol is acceptable.
• To reduce swelling, sit upright as much as possible during the day for the first 3 days. When lying down, keep your head elevated by 15–20 degrees (use two or three pillows) and avoid lying on your side.
• Apply cold compresses for the first 3–4 days, using a towel or gauze to avoid frostbite from direct ice contact.
• The sutures inside your mouth are dissolvable and will disappear on their own within 3–4 weeks.
• Wait at least one week before applying makeup or other skin treatments. Avoid saunas and full-body baths for 2–3 weeks.
• You may wash your face gently after about one day. Avoid rubbing for approximately 3 weeks.
• When chewing food, most facial muscles are used unconsciously. If you chew hard or tough foods, there is a high possibility that the operated bone will move. For best results, refrain from eating hard foods for about 3 weeks and eat porridge or soft foods.
• Apply Vaseline frequently to keep your lips from drying out.
• Gargle after eating or drinking to prevent inflammation. Use only water for gargling, as mouthwash such as Garglin may irritate the wound.
• When brushing your teeth, avoid touching the surgical area by using a children’s toothbrush.
• Wear the bandage (support garment) for 2–3 days, up to 24 hours at a time, without making it too tight. Continue wearing it for one month.
• When sleeping, relax and maintain a comfortable position. Avoid excessive dairy products, as they may interfere with medication absorption.
• Do not use straws, as they can put pressure on your mouth.
• All surgeries carry risks of complications such as infection and inflammation. Each patient’s condition is unique, and complications may vary.
• Braces or laminates in your mouth may be damaged during general anesthesia.

• A small incision of approximately 2–2.5 cm under the chin may leave a scar; however, it typically fades gradually within about 3 months.
• Bruising and swelling vary from patient to patient. In some cases, a hematoma may develop but usually resolves within 2 weeks. If it persists, needle aspiration may be required.
• Light activities such as walking are recommended soon after surgery. Avoid strenuous activities or intense exercise for 1 month. Excessive neck stretching or certain yoga movements should be avoided for 3 months.
• Gentle facial cleansing is allowed immediately after surgery, but ensure that the dressing over the incision area remains dry.
• Routine follow-up visits are not required after the first week unless symptoms or complications arise.
• Wear the compression band regularly for up to 1 month to support optimal healing and results.
• After the dressing is removed, apply a specialized scar cream to help fade the incision scar more effectively.
• To prevent hyperpigmentation, apply sunscreen regularly to the treated area for at least 6 months when engaging in outdoor activities.

General Post-Operative Care

• Avoid alcohol consumption and smoking for at least 1 month after surgery. For optimal fat graft survival, it is strongly recommended to avoid both for up to 2 months, as smoking reduces blood flow while alcohol dilates blood vessels and may negatively affect the survival of transplanted fat.
• Liposuction does not remove all fat cells. Future weight gain may still lead to new fat accumulation in treated areas. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is important to preserve optimal results.
• Avoid foods high in salt, as excessive sodium intake may cause fluid retention and worsen swelling.
• Use the protective pads provided by the clinic during the first night of sleep, as mild bleeding or fluid discharge from the incision sites may occur.

Showering & Sutures

• When showering, cover the suture areas with waterproof dressings. After showering, the dressings may be removed.
• Sutures from liposuction areas are usually removed on postoperative day 7, so please attend your follow-up appointment as scheduled.
• It is normal to experience slight bleeding or fluid discharge from the incision sites during the first 1–3 days after surgery.

Nausea & Dizziness

• On the first day after surgery, you may experience nausea or dizziness due to the effects of anesthesia. Drink plenty of water and practice deep breathing to help speed up recovery.

Liposuction

• Wear the compression garment for 2–3 months after surgery. The garment helps reduce swelling, supports skin tightening, and promotes faster recovery by maintaining proper skin and muscle positioning.
• Swelling typically peaks within the first 2–3 weeks and then gradually subsides. Due to gravity, fluid may collect around the ankles or knees. While resting, keep your legs slightly elevated.
• If the compression garment feels too tight, it may be removed temporarily for about 1 hour for comfort.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 1 week, and preferably up to 1 month. After the first week, gentle massage may help reduce swelling and improve areas that feel uneven.
• Mild discomfort may persist for 2–3 days. Get adequate rest according to your body’s needs.
• Please visit the clinic for a follow-up the day after surgery. If this is not possible, you may remove the gauze yourself on day 1 or 2 and continue with daily adhesive dressings.
• Patients using dental devices such as braces or veneers should be cautious, as there is a risk of damage during general anesthesia.

Fat Grafting

• Swelling and bruising usually improve within 1–2 weeks. Apply cold compresses to the grafted areas to help reduce swelling, but avoid direct pressure on the transplanted fat.
• Regenerative dressings covering the grafted areas should remain in place for the first 4–5 days.
• Avoid rapid or significant weight loss during the healing period (approximately 2–3 months), as this may affect fat survival.
• For 2 months, avoid sleeping face-down or applying excessive pressure to grafted areas to prevent displacement of the transplanted fat.
• You may wash your face immediately after surgery, but avoid full-body bathing until the sutures are removed.
• If your doctor provides specific instructions regarding replacement or removal of regenerative dressings, please follow the clinic’s guidance carefully.

General Post-Operative Care

• Chest pain is usually most noticeable during the first 24–48 hours after surgery and will gradually improve thereafter.
• Avoid strenuous exercise such as aerobics or weight training for at least 4 weeks. Light walking is permitted.
• Avoid hot showers, jacuzzis, and saunas for 4 weeks after surgery.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 2 months, as alcohol may increase the risk of infection, while smoking constricts blood vessels and interferes with healing.
• Complete rest is essential during the first 1–2 weeks when pain is still prominent. Avoid heavy physical activity and lifting during this period.
• Internal (absorbable) sutures are used together with external sutures to maintain incision stability.
• Absorbable sutures may surface during the healing process. If this occurs, please visit the clinic promptly for proper care.
• Use waterproof dressings while showering to keep the incision area dry. Remove the dressing carefully after bathing.
• If you use dental devices such as braces or veneers, please be aware that they may be at risk of damage during general anesthesia.
• If the incision is made through the armpit, avoid shaving the underarm area for 3–6 months to prevent irritation of the wound.
• Wear the support bra as instructed by your surgeon. Afterward, continue wearing a sports bra for at least 3 months to help maintain proper implant positioning.
• If a surgical drainage device (PCA) is placed, ensure that the valve remains open. This device is usually removed the following day.
• While sleeping, keep your upper body slightly elevated with pillows to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for at least 4 weeks until the breast tissue stabilizes.
• The pain pump (PCA) is typically removed on postoperative day 2. If you are unable to return to the clinic, you may remove it yourself using the provided alcohol gauze and hemostatic dressing. Please bring the PCA device back to the clinic during your follow-up visit on day 7.
• Take prescribed antibiotics for the first 7 days. Starting from day 8, begin taking anti-capsular contracture medication (such as Singulair) as instructed by your doctor.

General Post-Operative Care

• Sutures are usually removed approximately 10–14 days after surgery. During this period, keep the incision area dry.
• Complete rest is strongly recommended during the first 5 days. Avoid unnecessary movement or activity.
• When lying down, place a pillow under your knees to maintain a body angle of approximately 150 degrees. This position helps reduce tension on the incision, as lying completely flat may slow the healing process.
• Temporary numbness around the incision area is normal. Avoid applying hot or cold compresses directly to prevent burns or frostbite.
• Do not massage the incision area during the early recovery period.

General Post-Operative Care

• Chest pain is usually most noticeable during the first 24–48 hours after surgery and will gradually improve thereafter.

• Mild bleeding around the incision area is normal. If scabbing occurs, allow it to fall off naturally without picking.
• Because this procedure involves an incision, scarring around the areola may occur. Initially, the scar may appear red or slightly raised, but it usually improves over time. Scars do not completely disappear.
• Take prescribed antibiotics as directed. Inform the clinic if you are taking other medications, such as those for high blood pressure, diabetes, or liver conditions.
• Visit the clinic for suture removal between days 7 and 10 after surgery. Afterward, apply scar treatment gel (e.g., Noscarna Gel) twice daily, morning and evening.
• When engaging in outdoor activities, apply a thin layer of silicone-based scar cream (e.g., Dermatix Ultra or ScarDerm Ultra) to protect the incision from UV exposure.

• You may begin washing your hair starting from day 5 after surgery. Avoid direct contact with the incision areas and do not apply excessive pressure to the scalp.
• Use a mild shampoo, lather it in your hands first, then gently rinse with running water.

Sleeping Position

• For the first 2 weeks, sleep with your head slightly elevated (approximately 30 degrees) to help reduce swelling.

Facial Compression Band

• The compression band should not be worn too tightly; it should provide gentle, elastic support to the facial area.
• Wear the compression garment continuously during the first week. For the following month, it should be worn only while resting or sleeping.
• Using the compression headband helps promote healing, reduce swelling, and enhance tightening results.

Alcohol & Smoking

• Alcohol and smoking can impair blood circulation and slow the healing process. Smoking, in particular, narrows blood vessels and increases the risk of complications such as skin necrosis or wound separation.
• Avoid smoking for at least 1 month, and preferably up to 3 months for optimal results. Alcohol should be avoided for a minimum of 3 months.

Physical Activity & Exercise

• Avoid stretching or activities involving the neck and shoulder muscles for 3 months, as they may pull on facial areas that are still healing.
• Avoid strenuous exercise such as weight training, Pilates, yoga, or high-impact activities.
• If the incision appears red or irritated, stop the activity, rest, and apply a cold compress.
• Light walking is recommended starting 1 week after surgery to help reduce swelling.

Scar Care (Topical Treatment)

• Please visit the clinic between days 7 and 9 for stitch removal. After stitches are removed:
• Apply Noscarna Gel twice daily (morning and evening after cleansing).
• When going outdoors, apply a thin layer of Dermatix Ultra (or Scaderm Ultra) over the Noscarna Gel.

UV Protection (Sunscreen)

• UV exposure can worsen hypertrophic scar formation.
• Before going outside, apply Dermatix Ultra and allow it to dry completely, then apply sunscreen to the entire face.

Additional Notes

• Patients with orthodontic devices (such as braces, veneers, or similar dental appliances) should be aware that these may be at risk of damage during general anesthesia.

• Mild swelling and bruising may appear around the forehead and eyelids and usually improve within 7–10 days.
• After surgery, keep your head elevated above your chest while resting, and apply cold compresses for 3–4 days to help reduce swelling.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can slow down the healing process. If unavoidable, please postpone them for at least 4 weeks.
• Avoid sleeping on your side for 4 weeks and maintain proper sleeping posture. Jogging, swimming, and lymphatic massage should be avoided for 6 weeks.
• You may wash your face immediately after surgery; however, make sure that soap or water does not come into direct contact with the incision areas.
• Hair washing may be done gently starting from day 2. Avoid touching the incision area on the top of the scalp for 5 days, and the back of the scalp for 2 days.
• Adequate rest is essential for recovery, and Vitamin C intake is recommended to support collagen regeneration and speed up healing.
• For ENDO lifting procedures, the compression headband may be removed on day 2. After removal, continue wearing the compression headband for 1 week to help achieve optimal lifting results.

Swelling & Recovery

• After surgery, keep your head elevated above your chest while sleeping and avoid sleeping on your side during the first week.
• Nausea or dizziness may occur during recovery due to anesthesia. Drink plenty of water and practice deep breathing to help speed up recovery.
• Cold compresses may be applied for the first 4–5 days. Swelling and bruising usually improve gradually and subside within 7–10 days.

Headache

• Headaches after surgery are uncommon and usually improve within one week. If discomfort occurs, pain relievers such as Tylenol may be taken.

Facial Cleansing

• You may wash your face starting the day after surgery. Be gentle when cleansing areas covered with regenerative dressings.
• If the dressing comes off naturally, it may be replaced, but do not remove it intentionally. (Regenerative dressings such as
• DuoDERM should be worn for approximately one week.)
• Hair washing is allowed 2–3 days after surgery. Avoid saunas and hot showers for 1–2 weeks.

Post-Operative Care

• For the first 1–2 months, avoid facial massage or excessive pressure on the face.
• Light exercise is permitted after 3–4 days and may help promote fat absorption and circulation.
• Avoid hard foods and excessive facial movements during recovery.
• Do not smoke and avoid alcohol for at least one month.
• Jogging, swimming, and lymphatic massage should be avoided for six weeks.
• Get adequate rest and take Vitamin C to support collagen regeneration and speed up recovery.
• After 4 days, remove the tape on your own, and return to the clinic for stitch removal on day 7 or day 10. Wear a compression headband for one week.

Swelling

• Due to the nature of the Accusculpt laser treatment, swelling may persist post-treatment.
• Generally, major swelling lasts about 3 days to 1 week, while residual swelling can last up to 1 month.
• As collagen fibers in the skin regenerate, the full effect may take 2–3 months to become more apparent.

Recovery

• A needle puncture is made in the epidermis to insert the laser probe. After the procedure,
• you may have small puncture marks resembling acne scars for about 1 week.
• You may experience a feeling of tenderness immediately after the procedure,
• but this is part of the natural healing process and should subside within about 2 weeks.

Cleansing

• You can begin cleansing the day after the procedure. Do so gently while wearing the healing bandage. If the bandage falls off, replace it but avoid peeling it off intentionally. The healing bandage (DuoDerm) should be kept on for a week.
• It’s recommended to wait 2–3 days after the treatment before shampooing. Avoid saunas and baths for 1–2 weeks after the procedure.

Additional Precautions

• For 1–2 months after the procedure, avoid facial massages or any significant impact to the treated area.
• Light exercise can be resumed after 3–4 days, which may help with the faster absorption of dissolved fat.
• Avoid chewing hard foods or making excessive facial movements during the recovery period.

Post-Surgery Care

• On the first and second days after the surgery, there may be some nosebleeds. Gently wipe away any blood, but do not use unsterilized tissues or cotton swabs to clean inside the nostrils.
• The most important part after nose surgery is ensuring that the implant or cartilage stays in place while healing. Avoid any movements that could displace these structures.
• Be cautious of external pressure or trauma. When sleeping, ensure that your nose is not pressed or impacted, which could shift the implant. It is recommended to sleep with your upper body elevated at a 45-degree angle.
• Avoid colds or bacterial infections to reduce the risk of complications.
• Refrain from squeezing pimples or leaving wounds untreated as this could lead to inflammation or infection.
• Glasses should be avoided for the first 3–4 weeks after surgery to prevent pressure on the nose.
• Avoid saunas and steam rooms for about 4 weeks post-surgery.
• Smoking and drinking alcohol should be avoided for at least one month after surgery. Smoking increases the risk of skin necrosis and infection, so it is essential to quit during recovery.

Swelling

• Swelling typically starts to reduce from the sides of the nose and gradually moves down to the tip.
• About 60% of the swelling will subside within the first week, 30% within 2 months, and the remaining 10% will continue to resolve over 6 months.

Cold and Warm Compresses

• Apply cold compresses for the first 3 days post-surgery to reduce swelling. Afterward, switch to warm compresses to help with further swelling reduction.

Washing Face and Makeup

• Normal facial washing can resume the day after suture removal. You may also wear makeup, but avoid scrubbing or rubbing too hard.

Post-Surgery Treatment

• Apply nasal ointment (starting on day 1 or 2, after removing any gauze) using a cotton swab to the inside of the nostrils where the sutures are located. Apply 3–4 times a day for 7 days.
• Be careful not to blow your nose for up to 3 weeks after surgery to avoid disrupting the healing process.

Other Precautions

• If general anesthesia was used, be aware that dental appliances like braces or veneers may be at risk of damage during surgery.

Other Precautions

• If general anesthesia was used, be aware that dental appliances like braces or veneers may be at risk of damage during surgery

Post-Hospitalization Precautions

• During the surgery, a tube is inserted through the nasal passage into the bronchial tube for anesthesia and breathing support. This may cause throat irritation or discomfort for 3–4 days post-surgery.
• It is normal to experience phlegm buildup and bleeding through the nose and mouth for the first 3–4 days. If breathing becomes difficult due to phlegm, inform the medical staff.
• Some nausea or dizziness may occur on the first day post-surgery due to blood flowing into the stomach. It is important not to try to induce vomiting.
• Pain and headaches are most intense immediately after surgery but should begin to decrease after 2–3 days. Pain can be managed with prescribed painkillers; inform your healthcare provider if the pain is severe.
• Deep breathing exercises are vital for helping to expel anesthesia gases from your system, while ice compresses can help reduce swelling. Practice deep breathing for at least 4 hours and apply ice compresses for the first 48 hours. Apply ice for 10 minutes followed by 5 minutes of rest.
• Maintaining a seated position during hospitalization will help reduce swelling and ease breathing.
• The tape and blood drainage bags attached to your face will be removed within 1–2 days post-surgery. The face may be fixed using rubber bands (for SSRO) for 1 week or wires (for IVRO) for 2 weeks, depending on the surgical method.
• Swelling will peak during the first 3–7 days after surgery, with significant reduction occurring within 1 month (70–80% reduction), and further improvement over the next 3–6 months (approximately 90% reduction).

Dietary Guidelines After Double Jaw Surgery

• You must fast for the first 4 hours after surgery. After this period, you may drink small amounts of water, but minimize intake on the first day to avoid nausea.
• Consume soft or liquid foods such as porridge, soup, soy milk, or mild broths until your first follow-up visit. Avoid hot, spicy, salty foods, caffeinated items, and carbonated drinks.
• Do not chew with your front teeth, as pressure may lead to gum discoloration or bone misalignment.
• This restriction is essential for the first month after surgery. Avoid using your front teeth for hard foods for 2–3 months.

Post-Discharge Care After Double Jaw Surgery

• To reduce swelling, maintain an elevated upper body at home. Sleep with your head slightly raised for the first week and engage in light activities such as walking.
• You may shower and wash your hair, but avoid bending your head downward. Wash your hair while standing. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or bathing in hot water.
• Depending on the procedure, your first follow-up visit will be 5–16 days after surgery. If your mouth was tied during hospitalization, return 7–14 days after fixation. Follow-up schedules may vary based on the procedure and individual recovery.
• At your first follow-up, you will learn exercises for opening and closing your mouth if your upper and lower teeth were fixed. Avoid repeatedly checking the surgical site by opening your mouth, as this may hinder healing.
• Swelling may fluctuate. If you experience sudden swelling, bleeding, severe pain, or fever, contact the hospital immediately.
• Maintain proper oral hygiene to prevent infection. Mix mouthwash with water in a 1:1 ratio and rinse 3–4 times daily, along with 10 or more water rinses. Use a soft, child-sized toothbrush and avoid brushing the surgical gum areas or applying pressure to the front teeth. If your teeth are tied, clean only the outer surfaces. Do not use toothpaste until your first follow-up visit.
• Ice therapy should not exceed 48 hours, as prolonged use may impair circulation and delay recovery. Regular walking is the most effective method to reduce swelling.
• Do not drink alcohol or smoke for 2 months to prevent infection.
• For the first 3–4 weeks, avoid strenuous activities such as saunas, hot baths, swimming, or intense exercise. Choose light showers and be cautious of dizziness to prevent falls.
• You will be prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, stomach protectants, and pain relievers for 7 days. Follow the prescribed schedule carefully and complete all medications. Store pain relievers in the refrigerator.

Post-Procedure Care

• Mild pain may occur on the day of the procedure. To minimize swelling, apply cold compresses or ice packs for 2–3 days.
• During the recovery period, keep the surgical area elevated above the heart while sitting.
• You may apply makeup and cleanse your face the day after the procedure, but avoid placing pressure on your cheeks.
• For at least 3 weeks after surgery, avoid smoking, alcohol, or other irritants. Saunas or jjimjilbang (Korean spas) may be used 3–4 weeks after surgery.
• Avoid spicy or salty foods on the day of surgery. For oral hygiene, rinse frequently with a disinfecting mouthwash to prevent infection.
• Take all prescribed medications as instructed to prevent infection.
• For the first week, brush your teeth gently and avoid direct pressure on the surgical area. Do not rub the surgical site.
• Do not touch or stimulate the surgical site with your tongue.
• For approximately one month after surgery, avoid massaging or rubbing your cheeks, including facial massages, as this may interfere with healing.
• Do not apply tape or bandages to the surgical area.
• The area may feel sunken or tight, but this should gradually improve over time.
• If you have braces or dental laminates, exercise caution as they may be affected during the healing period.

Swelling

• Swelling and bruising will gradually subside over 1–2 weeks. Do not remove the tape from the fat grafting area for 4–5 days.

Drinking and Smoking

• It is recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for one month after surgery, and ideally for two months to allow proper engraftment. Smoking reduces blood circulation and alcohol constricts blood vessels, which can negatively affect fat graft survival.

Weight Loss

• Avoid weight loss immediately after surgery and during the engraftment period. Transplanted fat may also shrink with weight loss, reducing the effectiveness of the procedure.

Engraftment of Fat

• It takes approximately 2–3 months for the fat to stabilize. Your face may appear swollen for 1–2 weeks after surgery and slightly swollen for 1–2 months. During this period, facial contours may continue to change.
• The decision for a second procedure should be considered 4–6 weeks after surgery.

Face Washing & Showering

• You may wash your face immediately and take a shower starting the day after stitch removal.

Post-Surgery Treatment

• Avoid sleeping face down or excessive massage for about 2 months.
• Sleeping on your stomach may cause fat displacement or interfere with engraftment, especially in major grafting areas such as the forehead and cheeks.
• Remove the tape applied to the fat grafting area after 2–3 days.
• Visit the hospital on day 7 for stitch removal at the fat collection site.
• After fat harvesting from the thigh, medication or fluid may drain from the site. Sleep on a pad or towel for about one day.
• Avoid pressing or irritating the fat grafting area.
• When showering, apply a waterproof bandage to prevent water from contacting the stitch area, and remove the bandage after showering.

2nd Session & Fat Retouching

• If your surgical plan includes a second session or a "touch-up," please note the following timeline:
• Scheduling: You must contact the clinic to schedule your retouch between 1 and 3 months after your initial procedure.
• Storage Limit: Due to biological viability standards, harvested fat is stored for a maximum of 3 months.
• Disposal: Any fat remaining after the 3-month mark will be automatically and safely disposed of.

Pre-Surgery Precautions

• Discontinue use of hair growth products such as Minoxidil (Minoxidil, Moxidil) 3–4 days before surgery.
• Shampoo the evening before and the morning of surgery, but do not use any hair styling products.
• Stop taking vitamin E, aspirin, ginkgo, and other blood-thinning medications 1 week before surgery.
• Avoid alcohol consumption for 3 days before surgery.
• Discuss your health condition and current medications with your doctor during consultation. Continue prescribed medications for hypertension or diabetes until the day of surgery and afterward, unless otherwise instructed.
• Do not shave your head. Keep the hair in the donor area at least 3 cm in length.
• Have a light meal on the day of surgery.
• As sedatives may be used, do not drive after the procedure.
• Bring a hat to cover the area after surgery, ensuring it is not too tight.
• If you have many gray hairs, it is recommended to dye the donor area black one week before surgery.

Post-Surgery Care

• Shampoo gently in the morning and evening, avoiding rubbing the transplanted area. Rinse with lukewarm or cold water rather than hot water.
• During the second week, if scabs remain on the transplanted scalp, soak them with shampoo foam for 5 minutes and gently remove them. Do not remove scabs forcefully, as this may cause hair loss.
• After one month, you may gently massage the transplanted area while shampooing. When blow-drying, avoid hot air; use cool or lukewarm air and dry the scalp thoroughly.
• Apply ointment only to the donor area (back of the head) twice daily until stitches are removed. For the non-incision method, apply ointment for 2 weeks.
• Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, such as sauna, steam rooms, intense exercise, or excessive head tilting, for one month after surgery.
• Sleep on your back in an upright position.
• Avoid hair treatments other than cutting or shampooing during salon visits.
• You may resume Minoxidil or other scalp treatments, including injections, after one month. Vitamin supplements may be resumed 3 days after surgery, and anti-hair loss medication should be taken after stitch removal.

• You can wash your face and apply makeup from the next day. Keep the adhesive tape on the treated area until the wound heals.
• The lifting effect typically lasts 6 months to 1 year, with better results from repeated sessions.
• Take the prescribed medication for 3 days to prevent infection and reduce pain. Inform the medical staff if you have a history of antibiotic allergies or other medical conditions.
• Sleep with your head elevated for 3 days to reduce swelling.
• Refrain from drinking alcohol, using saunas or hot baths, and intense exercise for one week.
• You may experience nausea, dizziness, headache, bruising, swelling, pain, tightness, or a pulling sensation around the eyebrows. These symptoms usually improve within 1-2 weeks.
• The treated area may feel slightly numb, but this should improve over time.
• The full lifting effect will gradually become noticeable about 1 month after the procedure.
• If you experience persistent dizziness, skin discoloration, itching, or heat despite taking the prescribed medication, contact your clinic immediately.
• In rare cases, the suture may come to the skin surface. Do not touch it; visit the clinic for proper care.
• Avoid rubbing or applying strong pressure to the treated area for 1-2 months.
