0 00:00:00.075 --> 00:00:00.675 Hello 1 00:00:00.675 --> 00:00:04.275 I'm Kim Eungsam, a plastic surgeon at SOON Plastic Surgery 2 00:00:04.925 --> 00:00:09.025 Today we’ll talk about botox and fillers 3 00:00:09.875 --> 00:00:18.475 We’ll look at what botox and fillers are, what are botox and fillers? 4 00:00:18.726 --> 00:00:23.826 Botox is a toxin that is made from germs in the natural world 5 00:00:23.826 --> 00:00:26.676 This toxin paralyzes the muscles 6 00:00:26.676 --> 00:00:30.626 With that function, we use it to paralyze our facial muscles 7 00:00:30.626 --> 00:00:34.226 And use it to smooth out the wrinkles 8 00:00:34.776 --> 00:00:41.427 Fillers are literally what we use to fill up what we lack of 9 00:00:42.177 --> 00:00:45.427 What’s the treatment area of botox and fillers? 10 00:00:45.727 --> 00:00:48.977 The part that botox is mainly used 11 00:00:48.977 --> 00:00:51.477 Is to paralyze the muscles 12 00:00:51.977 --> 00:00:57.177 The parts where we develop wrinkles that we don’t want 13 00:00:57.977 --> 00:01:01.027 Middle of the forehead for example 14 00:01:02.227 --> 00:01:05.578 We want to give a good impression to others 15 00:01:05.978 --> 00:01:12.128 And with the wrinkles, we think we’re giving an impression that we’re frowning 16 00:01:12.128 --> 00:01:14.878 In that case, when you get botox 17 00:01:15.628 --> 00:01:20.228 You no longer frown, so you look more gentle 18 00:01:20.478 --> 00:01:25.428 And people who laugh a lot have wrinkles around the eyes 19 00:01:25.428 --> 00:01:29.078 In this case when you get botox, the wrinkles smooth out a lot 20 00:01:29.428 --> 00:01:34.129 So we get to control our impressions with the use of botox 21 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:39.629 For fillers, if the wrinkles are deep, typically the laugh lines 22 00:01:40.029 --> 00:01:43.979 We make the wrinkles thinner with fillers 23 00:01:43.979 --> 00:01:48.029 Wrinkles in the forehead can be filled as well 24 00:01:48.029 --> 00:01:52.779 Even if it’s not wrinkled, drooped eyebrows for younger patients for example 25 00:01:53.029 --> 00:01:56.979 Or sunken eyes, fillers can be used 26 00:01:58.580 --> 00:02:04.980 Which is more appropriate and how is the duration length? 27 00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:08.430 It seems many people are confusing botox and fillers 28 00:02:08.430 --> 00:02:11.530 So I’ll tell you once again to make it clear 29 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.680 Botox and fillers are completely different 30 00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:18.830 Botox is, as you can know from its name 31 00:02:18.830 --> 00:02:22.830 It’s a toxin, a poison 32 00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:25.081 It’s good when you use it well 33 00:02:25.081 --> 00:02:27.581 But if it goes in a lot, it paralyzes the muscles 34 00:02:27.581 --> 00:02:30.131 So it can cause side effects 35 00:02:30.631 --> 00:02:34.431 So it’s what you use to paralyze the muscles 36 00:02:34.431 --> 00:02:37.881 You should know we’re not filling something 37 00:02:37.881 --> 00:02:41.281 With botox 38 00:02:41.531 --> 00:02:44.931 Some people say that you got puffed up after getting botox 39 00:02:44.931 --> 00:02:47.981 But it’s wrong to say that 40 00:02:48.381 --> 00:02:50.882 Fillers are literally what fills up something 41 00:02:50.882 --> 00:02:55.032 So it makes sense to say that you got puffed up after getting fillers 42 00:02:55.182 --> 00:02:58.532 So fillers fill up what you lack 43 00:02:58.882 --> 00:03:02.182 For duration length 44 00:03:02.332 --> 00:03:05.982 Botox is a toxin so 45 00:03:05.982 --> 00:03:12.582 Botox’s duration length is the period that our body restores the paralyzed muscles 46 00:03:13.032 --> 00:03:17.283 That’s about 6 months 47 00:03:17.783 --> 00:03:23.683 For fillers, there are differences in products but the thing we use the most 48 00:03:24.133 --> 00:03:30.883 Hyaluronic acid, lasts for about a year and a half 49 00:03:32.733 --> 00:03:36.083 Are there cases when you shouldn’t get botox or fillers? 50 00:03:36.733 --> 00:03:39.783 There's no specific group of people who shouldn't be getting botox and fillers 51 00:03:40.233 --> 00:03:43.034 if one is a healthy person 52 00:03:43.534 --> 00:03:47.734 You shouldn't use Botox if you have particular muscle problems 53 00:03:48.434 --> 00:03:51.384 In the case of fillers rarely 54 00:03:51.384 --> 00:03:56.884 some people have allergic reactions that should avoid it 55 00:03:58.734 --> 00:04:05.384 Does the more Botox you get, the better or less effective it is? 56 00:04:05.934 --> 00:04:08.584 There's been a lot of research on that 57 00:04:09.085 --> 00:04:14.435 As I said before Botox isn't made by humans 58 00:04:14.435 --> 00:04:21.435 The toxins that are made from bacteria in nature are isolated and used in humans 59 00:04:21.885 --> 00:04:26.935 Because it's a toxin, when it comes into our body, from our body's point of view 60 00:04:27.435 --> 00:04:33.085 It's a bad substance, so our bodies run the immune system. And if it comes in repeatedly 61 00:04:33.485 --> 00:04:36.886 We have no choice but to defend it by making antibodies 62 00:04:37.336 --> 00:04:41.036 So each of these Botox. Of course, 63 00:04:41.036 --> 00:04:46.986 Botox is a product name, so there are many products coming out from various companies 64 00:04:47.586 --> 00:04:51.086 In each company, their products 65 00:04:51.386 --> 00:04:54.986 Make much less of these antibodies 66 00:04:54.986 --> 00:04:58.636 That is why the effect can last for a long time 67 00:04:59.186 --> 00:05:00.336 And is maintained well 68 00:05:00.336 --> 00:05:04.137 But if you use it repeatedly 69 00:05:04.387 --> 00:05:09.187 It's natural to expect that the body will get used to it 70 00:05:09.687 --> 00:05:11.187 That's what I think 71 00:05:11.537 --> 00:05:13.687 As for fillers 72 00:05:13.687 --> 00:05:18.487 It goes inside the body and decomposes anyway 73 00:05:18.487 --> 00:05:22.287 So it doesn't break down faster or later by using it repeatedly 74 00:05:22.787 --> 00:05:25.537 As I think 75 00:05:26.787 --> 00:05:34.188 Is it okay if I get another type of filler after getting one? 76 00:05:34.388 --> 00:05:37.838 We don't recommend mixing fillers 77 00:05:37.838 --> 00:05:39.588 There are two reasons for that 78 00:05:39.588 --> 00:05:44.138 As I said before, fillers are foreign substances 79 00:05:44.638 --> 00:05:48.338 When these different foreign substances are added 80 00:05:48.338 --> 00:05:52.488 It's hard to deal with any infection or something like that 81 00:05:52.838 --> 00:05:59.489 And the second reason is when the melting speed of the filler is different 82 00:06:00.089 --> 00:06:03.539 It's hard to shape it 83 00:06:04.239 --> 00:06:07.789 So if possible, it's better to use one type of filler 84 00:06:08.239 --> 00:06:12.039 It's not good to mix different fillers 85 00:06:14.489 --> 00:06:17.389 Do Botox and fillers also have side effects? 86 00:06:17.389 --> 00:06:18.589 Of course 87 00:06:18.889 --> 00:06:21.990 Botox, as I said before 88 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:27.140 Is poisonous, so it can cause fatal side effects if used incorrectly 89 00:06:27.140 --> 00:06:31.290 For example, if it's a muscle that we really need, but if it's paralyzed 90 00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:33.290 It's really bad 91 00:06:33.290 --> 00:06:37.040 It really shouldn't have happened, but in the early days of Botox 92 00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:40.240 There was a patient I actually saw 93 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.340 People usually put Botox on the jaw muscles 94 00:06:44.590 --> 00:06:50.541 To make the chin slimmer, that was the case for this patient 95 00:06:50.991 --> 00:06:55.491 But the Botox went into the neck muscles 96 00:06:55.491 --> 00:06:59.391 So the patient couldn't turn their neck 97 00:06:59.891 --> 00:07:02.391 And had to spend months in that state 98 00:07:02.591 --> 00:07:05.491 It's a huge side effect 99 00:07:05.791 --> 00:07:09.391 There was also a patient who got Botox to get the wrinkles smooth out on the forehead 100 00:07:09.691 --> 00:07:12.492 But it caused that patient not being able to open their eyes 101 00:07:13.242 --> 00:07:16.942 Of course, it will return to normal after 6 months 102 00:07:17.492 --> 00:07:20.992 But those who have that symptom can experience a very uncomfortable situation 103 00:07:21.742 --> 00:07:25.292 So when injecting Botox 104 00:07:25.292 --> 00:07:29.042 Doctor must know the exact anatomy and use the correct dosage 105 00:07:29.642 --> 00:07:31.742 As long as the fillers are concerned, 106 00:07:31.992 --> 00:07:34.342 A lot of people are interested in it and know it well 107 00:07:34.892 --> 00:07:39.193 The most dangerous thing about fillers is direct entry into the blood vessels 108 00:07:39.393 --> 00:07:42.343 If the filler enters the blood vessels directly 109 00:07:42.343 --> 00:07:46.393 And blocks the arteries leading to some important tissue 110 00:07:46.843 --> 00:07:49.143 That tissue can be destroyed 111 00:07:49.993 --> 00:07:53.843 The most important tissue on the face is the eyes 112 00:07:54.793 --> 00:07:58.793 So it's very rare in the world 113 00:07:59.593 --> 00:08:02.143 Very rarely, there have been reports of blindness 114 00:08:02.143 --> 00:08:06.094 Due to blocked arteries leading to the eyes 115 00:08:06.094 --> 00:08:12.494 So people think that the fillers are a very light procedure 116 00:08:13.194 --> 00:08:16.294 But we need to keep in mind that Fillers is an operation that must be performed very carefully 117 00:08:19.294 --> 00:08:24.744 What are the precautions after Botox and fillers? 118 00:08:24.744 --> 00:08:28.794 Botox and filler procedures are a bit casual 119 00:08:28.794 --> 00:08:32.545 So you may think easily 120 00:08:33.245 --> 00:08:37.795 From the standpoint of a plastic surgeon who operates this surgery, it's a operation need to be conducted carefully 121 00:08:37.795 --> 00:08:43.345 So after the procedure, For example, if your face has more blood circulation 122 00:08:43.345 --> 00:08:44.545 This Botox 123 00:08:44.895 --> 00:08:49.045 It can move to the side a lot 124 00:08:49.445 --> 00:08:53.895 It's best not to drink too much or exercise too much on the day of the procedure 125 00:08:53.895 --> 00:08:55.295 Same to saunas 126 00:08:55.295 --> 00:08:57.546 It's the same for fillers 127 00:08:57.796 --> 00:09:03.046 Even if we insert it into the area you want if you get a massage 128 00:09:03.396 --> 00:09:07.246 It can move around. So it's important 129 00:09:08.046 --> 00:09:11.646 Not to move a lot and touch it for about a week 130 00:09:11.996 --> 00:09:15.846 Today, we talked about Botox and fillers 131 00:09:15.846 --> 00:09:17.996 Did it help you a lot? 132 00:09:17.996 --> 00:09:21.396 I'll come back with a new topic next time
