T-Zone Surgery and Supraorbital Ridge Explained by Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery~ Let's Learn About a Three-Dimensional T-Zone!

Hello. This is Uber Plastic Surgery!

The topic we will discuss today on 'Uber Explains' is

the 'T-zone'.

T-zone surgery, which combines rhinoplasty and forehead fat grafting,

was a very popular topic 4 to 5 years ago

as a surgical method to create a three-dimensional face.

Because the surgery itself is highly difficult,

it has been mentioned less frequently in recent times.

However, the reason Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery

prepared this topic!

It is because he strongly agrees with the opinion that

a beautiful T-zone is essential for a truly beautiful and three-dimensional face.

So today, we will explain the definition and surgical methods of T-zone surgery.

First, let's look at photos of celebrities with beautiful and handsome T-zones

as we explain the T-zone!

The first is BTS V.

If you look at V's face from a 45-degree angle,

the position of the brow bone is slightly prominent,

and from there, the wide brow bone connects to the bridge of the nose,

creating a line that naturally narrows down!

Conversely, when excessive forehead fat grafting is done

and a high, thin implant is inserted,

it creates a very thin and unnatural T-shape,

which is considered an incorrect T-zone that looks obviously surgically altered.

Next is aespa's Karina.

Just like V,

when looking at Karina from a 45-degree angle, you can see a T-zone

that connects naturally from the exact brow bone to the bridge of the nose.

It can be said that she has a very exotic, three-dimensional, and beautiful face.

Next is (G)I-DLE's Miyeon.

Unlike V and Karina, whom we looked at earlier,

hers is not as strong and can be considered a slightly more Korean-style T-zone.

A T-zone like Miyeon's is the kind of T-zone that can be created through surgery.

Now, let's talk about how T-zone surgery is performed.

If you search on the internet or YouTube, you will also find something called 'supraorbital ridge'.

This refers to the appearance where the bone located right above the glabella and orbits is elevated.

Although not many people actually do this,

some people create a T-zone

through supraorbital ridge surgery, which involves inserting an implant above the nose

or inserting a forehead implant.

In the case of Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery,

he generally does not recommend supraorbital ridge surgery using implants.

While it is difficult to judge what is good or bad,

it is actually not easy to create a T-zone using implants,

and the most important factor is whether it can be reversed after surgery.

However, if an implant is inserted through the nose,

it is extremely difficult to remove it later,

and even if removed, there is a risk that the area will severely cave in.

Inserting an implant through the forehead also

requires a very large incision on the forehead,

which can lead to a sparse hairline

or fluid accumulation,

so forehead implant surgery is not commonly performed these days.

Therefore, the T-zone created by Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery

involves performing rhinoplasty and fat grafting together.

You could call it a traditional method!

However, depending on the design skills,

the results can vary significantly.

For a successful T-zone surgery,

here are Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery's tips!

The first is not to insert the implant too high.

If you push the implant far up to raise the T-zone,

only the glabella will become higher instead of the T-zone,

resulting in a thin and unnatural T-shape.

The second is to shape it using fat grafting as much as possible.

This method is also not easy,

but if you shape it with fat grafting,

even if it's not a strong T-shape,

you can create a soft, Korean-style T-zone.

One thing to note here is that not everyone

can create a T-zone

through fat grafting and rhinoplasty.

If the eyebrows are sagging or there are wrinkles,

the edges of the implant may show through when inserted.

In such cases, a forehead lift that gently raises the eyebrow position

must be prioritized to secure enough space for fat grafting

in order to create a soft-looking T-zone.

Today, with Dr. Seo Seung-jo of Uber Plastic Surgery,

we learned about T-zone surgery!

T-zone surgery is, in fact, a very difficult procedure.

For the best results, please proceed with the surgery

based on an accurate consultation and meticulous analysis!
