Zetith Beauty Clinic procedure guide | A full rundown of nose, eyes, lift, and injectables
1. Introduction (an overview of the main procedure categories our clinic handles)
Aesthetic medicine is not merely a change in appearance; it is an important step for each patient to regain confidence and walk a more positive life. At Zetith Beauty Clinic, what we consider first is not only surface beauty, but providing safe, high-quality aesthetic medicine based on medical evidence (grounds) and detailed anatomical knowledge.
The main procedure categories our clinic handles are wide-ranging: "rhinoplasty," which greatly governs the impression of the whole face; the "facelift," which rebuilds youthfulness from the root; "double eyelid surgery," which resolves complexes about the eyes; "hyaluronic acid injection," which combines convenience and safety; and even specialized auricular reshaping such as "prominent-ear correction."
2. Rhinoplasty — representative techniques, downtime, material choice, and the points of choosing a physician
The nose is located at the center of the face and is an extremely important part that determines the overall three-dimensionality and proportion.
Real data on representative techniques and material choice
- Autologous costal cartilage (ACC):Because it is one's own tissue, biocompatibility is very high, and a complication rate of about 14% is reported, but this is thought to be because it tends to be chosen for higher-difficulty revision surgery. There is a risk of "warping (distortion)" with a probability of about 5%. The cost range is about 300,000 to 800,000 yen.
- Silicone prosthesis:Inexpensive and easy to process, with a removal rate of about 12%. It has the advantage that it can be safely removed and replaced in case of trouble. The cost range is about 250,000 to 600,000 yen.
- Medpor (high-density polyethylene):Porous with high fixation force, but on the other hand, removal when infection or trouble occurs is extremely difficult.
The medical reality of downtime
- Peak of swelling:48 to 72 hours after surgery (days 2 to 3)
- Cast removal and return to society:Cast removal and suture removal on days 5 to 7 after surgery. Return to society possible about 2 weeks after surgery
- Final completion:about 1 year
3. Facelift — deep plane vs. SMAS, the duration of effect, and suitability for Asians
The clear difference in "apparent age" by technique
The result that Gibstein et al. (2021) measured with AI in 105 patients:
- Skin-only lift: on averageminus 2.95 years
- SMAS plication method: on averageminus 5.35 years
- SMAS excision method: on averageminus 5.85 years
The suitability of the deep-planefaceliftfor Asians
In the study by Wong et al. (2024), a deep-planefaceliftwas performed on 61 Asian patients, with a low complication rate and good results reported. In the 22-year, 600-case data of Kao and Duscher (2024), there were 0 cases of flap necrosis or permanent facial nerve injury.
When fat grafting was combined, an additional rejuvenating effect of a further2.1 yearswas confirmed.
4. Double eyelid surgery — buried-suture method vs. incision method, and 5-year satisfaction data
The buried-suture method has a short downtime of about 1 week to 10 days, but on the other hand,within 3 years after surgery about 20 to 30% of people experience a fading or disappearance of the double-eyelid line. For people with thick eyelids, there are many cases where the incision method is advantageous in long-term cost-effectiveness.
5. Injection treatment — the safety and efficacy data of hyaluronic acid
In a study of 29 Asians, the nasal shape improved in 93.1% of patients, and at a follow-up of 12 months or more, 96.6% maintained the effect. 79.3% answered "satisfied."
6. Other (prominent-ear correction, etc.)
The method using hyaluronic acid has a duration of about 12 to 18 months. For those who want a semi-permanent effect, surgery is recommended.
7. Cross-category themes
A cross-cutting comparison of downtime
- Hyaluronic acid injection:a few days to 1 week
- Double eyelid surgery (buried-suture method):1 week to 10 days
- Double eyelid surgery (incision method):2 to 4 weeks or more
- Facelift:2 to 4 weeks, completion in 3 to 6 months
- Rhinoplasty:return to society in 2 weeks, complete repair in about 1 year

8. Summary
There is no "magic" in aesthetic medicine. An objective viewpoint based on multifaceted data is indispensable — such as the SMAS excision method, which AI judged to show rejuvenation of minus 5.85 years, and hyaluronic acid injection, whose effect lasts 12 months or more.
