Foreign Body Removal: “ Safe Removal of Foreign Body, Natural Restoration ”

Foreign Body Removal: Foreign Body Removal is a specialized surgery that safely removes previously used implants or injected substances with poor biocompatibility or that were inappropriately inserted. Foreign materials that cause problems such as inflammation, infection, foreign body sensation, and asymmetry over time are accurately identified and removed by the safest method possible, with natural reconstruction using autologous tissue performed simultaneously when needed.

how: How Is It Removed?

Facial Foreign Body: Removed simultaneously during full-face dissection in facelift surgery High-resolution endoscope used when needed → minimizing damage to surrounding tissue, bleeding, and nerve injury

Forehead Foreign Body: Removed during endoscopic forehead/brow lift surgery by dissecting the forehead, temple, and temporal region Position and degree of adhesion confirmed via endoscope without additional incision, then removed with minimal incision

Nasal (Nose Bridge) Foreign Body: The endoscopic forehead/brow lift dissection is extended to the glabella and nose bridge for removal Precise location identified with high-resolution endoscope, safely removed without additional incision

ZELL Plastic Surgery employs an integrated approach that simultaneously considers Secondary Facelift and foreign Body removal.

Foreign body removal is a sophisticated surgery that goes beyond simple 'extraction'. Especially in the sensitive area of the face, even a minor mistake can cause skin deformation, nerve damage, or scarring, making a meticulous approach essential. The goal is not simply removal, but also a beautiful and natural restoration.

process: Overall Surgical Procedure

Consultation & Diagnosis: The type, location, and degree of adhesion of the foreign body are precisely diagnosed, with high-resolution ultrasound and palpation diagnosis performed as needed.

Surgical Planning: Decision is made on whether to perform reconstruction or concurrent facelift / forehead lift alongside the foreign body removal.

Safe Removal: Natural access during the facelift / forehead/brow lift dissection process, minimizing tissue damage through endoscope use or delicate dissection. Adhesion release, foreign body removal, and vascular/nerve protection are performed simultaneously.

Tissue Recovery & Reconstruction: The empty space after removal is guided toward natural recovery or supplemented with autologous fat, dermis, or other tissue.

Surgical Results

Stable Skin Recovery: By removing the foreign body that caused inflammation and deformation, inflammatory reactions such as swelling and pain gradually subside.

Minimized Tissue Damage: By meticulously differentiating and removing the skin flap and soft tissue, damage to normal tissue is minimized, supporting natural recovery.

Correction of Deformity & Asymmetry: The contour and balance of areas deformed by foreign body are corrected, restoring a natural and harmonious facial line.

Psychological Stability & Confidence Restored: Free from the discomfort and anxiety caused by foreign body, both appearance and psychological well-being are restored with stability and confidence.
