Video transcript

This might be a little hard to hear for people with thick skin, sorry, but you can think of it this way: with thin skin, every result is better. The one and only downside is that people with thin skin may sag a little faster. But with thin skin, in eye surgery, the chance of ending up with “sausage” double eyelids (thick, puffy-looking folds) drops a lot,

and in nose surgery, if the skin covering it is thick, no matter how much I do on the inside, honestly, only so much of it can show through, whereas with thin skin, whatever I do on the inside will show through really nicely.

There are lots of advantages in terms of shape, and while I wouldn't go so far as to talk about side effects, you can think of thin skin as having a lower chance of the shape turning out a little less pretty. And in terms of lifting, if you take a thin-skinned patient's face and pull it to the side with your hands like this, you can see it pulls really well.

So naturally, you can expect the lifting effect to be that much better too.
