Description

Facial Elevation Device {FACE-LIFTING DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a face lift device, and more particularly to a face lift device that reduces scarring and minimizes wrinkles on the face due to minimal incision in surgical operations, as well as providing cost savings and easy procedures and additional re-surgery. It is about.

As a person ages and receives more stress, not only an abnormality occurs in the body but also an aging phenomenon of the skin, and the elasticity of the skin decreases, and wrinkles occur in a specific area or the entire face of the face.

In particular, there is a strong hope for modern people that have a desire to look young, and at the same time, the tendency to cause wrinkles on the face to occur as little as possible with age, according to the basic instincts of humans sensitive to facial outwardness. Many people with wrinkles may not have a good overall impression, which may interfere with a smooth social life. Therefore, various techniques and methods for removing facial wrinkles are open to the public.

In order to remove the wrinkles on the face, looking at the domestic patent publications it can be seen that a number of technologies for the facial wrinkle removal device has been published.

Korean Patent No. 200375 "Face Wrinkle Removal Device" has been described as removing facial wrinkles by contacting the vibrating means with the face surface and stimulating the face surface by vibrating period generated from the vibrating means. However, by vibrating means in contact with the surface of the face like the above technology, only the epidermal layer is temporarily stimulated to provide only the feeling of removing wrinkles, and it is not sufficient to expect an excellent effect of eliminating deep wrinkles or wrinkles at all. This exists.

As described above, the technology for attaching the vibration means to the face surface is based on the type of vibration means or the vibration method, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 183690, 'Device for removing wrinkles on the face' to Korean Utility Model Registration No. 292052, There is a problem such as 'easy facial wrinkle remover' but all of the above disadvantages.

In other words, it is desirable to have a method to remove wrinkles larger and smaller more fundamentally by plastic surgery in addition to the method of unfolding wrinkles by simply generating vibrations on the face. Domestic Utility Model Registration No. 440132 The thread take-out mechanism provides a technology to bind the thread inserted from the hairy part to the wrinkled part of the face to the periosteum during the wrinkle removal procedure. (A part of the Msling-procedure that was once popular in domestic plastic surgery)

This technique is intended to provide the convenience of injecting a string into the skin in the so-called emsling face lift, which inserts a silicone string into the skin and pulls the string tight to tie the strings together. It provides only a fragmentary method for inserting the skin into the skin, and no measures are taken to improve the action of the string penetrated into the skin or to prevent the possibility that the string may flow into the skin. It is pointed out that a long string is inserted into the skin, which poses a high risk of side effects and at the same time, the treatment area is mainly limited to neck wrinkles.

In addition, there is an endotine procedure that is widely practiced in plastic surgery. The absorbent substance that is dissolved in the body is inserted into the skin after a certain period of time, and the rake in one part of the absorbent substance is pressed against the skin. It is a method of fixing, but after the absorbent material is melted, there is a problem that the adhesion to the skin is reduced and the effect of removing wrinkles is inferior, and a rather large scar is left because the absorbent material should be cut by cutting the skin of about 1.5 cm. This is pointed out.

Looking at foreign patent publications for facial coarse surgery based on such endodontic procedures, face-lifting devices such as WO 01/49194, US 6,440,121, US 6,974,450 are disclosed. As with 440132, the problem with the existing Endotine procedure that the scar is generated is largely limited to the wrinkle removal means, that is, the method of inserting the absorbent tissue into the skin. Since there is no specific mention on how to provide convenience when re-treatment is performed when the skin is struck again, it can be seen that there is a limit to providing more complete and reasonable facial elevation.

Therefore, there is a need for the emergence of new and advanced facial colossus, which is more convenient and can reasonably overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to overcome the problems of the above technique, and it is basic to fix fasteners in a bone and have a connector therebetween, so as to include a self-spring in the connector to increase sufficient tensile strength and retention life of the tensile force. The purpose.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a separate filament between the connector and the fastener to properly transfer the tensile force of the connector to the fastener, and at the same time to prevent the skin tendency by a plurality of thorns.

7) Quickly detects the position of the fastener and has the effect of ensuring the ease of additional or removal procedures.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are not drawn to scale, and like reference numerals in each of the drawings refer to like elements.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing the basic configuration of the face elevation apparatus according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the face elevation apparatus according to the present invention is mounted on the skin tissue and bone.

As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the face elevation apparatus according to the present invention is at least two fasteners (10) fixedly mounted in the bone, filaments are joined to the fasteners 10 and extend a predetermined length and a connector 30 for elastically connecting the filaments 20 and the filaments 20 extending from the fasteners 10. The fasteners 10 are bones. A drill 40 for inserting and fixing the inside may also be configured.

Here, the height of the fastener 10 is approximately 3mm, the length of the connector 30 is preferably about 6mm, the height of the face lift device according to the present invention in the state inserted into the skin may be 6mm, length is about 12mm. It is, of course, possible that these values may have a numerical range that varies with ㅁ depending on the application and the site of the procedure.

Fastener 10 is a filament 20 and the connector 30 is to provide a support force to faithfully serve to pull the sagging skin wrinkles means a configuration that is inserted and fixed at a certain depth in the bone. The fastener 10 is preferably made of a titanium (titanium) material widely used as a dental implant material in the dentistry in order to ensure sufficient rigidity and at the same time have a minimum reactivity with other foreign substances, but according to the other surgical uses and convenience It is also possible to use ceramics, polymeric synthetic materials, and the like.

The filament 20 is a structure for connecting between at least two fasteners 10 and the connector 30, it is possible to use a fiber or metal material such as nylon.

The filament 20 simultaneously serves to properly transfer the tensile force of the connector 30 having a resistance to the force that the stretched skin is to be restored to the fastener 10 and to prevent skin tendency.

A plurality of thorns 21 are formed on the surface of the filament 20, and the thorns 21 have a function of appropriately biting the skin tissue and thus have a function of reducing unnecessary self-flowing properties in the skin tissue. The barbed 21 has a pointed shape more than the projection of the connector 30 to be described later, the end of the barbed 21 is directed toward the fastener 10 is applied to the fastener 10 by an excessive tension force by the connector 30 It has a function to compensate for losing.

The connector 30 is positioned between the filaments 20 extending in a predetermined length in at least two fasteners 10, that is, located in the central portion of the face elevation apparatus according to the present invention. It has a role to keep in a pulled state.

If the skin tissue is stretched and supported in a non-elastic state by the filament 20 made of only a fiber material or a metal material between the fasteners 10, the skin tissue is a tissue that continuously moves with a certain elasticity and fluidity. When the fluid is relatively ineligible due to fluidity or elasticity is damaged by the filament 20 to maintain a fixed state, furthermore, if there is a large movement of the skin tissue skin tissue in which the filament 20 is planted There is a risk that the air will tear.

Therefore, the present invention is provided with a connector 30 having a sufficient elasticity between the fasteners 10 to be able to continuously pull the skin tissue while having fluidity and elasticity in accordance with the movement of the skin, instead of the filament 20 This serves to mediate the tensile force of the connector 30 to the fastener 10 in an appropriate manner to assist in the tensioned state of the connector 30.

1 and 2, the connector 30 is a shape in which a non-magnetic metal spring 31 is inserted into a housing 32 made of silicon, preferably in a substantially cylindrical shape. In the surface portion of the housing 32, a plurality of projections 33 are formed.

The connector 30 has a certain fluidity in accordance with the movement of the skin by the sufficient elasticity of the spring 31 and the housing 32 (mainly the elasticity of the spring will dominate the total elastic force) and at the same time maintain a constant tension To pull the skin tissue.

In addition, while the string used in the conventional emsling procedure is made of only silicon, there is a risk that unnecessary stretching occurs due to the silicon fatigue after a certain time, the connector 30 according to the present invention is a spring housing 31 of the silicon material By providing a configuration in which (32) is overlaid, the spring (31) prevents the fatigue of the housing (32) made of silicon and reliably reinforces the elasticity only by the silicone connector 30 even after a considerable time passes. It provides properties that can certainly prevent the problem of losing its elasticity.

A plurality of protrusions 33 formed along the surface of the housing 32, that is, around the periphery 33 serves to reinforce the integrity between the skin and the connector 30 after being inserted into the skin.

That is, because the housing 32 is made of silicon, it has a smooth property. Thus, when the housing 32 is maintained only in a smooth state, the housing 32 has an adverse effect of providing an unnecessary foreign object and at the same time does not have integrity on the skin, or becomes outward or in a specific direction. This causes a problem of being pulled out by the bar, which forms a myriad of projections 33 around the surface of the housing 32, which not only improves the grip grip of the drawn skin, but also improves the feeling of intimacy with the skin. By maintaining it can provide a property to prevent foreign body feelings of the person being treated.

Figure 3a is a perspective perspective view showing a specific configuration and coupling relationship of the fastener and the filament and the drill according to the present invention, Figure 3b is a cross-sectional view showing a coupling relationship to Figure 3a, Figure 3c is a coupling relationship to Figure 3a Top view of the.

As can be seen from Figure 3a, b, c, the fastener 10 according to the present invention has a shape similar to a bolt which is a typical machine tool, more specifically, the head 11 and the head ( 11) consists of a screw 12 having a thread 12a on its surface in an upright position in the longitudinal direction.

Head 11 is approximately 1mm in height, 1.5mm in width consists of a screw 12 is made of 2mm in height, 1mm in width. These dimensions can of course be changed depending on the purpose and site of the procedure.

Here, the head 11 is integrally coupled with the screw 12 to be inserted into the bone by the rotational force of the drill 40, but separately from the drill 40 along the outer circumference of the head 11. It is additionally provided with a filament connecting ring 13 which is a site having a position regardless of the rotation of the).

The filament connecting ring 13 is formed along the outer circumference of the surface of the side portion of the head 11 so that the end portion of the filament 20 is connected by knotting or laser bonding (preferably laser bonding). As the head 11 is rotated by the drill 40, only the filament connecting ring 13 is held in place, and the connector 30 is inserted without the inconvenience of winding the filament 20 around the head circumferential surface. It should be able to maintain a direct orientation to the skin area.

In the longitudinal direction of the fastener 10, two fasteners 10, the first groove 14 and the second groove 15, are provided to allow the fastener 10 to receive the rotational force of the drill 40 by engagement with the drill 40. Grooves are formed continuously.

The first groove 14 is a portion formed by vertically penetrating a predetermined center portion of the head 11 (depth from the upper end to the lower end of the head). The first groove 14 has a polygonal shape (hexagonal shape in FIG. 3). The first protrusion 42 is formed at the end of the tip 41 of the coupling.

The second groove 15 continuously penetrates vertically in the longitudinal direction of the screw 12 at the end of the first groove 14 and has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the first groove 14 and at the same time the first groove. Unlike the groove 14, it is not formed in a polygonal shape but is formed in a circular shape to be coupled to the second protrusion 43 of the drill 40.

Instead, the second groove 15 is not simply formed in a smooth circular shape, but has a thread 15a on its inner wall. That is, the second groove 15 is coupled to the second protrusion 43 to play a pivotal role in ensuring a firm coupling relationship between the drill 40 and the fastener 10 during the procedure. Needless to say, the thread 43a is also formed around the outer circumference of the second projection 43.

The first groove 14 serves to allow the screw 12 to dig into the bone by receiving the rotational force of the drill 40 after the first protrusion 42 of the drill 40 is coupled thereto. That is, it means a space that receives the rotational force of the first protrusion 42 of the drill 40.

The second groove 15 has a sharp end shape having a smaller diameter than the first protrusion 42 so that the drill 40 is not easily separated from the fastener 10 by the tension force of the connector 30 during the face elevation procedure. The protrusion 43 is accommodated so that the fastener 10 can have a closer engagement with the drill 40.

The first groove 14 generally has the basic role of receiving the rotational force of a rotary tool, such as the drill 40, but in particular the second groove 15 may be adapted to couple the drill 40 to the fastener 10 as mentioned above. It provides a pivotal function to facilitate easier, more convenient and quicker procedures without the inconvenience of being released into the fastened state by the tension force of the connector 30 in the state.

Referring to FIG. 3B, a conductive coating layer 16 is formed at a portion from the upper surface of the head 11 to the horizontal connection portion with respect to the second groove 15 along the vertical inner wall of the first groove 14. I can see that there is.

The conductive coating layer 16 is preferably made of a metal material having excellent conductivity, including gold (whereas other parts of the fastener are composed of an insulating material), as will be described later, the first and second protrusions of the drill 40. In the process of fastening the 42 and 43 to the first and second grooves 14 and 15 of the fastener 10, respectively, the horizontal surfaces formed by the first to second protrusions 42 and 43 of the drill 40 are formed. The position sensor 51 detects a contact state with the conductive coating layer 16, so that the first and second protrusions 42 and 43 of the drill 40 are respectively the first and second grooves 14, of the fastener 10. 15) and whether it is possible to detect whether or not there is a perfect tightening state.

The conductive coating layer 16 and the position sensor 51 of the drill 40 serve to ensure a perfect coupling relationship between the drill 40 and the fastener 10, as well as a re-surgery or removal operation for a considerable time. After about 5 years, it is possible to easily find the exact location of the fastener 10 that is already fixed in the bone of a specific facial area in the second procedure for pulling out the stretched skin. It is to play an important role to be able to accurately insert the drill 40 in the fastener (10).

The head 11 has an approximate trapezoidal shape consisting of upper and lower light beams, ie, a structure in which the upper portion is narrow and inclined to become wider toward the lower portion, and the filament connecting ring 13 has an upper directivity. In order to fix the fastener 10 in the bone, the filament connecting ring 13 is buried in the bone to prevent the phenomenon of being fixed in the bone together with the screw 12 of the fastener 10.

That is, the connector 40 and the filament 20 should also have fluidity according to the characteristics of the skin which has fluidity continuously. If the filament connecting ring 13 is fixed together with the screw 12 in the bone, the fluidity is secured. This is because the skin and the filament 20 may move separately because it may not occur.

In addition, the connector 30 should ultimately be located in the fat layer, the fat layer and the dermal boundary of the skin, or the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer, as shown in FIG. 2, slightly above the fastener 30. Since the position of the filament 20 is smoothly connected between the connector 30 having such a position and the fastener 10 having a relatively lower position, the side portion of the head 11 is inclined at a predetermined angle. It must be.

Figure 4a is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of the drill and the state in which the drill is coupled to the fastener according to the present invention, Figure 4b is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the drill according to the present invention.

The drill 40 not only provides a rotational force for inserting and fixing the fastener 10 to the bone, but also a complex function such as detecting the position of the fastener 10 and determining the insertion state of the bone when applying the rotational force to the fastener 10. Do this.

To this end, the drill 40 according to the present invention, like a well-known drill is provided with a motor 44 to rotate the tip 41, a battery unit 47, as well as on / off to rotation speed A control unit 48 having a button to adjust a to / forward / reverse rotation button 48a, a lock / release button 48b, and the like, first and second protrusions 42 and 43 formed at ends of the tip 41, The position sensing module 50 and the drive control module 60 are provided.

As described above, the first protrusion 42 is formed to protrude sharply at the end of the tip 41, and is a portion that is coupled to the first groove 14 of the fastener 10 and is a portion that actually rotates. . In addition, the second protrusion 43 is coupled to the second groove 15 of the fastener 10, and a thread 43a is formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof and corresponds to the shape of the second groove 15. The diameter of the tip 41 is smaller than that of 42, and the tip 41 has a function of achieving a more perfect engagement relationship with the fastener 10. FIG.

The position detection module 50 performs a function of confirming that the fastener 10 is located in a specific part of the skin, and determines whether the fastener 10 and the drill 40 are smoothly coupled.

Specifically, the position detection module 50 is composed of a position detection sensor 51, a current generating unit 52, the identification unit 53.

As can be seen again from Figure 3b, the position sensor 51 is formed in the peripheral horizontal plane made by the first and second protrusions 42 and 43, so that the first and second protrusions 42 and 43 are first and second, respectively. When coupled to the grooves (14, 15) serves to detect whether the bonding to the conductive coating layer (16).

In addition, the position sensor 51 may be made of a near-metal detection sensor, so that when the drill 40 is positioned around the skin, the buzzer sounds by the identification unit 53, and so on. It is also possible to make the location easier to find. (In this way, when detecting the fastener position, the position sensor can be operated alone without the influence of the current generator)

Specifically, when the position detecting sensor 51 is interlocked with the current generating unit 52, for example, the position detecting sensor 51 is formed of a conductive plate so that a current is generated in the conductive coating layer 16 according to the current generation of the current generating unit 52. It can detect the state when it passes.

For example, the human body causes a small current of a harmless level to be short-circuited to the tip 41 side of the drill 40 by the function of the current generator 52. Thereafter, when the tip 41 of the drill 40 is completely inserted into the first groove (including the second groove) in which the conductive coating layer 16 is formed on the inner wall, the first protrusion (including the second protrusion) may be shorted. The fine current flows through the conductive coating layer 16 in the first groove 14 to be detected by the identification unit 53 having the current sensing means.

The identification unit 53 is provided with a current sensing means to not only detect whether or not the current is generated, but also serves to inform the operator of the detection situation, such as the ringing of the buzzer or the light emission of the lamp.

By the position detection module 50, it is possible to easily identify the position of the fastener 10 fixed in the skin to facilitate the re-operation as well as to drill 40 to the fastener 10 made of a fine size When combined, they provide the ability to guarantee a more precise state.

The drive control module 60 has a forward / reverse selection button 48a to facilitate forward and reverse rotation of the tip 41 and provides convenience of control, and the second protrusion 43 further protrudes. Protruding portion adjusting portion 61 for protruding movement of the second protrusion 43 and securing / release button 48b for conveniently achieving protrusion of the second protrusion 43 to secure the length are provided. Doing.

That is, the second protrusions 43 are designed to protrude or enter more from the first protrusions 42, so that when the fixing / release button is pressed once, the second protrusions 43 protrude further in the advancing direction. When pressing the lock / release button (the lock / release button may be formed as one or each of the lock button and the release button) twice, the second protrusion 43 returns to its original state, that is, the first protrusion (42) provide a role to be embedded into;

The design of the drill 40 for further protruding of the second protrusion 43 allows the second protrusion 43 to be inserted into the first protrusion 42 so that the second protrusion 43 itself protrudes from the first protrusion 42. There may be a method in which the second protrusion 43 is protruded by applying a force to the inner end of the second protrusion 43 in a state of being embedded separately, but the thread 43a is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second protrusion 43. In this case, in consideration of the possibility that the second protrusion 43 may not protrude smoothly due to the resistance of the thread 43a, the gap between the second protrusion 43 and the first protrusion 42 is uniformly maintained. In addition, the second protrusion 43 is preferably designed to be withdrawn while being rotated by a separate motor box from a motor for rotating the tip 41.

Although not shown in the drawings, the motor box is connected to the second protrusion 43 and is rotated by the rotational force of the motor, and the lead / retractable shaft can be pulled out / retracted by a predetermined length, and the motor is pulled out of the second protrusion 43 / shaft. It is provided with a certain internal space to enable this.

In other words, in the process of fixing one fastener 10 to the bone and then positioning the connector 30 between the skin incision sites (see FIG. 5), the procedure is not secured if the length of the tip 41 of the drill 40 is not secured. Since it may not be smooth, it is necessary to be able to additionally protrude and return to the second protrusion 43 to prevent this.

In addition to this design method, the tip 41 and the first and second protrusions 42 and 43 are integrally formed with the drive unit 44 itself in the drill body along the guide rail installed in the drill 40. It is also possible that the tip 41, the first and second protrusions 42 and 43 are designed to be pulled in and pulled out as a whole to allow the sliding movement. In other words, the purpose of the various tip designs is that the length of the tip 41 is adjusted. It is intended to facilitate the procedure.

In addition, the drive control module 60 further includes an automatic stop adjuster 62, which means that the head 11 of the fastener 10 is attached to the bone when the tip 41 of the drill 40 rotates. It captures the situation where it touched so that the tip (41) no longer rotates.

That is, since the head 11 of the fastener 10 has a larger diameter than the screw 12, the load of the drill 40 is greater than the existing driving force at the moment when the lower side of the head 11 touches the bone. Thus, the automatic stop adjustment unit 62 is responsible for detecting such a relatively larger load to automatically stop the driving of the motor when this load is detected.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a face elevation procedure using the face elevation apparatus according to the present invention.

Pull the skin to remove wrinkles, ie the forehead, the upper forehead, and the cheekbones, in the opposite direction of the wrinkle, remove the wrinkles, and then fix it in a pulled state using your fingers. .

After that, a small incision about 3 mm is applied to a suitable site (probably inconspicuous area) of the site (1 in Fig. 5).

The first groove 14 of the fastener 10 located on the left side in FIG. 5 is fitted in the tip 41 of the drill, specifically the first projection 42. At this time, when the first protrusion 42 of the drill 40 enters the first groove 14, the state is detected by the position sensor 51, and the buzzer sounds in the drill by the identification unit 53, or the lamp It will emit light.

When the buzzer rings or the lamp flashes, press the lock / release button 48b on one side of the drill 40 once (fixed function) to protrude the second protrusion 43 with rotation, and in the process The protrusion 43 is thread-coupled with the second groove 15 of the fastener 10, thereby preventing the fastener 10 from being peeled off the drill 40 and running into the skin by the tension of the connector during the procedure. .

In this manner, the fastener 10 fixed to the drill 40 is inserted into the small incision skin and then fixed to the bone.

At this time, the drill 40 is set to the forward rotation, and then the operator (doctor) presses the forward button on the forward / reverse selection button 48a, so that the fastener 10 is fixed to the bone by the forward rotation of the tip 41. When the lower end of the head of the fastener 10, that is, the screw 12 is inserted into the upper limit, the driving state of the drill 40 is automatically stopped by the automatic stop adjusting unit 62.

This is to prevent the fastener 10 from being inserted into the bone more than necessary, and the fear of loosening due to wear of the bone due to excessive rotation of the screw 12 and rather to wear of the contact surface.

At the incision site, a second small incision (about 3 mm) is made at a distance of about 2 cm in a direction perpendicular to the skin pulling direction. (3 in Fig. 5) The remaining fasteners, i.e., the right fastener 10 in Fig. 5, are also described in the above-described order. Insert into the tip 41 of the drill 40. The second fastener 10 fixed to the drill 40 is also put into the incision skin and then passed through the SMAS layer in the skin at right angles to the direction of skin pulling (FIG. ④ of FIG. 5: through the SMAS layer to tunnel type) Out) through the second bovine incision (fig. 5 in FIG. 5).

At this time, the connector 30 is stretched to about twice the original length (about 12mm) and is subjected to tension, and thus the connector 30 is stretched to a sufficient length, so that the smooth fixing between the drill 40 and the fastener 10 is required during the procedure. will be.

The fastener 10 pulled out through the second small incision site is separated from the drill 10 again, and then the fastener 10 is held by the nurse using a hand or forceps.

  In order to separate the fastener 10 and the drill 40, the fixing / release button 48b is pressed twice. At this time, the second protrusion 43 fixed to the second groove 15 of the fastener 10 It is drawn into the first protrusion 42. Then, the fastener 10 may be removed from the drill 40.

The drill 40, which is released from the fastener 10, is pulled out of the original incision through the SMAS layer, and then the fastener 10, which is held by the nurse from the outside, is refitted and fixed. (6 in FIG. 5)

The drill 40 and the fastener 10 are fixed to the bone after being inserted into the second incision in the fixed state again. After that, the nurse releases the pulling skin part and the skin is returned to its original state. However, due to sufficient tension of the connector 30, the pulling part of the nurse does not return to its original state.

Because of this, the wrinkles of the skin before pulling is lost by the pulling of the skin of the area.

6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example in which the face elevation apparatus according to the present invention is applied.

As can be seen from Figure 6, the facial elevation apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to various parts of the face.

In the case of the forehead, the skin of the forehead can be pulled toward the scalp in order to eliminate forehead wrinkles and bleeding seizures (such as sagging of the eyelids due to aging and congenital eyelids) (FIG. 6A). Is connected to one more can be composed of a total of three, so that the connector 30 is also two. That is, it can be used to extend the number of connections of the face lift device according to the present invention in a large surface area such as the forehead.

In the case of the upper forehead, it is possible to pull up the forehead of the upper part of the eye to eliminate eyelid drooping due to aging (FIG. 6B).

The cheekbone region may pull up the skin in the opposite direction to the nasolabial folds and jawline ridges in the cheekbones to eliminate the ridges of the nasolabial folds and the jawline region (FIG. 6C).

In the case of the neck, the jaw line and the neck (double jaw, etc.) are pulled up from the jaw side of the mandible in order to eliminate the sagging (Fig. 6D).

The facial elevation apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to all of the areas requiring skin pull to remove wrinkles in addition to these areas.

In addition, even after the skin is subjected to the procedure using the facial coarse device according to the present invention, the skin is aging, and thus, even if wrinkles are removed by the device according to the present invention, wrinkles begin to form little by little after a long time. . Therefore, after about five years, the second procedure can be performed again using the apparatus according to the present invention.

That is, after removing the fasteners (10) previously applied to the skin from the bone again and pull the skin upwards (in the opposite direction of the skin wrinkles), remove the wrinkles generated in the meantime and then fasten the fasteners 10 again to the bone You can. At this time, the fastener 10 fixed to the bone will be higher (about the wrinkle direction) than the portion fixed to the existing bone.

Existing bone defects (defects caused by fastening fasteners) are supplemented naturally with bone components such as calcium again over two months, so there is no fear of special side effects.
