Specialized Facilities and Equipment
Midas Clinic is equipped with university-hospital level advanced equipment and research facilities to increase the success rate of fat plastic surgery.
Stem Cell Research Center
Operating an in-house stem cell research laboratory, a Lab Director with a Ph.D. in Science (Dr. Baek Hwa-jin) resides to strictly manage the extraction, culture, and activity testing of stem cells. This is a core facility for maximizing the engraftment rate of fat cells.
Sterile Operating Room and Safety System
A sterile operating room system to prevent infection and a safety management system for emergency situations are established.
Liposuction Equipment (EVA2, UltraZ)
EVA2 uses air vibration to minimize tissue damage and allows for large-capacity suction. UltraZ melts fat using ultrasound for suction, used for precise line correction.
Cryogenic Freezing Storage System
Supports the safe long-term storage of extracted stem cells and fat, allowing them to be used for future 2nd and 3rd procedures.
주요 시술 및 기술 특징
Stem Cell Breast Augmentation
As the signature procedure of Midas Clinic, this method grafts stem cells together to overcome the low engraftment rate, which is a limitation of simple fat grafting.
- Principle: Adult stem cells are extracted from fat harvested from the abdomen or thighs, then mixed with pure fat and grafted into the breast. Stem cells promote angiogenesis, creating an environment where grafted fat cells can survive.
- Advantages: No foreign body sensation, natural touch and shape. Simultaneous liposuction effect from harvested areas.
- Responsibility Warranty System: 3-year warranty for side effects such as cysts or calcification.
FS (Free Scar/Secret Scar) Breast Grafting
This is a specialized surgical method unique to Midas Clinic, developed for patients sensitive to scars.
- Technical Definition: 'FS' stands for Free Scar or Secret Scar.
- Surgical Method: Fat is harvested and injected through micro-incisions in invisible areas such as the navel or inside the tailbone.
- Effect: Surgical marks are not visible when wearing swimwear or revealing clothing, resulting in very high aesthetic satisfaction.
Facial Liposuction & Lifting
A procedure that improves facial lines without shaving bones, pursuing fat removal and elasticity improvement simultaneously.
- Midas V-line Facial Liposuction: Uses latest equipment (EVA2, UltraZ) to remove unnecessary cheek and chin fat, combined with laser lifting for skin elasticity.
- Thread Lifting: Physically pulls up sagging skin using 5th generation PCL threads; Director Kim Young-chul personally experienced the procedure to demonstrate its effectiveness.
Revision Surgery and Side Effect Treatment
The clinic operates a revision surgery clinic for patients suffering from capsular contracture, dissatisfaction with shape, or foreign body sensation after implant breast surgery.
- Focuses on restoring natural touch while maintaining breast volume by performing stem cell fat grafting simultaneously with implant removal.
