IV. Three Signature Services: Getting the “Under-the-Radar but Critical” Details Right
MANO 之所以在韓國本地有口碑，正是因為它把幾個「不起眼卻極影響精緻度」的部位做到了極致：
Shortening the Philtrum
- A long Philtrum can give off an aged or sorrowful appearance, and it tends to lengthen as people get older or after undergoing jaw realignment surgery.
- Dr. Zheng doesn’t just perform simple skin trimming; he also addresses muscle suspension issues and finishes with precise suturing techniques.
- The goal is to say goodbye to a “aged-looking face” and make the proportions of the mid-face appear younger.
Lip augmentation
- Lip corner lifting: Makes the expression softer even when there’s no facial expression, helping to reduce sagging.
- Lip Reduction Surgery/Lip Augmentation (surgery to reduce or enlarge lips), to adjust the proportions of the lip shape.
- “Precise proportions and a striking appearance” are the core selling points of MANO lip treatments.
Ear Reconstruction
- Protruding ear correction, flat ear correction, pointed ears, folded ears, Earlobe reduction/Enlargement.
- It also addresses detailed issues such as ear keloids.
- Customized designs guided by the principle of “overall harmony,” with a wealth of proven cases.
