Procedure & video Q&A
How do the suture and incision methods differ?
The suture method swells less and heals faster on thin lids; the incision method removes excess fat and skin for a more durable fold.
Double eyelid surgeryHow many days should I stay in Korea?
Usually 5-7 days, enough for suture removal and a follow-up check before flying.
Double eyelid surgeryWill the scar show?
The scar sits in the inner-corner crease; early redness fades within 3-6 months.
Epicanthoplasty & lateral canthoplastyCan the corner close up again?
Some contraction can occur during healing, so the design allows for it from the start.
Epicanthoplasty & lateral canthoplastyHow is it different from under-eye filler?
Filler is temporary and can look lumpy; repositioning corrects both the bag and the trough at once and lasts far longer.
Under-eye fat repositioningHow long does bruising last?
Bruising settles in 1-2 weeks, with fine swelling resolving over 1-3 months.
Under-eye fat repositioningWhat age is it suitable for?
It depends on laxity rather than age; some patients need it from their late thirties.
Upper & lower blepharoplastyWill the eye look hollow after fat removal?
Fat is preserved where possible and repositioned rather than removed in deep-set eyes.
Upper & lower blepharoplastyMust it be done with double-eyelid surgery?
In most cases yes, because the muscle is reached through the same crease line.
Ptosis correctionIs revision ever needed?
A small share of patients need a level adjustment, usually assessed after swelling settles at about 3 months.
Ptosis correctionSilicone or cartilage?
The dorsum usually takes an implant for a straight line, while the tip uses the patient's own cartilage for safety and a natural look.
Rhinoplasty (augmentation)How long is the swelling?
Obvious swelling settles in the first two weeks; the final shape appears at 3-6 months.
Rhinoplasty (augmentation)Can a crooked nose be straightened?
Yes, by realigning the bone and septum, though the outcome depends on the original deviation and may not be perfectly straight.
Rhinoplasty by nose typeWill breathing improve?
If the cause is a deviated septum, septal correction can improve airflow.
Rhinoplasty by nose typeHow long must I wait before revision?
At least six months after the previous surgery so the tissue and scar have settled.
Revision rhinoplastyHow many revisions are possible?
Each revision thins the tissue further, so the plan should aim to finish in one operation.
Revision rhinoplastyIs the alar scar visible?
It sits in the alar crease and fades over time, provided sun protection is used.
Nose reductionWill the nostrils become too small?
The amount removed is limited by airflow and facial proportion, so the nostrils are not narrowed excessively.
Nose reductionIs everyone a candidate?
Not everyone; if the tip or framework needs significant work, the open approach gives better precision.
Closed rhinoplastyIs the result very different from the open method?
For dorsal augmentation alone the results are similar; the open method controls tip detail better.
Closed rhinoplasty
