Liposuction body contouring
Targeted liposuction of the abdomen, waist, thighs and jawline, judged by the smoothness of the result rather than the volume removed.

Upper & lower blepharoplasty
For upper lids that droop over the crease and crepey lower lids, excess skin is removed and the muscle re-draped so the eye opens up and looks younger.

Epicanthoplasty & lateral canthoplasty
Epicanthoplasty releases the fold covering the inner corner so the eye looks longer, while lateral canthoplasty widens the outer corner. Both are usually combined with double-eyelid surgery for balance.

Double eyelid surgery
Dream designs the fold from the orbital proportion, eyelid thickness and levator strength, then selects the buried-suture, partial-incision or full-incision technique that fits the individual eye.

- 11
Ptosis correction
A weak levator muscle makes the eye look sleepy and forces the brow to compensate. Dream adjusts levator tension and forms the double-eyelid crease in the same operation.

Rhinoplasty (augmentation)
Dream combines an implant for the dorsum with the patient's own cartilage at the tip, so the bridge lines up with the forehead while the tip stays soft and natural.

Rhinoplasty by nose type
A humped, deviated, drooping or short nose each needs a different technique, so Dream classifies the problem first and then plans the operation case by case.
7 real cases · 0 clips · 2 Q&A
- 14
Closed rhinoplasty
The closed technique inserts the implant through an intranasal incision, so there is no external columellar scar and less swelling — suited to dorsal augmentation without major framework work.

- 15
Nose reduction
For wide alae or a bulbous tip, the alar width is reduced and the tip cartilage reshaped to a smaller proportion while keeping the airway intact.
7 real cases · 0 clips · 2 Q&A

Revision rhinoplasty
Revision work must account for the old implant, scar tissue and remaining soft tissue. Dream generally removes the previous implant and rebuilds the framework with the patient's own cartilage for long-term safety.

Under-eye fat repositioning
Instead of removing the herniated under-eye fat, the surgeon repositions it into the tear trough so the lower lid blends smoothly into the cheek and does not hollow out with age.
3 real cases · 0 clips · 2 Q&A

Botulinum toxin injection
Used for expression lines and masseter reduction. Results appear in 3-7 days and last around 4-6 months, with dosing set by each patient's muscle strength.
3 real cases · 0 clips · 2 Q&A
- 19
ENL contouring injection
Localised lipolytic injection for small areas such as the jawline, submental fat and arms, suited to patients not ready for liposuction.

Technique-specific questions at Dream Plastic Surgery
Answers come from the hospital's own published material; each one links straight to the before & after set for that technique.
Facial asymmetry correction: Can it be made perfectly symmetrical?
No face is perfectly symmetrical; the goal is to reduce the difference until it is unnoticeable.
Facial asymmetry correction: Is surgery always necessary?
Muscle- or fat-related asymmetry can often be corrected with injections alone.
Anterior segmental osteotomy (protrusion): How does it differ from two-jaw surgery?
Protrusion surgery moves only the front alveolar segment, while two-jaw surgery repositions the whole jaws.
Anterior segmental osteotomy (protrusion): Is orthodontics required?
Usually yes, before and after, so the teeth align and occlude properly.
Two-jaw (orthognathic) surgery: Is orthodontics always required first?
In most cases yes, both before and after surgery, so the bite settles correctly.
Two-jaw (orthognathic) surgery: How long is the recovery?
It is major surgery requiring inpatient care and several weeks of recovery in Korea; plan travel well ahead.
Facial contouring (jaw, zygoma, chin): How risky is nerve injury?
Temporary numbness is possible; 3D CT planning and an experienced surgeon reduce the risk.
Facial contouring (jaw, zygoma, chin): How long is recovery?
Swelling peaks in the first two weeks, work is possible at 3-4 weeks, and the final contour appears around six months.
Short chin (genioplasty): How long does a chin implant last?
An implant lasts long term, but for a markedly receded chin bone advancement looks more natural.
Short chin (genioplasty): How long does chin numbness last?
Numbness usually improves over weeks to a few months as the nerve recovers.
Two-circle facial analysis: Is the analysis charged separately?
It forms part of the pre-operative consultation for contouring; confirm the details with the hospital directly.
Two-circle facial analysis: Do I need to fly to Korea for it?
The 3D CT must be done on site, but photos can be sent for a preliminary assessment.
Liposuction body contouring: Will the fat come back?
Removed fat cells do not return, but the remaining cells enlarge if weight increases significantly.
Liposuction body contouring: How long must I wear the garment?
Generally 4-6 weeks, depending on the area and volume treated.
Upper & lower blepharoplasty: What age is it suitable for?
It depends on laxity rather than age; some patients need it from their late thirties.
Upper & lower blepharoplasty: Will the eye look hollow after fat removal?
Fat is preserved where possible and repositioned rather than removed in deep-set eyes.
Epicanthoplasty & lateral canthoplasty: Will the scar show?
The scar sits in the inner-corner crease; early redness fades within 3-6 months.
Epicanthoplasty & lateral canthoplasty: Can the corner close up again?
Some contraction can occur during healing, so the design allows for it from the start.
Double eyelid surgery: 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 surgery: How many days should I stay in Korea?
Usually 5-7 days, enough for suture removal and a follow-up check before flying.
Ptosis correction: Must it be done with double-eyelid surgery?
In most cases yes, because the muscle is reached through the same crease line.
Ptosis correction: Is revision ever needed?
A small share of patients need a level adjustment, usually assessed after swelling settles at about 3 months.
Rhinoplasty (augmentation): Silicone 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.
