GLAM Plastic Surgery is at 4F, 138 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (200 m from Sinsa Station exit 1). Consultations are handled in Korean, English and Thai, and the reservation line is +82-2-543-0309.

9 procedures, 14 published before & after cases and 2 doctor profiles, grouped into treatment areas: Double jaw surgery · Facial contouring · Revision surgery · Post-op care.

Type a procedure or keyword into the search box above — Thai and English both work, e.g. V-Line, rhinoplasty or jaw. You can also filter by treatment area to see only the procedures in that group.

All 14 cases are adapted from material GLAM Plastic Surgery published officially, labelled with the treatment area and the follow-up interval where the hospital stated one. Individual results still vary with bone structure, skin quality, age and aftercare.

The 2 listed doctors cover plastic surgery, oral & maxillofacial surgery, anaesthesiology and dermatology. Each profile lists education, experience and specialties.

No. GLAM states that its SSRO with accurate joint positioning and secure fixation removes the need for inter-maxillary fixation.

GLAM attributes a sunken mouth to over-retraction in the horizontal plane, and uses its published occlusal plane rotation technique to correct protrusion without pushing the lips too far back.

GLAM names three: severe crowding or impacted teeth that obscure the dental midline, a large upper–lower arch width difference, and dental interference that blocks the planned jaw movement.

A pure horizontal setback flattens the lips; rotating the whole occlusal plane changes the angle of the dental complex, reducing protrusion while keeping lip fullness.

GLAM's stated reason is an osteotomy that sits too low or too lateral, leaving the 45° cheekbone — the part visible in photographs — essentially unreduced.

The maximal volume point is the thickest part of the mandible. GLAM states that including it in the resection makes the jawline smaller from both the front and the side while keeping the contour natural.

Shaving only thins the bone surface; a T-osteotomy actually narrows the chin by removing a central segment and pinning the sides together, changing chin width far more.

It is decided case by case from CT and bone healing; GLAM always reviews the imaging from the previous operation during consultation.

GLAM states that as bone shrinks, soft tissue is relatively excess, so it will not promise zero sagging — but it minimises it with muscle plication, deep-cheek fat removal and fascial suspension during the same…

It depends on the degree of swelling and the operation performed; the schedule is set at each follow-up visit.

The main reason for cheekbone revision is an unreduced 45° projection. — Dr Lee Tae-sung reviews unsuccessful cheekbone cases on CT, showing how an osteotomy that is too low or too lateral leaves the 45° cheekbone…

A T-osteotomy narrows the chin segments and fixes them with pins. — Conventional jaw shaving versus the T-osteotomy GLAM uses to build a V-line.

A CT shows skeletal movement far more clearly than an external photo. — GLAM compares pre- and post-operative CT scans of a double jaw case, showing the osteotomy position, jaw movement and fixation.

In roughly half of the surgeon's cases no orthodontics was required. — When double jaw surgery is possible without pre-surgical orthodontics, referencing Dr Lee's paper in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
