PRIVATE Plastic Surgery — FAQ

PRIVATE Plastic Surgery is at 9F Samju Building, 606 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Sinsa Station, exits 2 and 3). Consultations are handled in Korean, English and Thai, and the reservation line is +82-2-545-9979.

30 procedures, 110 published before & after cases and 3 doctor profiles, grouped into treatment areas: Eye surgery · Rhinoplasty · Fat grafting & injectables · Lifting · Anti-aging · Male plastic surgery · Body contouring.

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 110 cases are adapted from material PRIVATE 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 3 listed doctors cover plastic surgery, oral & maxillofacial surgery, anaesthesiology and dermatology. Each profile lists education, experience and specialties.

Usually the tissue and scar must settle first; the surgeon assesses this at consultation. A good revision depends on an accurate diagnosis of the original problem rather than operating again quickly.

Local anaesthesia combined with sedation means patients feel almost nothing during surgery; afterwards swelling is more common than pain.

The non-incision method does have a slightly higher chance of loosening than the incision method, but with careful technique and enough fixation points it holds well. The incision method leaves a scar when the eyes are…

Yes. The team weighs your preference against what suits your current eyes aesthetically and recommends the best-matching design at consultation.

No incision is scar-free, but with meticulous suturing a first-time patient is usually left with only a fine line when the eyes are closed after 3–5 months, easily covered with make-up.

It is a delicate operation in which symmetry and over-correction must be checked constantly. The degree depends on how firmly the levator is fixed to the tarsal plate: tighter means a bigger eye, but over-correction is…

Yes. The principle is to move the levator's attachment closer to the lash line so the same effort opens the eye more sharply; the surgeon assesses the remaining muscle power before planning.

The surgeon weighs two things: the intercanthal distance and the existing eye shape. If the eyes already sit close together the opening is kept conservative to protect facial balance.

No. The approach passes behind the orbicularis muscle through the conjunctiva, so the roll is preserved — and often looks clearer once the bulging fat beneath it is redistributed.

Fat repositioning removes no skin, so there is no external wound and recovery is fast. Lower blepharoplasty incises under the lash line to remove lax skin as well, which suits people with clear skin sagging.

Not always. Septal or ear cartilage is used first; autologous or donor rib cartilage is added only when there is not enough cartilage or not enough structural support.

Most tips need only a small change to line up with the existing dorsum, so the patient's own septal or ear cartilage is usually enough.

When the tip's shape or height changes, the line from the glabella to the tip may no longer flow smoothly, so an implant — even a thin one — is often used to keep the dorsal line continuous.

Raising the glabella a great deal can tighten the skin slightly, but normally not to a noticeable degree.

Even after bringing the tip cartilage down, adding too much height leaves no skin to spare and the tip is pulled up and looks upturned again, so height must stay within what the skin allows.

Septal or ear cartilage is standard; when cartilage is insufficient or too weak, autologous or donor rib cartilage may be added for support.

In a long nose, moving the descended cartilage upward and fixing it at multiple points prevents migration, so the tip stays high over time.

If one-sided blockage comes from a deviated septum or hypertrophic turbinates, crooked nose surgery can address that cause and improve breathing.

Even after straightening, small irregularities can remain along the dorsum, so a thin implant is often used to keep the line smooth.

The operation removes the protruding bone and cartilage. If too little is removed a hump remains — early on it can be masked by swelling — so accurate assessment from the start matters.
