Question 1

Where is VIEW Plastic Surgery and which languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

VIEW Plastic Surgery is at VIEW Plastic Surgery building, 636 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Sinsa Station). Consultations are handled in Korean, English and Thai, and the reservation line is +82-2-548-0075.

Question 2

What does this hub cover?

Accepted Answer

49 procedures, 43 published before & after cases and 16 doctor profiles, grouped into treatment areas: Facial contouring · Two-jaw surgery · Eye surgery · Rhinoplasty · Breast surgery · Anti-aging & lifting · Body contouring · Men's surgery · Skin & laser.

Question 3

How do I find a specific procedure?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Are the before & after photos reliable?

Accepted Answer

All 43 cases are adapted from material VIEW 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.

Question 5

What are the doctors specialised in?

Accepted Answer

The 16 listed doctors cover plastic surgery, oral & maxillofacial surgery, anaesthesiology and dermatology. Each profile lists education, experience and specialties.

Question 6

Can I book an appointment from this page?

Accepted Answer

No. This hub is an editorial reference, not a booking agent. For appointments or case assessment, contact VIEW Plastic Surgery directly by phone or through its official website.

Question 7

Can the bone grow back after it is removed?

Accepted Answer

If the jaw bone is removed correctly it will not grow back, though the masseter muscle can enlarge again in some cases; this can be corrected with botulinum toxin injections.

Question 8

When can I eat normally again?

Accepted Answer

Chewing is difficult at first, so stick to liquid food like porridge and avoid biting hard; once jaw function fully recovers you can return to a normal diet.

Question 9

How long does V-line surgery take and how long is the hospital stay?

Accepted Answer

The surgery itself takes about 1.5 hours under general anaesthesia, with roughly 1 day of initial rest before suture removal and follow-up visits over the next 2 weeks.

Question 10

Will the removed jaw bone grow back?

Accepted Answer

If the jaw is cut correctly the bone will not regrow, though the masseter muscle can enlarge again in some cases, which is treatable with botulinum toxin.

Question 11

Can I eat and drink right after jaw surgery?

Accepted Answer

Chewing is difficult initially, so stick to soft food like porridge; once jaw function normalises you can return to regular meals.

Question 12

How long does jaw reduction surgery take?

Accepted Answer

The operation takes about 1 hour under general anaesthesia, with 1 day of initial rest followed by suture removal and follow-up over the next 2 weeks.

Question 13

Will I feel tightness when opening my mouth after zygoma reduction?

Accepted Answer

You may notice some sensation when opening your mouth, chewing or talking at first because the cheekbone has been fixed in place; this eases as recovery progresses.

Question 14

Why does VIEW emphasise the double-fixing technique?

Accepted Answer

Double fixing lifts and secures the cheek structure after the bone is cut, lowering the chance of sagging compared with standard fixation, for a more natural, contoured result.

Question 15

Can the cheekbone grow back?

Accepted Answer

If the bone is removed correctly it will not fuse back, though the nearby chewing muscle can enlarge, which can be corrected with botulinum toxin.

Question 16

Will the chin bone fuse back together?

Accepted Answer

If surgery is successful the bone will not fuse back, though the chewing muscle developing afterwards may make the jaw look slightly larger, which can be corrected with botulinum toxin.

Question 17

When can I eat normally after chin surgery?

Accepted Answer

Chewing is hard at first, so start with liquid and soft food; once jaw function fully recovers you can return to a normal diet.

Question 18

Which technique suits a short, recessed chin?

Accepted Answer

For a short, recessed chin, VIEW uses a horizontal osteotomy that avoids the nerve, then repositions the bone segment forward to add projection and improve proportion.

Question 19

When can I start dental treatment after chin implant surgery?

Accepted Answer

If you can open your mouth comfortably and the intraoral wound has healed, dental treatment can usually begin around 1 month after surgery.

Question 20

Can the implant shift or move out of place?

Accepted Answer

The most common side effect is displacement if the implant isn't fixed well; VIEW uses dissolvable screws to hold it securely in place.

Question 21

Will the surgical scar be visible?

Accepted Answer

The forehead incision is hidden along the hairline, while chin and cheek incisions are inside the mouth and under 1 cm long, so they are barely visible from outside.

Question 22

Is bone reduction alone enough to make the face look slim?

Accepted Answer

No — how the surrounding soft tissue adapts matters just as much. VIEW plans around bone size together with the condition of the skin, muscle and fat for a proportionate, slim result.

Question 23

Will my face definitely sag after this surgery?

Accepted Answer

Reshaping the bone controls its shape and size, but cannot fully control soft tissue; skin can take up to 6 months to settle. If you are still unsatisfied after full recovery, a facelift can be considered.

Question 24

Is it safe to have all three areas done together?

Accepted Answer

VIEW plans in detail, factoring in facial size, cheekbone thickness and skin/nerve elasticity before surgery, with an anaesthesiologist monitoring throughout for safety.

Question 25

Is revision surgery riskier than the first operation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — soft tissue may already be attached to bone that was reshaped irregularly in the first surgery, making separation harder, so a surgeon experienced specifically in revision cases must plan very carefully.

Question 26

When can I start dental treatment after revision surgery?

Accepted Answer

If you can open your mouth comfortably and the intraoral wound has healed, dental treatment can generally start about 1 month after surgery.

Question 27

How long before I see the final result after revision surgery?

Accepted Answer

Soft tissue around the bone can take up to 6 months to settle into the corrected structure, so it's best to wait through the full recovery period before judging the final result.

Question 28

Why is surgery done before orthodontics rather than after?

Accepted Answer

VIEW corrects the jaw bone position first, then orthodontics follows to align the teeth to the new bone position — the reverse of traditional braces-first treatment — which speeds up both the aesthetic and bite-function…

Question 29

Who is on the surgical team for jaw surgery?

Accepted Answer

VIEW's jaw surgery is carried out by a team of plastic surgeon, dentist and anaesthesiologist working together for a safe outcome in both appearance and function.

Question 30

Can jaw surgery correct facial asymmetry?

Accepted Answer

Yes — two-jaw surgery can correct facial asymmetry caused by skeletal structure, using 3D-CT analysis to plan an individualised operation.

Question 31

When can I eat after three-jaw surgery?

Accepted Answer

Soft food can be eaten during the first 1-2 weeks, while spicy, salty or hard food should wait until about 1 month after surgery.

Question 32

When can I return to my daily routine?

Accepted Answer

Generally, low-exertion activities such as returning to work are possible about 3-4 weeks after surgery; light indoor movement is possible after 8-12 hours, with a wound and progress check at week 2.

Question 33

How is three-jaw surgery different from standard two-jaw surgery?

Accepted Answer

Three-jaw surgery combines standard two-jaw surgery with protruding-mouth correction in one operation, for patients with both severe chin and mouth protrusion; it takes longer to perform and recover from than single…

Question 34

Does every case of a protruding mouth need jaw surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Options range from orthodontics for teeth-only protrusion, to ASO or full two-jaw surgery when the jaw bone itself protrudes; a specialist determines the best approach after diagnosis.

Question 35

When can I eat after protruding mouth surgery?

Accepted Answer

Soft food can be eaten during the first 1-2 weeks, while spicy, salty or hard food should wait until about 1 month after surgery.

Question 36

How soon can I return to work?

Accepted Answer

On average, low-exertion activities like office work are possible about 3-4 weeks after surgery, with a wound and progress check at week 2.

Question 37

Why does jaw revision surgery need a more detailed plan than usual?

Accepted Answer

Because bone and tissue from the earlier surgery may have healed in an irregular shape, separating them is harder than usual; VIEW uses its Double Jaw Revision System to analyse and individually plan each case before…

Question 38

Does jaw revision take longer to recover from than a first-time surgery?

Accepted Answer

Initial recovery is generally similar to a first-time jaw surgery, around 2 days, though soft tissue may take slightly longer to settle given the prior tissue condition, so ongoing follow-up with the surgeon is…

Question 39

Where should I go for revision of a jaw surgery I'm unhappy with?

Accepted Answer

Choose a team with direct experience specifically in jaw revision cases, since it requires deep understanding of both the structure and function of facial bone; VIEW uses individualised diagnosis and planning designed…

Question 40

Will this result be permanent?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the technique — incision or non-incision — that suits your eyes reduces the risk of the fold loosening, though outcomes still vary by individual.

Question 41

Can I still have this surgery if I currently use double-eyelid tape or glue?

Accepted Answer

In many cases the non-incision method can address it, following a specialist consultation to confirm your eyes are suited to this technique.

Question 42

How long is the procedure and is a hospital stay needed?

Accepted Answer

It takes about 30 minutes under sleep sedation, with no hospital admission — you go home the same day.

Question 43

Can the crease turn into a thick 'shell'-like fold?

Accepted Answer

With careful individual diagnosis and precise incision placement this is avoidable; it typically only happens when the line is cut too high.

Question 44

Will the scar be large?

Accepted Answer

It may look slightly unnatural while still swollen, but becomes nearly invisible once healed — though prior surgery can leave some residual tissue changes.

Question 45

Is a hospital stay needed, and when are sutures removed?

Accepted Answer

No hospital stay is needed — you go home the same day, and sutures come out within 7 days.

Question 46

Does this leave a scar?

Accepted Answer

A key benefit is a quick return to normal life with almost no visible scar or bruising, since there is no incision.

Question 47

When can I start wearing eye makeup?

Accepted Answer

Once swelling has resolved and the eyes look normal, makeup can typically start from about 1 week after surgery.

Question 48

How does this differ from the natural-fold dot-suture method?

Accepted Answer

Both are incision-free, but the combo method uses a double knot to bond skin and muscle, giving a sturdier, more durable fold than a single-knot technique.

Question 49

Is ptosis correction permanent, or might it need a repeat surgery?

Accepted Answer

As with double-eyelid surgery, a small follow-up adjustment is occasionally needed later, depending on muscle condition and aftercare.

Question 50

How is the incision vs. non-incision method chosen?

Accepted Answer

The non-incision method suits mild ptosis; the incision method suits thick eyelids, more fat or severe droop. The surgeon recommends one after assessment.

Question 51

How long does the surgery take?

Accepted Answer

About 30 minutes to 1 hour under sleep sedation, with no hospital admission needed.

Question 52

What kind of eyes are good candidates for canthoplasty?

Accepted Answer

Eyes that look small due to a large bony structure, or slightly protruding eyes, often look noticeably bigger once the corners are opened.

Question 53

After rhinoplasty, could the eye corner re-adhere?

Accepted Answer

It can happen in some cases, particularly with lateral canthoplasty, which is why careful removal of adhesion-prone tissue during the first surgery matters.

Question 54

When is the right time to have revision eyelid surgery?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to wait 6 months to a year after your most recent surgery so tissue has fully recovered before planning a revision.

Question 55

Can revision be done if scarring from the previous surgery remains?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if there is still enough eyelid tissue and skin, though it requires precise surgical judgement to avoid removing too much tissue — consult a team experienced in revisions first.

Question 56

I previously had incisional surgery — can revision be done without an incision?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the existing tissue and scarring; the surgeon will assess at consultation whether a non-incision revision is suitable or another incision is still needed.

Question 57

Can this fix dark circles?

Accepted Answer

It addresses dark circles caused by bulging fat combined with thin skin or poor circulation, since redistributing the fat layer reduces the shadow cast by the tear trough.

Question 58

Can the bulge come back after fat repositioning?

Accepted Answer

Improper technique could allow recurrence, but because fat is moved beneath the periosteum where it is harder to shift, the chance of it bulging again is very low.

Question 59

Is there a visible external scar?

Accepted Answer

No — the incision is made only inside the eyelid membrane, so there is no scar visible from outside.

Question 60

Do the upper and lower lids need to be done together?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily; the surgeon assesses each patient's sagging pattern to decide whether one or both lids need treatment together.

Question 61

How long does it take and is a hospital stay required?

Accepted Answer

About 1 hour under sleep sedation, with no hospital admission — you go home the same day.

Question 62

Will the surgical scar be noticeable?

Accepted Answer

The upper-lid scar hides in the crease line and the lower-lid incision is small and internal; both usually fade to near invisible once swelling fully subsides.

Question 63

How is this different from standard blepharoplasty for droopy eyelids?

Accepted Answer

Both lift sagging eyelids, but the incision site differs: standard blepharoplasty cuts on the eyelid, while a sub-brow lift cuts underneath the brow instead.

Question 64

Will the scar be visible since it's near the brow?

Accepted Answer

The incision is hidden along the brow hairline and typically fades to nearly invisible once swelling subsides and healing completes.
