Procedure & video Q&A
Is it painful, and what anaesthesia is used?
Local anaesthesia with short-acting sedation is used, so patients generally feel no pain during the procedure.
Non-incision double eyelid surgery (buried suture)Is the fold permanent?
Wonjin's suture technique is designed to hold firmly with a low loosening rate, though the incision method remains more permanent for some eyelid types.
Non-incision double eyelid surgery (buried suture)How is it different from the non-incision method?
The incision method removes excess fat and skin for a sharper, more durable fold, but recovery takes longer.
Incision double eyelid surgeryWill the scar be visible?
The scar sits inside the fold, is barely visible when the eyes are open, and fades over a few months.
Incision double eyelid surgeryWill both eyes match?
The surgeon adjusts each side and checks during surgery, though the eyes may look temporarily uneven while swollen.
Ptosis correction surgeryMust it be combined with double-eyelid surgery?
Not always, but the two are usually combined so the fold flows naturally and the eye proportions balance.
Epicanthoplasty (inner corner)Implant or cartilage — which is better?
Most cases combine both: implant or cartilage on the bridge, with the patient's own cartilage at the tip to reduce the risk of extrusion.
Rhinoplasty for a low nasal bridgeHow long should I wait after my last surgery?
At least six months is generally advised so scar tissue and soft tissue can settle before revision.
Revision rhinoplastyAre there external scars?
No — the entire operation is performed through incisions inside the mouth.
Complex facial contouring (cheekbone + jaw + chin)Will the numbness go away?
It is usually temporary, caused by swelling pressing on the nerve, and improves over a few months.
Complex facial contouring (cheekbone + jaw + chin)Is orthodontics always required first?
Almost every case needs pre-surgical orthodontics for correct post-operative occlusion, except selected surgery-first cases.
Two-jaw (orthognathic) surgeryCan I breastfeed after augmentation?
Breastfeeding is generally still possible depending on the incision and implant plane; discuss it with your surgeon beforehand.
Breast augmentationWill the fat come back?
Removed fat cells do not return, but the remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain, so ongoing care matters.
Liposuction body contouringHow long do results last?
Typically 1-2 years, depending on thread type, skin age and aftercare.
WINT thread liftingHow many sessions are needed?
One session is usually enough; if absorption is high, a second session after 3-6 months may be considered.
Facial fat graftingWhen can I have laser treatment after surgery?
It depends on the operation and wound status; doctors usually assess at least a month after the wound has healed.
