Hello! First, you have to know which filler you got it done with, as there are many types of filler nowadays, and it's crucial to inform your rhinoplasty surgeon beforehand. Because based on the situation, your plastic surgery specialist will then inform you when is the best time for you to dissolve the filler or, in worst case, they might adviced you to plan the surgery for a later date when the product has dissipated naturally. 
If there is some filler present on the nose, opting to undergo rhinoplasty without dissolving it first may lead to suboptimal results. This is because the filler may gradually be absorbed or spread to adjacent areas, thereby compromising the desired nose height or shape. 
When you should get it dissolved depends on the clinic, because every clinic has a different opinion. Because ascertaining the height of the nose can be challenging due to the presence of swelling after dissolving procedure, I always advised my patients to get it done at least a few days earlier or at least 1 week before surgery to allow for the reduction of swelling. 
Hope this helps! Good luck!

I'm interested in Asian rhinoplasty, but I have filler in my nose and have read that I need to dissolve before undergoing the procedure. Is that something the operating doctor can do for me the day of or does it need to be done months in advance? And if I do get it, what if I'm only able to successfully dissolve 60-75% of it? Will that prevent me from getting the procedure done?

Do I have to dissolve filler in my nose before rhinoplasty?

I'm so happy with my results. From the moment I arrived in Korea until the end of my trip, everything went smoothly. AB Plastic even arranged transportation to the airport, which made the process easy. 
 
I underwent a deep plane facelift, blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, fat transfer under the eyes and eyelids, and a neck lift. The scarring has all faded, and my face looks natural—exactly the outcome I hoped for, and I'm more confident, my Friends and family can’t even tell I’ve had surgery. 
 
The translator provided by AB Plastic was also a great support. Since I don’t speak Korean, she guided me through each step, checked in regularly during recovery, and even offered advice on what to eat. 
Looking back, I’m happy I chose AB Plastic for my surgery, it was totally worth it.

Grateful I Chose AB Plastic

Last year, for our anniversary, my wonderful husband gifted me a life-changing surgery—my facelift, neck lift, platysmaplasty, and face fat graft. It felt like a dream come true. I had been concerned about my aging appearance for a few years, especially as I was turning 50, but feeling like I looked closer to 60-70 really took a toll on my confidence. 
 
I had my consultation with Dr. Choi Jae Ik, who speaks English fluently and really took the time to explain everything. He recommended a few procedures, and, well, I ended up getting them all done together (lol)! Honestly, the decision wasn't easy, but I’m so glad I took the leap. 
 
 
 
The recovery process had its moments, of course. The pain was manageable, and the swelling was definitely uncomfortable at times, but with some painkillers, I could sleep through the nights, which made all the difference. I also did some Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) because my blood circulation wasn’t the best, and it really helped speed up my recovery. 
 
Now, 5 months post-op, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come! The swelling in my temple area has improved over time, and while I know it will take a bit more time to fully settle, I already feel fantastic about my results. My sagging skin is finally gone, and I feel like I’ve reclaimed my youth. It's been such a rewarding experience, and I couldn't be happier with how things turned out! 
 
Surgery that i had were Face Lifting, Endotine Forehead Lifting, Lower Blepharoplasty, Facial Fat Grafting, Neck Lifting, Platysmaplasty

My Miraculous Change

Hello, today I am writing to you to share my progress following my surgery performed at AB plastic. To summarize, I came for an image manipulation as well as an advancement of Maitre, Chin and a correction of Machoire because it was asymmetrical. Know that after two months, I am delighted because my Jaw is finally 100% visually symmetrical and also my image is more and more significant. 
 
I leave you this evolution of photos one week after operation and now two months after operation. 
 
I come back in September to do the work on the cheeks, chest and nose. 
 
Trust these doctors with your eyes closed. 
 
They are just aesthetic geniuses. The nursing staff are also very attentive, as are their translators. I would like to point out that to have such a significant result in two months I carried out Lymphatic Masaje at home because when I got home after the plane, I had a very big swelling which is completely normal so if you get from far away, don't be afraid of swelling once you land the following month, it's completely normal! By dr : JO DONG PIL.

So Happy. AB PLASTIC KOREA from Europe.

This was my first surgery. 
 
Procedure done: Sliding Genioplasty, 
 
Concerns: A receding chin. I wanted to improve my look, and fix the issue of discomfort when needing to close my mouth. Due to my recessed chin, I needed to use chin muscles to push up my lower lip, and suck in air to create a vacuum and keep my lips closed. This issue was gone immediately after surgery. 
 
After research and multiple online consultations, I decided to go with AB Plastic surgery because of their great cost and reputation. 
 
CONSULTATION &amp; PRE-SURGERY 
 
In-person consultations can be done, but i opted for the online one. 
 
It was done through whatsapp where I needed fill out a form. They got back to me within 10 days, and then I needed to firstly share photos of my face. They recommended me genioplasty, and helped me to figure out the timeline in conjunction with my asia trip. 
 
They were able to answer all my concerns regarding diet, post-op care, and post-op flights, and within reasonable time. 
 
I booked the next in-person consult/surgery, which required a refundable deposit of 1,000,000 KRW. The surgery time is only jnown a day before I was able to give them a preferred time. 
 
SURGERY DAY 
 
After talking to reception, I was introduced to the translator assigned to me. I read some things online about translators but Their translators were nice and had perfect english. The surgeon/doctor, Jo Dong Pil, was able to speak to me in full english, but most staff didn’t speak english. 
 
Everything went great! the only thing that at the time I felt was odd was that even before the consultation, I had to buy the medications. Which I felt shouldve been the next step after consulting, and giving the green light. 
 
Otherwise I had to do examinations, x-rays, and a blood test, to make sure everything was okay. Afterwards I talked to the doctors which gave their inputs, and I expressed exactly what I was looking for and show them examples pictures of what I wanted, and agreed on how much to push my chin forward (it was 7mm). 
 
Once that was done I paid the remaining amount, and I was instructed to wash up, gargle, and change into clean clothes for surgery. They explained to me post-op care and I was given a bag filled with instructions and things i needed. Such as a chin compression bandages, an ice pack specifically for chins, saline water for gargling, edible jellies to help with swelling, and more. 
 
I got onto the surgery table and was hooked onto i believe an IV, and given anesthesia. Suddenly I woke up on a chair in the reception room, and after maybe 10-15 minutes, the anesthesia fully wore off and I was allowed to leave. Because I was alone, I was escorted by staff to my taxi bringing me to my hotel. 
 
POST-OP 
 
For the first two days I was really swollen. I followed all the instructions of taking meds, icing, gargling, etc. I went out everyday because it helps with the swelling to be moving. Opening my mouth and speaking was really hard, and the pain stinged, when opening but not a whole lot (probably thanks to the meds) 
 
on the 2nd or 3rd day I went in for a follow up and got a red light treatment, to help with the swelling, which reduced it by a LOT. I was able to eat relatively normally by this point personally, though avoiding certain foods. I also didn’t need to wear the compression bandage anymore on my chin. 
 
I came back a week later for check up and more red light therapy. 
 
I was starting to see the results albeit with swelling, but at this point I felt unsure whether I loved the change or not, and felt regretting my decision, which as stated in the papers that it’s normal for patients to feel regret within the first few weeks, so all i could do was wait. 
 
on the 13th day I did the same and I was able to remove my stitches. I did it one day earlier than normal because i was leaving korea, but before they removed it they checked to make sure it was healed enough. i saw the doctor and We discussed the changes and how my chin issues are now gone. 
 
minor swelling but Loving the results so far, its natural looking like i wanted, as friends or family have commented. definitely recommend. Everything went very smoothly. and the staff were very nice.

Recessed Chin - Sliding Genioplasty Experience

At 7 p.m. on April 8, I underwent eye bags removal surgery at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul. That night, I was a little nervous, my pretty interpreter who accompanied and encouraged me throughout the process and let me felt better. When the anesthetics took effect, I was no longer awake. 
When I woke up, I sat on a sofa and found that the operation had been completed. It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening. I tried to feel my physical condition and found that there was no pain in the surgical wound. I thought the anesthetic effect had not dissipated, but as the days passed day by day, I still didn't feel any pain in the wound. In summary, I felt good. 
After the operation, my eyes became bruised, like a Chinese panda, and it took me two weeks to completely retreat. On the other hand, the wound feels swollen, which took more than a month to subside. 
Now I am completely recovered. Do I look younger than before now?

Eye Bags Remove Surgery

I just completed DES with ptosis, fat grafting and lateral canthoplasty. I had online consults with 6 different clinic and decided to go with AB plastic surgery due to the reasonable price and the mass amount of reviews of patients who had good results. My doctor was Dr. Park Sung Ho. He was knowledgeable and made sure I received my ideal shape. During the procedure he took his time tweaking and adjust my left eye to make it perfect. Numerous times he would ask me to open and close and slightly raise up to make sure both eyes were proportioned. Thank you for your care Dr. Park!! 
 
8 hrs post op - Bruising is starting to appearing, stitches feel tight. Vision is slightly blurry at times but returns back to normal after some blinking. Eyes are dry. No pain tho. 
 
12 days post op - very little non existent swelling only I could notice, slight tightness at corners of the eyes when looking upwards, vision is normal, no more dry eyes, all bruising is gone and I am very happy with the results so far! 
 
Thank you AB Plastic Surgery!!

Beautiful Results

I’m 45 M from Australia I and had a deep plane facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, and fat transfer with Dr. Choi Jae IK at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul. 
I’m about 2 months post-op and happy so far..I do get occasional swelling but not as often, the scars have faded a lot around my eyes and neck line.

45 Male Australian

It’s been 3 months since I had ptosis correction, chin liposuction, and Rejuran skin booster done at AB Plastic Surgery in Gangnam — and I’m genuinely happy with how everything has turned out. 
 
I’ve been sitting on the discomfort of ptosis for a while — always trying to poke my eyelid to fix it or accidentally rolling m eyes at my coworkers to try to utilize my forehead muscle to lift the eyelid. On top of that, I had some stubborn chin fullness and tired-looking skin that just didn’t reflect how I wanted to feel. I knew I wanted to do something about it, but finding the right clinic was key. 
 
I actually came across AB Plastic Surgery through an online search early on, but didn’t think much of it until I randomly met one of the translators who worked there while exploring Seoul. She was kind, knowledgeable, and encouraged me to come in for a consultation — no pressure, just information. That casual encounter gave me the push I needed to check them out properly. 
 
When I visited the clinic, I was impressed by how clean, modern, and organized it was. During the consultation, the doctor thoroughly explained my case and gave recommendations without being pushy. The entire staff was professional and attentive — it felt like I was in good hands from the start. 
 
The surgery day went smoothly under local and sedation anesthesia. I had all three procedures done in one session, and the recovery was much easier than I expected. Swelling and bruising were larger than I thought, but I might have had a reaction to the medication. There was a noticeable change after 1 week but I truly started seeing my eyelid settle after just a couple of weeks in. 
 
Now at 3 months post-op, my eyes look naturally more open, my jawline is a little more defined particularly when working at desk and utilizing my computer, and my skin feels healthier and firmer thanks to Rejuran. Everything looks balanced and subtle, and I’m happy for that! 
 
There’s still some marks obvious from the eyelid surgery that’s slightly poking out, but I was told it would soften as time passed. 
 
If you’re thinking about getting work done in Korea, I’d definitely recommend AB Plastic Surgery. The care was top-notch, and meeting someone from the clinic by chance turned out to be one of the best things that happened on my trip. They also have a dermatology aspect if you’re interested in skin treatments. 
 
Big thanks to the team — and especially to the translator who helped guide me from that first chance meeting to the end of my recovery.

Nonincisional Double Eyelid Surgery

I recently had non-incisional double eyelid surgery at AB Plastic Surgery, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel comfortable the moment I walked in. The clinic itself was clean, modern, and well-organized, which immediately gave me confidence in their professionalism and high standards. 
 
The biggest highlight for me was the doctor's expertise and approach. He knew exactly what would suit my face and gave a recommendation that was both natural and aesthetically pleasing. What I truly appreciated was that he was never pushy—he took the time to explain the procedure, listened to my preferences, and never tried to upsell anything unnecessary. I felt like I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about achieving the best results for me, not just performing another procedure. His confidence and skill reassured me that I had made the right choice. 
 
The procedure itself was quick and painless, and the recovery process was surprisingly smooth. I had very minimal swelling, and within just 4–5 days, I was already seeing beautiful, natural-looking results. Now that everything has healed, I can say without a doubt that this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My eyelids look so natural and well-balanced—just the enhancement I was hoping for! 
 
If you’re considering double eyelid surgery, especially the non-incisional method, I highly, highly recommend AB Plastic Surgery. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and patient-first approach truly set them apart. I am beyond thrilled with my results and so grateful for the amazing care I received!
