Very Good Plastic Surgery - with Dr. Choi Min Hyeob After spending a lot of time researching facial rejuvenating surgery in several countries I chose Very Good Plastic Surgery in Seoul, Korea. Doctor had great reviews and many years of experience. He was very kind, patient, and took the time to explain the procedure. The nurses and staff are with you every step of the way and are a much needed support. Jenny, Lilit, Smule, Candy, and so many others… thank you so much for your compassion and help. I set my video consultation appointment, then made the trip to the beautiful country of Korea. From my first appointment at the clinic, the staff helped me with all arrangements. I had my surgery and stayed at the clinic overnight. The staff walked me to get my prescriptions, andI then I recovered at my hotel returning for many check up visits including hyperbaric treatments for a speedy recovery with the doctor and staff. The recovery process is long, but the staff will be there to support you. Again, thank you to all involved in my experience! If you are considering having surgery, I would highly recommend Very Good Plastic Surgery to all!
I had a revision rhinoplasty and lip fillers, I can’t express enough how facilitating Jenny and all the staff were. It’s daunting to have any cosmetic surgery done but they take great care of you, ensuring all of your worries, needs and desires are communicated clearly. After last time where results were not exactly what I’d hoped for, I felt a little worried but they really listened, highlighting exactly what I did want and didn’t, working within the constraints of my nose type (bulbous.) The head Dr Im Young Min was extremely professional, caring and friendly, making refinements whilst keeping it looking natural. I’m so greatful, he’s really skilful and attentive ! when I got my lip fillers done again I was quite worried about the pain but all the staff were so supportive, providing comfort in an uncomfortable situation, Lilit especially as I had a rather tight grip on her hand I also must say the healing was quicker than I expected, their facilities including deswelling treatments and the aftercare services were effective, relaxing and helped massively with the healing. They do really listen to you and try to improve your experience, especially Jenny as she frequently checked in every day making sure your wellbeing is good and all needs are met whilst being super nice. Getting medication and consultations were also very easy, overall it was an accessible, straightforward and good experience! I love my new nose already and can’t wait for more of the swelling to go down. If you are a foreigner or not I cannot recommend this clinic enough, they’re great, practical and effective - I couldn’t be anymore thankful ????? so thank you VG. The results are better than I had hoped for, Dr Young min precision and technical skills really are reflected. Despite it being the first week and a half and having very thick skin, I can already see the refinements he made, I'm so happy with it!! This is a doctor and clinic you can trust 100% they’re amazing.
Hello everyone. Here is my story. I had a quite difficult case as had nose congestion, deviated septum and quite a huge hump on my bridge. I was looking for a hospital that can do both cosmetic and functional correction. I consulted several hospitals in Korea before I found VG Plastic surgery. VG Hospital was professional and offered both cosmetic and functional correction as they have rhinoplasty surgeon and ENT specialist as well. They did ct scan of my nose before the consultation. I was pretty surprised it is free even for consultation only. Dr.Kim Young Woo consulted about the cosmetic part and recommended lateral osteotomy, hump shaving and lifting my droopy tip. I didn't want any foreign material to be used for my bridge, so the doctor recommended using some tissues from behind the ear like fascia to keep the nasal bridge line smooth after hump shaving. For my tip doctor suggested using septal cartilage graft. Dr.Nam Jae Sung my ENT doctor consulted me about functional correction and checked my CT scans and even suggested checking inside the nose with an endoscope to find out what is the reason for nose congestion. Dr.Nam also speaks good English, so it was nice to communicate with the surgeon directly in English. Dr. Nam recommended to do turbinoplasty and septoplasty to correct my deviated septum and improve enlarged turbinates size with some kind of ultrasound, so it is not much invasive procedure. Both doctors were detailed and thoughtful. Hospital also has up-to-date, clean facilities and nice staff. I was really nervous before surgery, because nose appearance really matters. First few days after the surgery was quite tough, I was too swollen, could not open my eyes normally, needed to breathe with my mouth only. I still have bruising and swelling, especially around eyes area and tip. Waiting for my final result and very excited to see my bridge without cast. Updated on 4 Sep 2022: Here is my nose without the cast after nose surgery with Dr.Kim Young Woo and Dr.Nam Jae Sung at VG Plastic surgery. I got my surgery on 18th August. The nose bridge looks much straighter and defined, although I still have swelling and bruising. I think I already like the shape of my nasal bridge. Waiting for swelling to subside on my tip and bruising around the eyes. I also feel like I can breathe much easily than before. Dr.Nam checked inside the nose with endoscope and said I still has swelling, but septum is much straighter and nasal cavity is extended, so airflow can easily go through. So far so good. I dont regret with my decision on doing surgery in Korea with VG Plastic surgery.
In general, undergoing a tummy tuck does not cause the thighs to become larger. A tummy tuck is often performed along with 360-degree liposuction of the abdomen, which removes excess skin and reduces fat volume. This can make the waist and abdominal area appear smaller and more contoured. As a result, the thighs may appear relatively larger in comparison, even though their actual size has not changed. Unless you gain a significant amount of weight after surgery, a tummy tuck itself will not make your thighs bigger—it's just a matter of visual balance.
Genioplasty involves reshaping the chin bone—either to make it slimmer, longer, or more projected forward. This can be done through sliding genioplasty (where the bone is cut and repositioned) or shaving-type contouring.
In terms of recovery, square jaw (mandibular angle) surgery typically involves the masseter muscle and affects chewing function more directly, so jaw movement, chewing, and speaking can be more restricted during the healing period.
However, if you're only undergoing genioplasty (especially without jaw angle reduction), speaking and eating are generally easier during recovery.
That said, swelling and bruising around the lower face and chin are expected, and it will take some time for these to gradually improve.
Stitches inside the mouth are usually removed about two weeks after surgery.For a safer and more comfortable recovery, we recommend eating soft, easily digestible foods for at least one week after the procedure.
Currently, your eyebrows are positioned quite low, resulting in a narrow gap between the eyes and eyebrows. This causes the eyelids to appear heavily hooded and gives a somewhat bulging impression.
A forehead lift (brow lift) raises the eyebrows, which helps to improve the heavy or tired appearance of the eyes, creating a more natural and refreshed look.
Additionally, your forehead appears relatively wide, so I recommend combining the forehead lift with a forehead reduction surgery.
This procedure involves making an incision along the hairline to lower the height of the forehead while simultaneously lifting the eyebrows.
I suggest considering both the forehead lift and forehead reduction together for the best results.
Currently, there is a noticeable tear trough under your eyes, with protruding fat above it. This unevenness creates a shadow effect, which makes the dark circles appear more prominent and gives the under-eye area a tired and aged appearance.
In the photos, there does not appear to be significant skin sagging or deep wrinkles under the eyes.In such cases, surgery can be performed through the conjunctiva (the inner side of the lower eyelid) without any external incision. During the procedure, the tear trough is released, and the protruding fat is repositioned and spread evenly to smooth out the contour.
Since there is no visible skin laxity, a traditional lower blepharoplasty is not necessary. Instead, conjunctival under-eye fat repositioning is recommended for a smoother and brighter under-eye appearance.
Based on your photos, it appears that you do not have a large amount of fat overall.Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets subcutaneous fat — the fat beneath the skin — and is especially effective for removing stubborn fat in areas like the lower abdomen that are difficult to lose through diet or exercise.
A tummy tuck involves surgically removing excess skin. However, from both your front and side views, there doesn’t appear to be any noticeable loose or sagging skin.
At this point, skin excision does not seem necessary, and liposuction alone may help achieve a more contoured appearance for your abdomen.
