Amazing Two-Jaw & V-Line Experience with Dr. Oh at Regen Plastic Surgery

Hi RealSelf family,
This is my first review for Dr. Myung Jung Oh at the Regen Plastic Surgery for the following procedures: Two-Jaw (Double Jaw), Zygoma, and V-Line surgery. For full disclosure purpose, this review was not incentivized by any means, such as but not limited to: surgery discounts, self or clinical promotion, etc.
Like every plastic surgeon out there, I take all good and bad reviews with a grain of salt. More than often, the biggest incongruence in these reviews is patients having unrealistic expectations (between the 2 parties) and little patience for the final outcome. Two-jaw surgery is a major/serious surgery that can change one’s life and I had no intention to settle it with any surgeon other than the best. After 2 years worth of research, I knew I had to pay Dr. Oh a visit due to Regen’s distinctive reputation for their excellent service and outstanding work. Given this wasn’t my first plastic surgery experience, I went to Regen with a relatively high expectation and needless to say, I was completely blown away by the most warmful and amazing experience ever.
Starting off, my lovely consultants were Alice and Suyeon; not only were they exceptionally helpful and educational from the beginning to the end, I was never pressured in getting additional procedures done and I actually felt like I was being treated as a family of their own. Despite the fact that I went to Korea all by myself, they were super responsive and caring to a degree that I’ve never once felt alone or hopeless while going through these major surgeries; like many that were expected to have impatient, negative, or unrealistic expectations/thoughts, Alice and Suyeon’s affectionate kindness and genuine actions shined bright light and have given me courageous strength to fight through all my fears and doubts. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their proper guidance and I couldn’t be more thankful for everything that they’ve done for me.
Dr. Oh has been incredibly inspiring and I can’t speak highly enough of him. From my initial consultation with him, he was engaging, detail-oriented and receptive to my desires and needs. Dr. Oh is very easy to communicate with and provides dynamic comfortability in the doctor/patient relationship. I never felt that I wasn't being listened to and that my wants/outcomes were Dr. Oh’s priority. He matched all my specific requests with aesthetic and artistic precision. Not that I didn’t know this already but after meeting Dr. Oh in person, I was truly amazed by how knowledgeable and well-experienced of a surgeon he is. Despite my difficult desires, Dr. Oh was able to patiently address all of my questions; he also educated me on what’s to be expected from the surgery, such as the math behind two-jaw, v-line surgery, etc., and guided me throughout the whole experience in a gentle but informative manner. After the surgery, I was provided with the before & after CT scans and Dr. Oh kindly explained to me of all the improvements that he’s made on me from a medically safe and aesthetic perspective. In hindsight, Dr. Oh’s a trustworthy surgeon that strives for elegant balance in capturing one’s uniquely personalized beauty and delivers individualized, alluringly natural results; if time could rewind, I would’ve walked to Regen, given Dr. Oh my bank account and said: “go for it, Dr. Oh!”
Last but not least, I can’t appreciate enough for the surgery aftercare that Regen was able to offer. For the longest time, I’ve always thought of myself as an independent individual when it comes to tolerating pain and enduring through hardships; however, I was definitely proven wrong during my two nights stay at Regen. While being in a constant state of pain with severe fever, immense facial discomfort and breathing difficulties, the nurses had checked on me frequently and proactively tried their best to accommodate my needs. As far as I’m aware, most special/overnight care nurses are only required to check on you at your request or per required medical needs, such as but not limited to providing necessary medications, checking blood pressure, etc. But Regen’s compassionate care and warmth had exceeded my expectations as they attentively checked on me every 30 minutes or less. Despite the language barrier and my unbearable condition, their tender spirit and selfless gesticulation had meant more than just being a figure of light at my struggling and hopeless times, it was their munificent essence and bounteous kindness that pushed me through all adversities. While some may beg to differ or argue that it’s normal to receive this kind of aftercare service in this industry, I can cordially promise you that Regen is uniquely different and no doubt the best in the Gangnam area. In retrospect, I didn’t need to ask and I knew that taking care of patients isn’t just a job to the nurses at Regen, it’s their warm devotion to hold the hands of the ones in need and their affectionate passion to guide the path of the ones in lost; while there were many times that I was too exhausted to open my eyes, I could always feel their presence near by and through no exchange of words, it’d always feel calm to me as if someone’s telling me: “I’m here for you and everything will be fine.”
On a side note: For anyone that will be getting similar surgeries in the future, please manage your expectation as we’re all humans, please trust your doctor and nurses that they’ll do the best for you with the understanding of “not harming your body” and please kindly note that if certain requests can’t be fulfilled, there’s usually/always a reason to it; for example, excessive nasal suction will only make your breathing worse, drinking (water) will only be allowed after a certain set of time after your surgery, or excessive painkillers can cause severe stress to your liver, etc.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend Regen to anyone who’s been considering two-jaw or v-line surgeries. After visiting and consulting with various Korean and American doctors over the course of 2 years, I’m so glad that I picked Regen in the end and I’m not afraid to say this but - I’m actually excited to wake up everyday with my beautiful, elegant natural look. I can’t thank Regen enough for blessing me with this opportunity and choosing Dr. Oh’s definitely the best decision I’ve made thus far!
