Design Plastic Surgery in Busan, South Korea

Personalized Plastic Surgery in Busan

Successful plastic surgery requires more than selecting a popular procedure. The patient’s anatomy, proportions, skin condition, tissue thickness, previous surgeries, health history, and expectations must all be considered.

Design Plastic Surgery emphasizes individualized consultation with a plastic surgeon. The process may include:

• Evaluation of the patient’s main concern
• Facial or body proportion analysis
• Review of previous procedures
• Explanation of available surgical methods
• Discussion of implants or surgical materials
• Anesthesia and preoperative preparation
• Expected recovery and follow-up
• Potential complications and limitations

The final surgical plan and quotation can change after an in-person examination.

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons

Design Plastic Surgery’s medical team includes three board-certified plastic surgeons.

Dr. Kwon Ki Hyun is a co-medical director and board-certified plastic surgeon. He completed plastic surgery training at Dongguk University Hospital and has undertaken additional training at the University of Tokyo Department of Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Gu Soo Han is a co-medical director and board-certified plastic surgeon. He completed plastic surgery training at Dongguk University Hospital and additional training at MD Anderson Plastic Surgery in Texas.

Dr. Bae Sung Kyu is a board-certified plastic surgeon with professional experience in eye surgery, rhinoplasty, and craniofacial plastic surgery.

Surgical availability and the doctor assigned to each procedure should be confirmed during consultation.

Breast Surgery in Busan

Breast surgery is one of the clinic’s principal treatment categories. The appropriate procedure depends on breast volume, skin elasticity, nipple position, chest width, asymmetry, previous implants, and the patient’s preferred size and shape.

Consultations may be available for:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Breast reduction
• Breast asymmetry
• Sagging breasts
• Inverted nipples
• Implant replacement
• Breast revision surgery
• Capsular contracture
• Implant rupture
• Implant rippling

Patients considering breast surgery should discuss implant selection, incision location, placement, scarring, recovery, long-term monitoring, and future revision possibilities.

Breast Lift and Breast Reduction

A breast lift raises and reshapes sagging breast tissue. Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and skin while improving the position and proportion of the breasts.

The surgical pattern may vary depending on the severity of sagging and the amount of tissue requiring correction. Possible incision approaches include:

• Periareolar incision
• Vertical incision
• Inverted-T incision

Each method has different advantages, limitations, and scar patterns. The surgeon selects the approach according to the patient’s anatomy and treatment goals.

Breast Revision Surgery

Revision breast surgery may be required because of capsular contracture, implant rupture, displacement, asymmetry, rippling, dissatisfaction with size, or changes in breast tissue over time.

Revision surgery is generally more complex than primary augmentation because the surgeon must evaluate:

• Existing implants
• Implant pocket condition
• Scar capsule
• Breast tissue thickness
• Skin elasticity
• Previous incisions
• Degree of asymmetry

Depending on the findings, revision may involve implant exchange, capsule removal, pocket correction, breast lifting, or a combination of techniques.

Eyelid Surgery in Busan

Eyelid surgery should be planned according to eyelid anatomy and overall facial balance. The clinic provides consultations for younger patients, men, middle-aged patients, and those seeking revision surgery.

Treatment options may include:

• Non-incisional double-eyelid surgery
• Incisional double-eyelid surgery
• Ptosis correction
• Inner and outer canthoplasty
• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Male eyelid surgery
• Revision eyelid surgery

The doctor evaluates skin thickness, fat distribution, muscle strength, eye position, existing creases, and facial proportions before recommending a method.

Middle-Aged Eyelid Surgery

Aging around the eyes can cause excess upper-eyelid skin, reduced visual openness, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and a tired appearance.

Possible treatment options include:

• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Sub-brow lifting
• Ptosis correction
• Forehead lifting

The goal is not simply to remove as much skin or fat as possible. Overcorrection may create an unnatural expression, hollowness, difficulty closing the eyes, or lower-eyelid malposition.

Rhinoplasty in Busan

Rhinoplasty at Design Plastic Surgery is planned according to the relationship between the nose and the rest of the face. The surgeon may evaluate the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, septum, skin thickness, cartilage, facial profile, and breathing function.

Consultations may address:

• Low or flat nasal bridge
• Bulbous nasal tip
• Hump nose
• Short or upturned nose
• Long or drooping nose
• Crooked nose
• Wide nostrils
• Male rhinoplasty
• Functional nasal concerns
• Revision rhinoplasty

Patients should stop smoking before and after rhinoplasty because nicotine can impair circulation and wound healing.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty may be considered when a patient experiences asymmetry, implant problems, tip deformity, breathing difficulty, scar tissue, dissatisfaction, or other concerns following a previous operation.

The surgeon must assess:

• Previous implant or graft materials
• Available septal cartilage
• Nasal skin condition
• Internal scar tissue
• Tip support
• Airway function
• Whether ear or rib cartilage may be required

The final plan may differ from the preliminary online assessment after the surgeon examines the nose directly.

Facelift and Anti-Aging Surgery

Facial aging involves more than loose skin. Changes can occur in the skin, fat compartments, connective tissue, muscles, and underlying bone support.

Design Plastic Surgery provides consultations for procedures such as:

• Thread lifting
• Mini facelift
• Full facelift
• Neck lifting
• Endoscopic forehead lift
• Upper and lower eyelid rejuvenation
• Facial fat grafting
• Facial liposuction
• Double-chin correction

The appropriate procedure depends on the degree of sagging, location of the concern, skin quality, facial volume, age, and desired recovery period.

Double-Chin Liposuction and Muscle Tightening

A double chin can result from excess fat, loose skin, weak tissue support, or separation of the platysma muscles beneath the chin.

For selected patients, the clinic may combine submental liposuction with muscle tightening. Liposuction removes localized fat, while muscle tightening can help improve deeper structural definition.

Patients with significant loose skin or neck aging may require a lifting procedure instead of, or in addition to, liposuction.

Thread Lifting in Busan

Thread lifting is a minimally invasive option for selected patients with early facial sagging. Absorbable threads are placed beneath the skin to provide mechanical support and stimulate a tissue response.

It may be considered for:

• Mild cheek sagging
• Early jowls
• Reduced jawline definition
• Nasolabial folds
• Facial contouring
• Mild neck laxity

Thread lifting cannot provide the same degree or longevity of correction as surgical facelift procedures. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, asymmetry, dimpling, or thread visibility can occur.

Ear Surgery

Ear shape can affect facial balance from both frontal and side views. Design Plastic Surgery provides consultations for protruding ears and other aesthetic ear concerns.

Otoplasty may involve reshaping cartilage, adjusting the ear’s position, or correcting asymmetry. The appropriate technique depends on the cartilage structure and the specific cause of protrusion.

Botox and Dermal Fillers

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments may be appropriate for patients seeking facial refinement or wrinkle improvement without surgery.

Botox may be used for:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Square jaw
• Chin dimpling
• Excessive muscle activity

Dermal fillers may be used for:

• Lips
• Chin
• Cheeks
• Temples
• Forehead
• Nasolabial folds
• Selected nasal concerns

The clinic performs facial assessment before designing the treatment and verifies the selected product before injection.

Skin Tumors, Wounds, Burns and Scar Treatment

As a plastic surgery clinic, Design Plastic Surgery also evaluates selected medical and reconstructive concerns, including:

• Epidermal cysts
• Benign skin tumors
• Lacerations
• Burns
• Surgical scars
• Traumatic scars
• Raised or widened scars

Treatment depends on the lesion type, size, depth, location, infection status, and previous treatment. Some removed lesions may require pathological examination.
