Medical Team

The same surgeon from consultation to follow-up

Primary rhinoplasty and revision are performed by Director Min Sung Ki; SMAS facelifts by Dr. Chae Soo Wook. Consultation, surgery, dressings and follow-up are handled by the operating surgeon, never handed off. An ENT specialist and an anesthesiologist are also on staff, so functional problems can be treated during rhinoplasty and an anesthesiologist is present for every operation.

Plastic Surgery

Min Sung Ki민성기 MIN SUNG KI

Director · Board-certified Plastic Surgeon

Plastic surgery is not “art”, it is “medicine”. An artist can create by personal taste and discard what they don't like; a doctor must never treat a human body with an artist's mindset.

Many years focused on rhinoplasty and revision. Primary rhinoplasty is designed to the proportions of the whole face, balancing shape and breathing; also experienced in rib cartilage rhinoplasty and complex revisions, including patients who had undergone multiple revisions elsewhere (individual cases; results vary).

Director · Board-certified Plastic Surgeon

Aging doesn't start at the surface. Pulling loose skin tight only makes a face look wide and unnatural — what needs treating is the collapsed structure itself.

Leads SMAS facelift and neck lift. Rather than pulling skin, he releases the retaining ligaments and repositions the SMAS layer, fat and skin together, with incisions designed to the degree of sagging to avoid pixie ear and scarring.
