Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty changes the shape or proportions of the nose by working on its bone, cartilage and supporting tissues. A useful consultation in Korea addresses appearance and nasal breathing together, then explains the proposed structural changes, incisions and material choices. Open and closed approaches describe access; neither is a universal measure of surgical quality.
Read the procedure guide →Revision rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty is another nasal operation after previous surgery, undertaken for appearance, function or both. Scar tissue, altered support and the availability of cartilage make the assessment different from a first operation. The key decision is whether the concern has a surgically addressable cause and whether the expected improvement justifies another recovery and its risks.
Read the procedure guide →Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation increases breast volume using implants or, in selected patients, transferred fat. Planning should consider chest width, existing tissue, asymmetry and the desired change rather than cup size alone. Implants require a long-term care plan because they are not lifetime devices and additional surgery may be needed.
Read the procedure guide →Breast lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning supporting tissue and the nipple. It primarily changes position and shape; it does not reliably provide the volume or upper-breast fullness of an implant. The central decision is whether you want a lift, more volume, less volume, or a combination.
Read the procedure guide →At your consultation
Explain the change you want and what you would prefer to preserve. Bring details of previous procedures and ask the doctor to connect the proposed approach with your individual anatomy.
- How does my anatomy and medical history affect your recommendation?
- What alternatives would you consider, including postponing treatment?
- Which risks are most relevant to my case, and how would they be managed?
- Who will provide follow-up after I return home?
Discuss current specialist registration, the doctor’s role in your operation and who will provide follow-up. Training, professional membership and specialist certification describe different things.
