Facial Plastic Surgery in Korea

As the pioneer of implant-free rhinoplasty in Korea, Dr. Myung Ju Lee performed the country’s first rib-cartilage rhinoplasty, moving beyond the traditional approach of merely augmenting the nasal bridge with foreign implants. Unlike simple implant rhinoplasty, Dr. Lee’s technique reconstructs the entire nasal framework, from bridge and mid-vault to tip and adjacent mid-face. With over 20 years of experience treating patients of diverse ethnic backgrounds, he tailors each procedure to harmonize structural integrity and aesthetic balance, delivering natural, enduring results.

Eyelid surgery plays a crucial role in shaping first impressions by optimizing both the aesthetic harmony and functional balance of the eyes. At VIP Plastic Surgery Clinic, double eyelid surgery is our most commonly performed operations, addressing cosmetic goals and functional concerns like ptosis correction. Because the eyelid’s skin and underlying tissues are extremely thin, surgical precision and a deep understanding of periorbital anatomy are important to achieve optimal results. Our surgeons have extensive experience in eyelid procedures and consistently achieve exceptional outcomes.

Facial contouring is much like sculpting a work of art: subtle adjustments to bone create a harmonious balance along with other features of the face. These procedures play a critical role in defining facial proportions and symmetry—a fundamental principle of facial plastic surgery. In many Asian patients, a recessed chin is a common featured and genioplasty is commonly paired with rhinoplasty to enhance chin projection with overall facial harmony. At VIP Plastic Surgery Clinic, we develop individualized plans based on each patient’s anatomy, utilizing advanced osteotomy and reshaping techniques to deliver natural, well-proportioned results.
