Plastic Surgery Recommendations by Plastic Surgeons

I received a certificate as a plastic surgeon in the spring of 2000, the beginning of the 21st century, and my career as a specialist has been over 20 years and has been in business for almost a similar period of time and has consulted countless people. The most frequently asked question is where to fix. They want to know what plastic surgery they need on their faces.

​It's a very easy question, but the answer contains not only the medical knowledge of the doctor who answers, but also the values and the way of life. It is very mechanical to tell which surgery will be most effective based on the various aesthetic standards in the plastic surgery textbook. Artificial intelligence (AI) will be able to answer faster if it knows the size and the ratio.

​However, the ideal answer can be given only when the person who asked the question is considered to have the most desired and current lifestyle, time and economic leisure. It would be quite rude if a doctor keeps recommending surgery on a part that he or she is satisfied with and does not want plastic surgery at all. Cosmetic surgery is not a disease, so if you don't want it, the purpose of the surgery itself will be eliminated.

​If you want to change fundamentally and dramatically, you can recommend more aggressive and larger-scale surgery. Simple, or quick, simple surgery is recommended to a simple and small operation. For example, for a person with protruded mouth, the fundamental and groundbreaking method is to undergo protrusion surgery, and depending on the overall outline, it may be best to do cheekbones, square jaw surgery, or fat transplants together. However, if you want something very simple and quick to recover, you can recommend fat transplants, chin surgery, and aristocratic surgery alone or in combination.

​The more experience you have as a doctor, the more important the anatomical characteristics are, but I think what the person wants and the situation he or she is in is more important. It is very important whether you want to change the level of disorientation or slightly change the image, and you need to plan the surgery by considering whether you are busy with your social life or whether you have a break.

​Of course, the doctor's personal aesthetic sense and subjectivity are involved here. Some doctors prefer artificial feelings even if it's the same surgery, and in my case, I value natural feelings that are not obvious even if my patients have had surgery. For the surgical methods I also prefer the simplest and safest method and I'd rather don't recommend unnecessary surgery and side effects. 

Recommendation of plastic surgery is I always worry about even though I get the same question every day, I still worry as a specialist today.
