Facial Plastic Surgery in Busan

Facial surgery should be planned around the patient’s complete facial structure rather than one feature in isolation. Eyelid height, nasal proportions, cheekbone width, jaw shape and chin projection can all influence overall balance.

A consultation at JSTAR Plastic Surgery may assess:

• Overall facial proportions
• Eyelid skin and muscle function
• Eye-opening strength
• Nasal bridge and tip structure
• Jaw and cheekbone width
• Chin length and projection
• Facial asymmetry
• Skin and soft-tissue laxity
• Previous surgery and scar tissue
• Desired degree of change
• Functional symptoms
• Expected recovery

The final recommendation is made after an in-person examination.

Meet Dr. Jung Jae-hak

Dr. Jung Jae-hak is the representative director and board-certified plastic surgeon at JSTAR Plastic Surgery.

His background includes specialist training and teaching experience in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Inje University Busan Paik Hospital. He also holds a doctoral degree in medicine and has extensive clinical experience in facial plastic surgery.

Dr. Jung’s principal treatment areas include:

• Double-eyelid surgery
• Ptosis correction
• Revision eye surgery
• Middle-aged eyelid surgery
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Rhinoplasty
• Revision rhinoplasty
• Facial contouring
• Facelift surgery
• Ear correction
• Facial scar revision

The clinic follows a single-surgeon approach in which the representative surgeon manages consultation, surgery and postoperative follow-up.

Eye Surgery in Busan

Eye surgery can modify eyelid definition, eye-opening strength and the relationship between the eyes and surrounding facial features.

JSTAR provides consultations for:

• Non-incisional double-eyelid surgery
• Partial-incision double-eyelid surgery
• Incisional double-eyelid surgery
• Ptosis correction
• Inner-corner surgery
• Outer-corner surgery
• Lower-corner surgery
• Revision eye surgery
• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Middle-aged eye surgery

The recommended procedure depends on eyelid thickness, skin excess, fat volume, muscle function and existing asymmetry.

Non-Incisional Double-Eyelid Surgery

Non-incisional double-eyelid surgery creates a crease through small access points without making a full-length incision.

It may be considered for patients with:

• Relatively thin eyelids
• Limited excess skin
• Minimal eyelid fat
• Suitable eye-opening strength
• No significant scar tissue
• A preference for a subtle crease

The method is not suitable for every patient. The crease may loosen, and patients with thick tissue or substantial skin excess may require an incisional approach.

Incisional Double-Eyelid Surgery

Incisional double-eyelid surgery provides broader access to the eyelid structures. It may be recommended when the patient has:

• Thick eyelid tissue
• Excess upper-eyelid skin
• Significant fat
• A weak or unstable crease
• Marked asymmetry
• Previous eyelid surgery
• Age-related eyelid changes

The incision allows the surgeon to adjust skin, fat, muscle and fixation according to the patient’s anatomy.

Partial-Incision Double-Eyelid Surgery

A partial-incision method combines elements of non-incisional and full-incision surgery. Small incisions provide limited access for tissue adjustment and crease fixation.

It may be considered for selected patients who need more correction than a non-incisional procedure can provide but do not require a full incision.

Ptosis Correction

Ptosis correction improves weak eye-opening function. Patients with ptosis may appear tired, raise their eyebrows to open their eyes or develop forehead lines from compensatory muscle use.

The surgeon should distinguish true ptosis from:

• Excess eyelid skin
• A low eyebrow position
• An overly high eyelid crease
• Eye asymmetry
• Deep-set eyes
• Previous surgical changes

Ptosis correction may be combined with double-eyelid surgery when appropriate.

Eye-Corner Surgery

Eye-corner procedures adjust the shape or visible width of the eyes.

Options may include:

• Epicanthoplasty or inner-corner surgery
• Lateral canthoplasty or outer-corner surgery
• Lower-corner surgery

The design should consider eye spacing, bone structure, eyelid tension and the risk of visible scarring or recurrence. Excessive correction can create an unnatural appearance or expose too much of the inner eye.

Revision Eye Surgery

Revision eyelid surgery may be considered for:

• An overly high crease
• A low or loosened crease
• Uneven double eyelids
• Multiple crease lines
• A thick or swollen-looking fold
• Visible scars
• Persistent ptosis
• An unnatural eye shape
• Overcorrection
• Under-correction
• Dissatisfaction after corner surgery

Revision surgery is more complex than primary surgery because scar tissue and altered anatomy can limit the available options.

The surgeon must identify why the first procedure produced an unsatisfactory result before selecting a correction.

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery

Age-related eye changes may include loose upper-eyelid skin, lower-eyelid bags, wrinkles, eyebrow descent and reduced eyelid function.

JSTAR’s middle-aged eye-surgery consultations may include:

• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Ptosis correction
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery

The goal is generally to create a fresher appearance without removing excessive skin or fat.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Under-eye fat repositioning redistributes protruding lower-eyelid fat to smooth the transition between the eyelid and cheek.

It may be suitable for patients with:

• Under-eye bags
• Tear-trough hollows
• Shadowing beneath the eyes
• Relatively limited loose skin
• Uneven lower-eyelid contours

Patients with substantial skin excess or lower-eyelid laxity may require lower blepharoplasty instead of fat repositioning alone.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty can address a combination of:

• Protruding under-eye fat
• Loose lower-eyelid skin
• Fine wrinkles
• Tear-trough irregularity
• Lower-eyelid laxity

The operation may involve fat repositioning, conservative fat removal, skin adjustment or structural support. Excessive tissue removal can create hollowness or lower-eyelid retraction, so individualized planning is important.

Rhinoplasty in Busan

JSTAR Plastic Surgery provides nose-surgery consultations for concerns involving the bridge, nasal tip, nostrils and overall facial profile.

Available categories include:

• Bridge augmentation
• Nasal-tip surgery
• Alar or nostril reduction
• Hump-nose correction
• Crooked-nose correction
• Revision rhinoplasty

The surgical plan may use an implant, the patient’s cartilage or a combination of materials depending on anatomy and treatment goals. Bridge augmentation can improve a low or poorly defined nasal bridge. The surgeon considers the forehead, eyes, nasal tip and chin when determining the appropriate height.

A bridge that is excessively high or wide can appear unnatural and may increase pressure on the skin. The goal should be facial balance rather than maximum projection.

Nasal-Tip Surgery

Tip surgery may improve:

• Bulbous nasal tip
• Low tip projection
• Drooping tip
• Short or upturned appearance
• Tip asymmetry
• Weak structural support

Cartilage reshaping, suturing and grafting techniques may be used. Available cartilage can come from the septum, ear or rib, depending on the required support.

Alar Reduction

Alar reduction, also called nostril reduction, narrows selected areas of the nasal base.

Suitability depends on:

• Nostril width
• Alar flare
• Nasal-tip projection
• Skin thickness
• Facial proportions
• Risk of visible scarring

Over-reduction can make the nose look pinched or create breathing concerns, so conservative design is important.

Hump-Nose Correction

Hump-nose surgery reduces a raised bridge and may require adjustment of the nasal bones, cartilage or tip.

Removing the hump alone may not create a balanced profile. Some patients also need bridge reconstruction or tip support to avoid an overly flat or irregular appearance.

Crooked-Nose Surgery

A crooked nose may involve the nasal bones, septum, cartilage or all three. Surgery may address visible asymmetry and selected functional concerns.

Perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed, especially after trauma or previous surgery.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty may address:

• Implant movement or visibility
• An unnatural bridge
• Nasal-tip drooping
• Asymmetry
• Persistent hump or width
• Scar contraction
• Shortened nose
• Excessive bridge height
• Functional discomfort
• Dissatisfaction after previous surgery

The surgeon evaluates the existing implant, remaining cartilage, internal scar tissue and condition of the nasal skin.

Some cases may require implant removal, ear cartilage or rib cartilage. A staged procedure may be recommended when infection or severe tissue damage is present.

Facial Contouring Surgery

JSTAR provides facial-contouring consultations for patients concerned about prominent cheekbones, a square jaw, a wide lower face or an underdeveloped chin.

Available procedures include:

• Square-jaw reduction
• L-shape lifting cheekbone reduction
• V-line surgery
• Chin surgery
• Chin advancement or reduction
• Correction of a recessed chin
• Paranasal augmentation

Facial-contouring surgery changes the skeletal structure and requires careful assessment of bone, nerves, soft tissues and facial proportions.

Square-Jaw Reduction

Square-jaw surgery reshapes a prominent mandibular angle. Depending on the patient’s anatomy, correction may involve:

• Mandibular-angle reduction
• Cortical bone reduction
• Long-curve jaw reduction
• Muscle-related treatment
• Combination contouring

A wide-looking jaw can be caused by bone, enlarged masseter muscles, facial fat or a combination. Surgery should only be recommended when bone structure is a significant contributor.

Cheekbone Reduction

Cheekbone reduction repositions prominent zygomatic bone to create a smoother facial contour.

JSTAR lists an L-shape lifting cheekbone-reduction technique. The precise surgical method depends on whether projection is most prominent at the front, side or both areas.

The operation requires stable fixation and consideration of the surrounding soft tissues. Possible risks include asymmetry, cheek descent, numbness and incomplete correction.

V-Line Surgery

V-line surgery reshapes the lower face by adjusting the jaw and chin. The procedure may combine mandibular contouring with chin surgery.

It may be considered for:

• Wide lower face
• Prominent jaw angles
• Broad chin
• Long chin
• Short chin
• Asymmetrical chin
• Facial imbalance

The design should reflect the patient’s complete facial proportions rather than attempting to create the narrowest possible chin.

Chin Surgery

Chin surgery can modify chin width, length or projection.

Possible approaches include:

• Sliding genioplasty
• T-shaped osteotomy
• Chin reduction
• Chin advancement
• Correction of a recessed chin
• Chin implant placement in selected cases

Bone-based surgery can create structural change, while fillers or implants may be appropriate for more limited projection concerns.

Paranasal Augmentation

Paranasal augmentation, sometimes called noble surgery in Korea, adds support around the base of the nose.

It may be considered for:

• A recessed midface appearance
• Deep nasolabial folds related to skeletal structure
• Limited support beside the nose
• Imbalance between the nose and upper lip

The procedure does not treat every type of nasolabial fold. Folds caused mainly by cheek descent or skin aging may require a different approach.

Facelift Surgery

JSTAR provides facelift consultations for patients with facial sagging, jowls and reduced jawline definition.

A facelift may address:

• Drooping cheeks
• Jowls
• Lower-face laxity
• Deep facial folds
• Loose skin
• Reduced jawline definition
• Selected neck-aging concerns

The procedure may involve repositioning deeper tissue and removing selected excess skin. A facelift can produce more extensive correction than a nonsurgical lifting treatment, but it also involves incisions and a longer recovery.

Facelift vs. Nonsurgical Lifting

Nonsurgical treatments may improve mild skin laxity or provide temporary tightening. They generally cannot reproduce the tissue repositioning possible with surgery.

A facelift may be more appropriate when the patient has:

• Advanced jowls
• Significant cheek descent
• Substantial excess skin
• Repeatedly short-lived nonsurgical results
• Lower-face and neck laxity

The choice depends on anatomy, goals, recovery tolerance and medical suitability.

Dermal Fillers

JSTAR offers dermal-filler treatments within its facial rejuvenation program.

Fillers may be used for:

• Forehead
• Temples
• Cheeks
• Tear troughs
• Nasal bridge
• Nasolabial folds
• Lips
• Chin
• Jawline

Patients should disclose all previous filler injections, especially permanent or unknown products. The provider should explain the product, amount, expected duration and possible complications.

Laser Skin Treatments

The clinic also lists laser procedures for selected skin concerns.

A consultation may address:

• Pigmentation
• Facial redness
• Uneven skin tone
• Acne-related marks
• Scars
• Skin texture
• Fine lines
• General rejuvenation

The available equipment and suitability of a particular treatment should be confirmed directly with the clinic.

Ear Surgery

JSTAR provides ear-correction procedures for selected congenital or acquired ear-shape concerns.

Consultations may include:

• Prominent ears
• Earlobe deformity
• Torn earlobe
• Ear asymmetry
• Other visible structural concerns

The exact operation depends on cartilage shape, skin condition and the area requiring correction.

Scar Revision

Scar revision aims to make a scar less noticeable. It cannot completely erase a scar.

Treatment options may include:

• Surgical scar revision
• Injection treatment
• Laser treatment
• Combination care
• Continued observation

The recommended approach depends on scar location, age, width, color, elevation and the patient’s tendency to develop thick scars.
