SELFI Plastic Surgery in Busan, South Korea

Individualized Plastic Surgery in Busan

Plastic surgery should begin with a careful analysis of the patient’s anatomy, concerns, medical condition, previous procedures, and realistic goals.

At SELFI Plastic Surgery, the consultation process may include:

• Evaluation of the patient’s primary concern
• Facial proportion and tissue analysis
• Review of previous operations
• Explanation of available surgical methods
• Selection of implants or graft materials
• Discussion of anesthesia
• Expected recovery and follow-up
• Review of potential risks and limitations
• Personalized postoperative care planning

The final procedure and quotation can only be confirmed after an in-person examination.

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons

SELFI Plastic Surgery’s medical team includes board-certified plastic surgeons with clinical experience in facial lifting, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast surgery, and body procedures.

The clinic’s doctors include:

• Dr. Kim Woo Jung
• Dr. Kim Joon Oh
• Dr. Lee Hyuk

Doctor availability and the surgeon responsible for each procedure should be confirmed directly during consultation.

Rhinoplasty in Busan

Rhinoplasty should improve the balance between the nose and surrounding facial features. The appropriate design depends on the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, septum, skin thickness, cartilage strength, facial profile, and breathing function.

SELFI Plastic Surgery provides consultations for:

• Low or flat nasal bridge
• Bulbous nasal tip
• Hump nose
• Short or upturned nose
• Long or drooping nose
• Crooked or asymmetric nose
• Wide nostrils
• Nostril-shape correction
• Male rhinoplasty
• Functional rhinoplasty
• Revision rhinoplasty

The surgeon selects the technique and materials after evaluating both aesthetic and structural concerns.

Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

Autologous rib cartilage may be considered when the patient requires strong structural support or does not have sufficient septal or ear cartilage.

It may be used for:

• Major tip reconstruction
• Severe short nose
• Contracted nose
• Weak nasal support
• Multiple revision rhinoplasty
• Reconstruction following implant problems

Rib cartilage provides a larger amount of graft material but involves an additional donor-site incision. Patients should discuss chest scarring, discomfort, cartilage warping, recovery, and whether rib cartilage is truly necessary.

3D Custom Nasal Implants

A 3D custom implant may be designed according to the patient’s nasal structure rather than relying on a standard pre-shaped implant.

Potential advantages include:

• Improved fit along the nasal bridge
• More individualized height and width
• Reduced need for extensive manual carving
• Consideration of existing asymmetry
• Better adaptation in selected revision cases

A custom implant does not eliminate all surgical risks. Infection, displacement, visibility, asymmetry, and capsular changes remain possible.

Implant-Free Rhinoplasty

Implant-free rhinoplasty is intended for patients who prefer not to use silicone or another synthetic bridge implant. Depending on the anatomy and goal, the surgeon may use septal cartilage, ear cartilage, rib cartilage, or other autologous tissue.

This approach may be considered for patients with:

• Thin nasal skin
• Concerns about synthetic implants
• Previous implant complications
• Selected bridge or tip deformities
• A preference for autologous materials

Not every patient can achieve the desired bridge height without an implant. Suitability requires an individual examination.

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty addresses nasal appearance together with selected structural concerns affecting breathing.

The surgeon may evaluate:

• Deviated septum
• Crooked nasal structure
• Internal narrowing
• Nasal valve support
• Previous trauma
• Breathing changes after earlier rhinoplasty

Functional improvement cannot be guaranteed based only on external photographs. Internal examination and appropriate diagnostic testing may be required.

Revision Rhinoplasty in Busan

Revision rhinoplasty is generally more complex than primary nose surgery because previous procedures can change the cartilage, skin, blood supply, and internal scar tissue.

Patients may seek revision surgery for:

• Implant displacement
• Visible or palpable implants
• Tip asymmetry
• Persistent bulbous tip
• Overly high or low bridge
• Short or contracted nose
• Crooked nose
• Breathing difficulty
• Infection or inflammation
• Dissatisfaction with the previous design

The surgeon must determine which materials were previously used and how much usable cartilage remains.

Contracted Nose Revision

A contracted nose may develop after repeated surgery, inflammation, infection, implant-related problems, or excessive scar formation. The nose may become shorter, harder, upturned, or visibly distorted.

Correction can require:

• Removal of problematic materials
• Release of internal scar tissue
• Structural reconstruction
• Lengthening of the nose
• Strong cartilage grafting
• Careful management of damaged skin and soft tissue

Patients with active inflammation may need staged treatment rather than immediate reconstruction.

Mini Facelift in Busan

A mini facelift is designed for patients with early or moderate lower-face sagging who do not yet require a full facelift.

It may target:

• Mild cheek descent
• Early jowls
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Reduced jawline definition
• Lower-face laxity

A mini facelift usually involves a shorter incision and more limited dissection than a full facelift. However, the extent and longevity of correction may also be more limited.

Deep Mini Facelift

SELFI’s Deep Mini Facelift uses a short incision near the sideburn area to address the skin and deeper SMAS layer. The clinic may also use absorbable sutures to support repositioning of the facial fat layer.

This procedure may be suitable for patients who need more structural correction than a thread lift but do not require the extent of a full facelift.

The exact incision, dissection area, lifting vector, and amount of skin removal depend on the patient’s aging pattern.

MACS Lift

A MACS lift, or Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift, uses shorter incisions with suspension sutures to lift selected facial tissues.

It may help improve:

• Sagging cheeks
• Early jowls
• Lower-face heaviness
• Reduced jawline definition
• Selected nasolabial folds

A MACS lift is not identical to a full SMAS or deep-plane facelift. Patients with advanced facial and neck laxity may require a more extensive procedure.

Full Facelift

A full facelift is intended for more advanced sagging involving the cheeks, lower face, jowls, and jawline. Treatment may include repositioning of the SMAS or other deeper tissues together with removal of excess skin.

A facelift plan should consider:

• Degree of skin laxity
• SMAS descent
• Facial fat distribution
• Neck aging
• Jawline definition
• Previous lifting procedures
• Hairline and scar placement
• Desired longevity

Facelift surgery cannot stop future aging, but it may reposition tissues to create a younger and more defined appearance.

Neck Lift Surgery

Neck aging may include loose skin, vertical bands, localized fat, or reduced definition between the chin and neck.

Depending on the cause, treatment may involve:

• Neck liposuction
• Platysma muscle tightening
• Submental incision
• Skin lifting
• Lower facelift
• Combined face and neck lift

Patients with both lower-face and neck laxity may achieve a more balanced result from combined treatment.

Double-Chin Liposuction and Muscle Tightening

A double chin may result from submental fat, weak platysma support, loose skin, or a small or recessed chin.

SELFI Plastic Surgery offers double-chin treatment that may combine fat removal with tightening of the muscles beneath the chin.

This approach may be considered when liposuction alone would not adequately improve the neck angle or deeper tissue support. Patients with significant loose skin may also require a neck or lower facelift.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift

An endoscopic forehead lift uses small scalp incisions and an endoscope to elevate the forehead and brow tissues.

It may be considered for:

• Drooping eyebrows
• Heavy upper eyelids caused by brow descent
• Forehead wrinkles
• Frown lines
• Tired or stern facial expression
• Uneven brow position

The doctor should determine whether the main concern comes from the eyelids, eyebrows, or both. Some patients may benefit from combining forehead lifting with eyelid surgery.

Forehead Reduction Surgery

Forehead reduction advances the hairline to decrease the visible height of the forehead. It may be considered for patients with a naturally high hairline or an elongated upper-face proportion.

Suitability depends on:

• Scalp flexibility
• Hair density
• Hairline shape
• History of hair loss
• Forehead height
• Previous forehead or scalp surgery

Patients should discuss scar placement, temporary numbness, hair loss around the incision, and the amount of reduction realistically possible.

Eyelid Surgery in Busan

SELFI Plastic Surgery provides personalized eye surgery for younger adults, men, middle-aged patients, and patients seeking revision surgery.

Options include:

• Natural-adhesion double-eyelid surgery
• Incisional double-eyelid surgery
• Ptosis correction
• Inner and outer canthoplasty
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Male eyelid surgery
• Revision eyelid surgery

The recommended method depends on eyelid skin, fat distribution, muscle strength, eye position, existing scars, and the patient’s desired crease.

Natural-Adhesion Double-Eyelid Surgery

Natural-adhesion surgery creates a connection between the eyelid skin and deeper opening structures through small access points.

It may be appropriate for patients with:

• Thin or moderately thick eyelids
• Limited excess skin
• No severe eyelid sagging
• A preference for a less invasive method
• Suitable eyelid-opening function

It is not appropriate for every eye type. Patients with significant excess skin, strong tissue thickness, or complex revision concerns may require an incisional method.

Revision Eyelid Surgery

Revision eye surgery may address:

• High or low eyelid creases
• Asymmetry
• Multiple crease lines
• Bulky “sausage” eyelids
• Weak or overly strong fixation
• Visible scarring
• Incomplete eye opening
• Dissatisfaction with the previous shape

Timing is important because swelling and scar tissue continue to change for several months after surgery. Unless urgent correction is required, the surgeon may recommend waiting until the tissues have sufficiently stabilized.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Under-eye fat repositioning moves protruding fat into adjacent hollow areas to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

It may be considered for:

• Under-eye bags
• Tear-trough hollows
• Tired-looking eyes
• Uneven lower-eyelid contours

It does not directly treat pigment-based dark circles or significant excess skin. Lower blepharoplasty may be more appropriate for patients with substantial skin laxity.

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery

Age-related eye concerns may include upper-eyelid sagging, brow descent, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and changes in eyelid-opening strength.

Treatment may involve:

• Upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty
• Under-eye fat repositioning
• Ptosis correction
• Sub-brow lifting
• Endoscopic forehead lifting

The aim is to improve the eye area while preserving a natural and familiar expression.

Breast Augmentation

SELFI Plastic Surgery provides breast augmentation consultations based on the patient’s chest width, breast tissue, skin elasticity, asymmetry, and desired size.

Patients should discuss:

• Implant brand and shape
• Implant size and projection
• Placement above or below the muscle
• Incision location
• Existing breast asymmetry
• Expected scarring
• Postoperative recovery
• Long-term implant monitoring
• Potential future revision

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and additional surgery may be required later.

Male Plastic Surgery

Male facial and body procedures should consider differences in bone structure, skin thickness, muscle development, hairline, and preferred aesthetic outcome.

SELFI Plastic Surgery provides consultations for:

• Male eyelid surgery
• Male rhinoplasty
• Gynecomastia surgery
• Facial lifting
• Double-chin surgery
• Hyperhidrosis
• Bromhidrosis

The goal is generally to improve proportions while maintaining or refining masculine facial characteristics.

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is enlargement of the male chest caused by glandular tissue, fat, or a combination of both.

Treatment may involve:

• Liposuction
• Glandular tissue removal
• Combined fat and gland removal
• Skin correction in more advanced cases

The doctor should evaluate whether the enlargement is true gynecomastia, fat-dominant pseudogynecomastia, or related to another medical condition.

Hyperhidrosis and Bromhidrosis Treatment

SELFI Plastic Surgery evaluates excessive sweating and persistent underarm odor.

Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating, while bromhidrosis refers primarily to unpleasant body odor. Although the two conditions may occur together, they do not always require the same treatment.

The recommended method depends on symptom severity, sweat-gland activity, previous treatment, skin condition, and the patient’s recovery preferences.

Ultherapy and Thermage FLX

Patients who do not need surgical lifting may consider energy-based procedures.

Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper supporting layers and may help improve mild sagging and jawline definition.

Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat the deeper skin and support collagen remodeling, firmness, and texture.

The treatments may be performed separately or combined for selected patients because they target different tissue depths.

Rejuran, Juvelook and Skin Boosters

SELFI Plastic Surgery offers injectable treatments for skin quality and collagen support.

Options may include:

• Rejuran
• Juvelook
• Skin Botox
• Conventional Botox
• Dermal fillers
• Lip filler

Rejuran is commonly selected for texture, hydration, fine lines, pores, and elasticity. Juvelook is a collagen-stimulating injectable that may be used for pores, acne scars, fine lines, and general skin rejuvenation.

Filler and Foreign-Material Removal

The clinic evaluates patients concerned about previous fillers or other facial foreign materials.

Treatment depends on:

• Type of material
• Treatment area
• Time since injection
• Presence of inflammation
• Migration or irregularity
• Whether the product can be dissolved
• Relationship to surrounding tissue

Hyaluronic acid fillers may sometimes be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Permanent or unknown materials may require imaging, surgical removal, or staged treatment.
