Plastic Surgery FAQ: Will Be, Seoul

Dr. Kim Jun-young, representative surgeon, performs every operation at Will Be Plastic Surgery. He also carries out the consultation, surgical design and follow-up visits. Will Be is a one-surgeon clinic, so there is no hand-off to another doctor at any stage. You can read more on the one-surgeon principle page.

Will Be Plastic Surgery is at 5F Mihye Building, 590 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is in Sinsa-dong, a short walk from Sinsa Station and near Garosu-gil. See the contact page for phone and KakaoTalk details, and the clinic tour for directions.

The clinic focuses on eyelid surgery and revision eyelid surgery, endoscopic forehead lift, facelift and thread lift, non-implant rhinoplasty, PRP micro fat grafting, men's eye and nose surgery and selected non-surgical treatments. If you are not sure what applies to you, start with find your concern.

Consultations are by appointment. Message the clinic on KakaoTalk. If you live abroad, you can begin with a virtual consultation by sending photographs and a description of your concern, then confirm the plan in person in Seoul.

It is a minimal-incision technique for creating a double eyelid crease, suited to people with relatively thin skin and little excess fat. The name refers to the short procedure time. Whether it suits you depends on your eyelid anatomy. See natural adhesion double eyelid.

It depends on your skin thickness, fat, excess skin and whether the eyelid opens fully. Minimal-incision methods suit thinner eyelids; incisional surgery allows skin and fat to be adjusted and tends to hold for longer in fuller lids. Our comparison explains the trade-offs.

Ptosis means the upper eyelid sits too low, often because the levator aponeurosis, the tendon that lifts the lid, has stretched or weakened. It can make eyes look sleepy even with a crease. Dr. Kim measures lid position and muscle function to decide. See ptosis correction.

Often, yes. Where skin is not excessive, lower-lid fat can be addressed through an incision inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar. When there is extra skin, a fine incision just below the lashes is used, which typically fades well. See lower blepharoplasty.

With incisional surgery, sutures are usually removed around 5 to 7 days after surgery, and most visible swelling settles over 2 to 4 weeks. The crease continues to soften for several months. Minimal-incision methods usually recover faster. See the day-by-day recovery guide; your surgeon will confirm.

In many cases, yes, though it is one of the more demanding revisions. Lowering a crease involves releasing scar tissue, restoring soft tissue where needed and creating a new, lower attachment. How much can be achieved depends on remaining skin and tissue. See crease too high.

Many surgeons advise waiting several months after the first operation so that swelling settles and scar tissue matures, often around 6 months, though timing varies. Earlier intervention is sometimes considered for specific problems. See when can I have revision surgery?

Revision surgery works with scar tissue, altered anatomy and sometimes less skin or fat than before. Structures may have been attached in unnatural positions. Each of these makes the operation slower and more individual. See revision surgery and revision vs primary.

It lifts the brows and smooths the forehead through small incisions hidden in the scalp, using a thin camera to release and reposition tissue. It can also reduce heaviness over the upper eyelids caused by brow descent. See endoscopic forehead lift.

A thread lift can provide a modest lift with little downtime, but the effect is generally shorter-lived and less extensive than a surgical facelift, which repositions the deeper SMAS layer. The right choice depends on the degree of laxity. See thread lift vs mini facelift.

Non-implant rhinoplasty reshapes the nose using your own cartilage and tissue rather than silicone or synthetic implants. It suits people who want a moderate, natural change or wish to avoid implants. Its limits depend on available cartilage. See non-implant rhinoplasty.

Grafted fat must establish a new blood supply, and some of it is naturally reabsorbed in the early months. How much remains varies between people and areas. Fat that survives after this period is typically long-lasting. See fat grafting recovery and fat survival.

Cost depends on the procedure, its complexity, whether it is primary or revision surgery, anesthesia and any combined procedures. Korean rules also restrict price advertising. Will Be provides a written quote after assessment. See pricing and quotes.

Korean medical advertising rules restrict public before-and-after galleries. Will Be shows clinical photographs to consented, logged-in viewers or during consultation. Individual results vary, and no photograph can predict your own outcome. See results.

Korean rules restrict clinics from using patient testimonials in advertising, and reviews selected by a clinic are hard to verify. Will Be encourages you to read independent platforms instead. See reviews for how to read them wisely.

Many eyelid procedures use local anesthesia, sometimes with sedation. Longer operations such as facelifts may use general anesthesia. The choice depends on the procedure, your health and your comfort. See anesthesia options explained and safety and anesthesia.

Risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, a crease that is higher or lower than intended, dry eye, difficulty closing the eye in the short term and unfavorable scarring. Most are uncommon and many can be managed. See eyelid surgery risks for a full explanation.

It depends on the procedure. Many eyelid operations require around a week to allow suture removal and an early review, while revision, lifting or combined procedures may need longer. Your surgeon will confirm. See how long to stay in Korea.

Many patients fly after their sutures are removed and an early check has been done. Longer flights raise concerns about swelling and blood clots, so timing is agreed with your surgeon. See flying after plastic surgery.

Follow-up continues remotely through photographs and messages, reviewed by Dr. Kim himself. You receive written aftercare instructions and guidance on when to seek local help. See follow-up care from abroad.
