[BK Plastic Surgery Hospital] Myths about Plastic Surgery

[Myths about Eyelid Surgery]

Q1. Non-incisional double eyelid surgery does not last long?

A1. False.

Many people think the non-incisional method cannot create long lasting results, but that is not true.

It is very important to choose a surgical method that suits you.

The non-incisional method is usually suitable for people with thick eyelid skin.

Also, since the BK single knot method pinches more than 3 times continuously
compared to other existing buried suture methods, the results are not reversible even with frequent irritation.

Q2. Recurrence is common after outer corner extension?

A2. False.

Through recovery process after surgery, the healing of surgical site may make you think that the surgery has failed.

Previously, extension was only allowed up to 3 mm, creating dis-satisfactory results for patients.

However, through a lot of research, BK has come up with a surgical method which can extend the outer corners of the eyes up to 5 mm without recurrence.

This procedure has been acknowledged by both domestic and international conferences for its effectiveness, and may other surgeons are now using this method. 

Q3. People with keloid skin type should not receive eyelid surgery?

A3. False.

Keloid usually forms on places when tension builds on wounds located on places such as the chest, abdomen, shoulder, and earlobes.

This means that Keloid hardly ever appears on the eyelids after eyelid surgery.

However, the severity of Keloid varies on an individual basis and you must consult with a specialist for accurate information before having any procedures done. 

Q4. Incisional double eyelid surgery leaves a severe scar?

A4. False.

When the incisional double eyelid surgery is performed, it is true that scarring is more distinctive than the non-incisional method.

However, the scar gradually fades away after a certain time period, and will look like your double eyelid crease rather than a scar.

[Myths about Nose Surgery]

Q1. Nose surgery prevents piggy nose?

A1. False.

When only one implant is inserted into both the nasal bridge and nasal tip, there is limitation in the movement of the nose.

However, recent surgical methods now separate the procedure.

An implant for the nasal bridge and cartilage for the nasal tip allowing for a natural curve in the nose.

But it is still important to make sure the bridge of the nose isn't too high.

Q2. Your nose becomes red in winter because after nose surgery?

A2. False.

People have not had plastic surgery may have a red nose

when it is cold.

These days, instead of L-shaped implants, autologous cartilages are used for nasal tip surgery meaning it does not cause redness on your nose when it is cold.

Q3. When your skin is too thin, you may be able to see the implant?

A3. True. 

You can undergo nose surgery even when the skin on your nasal bridge is thin.

However, the implant may have a greater chance of being visible.

That is why we delicately adjust the implant to reduce its chance of visibility.

Also, people with thin skin should not elevate their nose too high. 

Q4. Deviated nose correction can also fix chronic rhinitis?

A4. True.

A deviated nose usually means that both the nasal bone and septal cartilage are deviated.

When the septal cartilage is deviated, it may cause difficulty when breathing and will often lead to chronic rhinitis and sinusitis.

Thus, deviated nose correction can enhance the airways therefore also improving the overall nasal condition.

[Other Myths]

Q1. Getting plastic surgery in the Summer may lead to infection?

A1. False.

Some people worry that if the weather is hot, the surgical wound will heal much slower and will become infected.

However, the recovery process is not affected by the weather or seasons.

On the contrary, hot weather can actually increase the blood circulation in the skin which can help to prevent infection.

Q2. You can't breastfeed after breast augmentation?

A2. False.

Breast augmentation is performed on a different location from the ducts needed during breastfeeding.

This means that the implants do not interfere with giving birth and breastfeeding.

Q3. Pain after facial contouring surgery is severe and long lasting?


A3. False.

Bones do not have any sensation meaning that you cannot feel any pain on the actual bones.

The pain you feel is not from the bones, but actually from the nerves and muscles surrounding them because they have been re-positioned.

Q4. Surgical sites after liposuction become bumpy?

A4. False.

If your skin is bumpy after liposuction, it means that there has been too much fat removed at once which has caused destruction of the skin layers.

At BK Plastic Surgery we use a thin cannula, called ultra-Z, to dissolve fat via ultrasound without damaging nearby tissues so that the skin surface will be even and smooth.

It is important to know the right information when it comes to plastic surgery because one mistake can have great consequences.

So you must always consult with an experienced specialist.

[BK Plastic Surgery Hospital] Plastic Surgery for Men

Plastic Surgery for Men

More and more men, not only in South Korea but throughout the world, are spending more time and money to look good. Here in Seoul it is no longer uncommon to see men just as interested as women in the latest facial products and fashion must haves. Today, men are also beginning to see the benefits of plastic surgery. Many men are interested in plastic surgery because they want to build self-confidence, get a job, or get married.

In the past ideal image of a man was one who is strong and masculine, someone who exudes power and charisma. However, more recently men have become more interested in keeping up a good and tidy appearance in order to get recognized in today competitive society. Here in South Korea, the highly popularized term ‘Flower Men’ describes a man who has both charisma and feminine beauty, an ideal sought after by many men today.

Male plastic surgery is becoming more common and most male patients prefer to have Rhinoplasty. They are interested in this procedure because it creates a smooth and sophisticated image.

If you look at many Korean male celebrities who have confessed to having plastic surgery, Rhinoplasty is usually one of the procedures they had done. A straight and well-shaped nose can help to define your face and give you a more sophisticated image. Rhinoplasty or men is different from women in that it tends to be performed to make their low profile nasal bridge higher and straighter between the beginning of nose and nasal tip.

A silicone implant can be inserted to make the nasal bridge higher and one's own ear cartilage or septal cartilage can be grafted into the nasal tip. If a patient has a protruding bone on their nasal bridge, drooped nasal tip, or deviated nose by strenuous exercise, a precise diagnosis is required before having surgery.

For both men and women, thorough consultation and consideration are required before getting any surgery. It is advisable to choose the plastic surgery procedures which will enhance your natural features.

Find the center on my face ! Nose surgery that boosts up your satisfaction ?

Find the center on my face ! Nose surgery that boosts up your satisfaction ?

Hi, this is Dr. Kim. 

Since nose is located in the center of face, it plays a critical role 

when it comes to make an overall first impression. 

Especially, Asians have noses that are mostly flat with bulbous tip 

that great number of people in Asian countries come for nose surgery. 

However, many people hesitate to actually get surgery 

because they worry about the surgical scars.  

I understand that if you are interested in nose surgery, 

you will likely be interested in 

where the incision will take place, and how bad the surgical scar will be. 

Nose surgeries that are involved with implants require some sort of incisions. 

Nose surgery can be divided into two types - open and closed methods.

Let's find out what are the difference between two methods. :)

01 OPEN METHOD

Open method is to make an incision in both nostrils and between the nostrils, raise the skin, and operate the surgery while observing the shape of nasal bone and the cartilage of the nasal tip. 

When the fundamental structure 

such as the length of nasal tip, width, or the overall length needs to be adjusted, 

inner structure must be observed in order to perform an accurate operation. 

Patients tend to worry about their scars after surgery, 

but it is only visible when you look at yourself up close,

and it becomes invisible after 2-3 months. 

02 CLOSED METHOD

Closed method is to make an incision inside a nostril 

and perform surgery through the small incision.

The method is usually used when the nasal tip needs to be raised or when the nasal bridge needs to be heightened up. 

It has an advantage that there is no surgical scar after surgery, 

but since it is hard to obtain a good sight. 

the method can be only used for simple nose surgery. 

▶ Before & After  Nose Surgery

Aquiline Nose (Hooked Nose) Correction

Nose Augmentation

Revisional Nose Surgery, Bulbous Tip Correction

Aquiline Nose Correction, Nasal Tip Surgery (Using Septal Cartilage)

For nose surgery, you must choose a plastic surgeon 

who is well experienced with his own methods, 

and you must have a thorough consultation 

to find out which surgical method is right for yourself. 

Also, it is very important to find the right shape of nose

 that is well balanced and harmonized 

with your overall facial features and facial shape.
