Dr. Dongil ChoiStitch removal takes 4-12 days, major swelling subsides within 1-2 weeks, and returning to daily life is possible after 5-7 days. Natural results settle in at 3-6 months.

Dr. Dongil ChoiEpidermal damage is minimized, allowing for a quick return to daily life. Temporary erythema and micro-crusting may occur, and it stabilizes relatively quickly with proper moisturizing care.

Dr. Dongil ChoiDerma (1.5) / Eye (2.0) / Cell-up (3.0) / Line-up (4.5) cartridges are combined according to individual skin thickness and condition. Gangnam Seoyon actively utilizes 3.0 and 4.5 cartridges for deep penetration.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe ICD Cooling system controls skin temperature in real time to reduce pain. Anesthesia is not mandatory but is available upon request.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe key difference is that Ultherapy® is performed while directly viewing the SMAS layer with DeepSEE™. Shurink is a HIFU-based non-surgical lifting, and XERF is based on monopolar RF high-frequency.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure. However, there may be temporary redness or fine nodules at the treatment site, which will subside within 1~2 days.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIf inserted at the correct depth, they are rarely visible or palpable. Our clinic precisely analyzes anatomical positions to perform the procedure at the optimal depth.

Dr. Dongil ChoiDepending on the results, an additional touch-up may be recommended 3 to 6 months after the first procedure. Proceeding in stages yields more natural results.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe shortened and upturned nasal tip is corrected by removing the implant, releasing the adhesions, sufficiently stretching the skin, and repositioning the nasal tip cartilage.

Dr. Dongil ChoiCauses vary, such as large alar cartilages, widely spread cartilages, or thick subcutaneous fat, so a surgical method suitable for the cause must be selected.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIn most cases, yes. Depending on the patient's nasal structure and skin thickness, a combination of septal cartilage, ear cartilage, rib cartilage, and autologous dermis is designed.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. If the asymmetry originates from one side, accurately correcting only that side can yield a more natural result.
