Rejuran Healer

Endoscopic Forehead Lift
Does it cause hair loss?
Dr. Dongil ChoiAlthough the incision line is located inside the hairline, permanent hair loss rarely occurs because the incision and suturing are done in a way that protects the hair follicles. Temporary telogen effluvium may occur but will recover.
Answered 2026.07.11
Facelift
How long do the effects last?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is the longest-lasting lifting procedure because it corrects the SMAS layer itself, generally lasting 7-10 years or more. Individual differences exist as aging continues.

Thread Lifting
Will the threads be visible or palpable?
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.

Fat Grafting
Is it finished in one session?
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.

Revision Rhinoplasty
How is capsular contracture corrected?
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.

Rhinoplasty by Type
Are there various causes for a bulbous nose?
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.
Answered 2026.07.11
Autologous Rhinoplasty
Can autologous tissue alone raise the nose sufficiently?
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.

Eyelid Retraction Surgery
Is it possible to correct only one side?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. If the asymmetry originates from one side, accurately correcting only that side can yield a more natural result.
Answered 2026.07.11
Double Eyelid Lowering
Are ptosis correction and fat grafting absolutely necessary?
Dr. Dongil ChoiNo. Less than 5 out of 100 people accompany them, and unreasonable accompaniment causes greater side effects. Neatly resolving it with a two-line incision alone is Gangnam Seoyeon's technique.
Answered 2026.07.11
Incisional Double Eyelid Revision
What is the difference between single-line and double-line incision?
Dr. Dongil ChoiSingle-line incision excises the skin between the existing lines to create a single line, while double-line incision creates a new line while leaving the existing line intact. The method is chosen based on the amount and condition of the skin.

Under Eye Surgery
Transconjunctival or skin incision, which one is right for me?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf there is almost no skin sagging and only fat needs to be arranged, the transconjunctival method is suitable. If there is skin sagging that needs to be addressed together, the skin incision (middle-aged lower blepharoplasty) method is appropriate.
Answered 2026.07.11
Middle-Aged Eye Surgery
Can I get upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. It is a recommended combination as refining both the upper and lower eyes together provides a natural youthful effect.

Will people notice during the recovery period?
Dr. Dongil ChoiMajor swelling recovers in 1 week, and a natural appearance in 2-4 weeks.
Answered 2026.07.11
Canthoplasty
Will the canthoplasty close up again?
Dr. Dongil ChoiWe minimize the possibility of recurrence through precise design and suturing. However, post-operative care is important as it varies depending on individual recovery ability.
