questions

• Which department should I see for a double chin?
  Plastic Surgery(성형외과) is generally the first department to see for a double chin, as surgeons there assess both structural and cosmetic factors contributing to the appearance. If the double chin is suspected to be related to hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, or significant weight gain, a referral to Internal Medicine(내과) or Endocrinology(내분비내과) may follow after initial evaluation.
• Which department should I see for double eyelid revision?
  Plastic Surgery(성형외과) is generally the primary department for double eyelid revision, as these procedures involve surgical correction of previous eyelid work. In some cases, an Ophthalmology(안과) consultation may also be involved if vision-related concerns or eyelid function issues are present.
• Which department should I see for eye shape correction (ptosis)?
  Plastic Surgery(성형외과) is generally the first department to consider for eye shape correction related to ptosis, as surgeons there handle both cosmetic and functional eyelid concerns. If the drooping is suspected to have a neurological or muscular cause, an Ophthalmology(안과) or Neurology(신경과) consultation may follow. The appropriate path depends on whether the concern is primarily cosmetic, functional, or disease-related, so a clinical evaluation is the starting point.
• Which department should I see for facial sagging?
  Plastic Surgery(성형외과) is generally the first department to evaluate facial sagging, as surgeons there assess both the structural and aesthetic causes of the condition. If sagging appears to be related to neurological causes such as sudden facial muscle weakness, a Neurology(신경과) consultation may also be recommended. In some cases, a Dermatology(피부과) visit may come first when sagging is attributed to skin laxity or collagen changes.
• Which department should I see for revision rhinoplasty?
  Plastic Surgery(성형외과) is generally the primary department for revision rhinoplasty, as surgeons in this field specialize in both aesthetic and structural correction of the nose following a previous procedure. In cases where breathing difficulties or functional nasal issues are also present, an Otorhinolaryngology(이비인후과) consultation may be recommended alongside or after the initial plastic surgery evaluation.
