Free Virtual Simulation for International Patients

Kowon Plastic Surgery has prepared various processes to ensure the safety and success of surgeries for international patients. 

Among these, the virtual simulation consultation, which allows you to compare your post-operative appearance, is of utmost importance.

Patients often imagine the ideal changes they desire through surgery, 

but they may not know what kind of results can realistically be achieved based on their specific conditions. 

Additionally, it can be difficult to determine whether their desired look will truly suit them.

So Dr. Kim from Kowon Plastic Surgery utilizes his extensive surgical experience and skills to conduct simulations, 

allowing patients to discuss their post-operative appearance directly. 

This process helps in determining which shapes and features suit them best while also developing a detailed surgical plan.

"We only discuss surgical results once patient safety is fully ensured."

At Kowon Plastic Surgery, safety is the utmost priority. Advanced monitoring systems and emergency equipment are in place to guarantee the safety of every patient:

• State-of-the-Art Monitoring and Emergency Equipment: The clinic is equipped with cutting-edge devices to continuously monitor the patient’s condition and handle any potential emergencies. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) ensures that power outages will not affect surgeries.

• Comprehensive Monitoring: From the start of the procedure until full recovery, dedicated staff meticulously monitors the patient’s condition. A multi-layered system ensures that even the smallest errors are prevented.

• Sterilization of Medical Equipment: The clinic uses multiple sterilization methods such as high-pressure gas sterilization, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization, and thorough cleaning of surgical tools.

• Emergency Preparedness: Equipped with a self-generating power system, automated defibrillators, and oxygen respirators, the clinic is prepared for any situation. Regular training ensures the staff is always ready for emergencies.

• Detailed Post-Operative Care: After surgery, patients are carefully monitored, treated daily, and provided with necessary medications, including antibiotics, even after returning home.

By ensuring a well-spaced schedule, the clinic focuses on individual care for each patient, avoiding rushed or excessive procedures. Continuous staff training further prepares them for any potential emergency during surgery.

1. A Rhinoplasty Specialist Dedicated to Nose Surgery for Over 20 Years

Unlike many clinics that perform a wide range of cosmetic procedures,

Dr. Kim Hyung Taek has dedicated more than 20 years exclusively to rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.

Many international patients choose KOWON because they want treatment from a surgeon whose primary focus is nose surgery.

2. One Doctor, One Patient System

At KOWON, every consultation, surgical design, operation, and follow-up is personally handled by Dr. Kim.

Patients never experience a situation where one doctor consults and another performs the surgery.

3. Specialized in Revision Rhinoplasty

Many patients travel to Korea after unsuccessful nose surgeries performed elsewhere.

Revision rhinoplasty requires advanced surgical judgment, scar tissue management, and structural reconstruction.

KOWON has extensive experience treating complex revision cases.

4. Expertise in Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

KOWON is known for its extensive experience using autologous rib cartilage and donated rib cartilage.

For patients who require stronger support or have undergone previous surgeries, rib cartilage can provide stable and long-lasting results.

5. Natural Results That Fit Your Face

Our goal is not simply to create a higher nose.

We focus on achieving harmony between the nose, lips, chin, and overall facial structure.

6. Functional Improvement Alongside Cosmetic Enhancement

A beautiful nose should also function properly.

When appropriate, procedures can address breathing difficulties, deviated septum, and chronic rhinitis alongside cosmetic concerns.

7. Limited Number of Surgeries Per Day

Dr. Kim intentionally limits the number of surgeries performed each day to maintain quality and focus.

This allows for greater attention to detail and individualized care.

8. Customized Surgical Planning

Every nose is different.

Surgical plans are tailored based on facial proportions, skin thickness, cartilage strength, previous surgical history, and the patient's goals.

9. International Patient Support

International patients can receive online consultations before traveling to Korea.

Our team provides support in English and Japanese throughout the process.
