Plastic Surgery Photos - Why the Director Takes Them Personally

Hello, this is Nunnoon Unnie.

Our director, while treating patients,

unless the patient refuses,

gets consent and takes the photos personally.

Plastic surgery photos: why do you take them yourself, Director?

No, Director! You should be doing lots of surgeries

and zipping through laser treatments quickly!

How can you do something like that?!

When I saw the director treating patients in the early days,

I once asked because I felt frustrated...

He said there is something only the person who takes the photos directly can know. -o-

In particular, he says that in eye surgery, there can be subtle differences.

Our Director Heuk says that.

Reason 1

When you stand in front of a camera,

your face naturally stiffens because you feel nervous...

You may also unconsciously open your eyes wider.

For people who open their eyes using their forehead,

when they open and close their eyes,

there is also a change in eyebrow height.

According to Nunnoon Director,

if the doctor does not take the photos personally,

it is impossible to know the patient’s condition or habits at the time of shooting,

so the accuracy of the diagnosis decreases...

Now that I think about it,

large, factory-style plastic surgery clinics have good division of labor,

so there are separate staff members who only handle photos,

but

Nunnoon Plastic Surgery

is different from those clinics!

Like a one-person luthier’s workshop,

it pursues craftsmanship, stitching every detail one by one...

It feels a bit like Yun O-yeong’s "The Old Man Who Sharpened a Club," doesn’t it?

When I nagged him because I was frustrated, the director quietly replied like this...

I felt a little embarrassed.

On the other hand, in obstetrics and gynecology,

when a sonographer takes the ultrasound and the director later explains it,

versus when the director personally performs real-time ultrasound and explains it,

there is a certain kind of trust you can feel...

I think I felt comforted by those kinds of detailed touches when receiving medical care.

Reason 2

Another reason Director Nunnoon mentions is that

the before-and-after photos of plastic surgery are what allow you to objectively judge the results of the surgery,

so he says that photographic documentation is important in many ways, including for medical records, providing information to patients, and the doctor’s self-reflection (?)...

But when looking at before-and-after photos in plastic surgery,

if the lighting is different, or the angle or field of view changes,

there is room for an intentional manipulation disguised as a mistake (according to the director’s words, something like Gwangnam Unnie? Barbie Jaw?)

and as I listened to that,

I thought about our director, who tries to diagnose accurately,

evaluate his own results objectively,

and focus on small differences that others do not notice,

and thought, “Ah... the name ‘Nunnoon’ really fits him!!”

Actually, while renovating the clinic, the director said he wanted to install umbrella-shaped lights in the examination room!

You were going to hang this from the ceiling of the exam room?!

Thanks to us stopping him, saying, “Is this a photo studio or what?”

we barely managed to prevent track lighting from being installed on the ceiling.^^

Instead, a few days later, he went and bought something strange again, haha.

A Nikon Speedlight placed in the exam room instead of an umbrella

To the staff at Nunnoon who teased him, saying he was a victim of gear obsession,

the director explained the textbook standards, saying things like “the aperture value for clinical plastic surgery photos is this, the ISO value is that...”

and as I watched him,

I thought that maybe thanks to this kind of stubbornness,

he was able to personally take all the photos at a quality worthy of being published in SCI papers!

Bonus: Nunnoon’s unique characteristics related to photography

One of the points that distinguishes

our Nunnoon Plastic Surgery clinic from others

is that immediately after taking a photo,

you can look at your own appearance together with the patient...

I’ve been in the Gangnam plastic surgery scene for a long time in my own way,

but consulting with the patient right there and then about the photos taken,

and finding ways to improve, felt quite fresh!!

When a certain filming director saw this, he said,

“It’s rare to find a doctor who takes photos personally,

and this is the first time I’ve seen a doctor using tethering!!!”

Did you enjoy it?^^

So, I introduced some of the unique features of our plastic surgery clinic that are a little different from other hospitals!

Just from this post alone, doesn’t Nunnoon somehow seem meticulous? haha

There are actually many more secret weapons...

but it wouldn’t be fun to reveal everything at once.^^

I’ll introduce them little by little.

See you next time~~
