The Value I Want to Share with Those Who Visit Sinsa Station Ribbon Plastic Surgery

Hello.

I am Park Jae-hyun, the chief director of Re:本 Plastic Surgery, where I meet you at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station.

At one point, through blog posts and interviews, I talked about the idea of a “doctor of beauty.”

That may sound unfamiliar.

People often say that “aging” is an “incurable disease.”

It is a way of saying that, so far, there is no way to stop the passage of time that comes to people.

But as modern medicine has developed and times have changed, it has become possible to soften, to some extent, the traces that time leaves on the face.

In the past, when people thought of “plastic surgery,” it was often seen as a one-time hospital visit for surgery.

Because access to plastic surgery was very high, once a surgery went well, there was usually no reason to come back.

But what about now? The threshold for visiting a plastic surgery clinic has become much lower.

That is because the treatments needed change according to the face as it changes over time.

Plastic surgery does not end with a single operation.

As time passes and people get older, new externally noticeable issues inevitably appear.

I believe that what is needed is a doctor of beauty who can think through these issues together with patients and help solve them.

Perhaps my feelings reached my patients, because one patient who had eye surgery as a child came to visit years later with her mother.

She had undergone double eyelid surgery, and later visited for her mother’s upper eyelid surgery.

Even now, whenever I think of that patient, my heart feels warm.

That is why I treat everyone who comes to the clinic with the same heart as I would family, and with the same heart I would have toward a close friend.

I see us not as people who meet once and part ways, but as people who will continue to be involved with one another and move forward together.

As I was writing to convey my sincerity, the introduction became a little long.

Today, I would like to take some time to once again reflect on Re:本 Plastic Surgery and my unchanging promise as a “doctor of beauty.”

Some of this may include my personal thoughts and experiences, but I think that if those who visit Re:本 Plastic Surgery can know even a little about me, their steps toward the clinic will feel a bit lighter.

Two-way communication

Those who come to a plastic surgery clinic mostly have some kind of complex about their appearance.

Even if it is not exactly a complex, they may think, “If only this part could change, if only this part could be fixed...”

At the very least, they come because there is a part that bothers them every time they look in the mirror.

Because of this, it is very important for a plastic surgeon to understand what part a patient feels complex about and what they want.

In some plastic surgery clinics, there are times when the director conducts consultations or surgery in the direction that he or she believes is right.

They then explain it to the patient and try to persuade them. People tend to follow along because it is the doctor speaking.

And many people are disappointed because they are unhappy with the results after surgery.

In the medical field, things used to proceed not in both directions, but in one direction.

Of course, for functional issues such as cancer surgery, the medical team’s opinion is often more important than the patient’s.

But plastic surgery is a little different.

I believe plastic surgery is something that also touches a patient’s heart.

Within the limits of what I can do, I follow the patient’s wishes.

Of course, I cannot satisfy 100% of everything a patient wants.

If an excessive procedure is needed, safety can be threatened, and after surgery the result may actually look awkward.

Also, if too much surgery is done, it becomes difficult to reverse.

That is why, if there is something that truly cannot be done, I also need time to persuade the patient.

To this end, consultation time at Re:本 Plastic Surgery tends to be long.

It is an effort to make a careful diagnosis, take a cautious approach, and achieve a result that satisfies both doctor and patient.

Perhaps because people can sense this from me, when I look at reviews of Re:本 Plastic Surgery, there are often comments such as “very kind” and “explains things well.”

Seeing those reviews gives me reassurance that I am on the right path, and that is rewarding.

With a mindset of continuous learning A complete plastic surgery clinic that reads trends

Plastic surgery trends are constantly changing.

In the past, the celebrity photos patients brought in or the styles they wanted were fairly uniform,

but these days, it is really different. People want surgery that brings out their own individuality.

In addition, better equipment and treatment methods continue to emerge.

Perhaps because I have an early-adopter personality, whenever good equipment comes out, I always want to try it at least once.

That is also why I began performing procedures using thread lifting from the early 2000s, around the time it was first introduced in Korea.

I also attended training programs and learned from many mentors.

I also learned from patients.

As I applied the medical knowledge I experienced and learned according to each patient’s situation, the response was good.

Naturally, word of mouth spread among patients, and they came back to visit again.

The reason we have maintained our place while Apgujeong and Sinsa became the mecca of plastic surgery and countless clinics opened and closed is

that we have continued to learn new techniques, become familiar with applying them to each patient’s situation, and constantly read and absorb trends.

Most important of all is safety

What matters more than beauty is safety.

As I mentioned earlier, I do my best to listen to the concerns patients share with me as much as possible,

and to carry out surgery or procedures in the direction they want.

However, there is one line I will never compromise on, no matter what.

That is the part related to “safety.”

Although I mainly handle procedures for aesthetic purposes, I am still a “doctor.”

Because plastic surgery in particular is surgery performed on the “face,” even a difference of just 1 mm or 1 degree can affect a patient’s safety.

I have been a doctor for 30 years and have performed countless plastic surgery operations,

but even now, when performing surgery or procedures, I keep repeating to myself “carefully” and “delicately” as I provide treatment.

I am also doing my best to provide a safe and hygienic environment where customers can place their trust.

When I was young, both of my parents worked in fields related to medical services, so I naturally came to dream of becoming a doctor.

I worked hard with only one goal in mind—to become a doctor—and never once seriously considered any other profession.

So when asked whether there was any particular reason I became a doctor, I could only answer that it was “fate.”

But when asked why I chose plastic surgery out of all those specialties, there was a special reason.

It has to do with my mentor.

My mentor corrected with plastic surgery a person who was born with facial deformity and lived their entire life being excluded.

I can still not forget that patient’s smile from that time. Because it was a special experience of seeing firsthand how life can change through external transformation.

Having worked in plastic surgery for a long time, I came to understand how many people live carrying appearance-related complexes like a lump in their hearts.

That is why I do not think of myself as someone who simply fixes external features.

I think of myself as a doctor who creates even a small difference and soothes the patient’s heart as well.

Fortunately, the medical staff who work with us at the clinic are gladly joining me in this intention.

In the future, I and Re:本 Plastic Surgery will continue to be your doctor of beauty and guide you through the appearance-related concerns you encounter as you live your life.

Although plastic surgery trends will continue to change, Re:本 Plastic Surgery will meet you with an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and safety.

Thank you for reading this long post.
