Essential Items to Prepare for a Plastic Surgery Consultation at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is Dr. Choi Joong-hyeok from Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery.

Today, I’ll explain why it is important to show photos during a plastic surgery consultation, what kinds of photos you should prepare, and how they can be used during the consultation.

Why it is good to bring photos to a consultation

There are several reasons for showing the photo you want when consulting at a plastic surgery clinic.

It allows for intuitive understanding by looking at photos, and

because plastic surgery has a strong subjective aspect, it is very helpful when making a surgical plan.

Rather than vague expressions like natural, noticeable, or glamorous, showing the look or style you want with photos

makes it easier to understand and helps us clearly see the direction the patient wants.

How to make a rhinoplasty consultation more efficient?!

There is a clear definition of a beautiful nose depending on the ideal starting point of the nasal bridge and the angle of elevation, but it varies according to face shape and the nose shape you want.

For example, if a patient wants a natural rhinoplasty and the surgery is performed accordingly, the result may not look obvious, which can feel 부담스럽지 않고 인위적인 느낌 없이 편안한 인상을 줄 수 있지만

on the other hand, the difference before and after may feel minimal.

What counts as natural versus glamorous is also subjective, so to understand those preferences, you should actively express what you want during the consultation.

Photos to prepare for a rhinoplasty consultation

These days, it is easy to save photos on a phone, and with retouching apps, it is also easy to edit face photos, so it can be helpful to edit them into the style you want and show them.

Bringing before-and-after photos from plastic surgery apps is also a good way to show the appearance you want.

On the other hand, showing photos you do not like can also help during the consultation.

If you explain your opinions in various ways using specific examples, we can reflect them actively and provide the consultation accordingly.

Celebrity photos brought to the consultation

Some people also bring celebrity photos to the consultation, and it is fine to prepare photos of celebrities whose style and appearance you like.

The celebrity photos people often bring include O Yeon-seo, Song Hye-kyo, Karina, Shin Se-kyung, and IU. Even if you bring celebrity photos, they are very helpful in understanding what kind of nose shape and what style you prefer.

Since the desired height and ideal nose shape differ from person to person, I think showing photos during the consultation and actively asking questions if you have any are very important parts of the process.

I hope this was helpful to everyone preparing for a plastic surgery consultation, and I wish you good results after rhinoplasty.
