Why Is It Important for Some Clinics to Let You Choose the Director?

Gangnam filler · Botox: the real reason why choosing the director has become important

Banni Plastic Surgery Chief Director Ban Ho-kyung

Hello.

I am Ban Ho-kyung, a board-certified plastic surgeon whose specialty is eye surgery and whose strongest skill is revision eye surgery.

When I look at community reviews, I always see comments like these.

"The director does it personally here, right?"

"You have to get it from Director ○○○, it’s different if someone else does it."

This is not just a matter of personal taste.

If you have ever had a result you were not happy with,

or if you have heard people around you say, "The filler was dissolved," or "The Botox became asymmetrical,"

you naturally start checking who will actually be working on your face first, rather than the product name or the clinic name.

Instead of a price event, you start asking, "Is this clinic a safe place?"

"Is this person someone who can properly read my face?"

That is a sign that the market has matured.

As there is more information, the 기준 for choosing is changing too.

Gangnam dermatology treatment result differences are more often due to something other than the product

"Why are the results different when it’s the same product?"

To say it right away, most differences in results come not from the product, but from the diagnosis process.

Even when the same hyaluronic acid filler is used, the outcome changes completely depending on how carefully the facial structure was read,

how deep it was placed between the fat layer and the muscle layer, and how the volume balance was adjusted.

Cases such as filler side effects, filler asymmetry, and filler clumping

are also often caused by procedures performed before the structure was sufficiently analyzed.

What matters more than treatment speed was the consultation time

If you have consulted at several places in Gangnam, there are probably quite a few of you.

A prepared treatment plan as soon as you walk in, consultations that end within 10 minutes, fast and efficient progress...

On the surface, that can feel convenient, but honestly, it is hard to guarantee whether your facial structure was properly read in that speed.

I spend a lot of time analyzing the face during consultations.

What is truly needed for this face right now,

which areas are actually better left untreated for now,

and in what order it should be approached.

Only after going through that judgment carefully do I explain the treatment direction.

I think it is more important to give the feeling of "they are being thorough" than the experience of a quick treatment.

That is why we do not view treatments in the same way. Banni operates with a slightly different structure.

It is a two-doctor collaborative system in which Dr. Mira Lee, a family medicine specialist,

and I, a plastic surgery specialist,

work together in our respective areas.

Why this matters is that the approach itself is different for areas that need a detailed look at the skin’s condition and regeneration mechanisms, such as skin texture, recovery, and skin boosters,

and areas such as filler and Botox that require consideration of facial structure, volume balance, and overall proportions.

Director Lee Mira 👉 Skin condition, skin regeneration, skin boosters, lifting energy devices Director Ban Ho-kyung 👉 Facial structure, volume balance, filler · Botox design

Rather than a structure where one person handles everything quickly,

a structure where each person takes a deep look in the area they know best is ultimately safer and more accurate.

Of course, it is not a matter of saying skin treatments are always by Director Lee Mira!!!🫸🫸 Filler · Botox are always by Director Ban Ho-kyung!!!🫵🫵 That is not how it is split.

For example, if a patient wants lifting with Ulthera or Thermage, but volume loss or structural sagging is also observed,

the two directors judge together whether device-based lifting alone is enough or whether filler or Botox should be combined.

Conversely, if a patient needs filler but decreased skin elasticity or poor regenerative condition is also observed,

we may first recommend Shurink or a skin booster, or review whether combination treatment is appropriate.

More important than which director performs the procedure is the judgment behind the approach. Even if the attending director is decided, decisions are not made from only one perspective.

When choosing a Gangnam dermatology clinic or Gangnam plastic surgery clinic, checking whether it has this kind of collaborative system can be a surprisingly important criterion.

The reason I say

it is okay not to do it at all

is this

That is something I say quite often during consultations.

"For this area right now, I think it would be better not to do it."

"This can be decided after watching it a little longer."

If you came for a Gangnam filler or Gangnam Botox consultation and I do not recommend a procedure, that may feel strange. But I think that is actually the more correct direction.

Rather than recommending a procedure that is not needed, being honest about what this face truly needs right now. That is the standard we try to uphold in our consultations.

Some people come in for a consultation and leave comfortably saying, "I guess I do not need treatment today." That day is, for me, the day I gave the right kind of consultation.

Communication after the procedure is also important, I think.

At Banni, when discomfort or a concern arises after a procedure,

we have a system that can quickly provide feedback and respond,

and we also operate a communication channel through the website where you can directly send opinions or concerns 📮

You do not need to hesitate and wonder, "Can I even say this?"

We do not take any feedback lightly.

Rather, we believe that feedback leads to better treatment.

Receiving complaints after a procedure is not the difficult part;

the communication itself is the way we take responsibility.

Procedures need to remain satisfying for a long time.

Gangnam filler, Gangnam Botox, Gangnam dermatology recommendations.

In an era where a single search brings up hundreds of options.

I know it is not easy to decide where to go among so many choices.

This is what I think.

Rather than getting it cheaply and often, even if it is only once, it should be suited to my face and safe.

And a place where, even after the procedure is over, you can comfortably say if something feels off. That is the standard for a choice that can remain satisfying for a long time 👍

When you come in for a consultation,

I want you to feel, "This is a place that looks at things carefully"

and "This is a place that does not recommend unnecessary things."

Director Lee Mira and I are practicing medicine that way,

and we will continue to provide honest care 😎

This is why you end up falling for it — this was Ban Ho-kyung.
