What to explore at Hugo Plastic Surgery
Hugo offers rhinoplasty within a facial surgery practice with Dr. Seonghyeok Yang and Dr. HyungKyu Kim. Dr. HyungKyu Kim’s background includes Korea University medical education and residency and Doctoral coursework, not an explicitly awarded PhD. Use reference cases with a similar starting nose and desired change, rather than choosing cases solely by the patient’s nationality. Confirm which surgeon will assess and operate on your nose, and request that surgeon’s relevant nasal cases. A useful question to bring to your appointment is: “Would Dr. Yang or Dr. Kim perform my rhinoplasty?” Also ask: “Which bridge and tip changes would suit my existing facial structure?”
