What to explore at Merry Plastic Surgery Clinic
Merry offers first-time rhinoplasty and revision care for contracted noses, considering nasal appearance and function in the consultation. Dr. Sungtaek Hong’s background includes Medical degree and plastic surgery graduate study at Korea University and Plastic surgery specialist training at Korea University Medical Center. For a contracted nose, ask how the surgeon assesses the existing tissues before deciding on the extent and timing of correction. Discuss whether the proposed treatment is a single operation or staged care, and how that affects the visits you must plan in Korea. A useful question to bring to your appointment is: “How would you assess contraction and tissue condition before revision?”
