What to explore at Sugar Plastic Surgery
Sugar is Dr. Jin-Hyung Kim’s eye-and-nose surgery practice, offering implant-free rhinoplasty and silicone implant options. Dr. Jin-Hyung Kim’s background includes Plastic surgery board certification and Rhinoplasty. Ask what tissue would create bridge height and tip support in your proposed implant-free operation. Discuss why silicone or an implant-free approach is being recommended for your anatomy and preferred profile. A useful question to bring to your appointment is: “What material supplies bridge height and tip support in the implant-free option?” Also ask: “What are the trade-offs of silicone for my particular nose?” Bring references that illustrate both the nasal features you want and those you wish to retain.
