Experience & approach
Dr. HyungKyu Kim completed medical education and plastic surgery residency at Korea University, as well as doctoral coursework.

Patients with both a shape concern and breathing symptoms can discuss how these goals would be assessed together.
Training & professional background
- Korea University medical education and residency

- Functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty at Hugo Plastic Surgery
Hugo offers rhinoplasty within a facial surgery practice with Dr. Seonghyeok Yang and Dr. HyungKyu Kim.
Anatomy before labels
Use reference cases with a similar starting nose and desired change, rather than choosing cases solely by the patient’s nationality.
Identify the surgeon
Confirm which surgeon will assess and operate on your nose, and request that surgeon’s relevant nasal cases.
Discuss your own anatomy and goals
- Would Dr. Yang or Dr. Kim perform my rhinoplasty?
- Which bridge and tip changes would suit my existing facial structure?
- Can I see nasal cases with similar anatomy rather than only the same nationality?
Before you decide
Ask to meet the surgeon who will operate, review cases with similar anatomy and confirm the proposed changes in writing. Discuss both appearance and breathing, including what the procedure cannot achieve for your nose.
