Kim Kook Hyun

Experience & approach

Dr. Kim Kook Hyun’s nasal practice includes 3D-customized rhinoplasty, bridge augmentation for Asian noses, and revision rhinoplasty. His wider surgical work also encompasses breast procedures and jaw and cheekbone contouring; these should be distinguished from his nose-specific experience when discussing your operation.

His earlier positions include chief of the plastic surgery department at Gyeonggi Provincial Hospital and adjunct professor at Soonchunhyang University Hospital. His professional affiliations span Korean rhinoplasty research, aesthetic surgery, and international plastic surgery organizations.

Rhinoplasty at Human Plastic Surgery

Human in Seocho offers primary, revision and functional rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim Kook Hyun, including autologous-tissue options.

Identify the main concern

The clinic addresses low, bulbous, crooked, hooked and long noses. Ask which structural issue drives your result rather than relying only on the shape label.

Combine goals clearly

If you also have breathing symptoms, ask for separate explanations of the aesthetic changes and functional treatment in the proposed plan.

Discuss your own anatomy and goals

Which structural issue is most important in my nasal assessment?
Would you recommend autologous tissue or an implant in my case?
How do you evaluate breathing concerns alongside aesthetic revision goals?

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.
