Announcer: During the summer and holiday
seasons, it is an exceptionally popular time for people to look into plastic
surgery.
Announcer: Yes, that’s right! These days, plastic surgery is
assimilating to become more and more a norm in society. But this is a topic that
also shouldn’t be taken upon lightly. Today, Director Park Sang-Hoon will share
some experiences he has dealt with regarding plastic
surgery.
Announcer: Hello, Dr. Park!
Director: I am Park
Sang-Hoon and it is a great pleasure today to be here!
Announcer:
During the holidays, are there any specific surgeries that are more popular than
others?
Director: Generally, double eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty
are usually the most popular during this time. However, due to the fact that
facial bone surgery recovery time is quite long, oftentimes many people undergo
this surgery as well.
Furthermore, if one impulsively decides to have
any sort of surgery, it is crucial to carefully think it out thoroughly. The
aesthetics of beauty vary from person to person, one can perceive beauty as
different from others. With this, it is important to always be careful because
revisional surgery may be needed if the results don’t come to par with
expectations.
Announcer: I see. I guess there must be a lot of
impulsive eyelid and rhinoplasty surgeries then!
Director: In one
case, a man in his mid 20s, was in search of a job. Despite having a tall nose
bridge, it was bent and angeled unattractively. Because of this, he experienced
a lot of stress as well as feeling less confident in himself.

My friends would always say harsh things like, “I
could probably even fit coins in that nose!” they would always joke around
cruely like that. Back then it was just joking, but these days it’s
more…
After being discharged from the military, I am older now, and
now is the time to start looking for a job…
Lately, even men get
plastic surgery too, right?
Director: That’s correct. Even men desire
a physically likable impression. Depending on the size, shape, and build of the
nose, surgical methods can vary accordingly from person to
person.
Because the surgery is so complex, it is excruciatingly
important for the patient to find a doctor who specializes in this sort of
operation. The doctor should be experienced and qualified. Failing to find the
right doctor could lead to surgical errors and higher risks of side effects. An
inexperienced doctor (non-plastic surgery specialist) also raises the chance of
revision surgery for the patient, as well.
Announcer: Ahh~ Then what
are the possible side effects that can occur?
Director: The implant
could possibly bend or shift. The tip of the nose could become discolored a bit
if there is inflammation.
Announcer: Nowadays, it seems that the
double-jaw surgery is quite famous. Could you explain to us what sort of surgery
this may be?
Director: The double-jaw surgery is a surgery that shift
the upper and lower jaw to create a more harmonically balanced look.
This is
performed to fix severe deformation of the jaw and chin along with
malocclusion.
These days, an increasing number of people come for this more
and more populary surgery because they want to surgically fix their long face or
facial assymmetry.
Announcer: So is facial contouring surgery and
double-jaw surgery different?
Director: Yes, quite different,
actually. Facial contouring is shaving of the bone to create the desired look,
while double-jaw surgery is requires actual bone-cutting, Osteotomy. The
recovery time for double-jaw surgery is more extensive, as well. Think of it as,
unlike facial contouring, it is a more intricate and complex surgery with
dramatic results.
Announcer: Nowadays many celebrities seem to be
undergoing double-jaw surgery and the results are quite dramatic! It makes
people wonder, is it that easy to just go through with this
surgery?
Director: Double-jaw surgery is a complex surgery that
requires a long recovery time. In addition, because the bone continues to grow,
the age restriction for this sort of surgery is 18 and
older.
Announcer: It seems there are a lot of drawbacks and dangers
to this surgery.
Director: Because it is such a complex surgery, you
need a skilled and qualified doctor, like myself, to make sure everything is
carefully planned out and checked.
In one case, I one had a patient who
came to the hospital with facial asymmetry. Because of this asymmetry, he
developed a habit of chewing food only on one side. With this, the lower jaw
became bigger and began to protrude outward

Since my teeth are not aligned evenly, even doing something as simple as
eating noodles becomes an overwhelmingly difficult task.
Director: In
this situation, we could perform the double-jaw surgery, however, since the
facial asymmetry is not that severe in this case, through orthodontic treatment
alone, you will see a significant result.
Because the double-jaw surgery is
such a big and complex surgery, it should only be performed when the case of
deformity is severe.
Announcer: So what do you think causes such a
severe deformity anyway?
Director: Majority of the times it is genetics,
10%. Both other times, it could be from bad habits generally as an adolescent.
This can include petty things such as chin lifts, bad sleeping habits, or even
physical trauma.
Years of chewing only on one side may also lead to bone
deformation as well.
Announcer: If I were to diagnose the patient
with facial asymmetry, what sort of surgical operation do you think I would
recommend?
Director: It is impossible for a person to have a
perfectly symmetrical face. Simply put, when one laughts, the crows of from your
eyes are not asymmetrical, but similar and balanced enough. Just like how the
face should be, not perfectly asymmetrical, but evenly
balanced.
Announcer: Then what sort of safety precautions are needed
to take when it comes to the double-jaw surgery?
Director: Well,
double-jaw surgery, for one, requires general anesthesia. Since it is also a
surgery where nerves and blood vessels are manipulated in the face, it is
extremely important that you see a specialist who has an experienced and
skilled.
In addition, not only is it a plastic surgery procedure, but it
is also dental. Qualified doctors, anesthesioly specialists need to be skilled
and able to respond quickly in case of an emergency situation in this
interdisciplinary surgery.
Announcer: So, it is important to find a
skilled and qualified hospital to preform this complex surgery,
correct?
Director: Yes, that’s correct!
Announcer: We
appreciate you being here with us today. It was a pleasure having
you!
