SM Blog - Plastic Surgery Specialist — accurate information, from us to you

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of content is published on the blog?

The blog covers plastic surgery information, from what is useful to know before a visit through to aftercare. Posts are grouped by area such as nose, eyes, lifting, facial contour and skin procedures, alongside general guides. The articles are general information; what suits you personally is decided after an examination.

Who writes the blog posts?

The posts are written and reviewed by Dr. Lee Muyoung, a board-certified plastic surgeon. They are built around the questions we are asked most often in the clinic. The articles remain general information and do not replace an examination.

What does the “reviewed by a specialist” label mean?

The label appears only on posts that Dr. Lee Muyoung has actually reviewed. Posts still awaiting review do not carry it. Either way, the content of an article is general information.

Can I judge my own condition from a blog post?

Blog posts gather general information and cannot assess an individual condition on your behalf. Even with the same concern, the available options change with the state of your eyes or nose and any previous surgery. We explain what suits you after an examination.

Can I filter the blog to one topic?

Use the category buttons above the article list to show only the topic you want. The categories are nose, eyes, lifting, facial contour, skin and minor procedures, events, surgery guides, and general. Selecting “All” brings every post back into view.

I chose a category but it says there are no posts.

That means nothing has been published in that category yet. Choosing another category will show the posts that are available. If there is a topic you are looking for, let us know by phone or on KakaoTalk.

Can I request a topic for a future post?

Tell us by phone at +82-2-537-3707 or through our KakaoTalk channel and we will take it into account. We prioritise the questions we hear most often in the consulting room, so widely shared questions tend to be covered first. If your question is urgent, please contact us directly rather than waiting for an article.

How do I find newly published posts?

The list is ordered with the newest posts first, so recent articles appear on the first page. The page numbers at the bottom let you continue through older posts. If nothing has been published yet, a short notice appears instead of the list.

Can I have the procedure described in a post?

A method described in an article does not apply to everyone. What we recommend depends on your condition, and in some cases we suggest a different approach. After an examination, Dr. Lee Muyoung will explain what is possible in your case.

Does the blog tell me how much surgery costs?

Costs depend on your condition and the extent of surgery, so we do not quote figures in articles. Non-covered treatment fees are listed on a separate page, and the exact amount is given after an in-person examination. You are also welcome to ask by phone or on KakaoTalk.

Can I read the clinic's articles anywhere else?

Dr. Lee Muyoung's posts are also published on our Naver blog. We run an Instagram account and a YouTube channel as well. Links to each channel are listed at the bottom of the website.

Is an older post still accurate today?

Each article reflects the situation at the time it was written, and methods or materials may have changed since. The date of writing is shown with every post. Please confirm at your consultation which approach applies now.

Is the blog available in other languages?

The site is offered in Japanese, English and Chinese as well as Korean, and switching languages shows the articles published in that language. The number of posts can differ between languages. If you cannot find what you need, please contact us.

Does the example in a post apply to my case?

The situations described are typical examples seen in the clinic, and both results and recovery vary between individuals. Even an operation with the same name is carried out differently depending on your condition. An examination is the reliable way to know whether it applies to you.

How do I book a consultation after reading the blog?

Call +82-2-537-3707 or reach us through our KakaoTalk channel. Mention which article you read and we will continue from there.
