Dr. Moon is renowned for complex eyelid revision, particularly skilled in treating eyelid ectropion, scar adhesion, and asymmetrical double‑eyelid folds caused by excessive tissue removal. He uses 3D tomography for preoperative tissue defect assessment and employs microsurgical techniques + tissue regeneration during surgery to preserve healthy tissue. In comprehensive anti‑aging (rejuvenation), he has established a “minimally invasive adjustment + natural aesthetics” system, combining PDO thread lifting with nanofat grafting for layered anti‑aging. He has performed over 3,000 eyelid revision surgeries.
Dr. Jung specialises in non‑surgical facial rejuvenation, with extensive experience in hyaluronic acid fillers, botulinum toxin injections, and laser skin texture improvement. His strength lies in precision techniques – through accurate injection depth and dosage control, he achieves natural filling and lifting effects with a short downtime, making him ideal for those seeking minimally invasive facial contouring.
Dr. Bae has deep experience in complex nasal revision, adept at treating difficult cases such as bulbous nose tips, deviated nasal bridges, and implant translucency. He is also proficient in facial rejuvenation and body contouring. Having previously served as director at hospitals in Beijing and Shenzhen, China, he has a deep understanding of Asian (especially Chinese) aesthetic preferences and skeletal characteristics. This background gives him an advantage in communicating with Southeast Asian Chinese‑speaking patients.

Choose Dr. Moon: If you need eyelid revision (especially complex revision after multiple failed surgeries), or wish to address both eyelid issues and facial aging simultaneously, Dr. Moon’s surgical experience and multidisciplinary joint treatment system are significant advantages.
Choose Dr. Jung: If you prefer non‑surgical anti‑aging, wish to achieve facial lifting and skin improvement through injections or lasers, and have high requirements for a short recovery period, Dr. Jung’s precision techniques are worth considering.
Choose Dr. Bae: If you need nasal revision or comprehensive facial rejuvenation, and prefer a doctor with a deep understanding of Chinese aesthetic preferences, Dr. Bae’s cross‑cultural background and ASPS International Membership provide an added layer of assurance.
All three directors graduated from Korea’s top medical schools, with extensive clinical experience and well‑defined areas of focus. Dr. Moon has the deepest technical foundation in eyelid revision and anti‑aging; Dr. Jung stands out in non‑surgical minimally invasive treatments; and Dr. Bae has a distinct advantage in nasal revision and cross‑cultural aesthetic communication. We recommend that you initially shortlist 1‑2 directors for consultation based on your core needs (surgical vs. non‑surgical, eye vs. nose vs. anti‑aging) and budget, and then make your final decision after in‑person consultations.
