Medical Philosophy
Dr. Kang embodies the philosophy of "Be Youthful," which emphasizes restoring natural, youthful beauty rather than creating artificial changes. His approach is built on several key principles:
**Individualized Treatment:** Dr. Kang believes that effective plastic surgery begins with thorough anatomical analysis. He rejects one-size-fits-all approaches, instead providing personalized surgical designs tailored to each patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
**Ethnicity-Specific Aesthetics:** Recognizing that beauty standards and facial characteristics vary across ethnicities, Dr. Kang applies ethnicity-specific aesthetic principles. For example, he notes that "Korean faces favor soft curves while Chinese faces favor defined lines," and adjusts his surgical approach accordingly.
**Safety First:** With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Kang prioritizes patient safety above all else. His clinic maintains hospital-level safety standards with on-site anesthesiologists and comprehensive monitoring systems.
**Honest Communication:** Dr. Kang is known for frank, honest consultations where he discusses both possibilities and limitations based on each patient's anatomy, avoiding over-promising and ensuring realistic expectations.
