Major Medical Fields and Procedure Characteristics

Director Moon's practice is mainly focused on Eye Surgery and Periorbital Rejuvenation. Her procedure style is analyzed as pursuing both 'naturalness without excess' and 'functional improvement' simultaneously.

1. Eye Surgery (Blepharoplasty & Canthoplasty)

Natural Adhesion Double Eyelid

A method of adhering skin and muscle through microscopic holes without incision, resulting in minimal scarring and fast recovery. Director Moon honestly diagnoses whether trendy designs are possible.

Ptosis Correction

Corrects ptosis (weak eye-opening muscles) to increase pupil exposure. Both non-incisional and incisional methods are performed, including a program for male patients.

Canthoplasty (Slit Surgery)

Expands the horizontal length of the eyes (epicanthoplasty, lateral, lower). Director Moon takes a conservative approach to minimize side effects from excessive slitting.

Revision Eye Surgery

Corrects previous surgery failures like sausage eyes, unraveled double eyelids, or asymmetry. Focuses on analyzing the cause of failure to restore a natural line and minimize scarring.

2. Periorbital Rejuvenation

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

A surgery that improves dark circles by repositioning protruding fat under the eyes and filling in sunken areas. It strengthens the orbital septum to prevent recurrence. Patients report minimal bruising and fast recovery.

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery (Anti-aging Eye Surgery)

Improves sagging eyelids and under-eye wrinkles caused by aging through upper and lower blepharoplasty and sub-brow lift. Aims to restore functional vision security and aesthetic youth simultaneously.

Reputation and Patient Review Analysis

Positive Evaluations (Pros)

  • Honest and Meticulous Consultation: Patients highly rate that Director Moon does not recommend unnecessary surgery. Reviews frequently mention "No excessive recommendations," "Gives honest advice," and "Tells me what can't be done."
  • Kindness and Psychological Stability: Dominant evaluation is that she listens to patients' stories during consultation and creates a comfortable atmosphere, with many reactions like "Sweet and kind" and "Trustworthy."
  • Natural Results: High satisfaction among patients who prefer natural lines that fit the harmony of the face rather than artificial glamour.
  • Delicacy of a Female Specialist: Opinions suggest that as a fellow woman, she understands patient needs well and captures aesthetic details effectively.

Points to Consider and Neutral Evaluations (Cons & Neutral)

  • Mixed Preferences for Flashy Styles: For patients wanting extremely flashy and high lines, Director Moon's 'naturalism' philosophy may feel conservative. One review mentioned, "I wanted a flashy style, but was recommended a natural line."
  • Waiting Time: It is also mentioned that waiting times may occur due to meticulous consultations.

Quantitative Indicators

Conclusion

As a result of comprehensive analysis, Dareum Plastic Surgery and Representative Director Moon Yoo-jin are evaluated as a highly reliable medical institution and medical staff that regard 'safety' and 'naturalness' as core values in the Gangnam plastic surgery market.

Director Moon is a plastic surgery specialist with over 15 years of clinical experience, recognized for honest consultations that exclude overtreatment and delicate surgical skills, especially in the field of eye surgery.
