주요 시술 & 기법

Rhinoplasty

This is Director Uhm Jae-ho's main field, dealing with not only primary surgeries but also many high-difficulty revision cases.

  • Use of Autologous Rib Cartilage: In cases of contracted noses or lack of septal cartilage due to multiple revisions, autologous rib cartilage is used to simultaneously seek structural stability and aesthetic improvement.
  • Straight-Semicurve (Jikban) Line: Popular among patients who prefer the 'Jikban' line, which combines the advantages of straight and semi-curved lines, emphasizing bulbous nose correction from the front and sophistication in the side profile.
  • Male Rhinoplasty: Unlike female rhinoplasty, this emphasizes a straight and powerful line and often parallels functional improvements (such as rhinitis).

Double Chin Muscle Tying

This is The Door's signature procedure to improve double chins that are not resolved by liposuction alone.

  • Technical Principle: Going beyond simply suctioning fat under the chin, it fundamentally improves the elasticity of the jawline by gathering and tying the sagging platysma muscle in the center.
  • Differentiation: Unlike other hospitals that rely on liposuction or thread lifting, this directly manipulates the muscle layer to prevent recurrence and create a distinct angle between the chin and neck.
  • Combined Procedures: To maximize effects, a 'Tie, Remove, Pull' protocol combining facial liposuction or thread lifting is sometimes applied.

Eye Surgery and Others

  • Natural Adhesion Eyelid Surgery: A surgical method that minimizes incisions to reduce scarring and create natural lines.
  • Full-Face Fat Grafting: Autologous fat is transplanted into areas of the face lacking volume to provide a three-dimensional effect.

평판 분석

Quantitative Metrics

  • Gangnam Unni: Rating 9.8/10.0 (Over 4,700 reviews).
  • Sungyesa: Rating 3.9/5.0 (Considering the nature of plastic surgery communities, high 3s is considered decent).
  • Babitalk: Numerous events and reviews are actively shared, and the number of consultation reservations is high.

Positive Opinions

  • Cost-effectiveness: Opinions exist that event prices are reasonable and there is little pressure for additional costs.

Negative Opinions & Concerns

  • Complaints of Side Effects: In the side effect boards of some communities (Sungyesa, Babitalk), posts regarding nose bridge deviation, nose tip drooping, or dissatisfaction with shape after nose surgery are intermittently confirmed.
  • Waiting Time: As a popular hospital, there may be points regarding long waiting times for consultation and surgery.

Controversies & Risks

  • Verification of Rumors Regarding Medical Accidents: While search results show articles like 'Medical accident at famous Gangnam plastic surgery clinic', it is unclear whether these articles specifically refer to The Door Plastic Surgery. For instance, the 2011 judgment regarding 'M' Plastic Surgery may not align with Director Uhm's opening timeline. However, since question posts regarding "The Door side effects" exist within communities, consumers need individual consultation and verification.
  • Response to Ghost Surgery Concerns: Regarding the issue of substitute surgery across the plastic surgery industry in the past, Director Uhm Jae-ho strongly appeals through YouTube, etc., that he "performs everything from consultation to surgery and treatment directly," focusing on restoring trust.

Recommended for:

  • Patients desiring bulbous nose correction or a nose line that is flashy yet harmonious.
  • Patients with double chin concerns that are not resolved by simple liposuction.
  • Patients who value direct surgery by the chief director and meticulous consultation.

Cautions:

  • All plastic surgeries carry risks of side effects (inflammation, asymmetry, dissatisfaction with shape, etc.), so one should refer to various reviews in communities but not rely on them blindly, and judge through direct consultation.
  • For revision surgeries, costs and recovery periods may increase, so sufficient prior discussion with the medical staff is necessary.

This report was written based on available data as of the current time (reflecting search results as of 2025), and diagnoses and costs may vary depending on the medical staff's opinion during actual hospital visits.
