“

Director Kim Dae-ho's medical philosophy can be summarized as "Not excessive, naturally." He believes that a patient's beauty already exists within them, and defines surgery as a process of restoring and revealing that inherent beauty as much as possible.

"These two words (not excessive, naturally) may seem boring, but they are the safest and most beautiful words."

— Director Kim Dae-ho

Major Procedures & Technical Features

While RnB Plastic Surgery treats breast surgery and anti-aging (lifting) alongside rhinoplasty, the most prominent field in the data is 'Rhinoplasty'.

Rhinoplasty

RnB Signature Rhinoplasty

This is the representative cosmetic rhinoplasty program of RnB Plastic Surgery.

  • Concept: Beyond simply raising the nose, the line is designed by considering the harmony of the entire face.
  • Materials: Only autologous cartilage (mainly septal cartilage) is used for the nose tip to implement natural movement and shape.
  • Precision Analysis: 3D-CT and laryngoscopy are utilized to precisely analyze internal structures before establishing a surgical plan.

RnB All-Fit Functional Rhinoplasty

This is a surgery that solves functional nasal problems (congestion, etc.) along with cosmetic improvement.

  • Target Conditions: Deviated Nasal Septum, Hypertrophic Rhinitis, Nasal Valve Stenosis, etc.
  • Features: Private insurance may be applicable for the cost of surgery aimed at functional improvement.
  • Technical Approach: Through endoscopic examination, structural deformities inside the nose are accurately identified.

One-Case Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision surgery is more difficult than the initial surgery and carries a higher risk of tissue damage. RnB proceeds with revision surgery with the goal that "There is no more surgery".

  • Cause Analysis: Thoroughly analyzes causes of failure such as inflammation, contracture, and dissatisfaction with shape.
  • Timing: Generally, the principle is to perform it after 6 months from the previous surgery when the tissues have stabilized.

Other Procedures

Breast Surgery

Performs breast augmentation using various implants such as Mentor Boost, Mentor Smooth, and Mentor Xtra.

Anti-aging

Satisfies the demand of middle-aged patients by providing thread lifting using FDA-approved threads and full-face anti-aging packages.

Reputation & Patient Sentiment Analysis

This is a comprehensive analysis of data from major plastic surgery communities such as Sungyesa and Gangnam Unni.

Positive Feedback

  • Professionalism and Kindness of Consultation: Praise for Director Kim Dae-ho's consultation style continues in numerous reviews. In particular, opinions such as "He shows CT photos himself and explains one by one" and "Unlike other clinics, he doesn't finish in 5-10 minutes but looks thoroughly" are dominant.
  • No Excessive Treatment: There are many evaluations that he does not recommend unnecessary surgery and gives realistic advice tailored to the patient's nose condition. "Honest advice" and "No pressure for reservation deposit" are key keywords.
  • Satisfaction with Surgical Results: For patients who underwent functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty simultaneously, satisfaction with functional aspects (breathing became easier) and cosmetic aspects (natural lines that are not excessive) appears high.
  • High Rating: Recorded a rating of 9.6 (560 evaluations) on the Gangnam Unni app, which belongs to the upper tier within the region.

Considerations and Neutral Opinions

  • Relative Lack of Reviews: Some patients reacted that "It is ambiguous because there are not many evaluations or reviews." This may be due to less marketing volume compared to large hospitals or the small accumulated number of patients due to the nature of the clinic limiting the number of surgeries per day.
  • Waiting Time: The fact that waiting times may occur due to meticulous consultations is paradoxically proof of high-quality consultation, but it can be a consideration for patients wanting a quick process.

Pricing Analysis (Approximate)

The approximate cost structure based on event price information from Gangnam Unni, etc., is as follows (subject to change).

  • RnB Signature Rhinoplasty: Approx. 1.65 million KRW
  • RnB One-Case Revision Rhinoplasty: Approx. 2.75 million KRW
  • RnB All-Fit Functional Nose: Approx. 550,000 KRW (Need to check if before/after insurance application)
  • Breast Surgery: 4.4 million KRW ~ 12.1 million KRW depending on implant type
