운영 철학
The hospital's biggest operational philosophies are 'Safety' and 'Honesty'. As the directors who came from large hospitals (Banobagi, Dream Plastic Surgery) opened their own practice, they focus on maintaining the advantages of the systematic systems of large hospitals while complementing the disadvantages of factory-style surgeries where concentration on individual patients may decrease.
In particular, they are building patient trust by actively promoting a real-name surgery system and CCTV installation for transparent treatment without shadow doctors (ghost surgery).
안전 시스템
- CCTV: Equipped with a system where CCTV is installed in the operating room to prevent ghost surgery and secure evidence in case of medical accidents.
- Anesthesia System: The presence of a resident anesthesiologist was not clearly confirmed in search results, but it emphasizes that a plastic surgery specialist performs the surgery directly and is equipped with a monitoring system.
주요 시술 분야
눈 성형
Dr. Noh Yong-jun's eye surgery has strengths in 'Natural Adhesion' and 'Revision Surgery'.
- Natural Adhesion Method: A surgical method that minimizes artificial feeling and creates natural lines, characterized by minimal scarring and fast recovery.
- Middle-aged Eye Surgery (Upper/Lower Blepharoplasty): Corrects sagging eyelids to pursue both aesthetic improvement and functional improvement such as securing field of view. Emphasizes a "solution to look naturally younger without changing the impression."
- Male Eye Surgery: Unlike women, focuses on creating clear eyes without greasiness by making the double eyelid line thin or making an inner double eyelid.
고난도 눈 재수술: Two-line Picking
Epic Plastic Surgery puts forward eye revision surgery using 'Two-line Picking' as a major competitive edge.
Technique Overview: Two-line picking is a revision surgery technique to lower existing high and thick double eyelids (aka sausage eyes). It is a high-difficulty technique that preserves the skin while untying existing adhesions and forming a new line when existing scars cannot be cut out due to a lack of skin allowance.
Application: Applied to patients who lack eyelid skin due to previous surgical failures or for whom revision surgery via general incision methods is difficult due to severe scarring. Dr. Noh provides specialized solutions for solving "sausage eyes" through this technique.
기타 시술
- Nose Surgery (Director Hong Jin-myung): Co-representative Director Hong Jin-myung focuses on closed rhinoplasty and autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty. He prefers the closed method where scars are not visible on the outside and emphasizes design considering the harmony of the entire face.
- Breast and Body Contouring: Dr. Noh Yong-jun also performs body contouring surgeries such as breast augmentation and liposuction.
병원 평판 분석
긍정적 평가 (Pros)
- Natural Style: According to patient reviews, Epic Plastic Surgery tends to pursue natural changes that fit one's face rather than excessively flashy lines. The dominant evaluation is that it is "a place that pursues naturalness rather than a 'Jaryeohan' (natural and flashy) feeling."
- Safety and Trust: The installation of CCTV in the operating room and the fact that the medical staff are SNU alumni give great trust to patients. In particular, the operation of a real-name system acts as a major advantage in the plastic surgery market where anxiety about shadow doctors is high.
- Meticulous Counseling: There are many reviews that Dr. Noh Yong-jun does not recommend unnecessary surgeries during counseling and honestly advises only on parts necessary for the patient. This matches the hospital's slogan of "Honest counseling without overtreatment."
- High Rating: It maintains a high rating of 9.5 (out of 10) with over 4,500 reviews on the aesthetic medical information platform 'Gangnam Unni'.
고려 사항 (Cons & Mixed Reviews)
- Staff Response: In some communities (MissyUSA, etc.), there are reviews stating that apart from the director's skills, the response of the counseling manager or desk staff was businesslike or unkind. This seems to be due to complaints arising during waiting times or cost consultation processes.
- Waiting Time: It is mentioned that waiting times may occur even after making a reservation due to the nature of a popular hospital.
- Style Preference: For patients who prefer an extremely flashy and noticeable style, the hospital's 'naturalism' philosophy may not be suitable.
