In the past, plastic surgery and procedures that were considered the exclusive domain of only a few interested people have recently become popular due to various demands, such as not only for external beauty, but also for restoration of self-esteem, anti-aging purposes to return to one's youth, and plastic surgery combined with functional improvement. However, as plastic surgery becomes more accessible, concerns about choice, excessive treatment, and side effects can also arise. In addition, interest in plastic surgery is growing, but the current reality is that it is difficult to judge easily in the flood of information. Overly negative stories and, conversely, overly optimistic fantasies, can all become obstacles to making sound decisions. In relation to this, People Today interviewed Park Hyungjoon, Chief Medical Director of JAYJUN Plastic Surgery, who is well-regarded for his honest patient consultations and surgeries.Safe beauty tailored to each individual, 1:1 responsible treatment and surgery by a specialist
JAYJUN Plastic Surgery is implementing a patient-centered treatment philosophy with its core values being ‘promise’ with patients, ‘trust’ through safe diagnosis, and ‘research’ to provide the best medical care. Specialists in each field with diverse surgical experience and know-how communicate with patients through systematic consultation, perform surgeries tailored to the patient's needs, and then provide follow-up care, always striving to minimize side effects. In particular, high-quality medical equipment and safety systems, as well as anesthesiology specialists are stationed to ensure patient safety and take responsibility for pre- and post-operative recovery, adding to trust in safe medical services.
JAYJUN Plastic Surgery has a particularly high reputation for male plastic surgery in general. Chief Medical Director Park said, “As the number of successful male plastic surgery cases accumulated in the early days of the practice, the number of male visitors increased, and as rumors spread that there were many men in the lobby, more male patients came to visit with a comfortable mind without any resistance.” As the number of male patients increases, data on designs and surgeries that take into account male characteristics accumulate, become more systematic, and continue to accumulate, leading to better results. However, since basic plastic surgery methods do not simply vary depending on gender, it can be said that it is ultimately the result of so-called ‘word of mouth’ about the results and post-operative patient care caused by specialists with many years of experience and excellent basic skills who have been working for a long time. This is why JAYJUN Plastic Surgery has received good reviews from people of all ages.
"The basic surgical method for male plastic surgery is not much different from female plastic surgery, but each person's needs are different, so we approach it with a differentiated solution. For example, I can tell you that while female patients want a large and flashy double eyelid line, many male patients want their double eyelids to be almost invisible and only their eyes to be clearer. In addition, women and men have quite different needs for changes in the overall plastic surgery, such as nose and contour. I think it is important to properly identify and perform the appropriate surgery. In the past, many people visited the clinic thinking about eye, nose, and contouring surgery, but in recent years, the number of people who want anti-aging surgery such as lifting has continued to increase. In the past, most of those considering plastic surgery were young women, but now, as the gender ratio and age range of patients considering plastic surgery have changed, I feel that the resistance to plastic surgery and the barriers to plastic surgery have definitely eased.”
The reason for the increase in the number of patients seeking anti-aging treatment is partly the desire to maintain youth for a long time as life expectancy increases, but another important factor is that Generation X, who were young adults 20-30 years ago, have now reached middle age, and since they had already experienced plastic surgery such as double eyelid surgery in their 20s and 30s, they tend to show interest in other plastic surgeries such as anti-aging without much resistance. Therefore, the demand for these anti-aging procedures and surgeries is expected to continue to increase, said Director Park Hyungjoon.
"Just as the industry serving older adults is developing, anti-aging procedures and plastic surgery continue to develop. The most sought-after field is surgery for aging around the eyes. More middle-aged and older patients are seeking surgery to improve their field of vision and relieve the discomfort of drooping eyelids through upper eyelid surgery, sub-brow lifts, or forehead lifts. Consultations for under-eye fat repositioning or lower eyelid surgery to improve bulging fat pockets and sagging under the eyes have also increased significantly compared with the past."
“Cosmetic surgery is a medical procedure”
Lastly, the reporter asked what advice he would give the many students who would visit plastic surgery clinics during the college entrance examination season.
“Views of beauty are likely to change over time, and in the teenage years they often change within one or two years. A first operation therefore requires careful thought, especially for teenagers. Never decide impulsively to have surgery just because people around you do. To help teenage patients understand this, I always ask whether the celebrity they liked in middle school is the same one they like now. Eight or nine out of ten nod and say they are different. That is how often the appearance one likes can change in the teenage years. Patients should therefore think carefully once more about the surgery they want. If they still want plastic surgery, I usually recommend operations involving as little manipulation as possible, because people sometimes regret undergoing many types of invasive surgery at once after only a short time. For first-time patients, especially students, I therefore tend to recommend simple operations and avoid recommending multiple types of surgery. It is better to consider an appropriate next operation only after fully adjusting to and feeling satisfied with the operated face. Changing many things at once can lead to regret later. This is the message I want to emphasize again to those considering plastic surgery for the first time.”
To this end, Chief Medical Director Park works with the plastic surgery and dermatology specialists at JAYJUN Plastic Surgery to create content on plastic surgery and beauty and upload it to the YouTube channel ‘JAYJUN Plastic Surgery’, striving to establish a safe plastic surgery culture based on sound standards of beauty. He also regards plastic surgery as one means of addressing appearance-related insecurities and makes it a firm rule to recommend only the minimum necessary surgery. This deep bond of trust encourages patients to continue trusting and visiting JAYJUN Plastic Surgery over the years and to recommend it to those around them.
“Plastic surgery is now widespread and well known, and some people decide on consultations and surgery as casually as shopping. But an operation performed by a doctor must never be taken lightly. Even when its purpose is cosmetic, surgery is a medical intervention involving the administration of drugs into the body, wounds, and recovery. Doctors must understand patients’ distress and earnest wishes and plan surgery accordingly, while patients must give their operation sufficient thought and make careful decisions. JAYJUN Plastic Surgery will therefore keep striving, without losing its original commitment, to fully empathize with patients and be a hospital they can trust for safe and appropriate surgery.”
