I am from North America, I’m in my mid-forties, and I came across Retmus clinic while reading about revisional surgeries on Reddit and Purseforum. I was very intrigued, so I messaged to inquire, and the communication with the clinic was good from the beginning, I was communicating with the translator in English. Prior to coming to SK, Seoul I knew that I wanted to see Dr. Chung at Retmus Plastic Surgery. I was looking for revision tip plasty and chin implant removal and maybe genioplasty, in which case he could do all, I was also interested in the scarless lip lift as well. I had my blood work done back home prior to coming. My consultation was on May 26, 2026, and I needed a CT scan so Dr Chung could see my facial anatomy and give his recommendations. I had previous facial asymmetry and Dr. Chung explained (I also knew) that these procedures would not fix my soft tissue facial asymmetry. Dr. Chung explained my situation well and after the consultation I felt confident with Dr. Chung, the clinic staff, and I decided to go forward. We were all in agreement on the surgery plan; revision tip plasty w/lip lift, chin implant removal w/genioplasty. My impression of Dr. Chung is that he is very smart, confident, skillful, talented, honest, and he means well. I completely put my trust in his experience and skills. My surgery was the next day; I was to be at the office for 9:00am and in surgery by 11:00am. The staff went through and explained in detail the surgeries to be performed, the risks, potential complications, and I was informed about my medications. I recommend taking pictures, make notes of the important recommendations for after care. After the surgery, I was not nauseous at all, but my mouth was very dry, I had to wait before I could have water, I was also given a bit of oxygen and was to keep awake to let the gasses out. I was able to go to the washroom when needed, the nurse assisted with the walking to. Dr. Chung came into see me after the surgery, he said surgery went well, and he said my chin implant had capsular contracture so when removing he removed as much of the scar tissue that he could, I was relieved and glad to have it out. The Dr, the staff, and nurses were kind and caring, and I felt safe and in good hands. The staff kindly helped and assisted in getting me a taxi back to my stay. The first 1-3 days were the toughest, with some pain swelling, limited movement, strict eating, I only needed 1 Tylenol on day 2 and 1 on day 3, after that it was manageable. I came into the clinic on day 2 for a checkup and my nose stitches were removed at the clinic visit on day 6. I’m currently 1 week out, and my nose and tip are very swollen and numb. My lip lift area is still numb, stiff, with swelling, hard to talk, laugh, eat, and I can’t close my mouth yet. My chin and lower cheeks area are still swollen as well from genioplasty/implant removal, which is to be expected. The stitches are still in my mouth and will be removed this coming week. Now I am patiently waiting for more healing and de-swelling. :)

I’ve had online consultations with a couple of doctors in Seoul and endless texts with other clinics what Retmus stood out the most was Dr Chung’s scarless technique and his harmony vision, also big shout to Jieun, whenever I ask a question, she replied very detailed informations and throughly, it just feels right and professional so i decided to go with them. When I got there I felt welcoming and the place itself just so calm and nice, everyone is super friendly and professional, thanks to my 2 lovely translators and another Jieun the consultant, Dr Chung is very kind, he listened to my concerns and gave me the best advice, I instantly trusted that I’ll be in a good hands. On the day of surgery, I was nervous but they have the friendliest nature so I felt pretty relaxed. After 2 1/2 hours I was out and didn’t feel any pain. I’m very happy with my result, I love how my eyes look and I found my nose cute! Its what I expected, probably beyond that! Thank you Dr Chung and your great team! Pics are Before-day 1-day 3-day 7
