APS KOREA 2026 Facial Contouring & Facelift Presentations, 345 Plastic Surgery's Medical Philosophy

APS KOREA 2026, A Venue for Academic Exchange Among Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons

The Chief Directors of 345 Plastic Surgery attended APS KOREA 2026 (Spring Meeting of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), a venue for sharing the latest trends and medical insights in the field of plastic surgery. This conference goes beyond simply acquiring knowledge; it is an important opportunity for medical professionals to organize their accumulated clinical experience, share sophisticated surgical standards with fellow specialists, and explore developmental directions that can be applied in actual clinical practice.

At this conference, 345 Plastic Surgery delivered presentations in two core areas: facial contouring and facelifts (lifting), demonstrating our continuous research achievements aimed at providing better results for our patients.

Chief Director Dr. Park Jong-lim's Cheekbone Repositioning: Structural Stability is Key

Chief Director Dr. Park Jong-lim, an authority in the field of Facial Contouring, gave a presentation on the topic of 'Cheekbone Repositioning Surgery'. Zygoma reduction surgery does not stop at simply reducing the size of the bone; the three-dimensional volume of the face and postoperative stability are determined by where the bone is moved and how it is fixated.

Based on a deep understanding of anatomical structures, Dr. Park shared his clinical know-how for creating natural facial lines through effective movement while minimizing unnecessary bone resection. This systematic approach, which prevents potential postoperative sagging and aids in the smooth union of the bones, garnered significant attention.

Chief Director Dr. Han Kyu-nam's Facelift: Lifting Through a Layer-by-Layer Understanding of Tissues

Following this, Chief Director Dr. Han Kyu-nam continued with a presentation on Facelift surgery. A facelift is a highly difficult surgery that repositions sagging skin and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer caused by aging. Drawing on various clinical cases, Dr. Han presented the judgment criteria and technical solutions encountered during the surgical process.

He emphasized a Lifting approach that considers not only pulling the outer surface of the skin but also the deep tissues and structures beneath it. This method contributes to extending the maintenance period and lowering the side effect of unnatural facial expressions after surgery. By sharing customized surgical standards tailored to each patient's degree of aging, he received a highly positive response from the medical professionals in attendance.

Trustworthy Results: 345 Plastic Surgery's Safety System

Just as important as academic research is the safety of the environment where the actual surgery takes place. 345 Plastic Surgery operates a university hospital-level safety system to ensure that these highly advanced surgical methods can be safely implemented.

• Resident Board-Certified Anesthesiologists: We monitor the patient's condition in real-time throughout the entire surgical process.
• Doctor Call System: We systematically manage the patient through the postoperative recovery process.
• 24-Hour CCTV Operation: We ensure transparency throughout the entire surgical process, eliminating any concerns about ghost surgeries.
• Advanced Safety Equipment: We are fully equipped with university hospital-level equipment to prepare for any emergency situations.

The results of plastic surgery are not a matter of momentary luck, but are created through the accumulation of sophisticated surgical skills and strict safety standards. 345 Plastic Surgery will continue to strive to provide better recovery and satisfying transformations through relentless research and academic activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What topics did 345 Plastic Surgery present at APS KOREA 2026?

Yes, we presented on two core areas: facial contouring and rhytidectomy (facelift). Dr. Park Jong-rim shared his clinical know-how on zygoma repositioning surgery, and Dr. Han Kyu-nam discussed facelift techniques through a layered understanding of tissues.

What is the most important aspect of zygoma repositioning surgery?

The most important aspects are the bone's repositioning location and fixation method. Beyond simply reducing bone size, understanding the anatomical structure and minimizing unnecessary resection to effectively reposition the bone can prevent post-operative sagging and promote smooth bone fusion.

How can side effects be reduced during facelift surgery?

To reduce side effects, deep tissues and structures beneath the skin must be considered together during lifting. By applying an approach that repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer instead of just pulling the outer skin, the duration of the effect can be extended, and side effects like an unnatural expression can be reduced.

How is 345 Plastic Surgery's surgical safety system structured?

We operate a thorough university hospital-level safety system. An anesthesiologist is always present for real-time monitoring, and we have 24-hour CCTV operation, a doctor call system, and advanced safety equipment for emergency situations.

Do I need to worry about ghost surgery?

No, you can rest assured. 345 Plastic Surgery operates 24-hour CCTV in the operating room to ensure transparency throughout the surgical process, thereby fundamentally preventing concerns about ghost surgery.
