Similar symptoms, different causes
Chamin Plastic Surgery is on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Plastic surgery, dermatology, anesthesiology and ENT work together, covering pre-operative assessment, surgery and post-operative care.
Surgeon-led care
Consultation, surgery, treatment and recovery are handled by the operating surgeon — never passed to someone else.
Precision analysis
3D-CT and endoscopy assess the nasal bones, cartilage and internal structure, and the surgical plan follows from that.
Honest communication
Individual surgery after thorough discussion — including what this operation cannot achieve.
Aftercare system
Results depend on management and recovery, so the post-operative phase is part of the treatment process.
The two characters in Chamin
“瑳” (cha) means clear and clean; “旼” (min) means harmony. In Korean it sounds close to the English “charm-ing”. Chamin understands making someone look better as returning them to a state of clarity and harmony — not taking one feature to an extreme.
Plastic surgery is not “art”, it is “medicine”
In the pursuit of beauty, more doctors have come to call themselves artists. An artist can create by purely personal taste, keep what they like and discard the rest; a doctor must never treat a human body with that mindset. Working on the body demands far more precision and care, and must be done right the first time through thorough communication and agreement.
A clinic that keeps its principles
What should be done, we simply do. The director personally handles consultation, surgery and treatment from start to finish; the operating rooms are fitted with CCTV to keep trust with patients; and post-operative care continues until treatment is complete.
I want to be a doctor who puts all of my knowledge, experience and passion into each patient — one who can truly “treat”.
See inside before operating
Congestion, deviation and dissatisfaction with shape can have completely different structural causes. Chamin completes imaging and endoscopy at the consultation stage, rather than judging from photographs.
3D-CT
Analyzes septal deviation, cartilage and bone condition, nasal cavity volume and the turbinates. Initial consultation and CT fee: KRW 30,000, not deducted from the surgery fee.
Nasal endoscopy
Direct view of the nasal mucosa, inflammation, septal cartilage and turbinate hypertrophy.
Revision surgery usually takes longer
Complex revisions and reconstructions take longer and demand more of anesthesia management than primary surgery, so safety infrastructure is not optional.
Sterile positive-pressure OR
High-performance HEPA filtration in the operating rooms blocks 99.9% of external viruses and dust.
Emergency system
Dantrolene, uninterruptible power supply and defibrillator on standby all year.
Anesthesiologist on site
A board-certified anesthesiologist is present before, during and after surgery.
Sterilization system
Ultrasonic cleaning and EO gas sterilization, with full hygiene management of surgical instruments.
The clinic
Floors 4, 5 and 6 house consultation, treatment and surgery.
Aesthetic and functional treatment in one operation
An in-house ENT team allows congestion, septal deviation and airway problems to be treated during rhinoplasty or revision, avoiding a second operation for functional issues.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
Diagnosis and treatment of septal deviation, rhinitis and congestion. Operating together with plastic surgery so shape and function are handled at once.
Dermatology
Injectables and skin treatments, including skin preparation before surgery and care during recovery.
