Chamin Journal
About the director, about this clinic, and how we think about an operation. Not advertising — what we do and why.
Local Joint Debugging: Final Appointment Instructions
For local joint debugging and verification only; this displays the asynchronous translation result after saving in the backend.
See the inside before deciding the outside
3D-CT and nasal endoscopy are not a ritual. The same blocked nose can have completely different causes; pre-operative analysis decides the technique, not just the price.
Why an anesthesiologist is present at every operation
Revision and reconstruction take longer and demand more of anesthesia management than primary surgery. Anesthesia is not an add-on; it is part of the safety setup.
The camera in the operating room
CCTV in the operating room is not there to police the surgeon — it lets patients know what happened on the table. Trust shouldn't rest on promises alone.

Most clinics only add. Chamin lists nasal implant removal as a category in its own right, because removal often takes more judgement than placement.

From Seoul St. Mary's Hospital to Wonjin to his own clinic, the nose accounts for two-thirds of what Chamin does. He focuses on one feature because a nose's first surgery decides everything that is possible afterwards.
Plastic surgery is not “art”, it is “medicine”
An artist can create by personal taste and discard what they don't like; a doctor must never treat a human body that way. A body is not a piece of work — there is no starting over.
