Dr. Kim Hyeongtaek’s published profile describes rhinoplasty practice dating to 2006. His listed interests include revision and non-implant rhinoplasty, autologous rib-cartilage grafting, correction of short or deviated noses, functional nasal surgery, alar reduction and dorsal-hump reduction.

What to clarify in consultation
Ask Dr. Kim which graft or implant, if any, is proposed and why it fits your nasal support and desired change. For a revision, disclose all previous operations and injections and discuss breathing symptoms as well as appearance. Request an explanation of donor-site recovery if cartilage is harvested, the planned review schedule and the limitations created by previous surgery.
