Apex Plastic Surgery Clinic

It's been 10 days since my rhinoplasty!! I had both the bridge and tip of my nose done!! First of all, the desk staff and nurses here are so friendly and kind, which made me feel more comfortable when I was lying on the operating table. It's only been 10 days, but I barely have any bruising, so I wasn't worried about when the bruising would fade, haha. I had eyelid surgery 3 years ago, and I swelled up a lot and couldn't take time off work, so I was really worried about swelling and bruising... to the point where I regretted it and felt stressed. But here, I only had slight bruising around my cheeks near my nose, and it faded in about 5 days. Honestly, I didn't even pay attention to the bruising, lol. I didn't even notice when it disappeared, hahaha. There's still a little swelling on the bridge of my nose, but it's going down quickly day by day. I didn't even do ice packs that diligently because I was working, lol. When there was swelling, I was like, 'Ah, I should have made it higher... I'm disappointed,' but when the swelling went down, I was like, 'Wow, hahaha.' Before the surgery, it didn't feel that low when looking at it from the front, so my mom told me not to do it, and my friends told me it was fine as it was, but my profile was just so flat and my face lacked dimension, which was very stressful. I even debated getting the surgery for about 2 years because I had a hard time with my eyelid surgery, and it's different from eyelid surgery... After the surgery, I felt really hot and my heart was pounding like crazy, and I thought it would hurt a lot if I touched it even slightly, and I had all sorts of thoughts and worries, but what...? It's manageable...? That's what I thought, lol. I just felt like it wasn't my nose, but it didn't hurt much when I touched it. But sleeping is a little difficult because I have to breathe through my mouth, and my mouth gets dry, so I wake up in the middle of the night to drink water, haha. The doctor also takes really good care of me during each follow-up appointment, which is really awesome!!!! He's so meticulous and detail-oriented that the incision site is clean and the scar will disappear quickly, according to the doctor!!

Naver visitor review submitted on 2026-02-06. The patient shared a positive experience with General Cosmetic Surgery. (Original Korean review preserved; refer to Korean content for full details.)

Deep neck wrinkles made me look much older, but Botox made them significantly lighter. The procedure took less than 10 minutes but the effect is clear. Planning to come back regularly.

Getting a quote for lifting in Japan was over 2 million yen, but at Apex I received equal or better treatment at less than half the price. Dr. Lee skill is definite, and it is on par or even better than Japanese clinics. The finish is actually superior.

As I aged, my eyelids drooped so much that people always said I looked sleepy. Dr. Lee recommended a sub-brow lift, which cleanly lifted the sagging while maintaining my natural eye shape. After surgery, my eyes look so refreshed and my overall impression is brighter. The scar is hidden right under the eyebrow - completely invisible.

Ulthera alone might not be enough, so I combined it with thread lifting. The synergy effect is clear. My jawline is defined and skin elasticity improved. For a non-surgical treatment, this level of result is more than satisfying.
