When I was looking into plastic surgery clinics, I had asked around among offline acquaintances, so I didn’t know about the existence of plastic surgery cafes like this one. I only recently learned about it because of a middle school friend who was thinking about plastic surgery. I realized that when people look into plastic surgery clinics, many of them go through a lot because of numerous brokers and the lack of accurate information, and I wanted to be helpful to many people, so I made time today while I was back at my parents’ house to write my review.:)
[I verified my receipt here. In the case of Note, I paid in three installments: 1 million won deposit / 4.5 million won surgery fee (check) / 5 million won surgery fee (credit), so I have three receipts in total, but I could only attach one receipt, so I verified just one.]
I was very stressed by my recessed chin and broad face, which made me look unsophisticated and dull. In particular, because of my recessed chin, my side profile looked like a fish, and from the front, the lighting line could not connect from my prominent cheekbones at a 45-degree angle all the way to the tip of my chin, so my face looked even wider than it already was (and it was already wide because my side cheekbones were developed). Anyway, I was unhappy with my overall appearance, so I had surgery with Director Yujihan at the end of the year before last. I visited once more the day before surgery and made several requests, and although it would have been understandable if he had been flustered, he was not like that at all and instead thought seriously about my needs right up until just before the surgery.
As a result, I am spending my days very satisfied with the clear improvement. Because he shaped it naturally rather than artificially, people around me don’t say, “Did you get surgery?” but instead say things like, “You lost a lot of weight!” or “Something seems different, you suddenly got way more handsome!” It really has become clear that I’m prettier and more handsome, but the ideal situation, where there’s no obvious sign of surgery at all, is making me very happy.
The reasons I chose Director Yujihan at Note out of the many contouring clinics and doctors are as follows.
1. <Pursuing natural beauty without artificiality> These days, because people tend to prefer very slim lines, many undergo V-line surgery, and many clinics try to make the chin tip as sharp and pointed as possible. But when you make a chin like that, instead of gaining sophistication, there are many times when, as you move your face to make an expression, the chin and muscles seem to separate and move independently, and it can feel not just artificial but bizarre. However, among the clinics I visited, Director Yujihan was the only one who emphasized the importance of chin width very strongly, and that matched my own aesthetic preference. He said that unless the chin width is extremely broad, it should be preserved as much as possible, and that the angle of the square jaw line should be made to rise more steeply so that you can maintain a normal facial structure while still achieving a refined, luxurious, slim face.
2. <Application of various techniques for chin surgery> Usually, many places try to solve every case using only T-shaped osteotomy, but I was impressed that they apply a variety of techniques in a customized way depending on each patient’s case. Since I needed my recessed chin improved through chin advancement, I was looking for a doctor who could preserve the body volume as much as possible while maximizing the effect, and Director Yujihan was the perfect fit:)
3. <Word of mouth and recommendations> I asked around acquaintances and people who had undergone surgery, and most of them recommended two or three places. The recommended clinics differed from person to person, but one thing I found interesting was that they all strongly recommended Note. I thought there must be a reason so many people consistently praised Director Yujihan at Note!
4. <The completeness and cleanliness of the CT> It’s a bit cautious to talk about this... but before surgery I looked up CT images of patients after surgery and CT images posted on YouTube. Compared with other doctors at certain clinics I researched, the completeness and cleanliness of the CT images were overwhelmingly superior. Of course, CT does not explain everything, but there is nothing quite as important either. So I strongly felt, “At the very least, if I get surgery from Director Yujihan, I won’t have to suffer from problems like nonunion, and he is someone who can bring out every little detail on the aesthetic side!” Many clinics boast about all sorts of aftercare, and aftercare is indeed important, but what matters most is fundamentally doing the surgery well (CT is important!). The really essential aftercare is also provided as standard at Note, and if needed later, Director Yujihan also provided additional aftercare for free even though it was not included in the original surgery contract.
<What I’m feeling now, about a year and a half after surgery> Whenever I read reviews from other surgery patients, and whenever I recall the time when he operated on me, I feel that Director Yujihan is exceptionally skilled at creating a refined, sharp image in a luxurious yet natural way. If I had not entrusted my surgery to Director Yujihan, I think I would truly have regretted it. If I were to describe Director Yujihan, who has outstanding understanding of curves, lines, and surfaces, in one phrase, I would call him the “Michelangelo” of Korea’s contouring surgery field!! Looking at the osteotomy traces in the CT, the post-shaving finishing, and the facial lines and atmosphere created when the face is under lighting, I really felt that he sculpted with great delicacy.
Director Yujihan is usually calm and a bit chic, so he could come across as blunt, but in fact he is a responsible doctor who pays extremely careful attention to each patient until the very end, which is quite rare in today’s local cosmetic market. I haven’t personally visited and had surgery at every contouring clinic in existence, so I can’t speak for other clinics, but I can confidently say that at least Director Yujihan at Note is someone you can trust and leave it to, and as someone who has had the surgery myself, I strongly recommend him!
Yesterday, May 31... while I was choosing bread at a famous bakery in my hometown to give Director Yujihan some bread as a gift, a customer choosing bread next to me suddenly looked at me and said, “Are you by any chance a celebrity?”... It was the first time I had ever heard that, so I was startled but also felt good, and it made me newly grateful to Director Yujihan I think he really built a solid foundation for the basics of my best-period looks! Director Yujihan is already very famous, but personally I hope even more patients will recognize the doctor’s true value, and I hope the clinic does even better too:)
If you happen to plan contouring surgery and end up consulting with Director Yujihan, try telling him that you came after reading this review
