Chiu Plastic Surgery is a Gangnam clinic built around eye and nose work, with a particular focus on revision cases — correcting a rhinoplasty or double eyelid surgery that didn't turn out the way a patient hoped elsewhere. It also performs first-time rhinoplasty and DES, but revision depth is what sets it apart from similar eye-and-nose clinics in the area.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose — bridge height, tip definition, or nostril width — usually using the patient's own cartilage, sometimes combined with implant material for structural support. At Chiu Plastic Surgery, first-time rhinoplasty is planned with an eye toward what a later revision would need if one's ever required, in keeping with the revision-minded approach Chiu Plastic Surgery takes to eye and nose surgery.
Revision rhinoplasty fixes a nose that didn't heal the way an earlier surgery planned — a collapsed bridge, an over-rotated tip, breathing trouble, or visible asymmetry. It's more demanding than a first operation: there's less cartilage to work with and scar tissue to navigate, so the surgeon is reconstructing as much as reshaping. This is the case type Chiu Plastic Surgery is built around, rather than one procedure among many.
Double Eyelid Surgery (DES) creates or defines an upper-eyelid crease to make the eyes look larger and more awake, using either a non-incision (buried-suture) technique or a full-incision method depending on lid anatomy. Chiu offers this as a first-time procedure, with the same revision-minded planning that shapes its nose work.
Double eyelid revision corrects a previous eyelid surgery — a crease set too high or unevenly, a fold that's faded, or visible scarring. Because the surgeon has to work around scar tissue from the earlier procedure, revision cases call for more planning than a first surgery, and it's the kind of case Chiu takes on regularly rather than occasionally.
Also offered at Chiu
Breast Augmentation: Increases breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Offered as part of Chiu's broader surgical menu, unrelated to its eye-and-nose specialty.Fat Grafting: Takes fat from one area of the body, purifies it, and re-injects it where volume is needed, commonly the face. Uses the patient's own tissue, so there's no rejection risk, though some transferred fat reabsorbs over time.
