    #A-Top Under-Eye Fat Redistribution

    I had double eyelid surgery and fat repositioning under my eyes. There was some swelling in my face, so my skin looked tight and firm. ^^ I was considering facial fat grafting after that, and it reminded me that it has been 3 months since I had surgery with Dr. Lee Han-jung at A-Top Plastic Surg

    #A-Top Under-Eye Fat Redistribution

    I have been concerned about the fat under my eyes for a long time, so I decided to undergo surgery. The kindness and detailed consultation from the manager, along with the thorough and friendly consultation from the director, were very pleasing. The pain was less than I expected, and I am happy with

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I visit general surgery?
Visit general surgery for thyroid nodules, breast lumps, hernias, hemorrhoids/fistula, suspected appendicitis (lower right abdominal pain), trauma, lacerations, and burns — conditions requiring surgical treatment. For major trauma, go directly to surgery or the ER.
What's the difference between general surgery and orthopedics?
Orthopedics handles the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, muscles), while general surgery handles other body parts (digestive, thyroid, breast, anal, etc.). Surgery has subspecialties including general, hepatobiliary-pancreatic, breast, and colorectal.
What's the difference between laparoscopic and open surgery?
Laparoscopy uses 3–4 small 5–10mm incisions to insert a camera and instruments — faster recovery and smaller scars. Open surgery uses a large incision but offers a wider view, better for complex cases. Most surgeries today are laparoscopic.
Do all thyroid nodules need surgery?
No. Most thyroid nodules are benign and only require regular monitoring. Surgery is considered when nodules grow rapidly, fine-needle biopsy shows malignant or suspicious findings, or compression symptoms appear.
How long is recovery after surgery?
Recovery varies greatly by surgery type. Appendicitis and hernia surgery typically take 1–2 weeks; thyroid and breast surgery 2–4 weeks; colorectal surgery 4–6 weeks. Your doctor will provide a personalized recovery timeline.
