  Comprehensive Guide to Chin Augmentation!! In-Depth Analysis of Pros & Cons by Procedure Hello, I am Dr. Kim Yongwoo, a board-certified plastic surgeon at Returning Plastic Surgery. In this session, I will introduce the different types of chin augmentation (surgery for a receding chin) and, among them, the advantages of chin implants , which I particularly favor.

Hello. I am Dr. Kim Yongwoo, a plastic surgery specialist at Returning Plastic Surgery. ​ This post covers the 6-month follow-up story after performing anti-aging surgeries—including eyes, nose, fat grafting, and facelift—on my mother-in-law. ​ In December 2023, around the time my own mother’s facelift recovery was wrapping up successfully, I visited my in-laws. Naturally, their interest was focused on my mother’s recovery. In fact, I had recommended anti-aging surgery to my in-laws several times in the past.
