Discussing your priorities with Dr. Minhee Ryu

Discuss the change you want, what your anatomy allows, and what you would prefer to leave unchanged. A useful surgical plan explains the technique, incision placement, anesthesia, expected scars, recovery milestones and alternatives. Ask who will perform each part of the operation and who will manage an unexpected problem.

Bring previous operation reports, implant details and a record of earlier injections if relevant. Photographs can explain a preference, but they cannot predict your outcome. Ask to see comparable cases with a stated recovery interval and consistent lighting.

Make the consultation useful

Before meeting Dr. Minhee Ryu, write down your main concern, how long it has affected you, what you have already tried and what a worthwhile improvement would mean in everyday life. Bring relevant clinical records and a list of medicines, supplements and allergies. If you have had earlier treatment, include the dates and any complications.

  • How does my anatomy affect the proposed result?
  • What are the alternatives to surgery or to this technique?
  • Who provides anesthesia and postoperative reviews?
  • What is the plan if I need further treatment after returning home?

Ask the doctor to explain the reasoning behind the proposed plan, including alternatives and the option of not proceeding. Confirm who will perform the treatment, who will review your recovery and how to obtain help outside the planned visits. For care abroad, discuss the follow-up arrangements before paying for treatment or booking a return flight.
