- Congenital or Traumatic Nasal Deformities: Addressing structural imbalances, dorsal humps, bulbous tips, or deviated septums that affect both breathing and facial symmetry.
- Eyelid Asymmetry and Ptosis: Correcting monolid structures, drooping upper eyelids (ptosis), under-eye bags, and severe fat herniation around the orbital area.

Procedures Performed
Dr. Choi Eun Kyu is exceptionally skilled in executing a broad array of complex plastic surgery procedures, including but not limited to:
- Advanced Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): Dr. Choi is highly sought after for both upper and lower blepharoplasty. He performs customized double eyelid surgeries using non-incisional, partial-incisional, and full-incisional methods depending on the patient's skin thickness and fat distribution. He also specializes in ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty to create brighter, more alert, and aesthetically pleasing eyes.
- Precision Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping): Utilizing highly advanced 3D imaging and specialized surgical techniques, Dr. Choi performs both aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty. Whether reducing a dorsal hump, refining a bulbous tip, or augmenting the nasal bridge using autologous cartilage (such as ear or rib cartilage) or safe alloplastic implants, his rhinoplasty results are tailored to complement the patient's specific facial dimensions.
- Facial Contouring and Bone Reshaping: To achieve a smoother and more refined facial silhouette, Dr. Choi offers state-of-the-art facial contouring procedures. This includes zygoma (cheekbone) reduction, mandible (jaw) reduction, and genioplasty (chin surgery). He employs highly precise surgical instruments to ensure maximum safety and symmetry while sculpting a softer V-line facial shape.
- Anti-Aging and Lifting Procedures: Dr. Choi helps patients restore a youthful vitality through comprehensive lifting techniques. His expertise encompasses full Face Lifts (Rhytidectomy), SMAS lifting, neck lifts, and minimally invasive thread lifts. These procedures are meticulously designed to lift deep facial tissues rather than merely pulling the skin, yielding natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
- Autologous Fat Grafting: To address volume loss and deep facial hollows without synthetic fillers, Dr. Choi utilizes advanced micro-fat grafting techniques. By harvesting the patient's own adipose tissue from the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and strategically injecting it into areas like the forehead, cheeks, and nasolabial folds, he achieves a plump, youthful, and naturally vibrant facial contour.

It is highly regarded by both local and international patients for providing world-class surgical outcomes, comprehensive post-operative care, and a luxurious, patient-centric environment that ensures comfort and safety throughout the entire surgical journey.
3. Am I a good candidate for Korean double eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?
Ideal candidates for double eyelid surgery with Dr. Choi are individuals who wish to create a defined upper eyelid crease, correct asymmetrical eyelids, or address drooping eyelids that impair vision or appear fatigued. During your thorough consultation, Dr. Choi will carefully evaluate your skin thickness, fat volume, and eye shape to recommend the most appropriate surgical technique—whether non-incisional, partial, or full incision—to achieve bright, natural-looking eyes.
4. How does Dr. Choi ensure natural-looking results in rhinoplasty?
Dr. Choi Eun Kyu utilizes advanced anatomical analysis and 3D imaging to plan every rhinoplasty procedure. Rather than applying a single template to every patient, he carefully considers the unique proportions of your face, including your forehead, chin, and cheekbones. By combining highly refined surgical techniques and utilizing autologous materials like ear or rib cartilage where appropriate, he sculpts a customized nasal contour that looks completely natural and functionally sound.
5. What is the typical recovery time after a facelift procedure?
Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the facelift and the individual patient's healing rate. Generally, patients can expect the most significant swelling and bruising to subside within the first two weeks. Dr. Choi utilizes precise, tissue-sparing SMAS lifting techniques that help to minimize trauma and expedite the healing process. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and normal social activities within 10 to 14 days, with final aesthetic results settling over the following months.
6. Can I combine multiple plastic surgery procedures during one visit?
Yes, it is very common and often beneficial to combine multiple procedures, such as rhinoplasty and facial fat grafting, or blepharoplasty and a facelift. Combining surgeries can ensure overall facial harmony, reduce total recovery time, and be more cost-effective. During your comprehensive consultation, Dr. Choi Eun Kyu will assess your overall health and aesthetic goals to determine if combining treatments is a safe and highly effective option for you.
7. How is patient safety prioritized at URBAN PLASTIC SURGERY?
Patient safety is the highest priority at URBAN PLASTIC SURGERY. The clinic strictly adheres to international medical and sterilization standards. Dr. Choi Eun Kyu conducts rigorous pre-operative health screenings, including blood tests and physical evaluations, to clear patients for surgery. Furthermore, procedures are performed in state-of-the-art operating theaters equipped with emergency medical systems and continuous real-time monitoring by specialized anesthesiologists to guarantee absolute safety.
8. What should I expect during my initial consultation with Dr. Choi?
During your initial consultation, Dr. Choi Eun Kyu will take the time to actively listen to your cosmetic goals and thoroughly examine your facial structure. He will review your medical history, discuss the most suitable surgical or non-surgical options, explain the realistic outcomes you can expect, and detail the recovery process. This transparent, informative session is designed to ensure you are completely comfortable and well-informed before making any decisions.
9. Is autologous fat grafting a permanent solution for facial volume loss?
Autologous fat grafting offers highly durable and long-lasting results compared to temporary synthetic dermal fillers. Because the procedure uses your body's own living tissue, a significant percentage of the transferred fat establishes a permanent blood supply in the new location. Dr. Choi uses advanced micro-fat purification and strategic multi-layer injection techniques to maximize fat survival rates, ensuring that the restored volume remains beautifully intact for years.
10. How do international patients manage their stay in Seoul for surgery?
URBAN PLASTIC SURGERY is highly experienced in accommodating international patients. The clinic typically offers comprehensive support services, including dedicated multilingual translators, assistance with post-operative care scheduling, and detailed recovery guidelines tailored for those traveling. Patients are advised to stay in Seoul for a minimum of 7 to 14 days post-surgery, allowing Dr. Choi Eun Kyu to personally monitor their healing progress and safely remove any sutures before they fly home.

Urban Plastic Surgery reviews
I had a full facelift with Dr. Lee Jeong Min and rhinoplasty with Dr. Choi Eun Kyu at Urban Plastic Surgery, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Dr. Lee lifted and tightened my face in such a natural way — I still look like myself, just refreshed and younger. Dr. Choi did an amazing job on my nose. It looks so balanced and fits my face perfectly now.
Both doctors were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The staff were also so friendly and supportive, always checking in and making sure I was doing okay. My recovery went smoothly, and I’m already loving the results.
If you’re thinking about facial surgery, I definitely recommend Urban. It was such a positive experience for me from start to finish.
