Before deciding what to do,we look at who you are
Atelier Plastic Surgery Personal Consulting
Atelier Plastic Surgery Personal Consulting is a consultation program that looks at your body type, skin, daily routine and recovery environment before any treatment is decided, and puts together an individual plan for you.
We can give time to consultations because we perform one general-anesthesia surgery per day. With no surgical schedule pressing, you do not have to decide on surgery at the initial consultation. We look together at which procedure suits you, whether now is the right time, and whether surgery is needed at all.
Consultations that require undressing, such as breast and body, are conducted by Dr. Juyoung Go herself, a female board-certified plastic surgeon. The consultation rooms are run by appointment, one person at a time, so your path does not cross with other visitors'.
How the consultation works
- 01Pre-consultation questionnaire
We record the area of concern, medical history, previous surgeries, current medications and daily routine in advance.
- 02Examination and measurement
The Director herself checks your body type, skin thickness, tissue elasticity and asymmetry. Where needed, ultrasound is used to look at the tissue.
- 033D simulation
For breast and body consultations, 3D simulation lets you preview the expected result and decide on size and shape together.
- 04Individual plan
The surgical method, incision, anesthesia, expected recovery timeline and precautions are written up as a document for you. You do not need to decide on the spot.
- 05Recovery environment review
We adjust the timing of surgery to fit your recovery environment: when you return to work, whether someone can accompany you, and the follow-up visit schedule.
The consultation on video
Scenes from an actual consultation. You handle the implants yourself and look at the expected result together in the mirror and in the 3D simulation.
We look at the result
together, before surgery
For breast augmentation, breast lift and body surgery, 3D simulation (Crisalix) lets you preview the expected result. Because you can change the implant size and shape while checking the proportion to your whole body, "how much suits me" can be decided by eye rather than by numbers.
The simulation is a tool for conversation, not a tool that guarantees a result. The actual result may differ depending on tissue condition and the recovery process, and we explain that difference in the consultation.
What we check together in the consultation
- 01What the problem is
Sagging or volume, fat or skin. A different cause calls for a different procedure. The decision criteria from the guide pages are applied as they are in the consultation.
- 02Whether now is the right time
Depending on plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding, changes in weight, or the time elapsed since a previous surgery, it is sometimes better to postpone surgery. If postponing is the answer, we say so.
- 03Whether surgery is needed at all
We begin by identifying cases where a non-surgical treatment is enough, or where even surgery is unlikely to bring the change you hope for.
- 04Whether your environment allows recovery
We check whether you can rest during the recovery period, whether someone can help you, and whether the clinic is within a reasonable distance for follow-up visits, and build that into the plan.
Why we focus on
one person a day
The reason we can give time to consultations is our principle of one general-anesthesia surgery per day. Because the operating room, the recovery room and the medical team's time are given to one person, there is enough time for the consultation as well.
