Dr. Sang Hoon Sun is listed as certified by the Korean Medical Association (KMA), the national professional body overseeing licensed physicians in South Korea. This credential reflects Dr. Sang Hoon Sun's standing as a registered medical practitioner.

Among their areas of concentration is the facelift, a procedure aimed at reversing the visible signs of facial aging. Dr. Sang Hoon Sun works with SMAS techniques, which address the deeper support layer of the face rather than the skin alone.

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a fibrous tissue layer beneath the skin that gives the face its structural support. Surgeons who work at this level aim for results that look natural and last longer than skin-only lifts.

The deep plane facelift represents an advanced approach to facial rejuvenation. It involves releasing and repositioning deeper facial tissues as a single unit, an approach that many surgeons in Seoul have adopted as facial aesthetics have evolved.

Patient focus is central to facial rejuvenation surgery, where individual anatomy shapes every surgical plan. Dr. Sang Hoon Sun's work in facelift and SMAS procedures is tailored to the specific aging patterns each patient presents.

Recovery is a meaningful part of any deep plane facelift journey. Patients typically plan for a period of swelling and healing before the final rejuvenation becomes visible over several months.
