Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Hyung Rok Kim

Dr. Hyung Rok Kim specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, neck lift, and facial rejuvenation, practicing in South Korea. The deep plane facelift is an advanced rhytidectomy technique that releases the retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS layer and repositions the fat, muscle, and skin as a single composite unit for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. Dr. Hyung Rok Kim is a plastic surgeon affiliated with the Department of Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery at Korea University Medical Center, Korea University College of Medicine.

Dr. Hyung Rok Kim is listed as a deep plane facelift specialist on DeepPlane.com. Board-certification details have not been confirmed for this profile yet, so we recommend verifying credentials directly with the surgeon's office and through the relevant national medical board's public registry before scheduling a consultation.

Request the full clinic address and directions during your initial inquiry. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Hyung Rok Kim provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.

Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues — including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments — rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Hyung Rok Kim can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
