Dr. Jin Hyung Kim is Deesse’s chief director in Seoul. His published biography records plastic-surgery training at Severance Hospital, and the clinic lists double-cut sliding genioplasty among its services.

Education and clinical background
The official biography records medical and master’s degrees from Yonsei University College of Medicine, residency and plastic-surgery specialist training at Severance Hospital, and teaching appointments in its plastic surgery department. It lists his previous chief directorship at Dau Plastic Surgery and his current role at Deesse. His listed memberships include Korean plastic-surgery and craniofacial societies.
Chin surgery relevance
Deesse describes double-cut sliding genioplasty, other chin surgery and facial implants within its contouring program. Ask Dr. Kim which approach fits your intended change and why. A double-cut plan may involve several dimensions of chin shape, so clarify whether the goal is advancement, narrowing, vertical adjustment or correction of asymmetry. Make sure the proposed design matches your preferred facial character rather than assuming that a narrower chin is always the objective.
Making the bone plan concrete
Ask to review the location of the mental nerves and tooth roots relative to the planned cuts. Discuss fixation, how bone healing will be followed, and whether hardware removal is ever anticipated. Have the surgeon explain how the lower lip and the crease above the chin may respond. The bone movement and the visible soft-tissue result are related but not identical.
For revision cases, bring previous scans, operative notes and hardware or implant details. Ask which existing structural changes affect the plan, whether correction needs more than one stage, and which parts of the original anatomy may not be safely restored. These questions help turn dissatisfaction with appearance into an anatomically specific treatment discussion.
International care planning
Confirm the clinical consultation language and the exact review schedule through Deesse’s international website. Request a written quote with anesthesia, imaging and follow-up identified. Ask who reviews postoperative concerns and how the team coordinates care after return travel. Obtain the operation record and a clear written plan for diet, oral hygiene and activity before discharge, with a separate contact route for urgent symptoms.
Arrange a consultation with the named specialist
When contacting Deesse Plastic Surgery, request Dr. Jin Hyung Kim by name and specify whether you want an initial assessment or a second opinion. Ask whether the first discussion will be with the surgeon or a coordinator, and whether the same clinician will explain the final plan after examining you. Bring a short list of changes you would like and features you want to preserve.
