Qualifications and academic work
DL lists M.D. and Ph.D. qualifications and board certification in plastic surgery. His biography records a 2024 presentation on mandibular and chin contouring, and 2025 presentations on mandibular reduction and revision mandibuloplasty. It also lists professional membership in Korean plastic-surgery societies and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. These are relevant background details for a patient evaluating a consultation about chin or lower-face surgery.
The profile-line consultation
The clinic describes a director-led system and a profile-line approach considering the forehead, nose, lips and chin together. Ask Dr. Jeong to identify which part of that relationship is driving your concern. A full-profile analysis should help determine whether chin surgery alone is sufficient, whether another procedure adds a meaningful benefit, or whether the proposed change is too small or uncertain to justify surgery.
Questions about chin design
Ask what specific change is planned in projection, height, width and symmetry. Request the reasoning for the selected technique and an explanation of the expected response of the lower lip and chin crease. If the plan includes mandibular reduction, ask how that operation supports your augmentation goal and what would be different with a chin-only approach.
His published work includes revision mandibuloplasty. For a revision appointment, bring earlier imaging, operation notes and details of implants or fixation hardware. Ask the surgeon to identify the anatomical cause of the concern and to distinguish a realistic corrective goal from a result that may not be achievable after earlier surgery.
Continuity of care
DL describes care performed and supervised by its director. Confirm the actual arrangements for your consultation, surgery and early reviews. Ask for written costs and a follow-up plan covering imaging, diet, oral hygiene and travel. Before returning home, obtain the final operation record and clarify how to contact the team for a symptom that requires more than a remote photographic review.
Arrange a consultation with the named specialist
When contacting DL Plastic Surgery, request Dr. Jinwook Jeong 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.
