Orthognathic Surgery: Do I Have to Go to Seoul?

Than a large Seoul hospital Always We will not tell you that one is better than the other.

Instead, we want to show you, through the stories of patients who actually made this choice, that you can have surgery with an experienced board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon and receive follow-up care through recovery in Busan as well.

"I don't believe you must go to Seoul to have orthognathic surgery. What matters is not the location or size of the clinic, but who performs the surgery, with what experience and standards, and how they take responsibility through recovery after surgery."
"I believe that once surgeons have a certain level of experience, the difference in their skills is not that great. What allows surgeons of similar ability to achieve different results is, I think, whether they work in an environment where they can devote their full abilities entirely to the surgical patient."
— Dr. Sang-Hoon Lee

What Happens When Patients from Busan and Gyeongnam Choose Seoul

Long-distance travel, the burden on family members, and the difficulty of repeated follow-up visits. Orthognathic (double jaw) surgery is a treatment that requires many hospital visits, from pre-surgery examinations to suture removal and follow-ups at 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year. Being close enough to have your surgeon check minor swelling and discomfort within the first 2 weeks after surgery helps ease anxiety during recovery.

A hospital where you can receive truly specialized surgery in Busan without having to travel to Seoul, and entrust your recovery and aftercare to us with peace of mind. That is why The Barunface was created, and it is a promise we want to keep going forward.

Patients Who Chose Busan

If you have considered Seoul, or Four people who chose Busan after having surgery in Seoul

These are cases compiled by the Director. Names are written as initials only.

01 · Patient Y · Masan

A case of choosing Busan after being advised to have surgery in Seoul

This patient lives in Masan, and their previous orthodontic dental clinic recommended a surgical hospital in Seoul. However, after considering the burden of traveling to Seoul for surgery and recovering there, and confirming that there is also a board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon in Busan, they visited our clinic. They said trust in the diagnosis and explanations was built during the consultation, and they chose our clinic because an acquaintance had been satisfied with their surgical experience and results.

02 · Patient K

A case of choosing additional treatment in Busan after surgery in Seoul

This patient visited us for pin removal after cheekbone surgery in Seoul. Instead of having the pins removed at the original surgical hospital, they looked into receiving care in Busan, and chose to have the pin removal done at our clinic because they felt confident in the explanation of the procedure and in the care provided by our medical team.

03 · Patient K

A case of pin removal at our clinic after plastic surgery in Seoul

This patient had facial contouring surgery at a plastic surgery clinic in Seoul about 6 years ago, and later had the pin removal done at our clinic in Busan.

04 · Patient Y · International Student

A case of an international patient choosing orthognathic (double jaw) surgery in Busan

This is a case of an international student from China who decided to have orthognathic (double jaw) surgery at our clinic. We believe it is meaningful because it shows that patients can choose a hospital based on trust in the medical team's expertise and consultation, regardless of region or nationality.
