This is my Retmus PS review, and I was given a 10% discount for writing about my personal experience. I am from North America, I’m almost in my mid-forties, and I came across Retmus clinic while reading about plastic/revisional surgeries on Reddit and Purseforum. I was very intrigued, so I messaged to inquire, and the communication with the clinic was good from the beginning, I was communicating with the translator in English.

Prior to coming to SK, Seoul I knew that I wanted to see Dr. Chung at Retmus Plastic Surgery. I was looking for revision tip plasty and chin implant removal and maybe genioplasty, in which case he could do all, I was also interested in the scarless lip lift as well. I had my blood work done back home prior to coming, and I had to pay for the EKG, Xray appt here in SK. 

My consultation was on May 26, 2026, and I needed a CT scan so Dr Chung could see my facial anatomy and give his recommendations. I had previous facial asymmetry and Dr. Chung explained (I also knew) that these procedures would not fix my soft tissue facial asymmetry. Dr. Chung explained my situation well and after the consultation I felt confident with Dr. Chung, the clinic staff, and I decided to go forward. We were all in agreement on the surgery plan; revision tip plasty w/lip lift, chin implant removal w/genioplasty. My impression of Dr. Chung is that he is very smart, confident, skillful, talented, honest, and he means well. I completely put my trust in his experience and skills. My surgery was the next day; I was to be at the office for 9:00am and in surgery by 11:00am. The staff went through and explained in detail the surgeries to be performed, the risks, potential complications, and I was informed about my medications. I recommend taking pictures, make notes of the important recommendations for after care. After the surgery, I was not nauseous at all, but my mouth was very dry, I had to wait before I could have water, I was also given a bit of oxygen and was to keep awake to let the gasses out. I was able to go to the washroom when needed, the nurse assisted with the walking to. Dr. Chung came into see me after the surgery, he said surgery went well, and he said my chin implant had capsular contracture so when removing he removed as much of the scar tissue that he could, I was so relieved and was so glad to have it out. I had approx. 4.5mm removed on the philtrum. The Dr, the staff, and nurses were kind and caring, and I felt safe and in good hands. The staff kindly helped and assisted in getting me a taxi back to my stay. The first 2-3 days were the toughest, with some pain swelling, limited movement, strict eating, I only needed 1 Tylenol on day 2 and 1 on day 3, after that it was manageable. I came into the clinic on day 2 for a checkup and my nose stitches were removed at the clinic visit on day 6. I’m currently 7 days/1 week out, and my nose and tip are very swollen and numb. I am concerned as my nose looks big, thick and sticks out a lot (I do have thick skin nose). My lip lift area is still numb, stiff, with swelling, hard to talk, laugh, eat, and I can’t close my mouth yet. My chin and lower cheeks area are still swollen as well from genioplasty/implant removal, which is to be expected. The stitches are still in my mouth and will be removed this coming week. Now I am patiently waiting for more healing and de-swelling. I am anticipating the results to come. I think I do look younger already though. 😊

I posted 3 pics, 1 pre pic day of surgery, day 1 post surgery, and day 7 post surgery.
