  • Pelvic Plasty
    • What is Pelvic Plasty?
      Pelvic Plasty is the world’s first and only surgical procedure for changing the body contour of female pelvic and hip region.

      Until now, there was no genuine body skeletal aesthetics procedure that could address the demand for pelvic beauty. Only butt/thigh implants, fillers, or fat grafting.
      The fundamental extension of the pelvic bone width through Pelvic Plasty, enables the genuine alteration of hip width to transform into a hourglass body.

      By using a minimally invasive plate augmentation technique, it provides an ideal, safe and reversible way to change a once linear appearance to curvy, to give you a body you can feel good about.
    • Why is the Pelvis Important?
      The pelvis is critical to Wait-to-hip ratio (WHR) which is a useful indicator of female attractiveness.
      Having a narrow waist and wide hip (ideally 0.7 WHR) not only make the legs look longer,
      but also helps achieve a more 'female' body proportion
    Candidates of Pelvic Plasty

    Anyone not satisfied with his/her body due to having a narrow pelvis

    Male to female transgender patients who wish to correct a naturally male form and produce more curvature in the hip/thigh region

    Anyone planning to receive adjuvant hip surgeries and want to accentuate their effects

    Anyone who wants a permanent solution through a single surgery, rather than temporary procedures such as fillers or fat transfer

    Anyone who is struggling to achieve an hourglass figure by working out, and wants an immediate outcome of pelvic augmentation

    Limitations of Existing Techniques
    • THIGH IMPLANTS

      Risk of malposition, and asymmetric positioning

      Only alters the lateral aspect of thigh width and not the pelvic width

      Augmenting the thigh soft tissue makes the waist look lower and the legs shorter, especially when wearing jeans

    • FILLERS, LIPOSUCTION,
      AND FAT GRAFTING

      Liposuction only removes fat from the waist, which can never change the pelvic bone figure

      Fat does not stay, and with time, the injected fat would get absorbed by the body, requiring new and costly injections

      Lack of firm fixation can cause stress failure due to pressure coming from belts, pants, weight, etc.

    Advantages of Pelvic Plasty
    • SKELETAL AESTHETICS

      It is a widening of pelvic bone width, instead of hips or thighs, which leads to a more aesthetic body shape by making the legs look longer and waist higher

    • SAFE

      Easily Removable and has no effect on reproductive organs

      High resistance to stress from belt or pants during ambulation

    • EFFECTIVE

      Immediate and definite pelvic augmentation effect

      Firm fixation means there is minimal feeling of irritation, and no need to worry about displacement or deformity

    Pelvic Plasty FAQ
    • How is the recovery process like?

      You can walk right after the surgery, but the pain in the wound can occur for two to three days. You may slowly resume exercise at a less intense pace after two weeks, and return to normal activity by 6 weeks after surgery. The recovery time may vary depending on the patient's condition and the size of the prosthesis. Dr. Won will discuss resumption of activities with you on an individual basis.

    • Where is the incision located and how big are they?

      Small incisions (less than 5cm) are made inside the panty line, keeping the scars hidden when dressed in underwear.

    • What are the common risks and complications?

      After surgery, symptoms of numbness in the front of the thigh (hypoesthesia) may occur, but most of them are expected to subside within six months. Also, like any other surgeries, there is a risk of bleeding, infection, and re-surgery. Complications such as pneumonia and respiratory problems can be caused by anesthesia.

    • Do I need to come in for post-surgery checkups?

      You will be asked to come in 1 week, a month, and three months after the operation for a checkup. If you live far away or are in another country, your condition will be examined via email with x-ray photos you will take from your nearby hospitals. Also, there is no need for any replacement procedures as the implant is almost permanent. It is easily removable as well.

    • How long do I need to travel to Korea for Pelvic Plasty?

      Although the hospitalization period is 3 days, we recommend patients to travel to Korea for at least 5 days since recovery varies depending on the individual and doctor's recommendation.

  • Aesthetic Bone Surgery
    • Shoulder Narrowing (Clavicle Reduction)
      Individuals pursuing a slimmer shoulder profile often express
      a desire for a softer, more feminine shoulder line.
      The procedure involves partial bone removal from the clavicles,
      leading to a reduction in bi-deltoid distance.
      Our esteemed partnership clinics/hospitals will closely work with each patient to find a tailored solution that aligns with their unique desires.
      Beyond the pursuit of physical enhancement, our skilled surgeons prioritize the overall well-being and confidence of our patients, striving to achieve natural, symmetrical, and harmonious results.
    • Rib Removal (Waist Narrowing)
      Rib removal surgery can serve as an advanced body contouring solution to achieve horizontal waistline reduction.
      This surgical approach involves removing portions of free-floating ribs #11 and #12, which uniquely angle downward, providing outward support to the waistline's shape.
      By reducing the outer ends of these ribs, the waistline can collapse inward, resulting in a more defined and narrower shape with a smaller circumferential measurement.
      Surgical plan and viability will be determined based on doctor’s consult, including but not limited to; pre-op evaluation, body type and desired outcome.
    * Hospital stay and recovery duration may vary depending on individual case and doctor's recommendation.

  • Orthopedic
    • 1-Portal Spinal Endoscopy
      1-portal Spinal Endoscopy allows for nerve decompression
      of the vertebral disc without damaging bones, muscles, or ligaments.
      Through a small incision of less than 1 cm, the endoscope decompresses the nerve,
      allowing you to treat only the narrowed area while preserving your own joints.
    Benefits

    Uniportal surgical method is performed with a single incision that is less than 1cm whereas biportal method(the conventional surgical method) is performed with bigger incisions and it is inevitable to make incisions in bones, muscles and ligaments

    Uniportal method has a measurably shorter recovery time

    Uniportal method is minimally invasive with maximum effect

    Uniportal method can be applied to treat cervical disc herniation and/or stenosis since cervical spine has the smallest vertebral body in our spine where space is limited for 2 surgical devices to enter

    Uniportal method offers better clinical outcomes and minimal tissue damage/trauma

    Uniportal method is performed under local anesthesia

    Uniportal method has lower risk of relapse or complications

    Uniportal(1-portal) Biportal(2-portals)
    Surgical Method Endoscope and treatment device are inserted into one portal. Endoscope and treatment device are inserted into each of 2 incisions, respectively.
    No. of Incisions 1 2
