I went to Korea some time ago, perhaps 1 year and met some marvelous Korean Cosmetic Surgeons. I was the invited instructor to teach my technique in Buttock Augmentation. It was a great country and I was of course happy to have my way paid and teach some plastic surgery technique. Well many of the doctors asked me if they could spend some time in my clinic to observe and learn.
This brings me to Dr. Yeom who had our mutual contact who I know as “Maverick” had emailed me about his desire to come here. In fact I knew he was sincere in his quest to learn more from me. The reason was when I was in Korea he could not speak English so he spent the last year learning English so he could communicate here.
Troy Wilson, Dr. Yeum, ME
He arrived about two weeks ago, unfortunately the clinic is slow, but we did have enough cases to keep him occupied. So he learned enough to make his trip worth while. We performed several breast augmentation surgeries and he assisted and learned some technique. He also observed Rhinoplasty some facial surgeries and liposuction.
Dr. Yeum has his own clinic in Korea which he names Dr. Beauty Clinic. The problem is he says no one in Korea knows the english term “beauty”, so he is unsure of how effective it is. Never the less Dr. Yeum likes the term so he will keep it.
I have met a lot of plastic and cosmetic surgeons in my 20 years in the field and I must say he is indeed one of the most pleasant I have met. For me as teacher of techniques it was a nice experience, Additionally Dr. Yeum taught some of his non-surgical techniques to me. During his visit we had a new product come in called Dysport. Dysport is now a FDA approved competitor to Botox cosmetic sold by Allergan. Both products are similar yet we had no experience with Dysport. Well with Dr. Yeums visit we had an experienced Dysport teacher for myself and the staff. It seems that dysport has been used in Korea for about 3 years while we just received approval here this year. So we were able to get the scoop and all the insight on the use. Another potential aspect of Dysport which we learned and actually now have tried on a few patients is something called “dermatox lift” we call it a” dysport lift” until I complete my study of this and then I will give it a catchy name. We noted that by injecting small amounts of Dysport in the dermis ( skin ) it produces a lifting of the skin. This by no means is like a surgical face lift, but indeed all agreed that they could see a slight lift on all the patients we tried. Originally when Dr. Yeum mentioned this we thought it sounded very strange. Yet when he demonstrated the technique we were all amazed. I will be writing more about this technique later once our “mini-study” is completed but initial indications are it looks very good.
One more thing about Dr. Yeum is that he likes karaoke and he can really really sing. In fact we were amazed at his wonderful voice.
Dr Yeum as lounge singer !!
Well all I can say is that this was impressive even though he sang a Korean Song which I could not understand. I think he is a baratone. Everyone at our table and entire strangers were simply amazed. The one musician with our group stated that Dr. Yeum missed his calling and should have been a singer instead of a doctor.
I agree though he seemed to be a good doctor as well.
His visit ended with our presentation of certificate stating that he completed a two week preceptorship in cosmetic surgery at our clinic.
We will be having other surgeons visit our clinic in the furture as we have in the past for learning and exchanging the latest techniques. This is always enjoyable and educational.
