Competent Cosmetic Surgeon

Pak Kum Son, chief of the Cosmetic Surgery Department of General Dental Hospital under the Ministry of Public Health, has high operating skills.

Cosmetic surgery for the congenital and acquired deformities and defects of face, neck and jawbone requires a high level of skills, unlike other operations.

She succeeds in any operation at one go by finding a correct method, so her surgical skills elicit the admiration of her colleagues.

In the past, through steady thinking and efforts, she invented soft skin tissue expansion and other rational operating methods capable of reducing the burden on patients and minimizing the scars and 10-odd kinds of medical appliances and materials needed for cosmetic operation such as an efficacious material facial skin suture dressing. All this contributed to improving the quality of medical service.

In particular, she mastered a peculiar cutting method and correctly applied it to improve the efficiency of operation.

Over the past 20-odd years, she has restored the looks of a large number of patients, including a 2-year-old with three nostrils and distorted eyes due to congenital abnormality, an 11-year-old girl with complete rupture from the nostrils to the mouth and uvula, a 21-year-old girl who could not go out and had to sleep in a sitting position for 17 years because of her completely blocked airways of both nostrils and seriously distorted nose and face.

She finds the pride and worth of life in dedicating her high medical skills and sincerity to enabling all her patients to gain normal looks so that they could mix among the public.
