Director Hong Sung-jae is a leading figure in the "technical school" of lip plastic surgery in Korea. At Three Wishes Hospital, lip procedures account for over 60% of all surgeries, including: Smile Lip / Cupid's Bow Lift with incisions as small as 3–5 mm, employing a "no-tension layer-to-layer suturing technique" that hides the incision inside the lip, leaving no visible scar postoperatively; M-shaped lips and cupid's bow formation designed according to facial golden proportions, with dynamic adjustments based on lip muscle movement patterns; cleft lip repair utilizing an "intra-lip incision + muscle reorganization" technique, concealing scars within the vermilion border. Other areas of expertise include facial and body contouring, hyaluronic acid anti-aging treatments and facial fillers, breast augmentation, double eyelid surgery, and fat grafting (combining hyaluronic acid with nanopurified autologous fat in lip enhancement projects). Key technical features include natural aesthetics, dynamic design, precise suturing, and the use of composite materials.
