A great surgeon is someone who looks at your facial structure and\u2014most importantly\u2014tells you “NO”<\/strong> when a procedure isn’t right for you. If they promise perfection without explaining the “how,” they aren’t the one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"plastic](\"https:\/\/www.seoulgijibae.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pexels-olly-3779696-1024x683.webp\")
