Professional background

SC301 identifies Dong-jin Shin as representative director. His official biography lists training at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, a previous directorship at Apgujeong Tiara Plastic Surgery Clinic and a founding president role in the Korean Stem Cell Plastic Surgery Society. His listed interests include fat grafting and breast procedures involving fat-derived cells.

Research and professional activity

His dedicated profile lists memberships in Korean and international plastic surgery societies and describes work involving cell extraction and fat graft survival. It also reports a specialized laboratory and patents relating to fat processing. These details help frame technical questions, but neither a patent nor a laboratory establishes the expected result for an individual patient. Ask for the study that most closely matches the actual technique, treatment area and follow-up being proposed for you.

Consultation focus

Patients considering a cell-enriched fat transfer should ask for a clear description of the processing method and its relevance to their desired result. Published research and clinic statistics should be discussed with their methods and limitations.

Questions for your appointment

How is the graft processed in my case? What study best reflects this exact technique? How are retained volume and complications measured? If revision is needed, who performs it and what costs apply?

Interpreting a proposed breast plan

Explain whether your goal is a modest volume increase, correction after earlier surgery or a change in breast position. Those goals can require different approaches. Ask how donor fat availability, existing tissue and previous procedures affect the recommendation. If the clinic presents a retention percentage, clarify how volume was measured and when, rather than assuming all early fullness will remain. Discuss the possibility of another session, the method used to evaluate the final result and the policy for managing asymmetry or a disappointing outcome.
