Professional background
Yujin identifies Tae-jo Kang as chief director and a plastic surgeon. His official biography lists a visiting professor role at Yonsei University College of Medicine and training at UPMC in the United States and Berlin University College of Medicine. It describes fat grafting, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery and stem cell-related work among his interests.
Professional affiliations and fat grafting work
The official biography lists memberships in Korean plastic and reconstructive surgery, aesthetic plastic surgery and craniofacial associations. It identifies a Harvest-jet key-doctor role and describes the practice’s involvement in training for autologous fat grafting. These details make the fat harvesting and transfer technique a useful subject for consultation. Ask how the proposed method affects the actual surgical steps, and which features of your anatomy influence the choice.
Consultation focus
His published profile is particularly relevant to patients comparing conventional fat transfer with a cell-enriched approach. Ask about donor areas, realistic volume, processing steps and the reasons for choosing this method in your anatomy.
Questions for your appointment
How will donor and recipient sites be planned? What volume change is realistic after swelling settles? Is a second procedure possible or likely? What are the anesthesia and complication-management arrangements?
Plan both sides of a fat transfer
For facial or breast fat transfer, the donor area is part of the operation and deserves its own discussion. Explain any previous liposuction, contour irregularity or scarring. Ask where fat would be harvested, how the recipient site will be assessed and what amount of change is achievable without overcorrection. If you have had previous breast surgery, bring implant details and operative records. Discuss the expected course of swelling and how the team decides when a result is mature enough to evaluate. Confirm who reviews you before departure and what records you will receive for ongoing care.
