Dr. Andrew Lee: Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
Dr. Andrew Lee has visited EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in the past to observe facial bone surgery. Dr. Andrew Lee has done his medical studies at Columbia University and residency at John Hopkins, along with a fellowship program at Boston Medical Center. Through a recommendation by another doctor, Dr. Andrew Lee sought out to learn special surgical techniques from Dr. Jong-Yun Kim. As some techniques may not be as popular in the US, doctors from around the globe can observe the methods used for orthognathic double jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery in South Korea.
"A lot of details go into each surgery. There is a lot of planning involved before the surgery and he (Dr. Kim) showed me all the things that are involved before the surgery to make sure that the patient gets the most optimal outcome."
-Dr. Andrew Lee
Surgery is not performed simply by looking at a patient's Xrays and CT scans and making reductions from the size of the bones. Careful planning is needed by the surgeon. That is why doctors at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery make sure to plan out a surgical plan that will cater to each patient's needs so that surgery can be performed safely and effectively.
Dr. Jong-Yun Kim and Dr. Hee-Jin Shin have
interacted with countless patients throughout the years. By identifying the
patient’s symptoms and listening to their demands, they are able to give a
precise diagnosis and devise a constructive plan. Dr. Kim and Dr. Shin strongly
believe that appropriate surgical methods should be used to ensure the safety of
the patients, which is why honesty and expertise in facial anatomy are very
important. They will only perform facial bone surgery that is effective to the
patients after having gone through a detailed and elaborate examination of the
facial bone status.
