Combination Surgeries in Korea (Full Makeover Guide)
Combination surgery—often called a
“full makeover”—is very common in Korea. Instead of doing one procedure at a time, multiple surgeries are performed together to achieve overall facial or body harmony.

This guide explains how it works and what to expect.


What Is Combination Surgery?

πŸ” Definition
• Multiple procedures done in
one surgical session
• Designed to improve
overall balance—not just one feature


Common Combinations
• Eyes + nose
• Nose + chin
• Eyes + nose + contouring (full face)


πŸ‘‰ Goal = harmonized, complete transformation


Most Popular Combination Packages

1) Eyes + Nose (Starter Combo)
• Double eyelid + rhinoplasty
• Most common combination


πŸ‘‰ Best for overall facial improvement


2) Nose + Chin (Profile Correction)
• Rhinoplasty + chin augmentation
• Improves
side profile balance


3) Full Face (Eyes + Nose + Contouring)
• Eyes + nose + jaw/chin/cheekbone
• Major transformation


πŸ‘‰ Often called a “full makeover”


4) Contouring + Fat Grafting
• Bone structure + volume enhancement
• Creates
smaller face + youthful softness


5) Body Combo (Lipo + Fat Transfer)
• Liposuction + fat grafting (hips, face)
• Reshapes body proportions


Why Combination Surgery Is Popular in Korea

balance between features
