Other in Seoul

TheLine Plastic Surgery, located on the 4th, 5th and 6th floors of the Dongnam Building at 65 Garosu-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, offers a small group of specialized procedures that fall outside the usual body-contouring or facial surgery categories. For patients researching an other treatment Seoul option, this page introduces three services grouped together because they share a common technical basis rather than a common body area: SVF, or stromal vascular fraction, derived from the patient's own fat tissue. These include a contracted nose treatment, a knee treatment, and a set of personalized SVF-based products.

What these treatments are

The treatments listed under this category are not standard surgical procedures. Instead, they use SVF, a mixture of cells separated from a patient's own fat, which is then applied or injected depending on the treatment goal. The contracted nose treatment is designed for noses that have become tight, stiff, or distorted after previous surgery, using SVF to support tissue softening and remodeling. The knee treatment applies a similar SVF-based approach to joint-related concerns. The SVF private products are a more individualized offering, where a patient's own SVF is processed into personal-use items such as a custom essence or eye drops. Because these are drawn from the patient's own tissue, no two batches are identical, and outcomes are described as variable rather than guaranteed.

Who this category suits

These treatments are generally considered by patients who have already gone through nose surgery and are dealing with contracture, tightness, or a pulled-in appearance that standard revision surgery may not fully resolve. The knee treatment may be of interest to patients looking for a non-surgical, cell-based option related to knee comfort, though it should be discussed in the context of any existing orthopedic diagnosis. The private SVF products are aimed at patients who want a highly personalized skincare or eye-care option built from their own biological material rather than a mass-produced formula. Anyone exploring an other treatment Seoul option should first have realistic expectations discussed directly with the treating doctor, since individual anatomy, healing capacity, and prior surgical history all affect what is achievable.

Who should avoid these treatments

Patients with active infection, uncontrolled systemic disease, or significant bleeding disorders are generally not suitable candidates for fat-derived cell treatments, and this should be confirmed during consultation. Anyone currently pregnant or breastfeeding should postpone elective procedures of this kind until cleared by a physician. Patients seeking a guaranteed cosmetic or medical outcome, or expecting a permanent change to joint structure or nasal cartilage, should understand that SVF-based approaches address specific tissue-level concerns and do not replace corrective surgery when structural correction is needed. Patients with unrealistic timelines for recovery, or those unwilling to attend follow-up visits, may not be well suited to these treatments either.

How a session generally goes

Because these treatments rely on the patient's own fat tissue, the process typically begins with a small-volume fat extraction, usually from an area such as the abdomen or thigh under local anesthesia. The extracted fat is then processed in a laboratory setting to separate the SVF component. At TheLine, this processing is associated with the clinic's SVF Cell Matrix Lab, overseen by Director Cho Jae-ho, who has researched molecular biology since 1994 at a university hospital setting and has extensive experience with fat-based procedures. Once processed, the SVF is either injected into the target area, such as the nose or knee, or formulated into a private-use product. Consultation with the treating doctor beforehand is used to assess anatomy, prior surgical history, and general suitability before any extraction takes place.

Downtime and recovery

Recovery varies by treatment type and by individual healing response. Fat extraction sites may show mild bruising or soreness for several days to about one to two weeks. For the contracted nose treatment, mild swelling or tightness around the injection area is common in the initial period, with gradual softening reported over subsequent weeks; however, the pace and degree of improvement differs between patients. For the knee treatment, some temporary soreness at the injection site is possible. The SVF private products, being topical or drop-based, generally do not involve procedural downtime beyond the initial fat extraction required to create them. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for a period as advised by the treating doctor and attend any scheduled follow-up appointments.

Pricing

Specific pricing for the contracted nose treatment, knee treatment, and SVF private products is not published here, as costs depend on the extent of the procedure, the amount of SVF processed, and individual consultation findings. Patients considering an other treatment Seoul option should request a personalized quote directly from the clinic. Any figure provided during consultation should be confirmed as inclusive or exclusive of VAT, and patients should ask whether the initial consultation fee is separate from the treatment cost.

Safety

As with any procedure involving tissue extraction and reinjection, there are inherent risks including infection, uneven results, temporary discomfort, and variation in how the body responds to processed SVF. TheLine's team includes Director Cho Jae-ho, with 32 years of surgical experience and more than 80,000 liposuction procedures performed since 2007, and Director Jung Yu-seok, who has 31 years of surgical experience with a focus on fat and SVF-related work. Doctors Kim Yun-geun and Baek Jung-jae are also part of the clinical team. Patients should disclose their full medical history, including prior nose surgeries or joint conditions, so the treating doctor can assess whether a given procedure is appropriate. No treatment outcome can be promised in advance, and results are understood to differ from person to person.

Frequently asked questions

What does SVF mean in these treatments?

SVF stands for stromal vascular fraction, a cell mixture separated from a small amount of the patient's own fat tissue, which is then used in the nose treatment, knee treatment, or private product formulations.

Is the contracted nose treatment a substitute for revision surgery?

It is not automatically a substitute; it is generally discussed as an option for tightness or contracture after previous nose surgery, and whether it is appropriate depends on individual anatomy assessed during consultation.

How long does recovery take after fat extraction for these treatments?

Most patients notice bruising or soreness at the extraction site for roughly one to two weeks, though healing time varies by individual and extraction volume.

Can I get exact pricing before visiting the clinic?

Because pricing depends on individual assessment and treatment scope, exact costs are typically provided only after a consultation, and any quote should be checked for VAT inclusion.

Who performs these SVF-based treatments at the clinic?

The clinical team includes Director Cho Jae-ho and Director Jung Yu-seok, both with long-term surgical experience related to fat and SVF work, along with Doctor Kim Yun-geun and Doctor Baek Jung-jae.
