Testimonial of Rumanian rhinoplasty patient

“From the first day at Hanabi clinic, I felt comfortable and in the right place.

They do a bone structure scan before and consultation which made me believe they take things seriously.

Dr. Chang Geun-Uck speaks English really well and is always inviting to ask him more questions, so far the results have been impressibe and natural, the surgery wasn’t painful either, it went smoothly. 

The nurse is super gentle and nice. 

Thy offer free laser and O2 Chanber therapy for quicker recovery.

I would definitely recommend it.”

Testimonial of Indonesian patient

“I was having a severe deviated nose case both inside and outside. I had a consultation at 5 different clinics at Korea but none meets my expectations (their before after picture was not enough to convicnce me too).

But when I visit Hanabi clinic and have the consultation with Dr. Chang Geun-Uck. 

I was instantly impressed by the way he present the method. 

Seems that he have a tons of good knowledge, the before after picture at the office was a perfect match to my case (a lot of them) and the most important thing is Dr. Chang is patiently listen to what I want and what I need (example, don’t touch the turbinate because I am affraid of ENS).

It’s definitely worth my time, money, and worth traveling from my country to south Korea.

Also they give the aftercare too, oxygen chamber and redlight treatment (which is expensive) for free.

Good job Dr. Chang.

5 stars” 

Testimonial of Australian rhinoplasty patient

“I had an amazaing experience and very happy with the results”

After much thought and consideration, my mother and I finally decided to go with Hanabi rhinoplasty clinic after meeting several surgeons.

Hanabi rhinoplasty clinic specialises in rhinoplasty only.

Dr. Chang speaks very good English, gentle and soft spoken, explains everything medically and very thoroughly and does not force procedures on you.

Dr. Chang Geun Uck is a highly qualified and experienced rhinoplasty surgeon.

I have had a rhinoplasty revision with Dr. Chang, 3 weeks post op, I am far out from the final results but I know for sure that great improvements were made (loving it so far and it will get better after 3 months). 

My mom is also loving the results. 

We cant thank enough to Dr Chang as well as his team that assisted us all the way from start to finish.
