Yun Jin Myung

Yun Jin Myung’s documented specialty work centers on lower eyelid surgery, including technique development for elderly patients. At Wonderful Plastic Surgery, she is listed among the surgeons, and the clinic states that the same board-certified specialist who meets patients at the first consultation stays with them through surgery and recovery. Her medical staff profile highlights a 2022 “Archives of Plastic Surgery Best paper” for a new lower blepharoplasty technique in elderly patients using bony fixation of the sub-orbicularis oculi fat pad. Beyond eyelid surgery, her publication record includes reconstructive topics such as reconstruction of Merkel cell carcinoma of the cheek with multidisciplinary cooperation and surgical outcomes of suprafascial and subfascial radial forearm free flaps in head and neck reconstruction. The same medical staff materials also list additional 2022 recognition from the Korean Society of Hand Surgery: a free paper session best prize and a “harnony with senior and young session” encouragement award. For international patients evaluating where to travel, Wonderful Plastic Surgery notes that consultations can be booked via DM or WhatsApp, and that online consultation is free. English and interpretation availability is also stated in the clinic’s surgeon lineup content.
