Dr. Kim Sun-Hong (Sunhong Kim) is a board-certified ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) specialist and rhinoplasty surgeon currently practicing at GNG Hospital in Gangnam, Seoul.
After completing her residency in otolaryngology at Catholic University and a clinical fellowship in rhinology at Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital, Dr. Kim developed deep expertise in both the aesthetic and functional dimensions of nasal surgery — including open rhinoplasty with rib cartilage, modified extracorporeal septoplasty, and endoscopic sinus procedures.
What sets Dr. Kim apart is her eye for the whole face. Before any surgical plan is made, she studies each patient's unique facial structure — bone structure, facial proportions, skin tone, and even how they naturally present themselves day-to-day. Makeup habits, styling choices, and personal aesthetic preferences all inform the conversation. The goal is a nose that looks like it has always belonged to your face.
She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at Catholic University focusing on olfactory function — reflecting her commitment to evidence-based, medically grounded care. Her research has been published in leading journals including Laryngoscope, Clinical Otolaryngology, and Cells, and she has contributed a chapter to the ELSEVIER textbook Controversies in Rhinoplasty.
Open rhinoplasty with rib cartilage, dorsal reduction, tip refinement, bridge sculpting. Natural, proportionate results tailored to your facial character — not a templated outcome.
Modified extracorporeal septoplasty and nasal valve correction for patients whose breathing is affected by structural issues. Aesthetics and function addressed together.
Meticulous correction of prior surgical outcomes. CT-based pre-operative evaluation guides each revision plan for safe, precise results.
Minimally invasive treatment for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. CT-based anatomical planning for surgical precision and patient safety.
Fat grafting, forehead lift, and midfacial rejuvenation procedures. Trained under international faculty including European cadaver dissection coursework.
Online pre-operative consultation, surgical planning, and telemedicine follow-up for patients traveling to Seoul. English consultation available.
Every rhinoplasty I perform begins with a thorough functional evaluation. Beauty and breathing are not opposing goals — when approached correctly, they reinforce each other.
My background in ENT and rhinology means I evaluate the nose as a whole — anatomically, functionally, and aesthetically — before any surgical plan is made.
In-depth discussion of your goals, medical history, and facial analysis. Understanding your expectations is the foundation of great results.
Radiological evaluation of nasal anatomy addresses both aesthetic and functional dimensions with surgical precision.
No template procedures. Your plan considers your bone structure, facial proportions, skin characteristics, and personal aesthetic — including how you present yourself day-to-day. A nose that suits your face, not a trend.
Recovery support and monitoring — including telemedicine follow-up for international patients — to ensure optimal healing.
"The goal is never to change who you are — it is to reveal the best version of the face you were born with."
