The practice in context

About TAE PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC

TAE was founded in Haeundae in 2005 by Kim Ki-tae. The clinic describes him as its sole doctor, allowing the consultation and procedure to remain with the same physician. The practice is located on the fourth floor of Gunam Building, 27 Gunam-ro, Haeundae-gu.

Its eye-surgery information makes a useful distinction between repositioning existing under-eye fat and its own fat-correction method, which removes protruding fat and replaces volume using fat from another body area. These approaches should not be treated as interchangeable when comparing quotations.

TAE’s wider practice includes fat grafting, breast surgery, laser treatment and facial rejuvenation. For an eyelid consultation, establish which part of the proposed plan addresses eyelid anatomy and which is an optional treatment for surrounding skin or facial volume.

Published treatment scope

Eyelid procedures

Under-eye fat correction

Under-eye fat contouring

Listed as a combined lower-eye and facial-volume treatment involving fat correction and autologous grafting.

Bespoke eye surgery

An individualized combination of eyelid procedures appears in the clinic’s published service list; the exact components need to be specified in the consultation plan.

Revision eye surgery

Patient questions, answered

Is TAE’s under-eye fat correction identical to fat repositioning?

No. TAE describes removing protruding fat and adding fat harvested from another body area. That differs from moving existing orbital fat. Ask which tissue is removed or added, where grafted fat is obtained and how each component affects the care plan.

Which eyelid procedures does TAE PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC list?

The documented menu includes Under-eye fat correction, Under-eye fat contouring, Bespoke eye surgery and Revision eye surgery. The full procedure section explains the source terminology so you can identify the exact operation when requesting a consultation.
