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 categories of face or body surgery. For patients searching for other treatment Seoul options, this page introduces three such offerings: Contracted Nose Treatment, Knee Treatment, and SVF Private Products. All three are built around the clinic's work with SVF, or stromal vascular fraction, a component derived from a patient's own fat tissue.

What these treatments are

The "Other" category at TheLine groups procedures that use SVF-based approaches rather than standard surgical techniques. Contracted Nose Treatment is designed for patients who have a tightened or previously operated nose and are looking for a non-surgical or adjunct approach using SVF. Knee Treatment applies a similar SVF-based method to joint concerns in the knee area. SVF Private Products take this one step further, creating personalized items such as a custom essence or eye drops made from the patient's own SVF material. Each of these falls under the broader idea of other treatment Seoul patients may consider when standard surgical revision is not their first choice, or when they want a complementary option alongside prior procedures.

Because these treatments rely on the patient's own tissue, the exact composition and outcome will vary from person to person. The clinic notes that Director Cho Jae-ho has overseen the TheLine SVF Cell Matrix Lab and has performed a large volume of liposuction procedures since 2007, and Director Jung Yu-seok specializes in fat and SVF work. Doctors Kim Yun-geun and Baek Jung-jae are also part of the clinical team, though specific procedure assignments should be confirmed at consultation.

Who this may suit

Contracted Nose Treatment may be considered by patients who have had a previous rhinoplasty and are now dealing with tightness, retraction, or a nose that feels stiff or overly firm. Knee Treatment may be of interest to those exploring SVF-based support for knee discomfort or wear, rather than jumping directly to more invasive joint procedures. SVF Private Products may appeal to patients who already understand SVF concepts and want a personalized skincare or eye-care product derived from their own cells, often as a complement to other treatments received at the clinic.

These are not treatments for every patient. A consultation with the clinic's medical team is the only reliable way to determine whether a given SVF-based option is appropriate for a specific case.

Who should avoid these treatments

Patients with active infections, uncontrolled systemic disease, or bleeding disorders are generally not good candidates for SVF-based extraction or injection procedures. Anyone currently pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss timing separately with a physician. Patients expecting guaranteed or permanent correction of nasal contracture or joint symptoms should also reconsider, since individual healing responses vary and results are not uniform across patients. As with any procedure involving fat harvesting, patients with very low body fat may have limited material available for SVF processing, which can affect feasibility.

How the session goes

While specific protocols differ by treatment, SVF-based procedures at TheLine generally begin with a small-volume fat extraction, often from the abdomen or another donor area, followed by laboratory processing to isolate the SVF component. For Contracted Nose Treatment, the processed SVF may then be introduced to the affected nasal tissue under the guidance of the treating doctor. Knee Treatment follows a comparable extraction and processing step before application to the knee area. For SVF Private Products, the isolated material is instead formulated into personalized items such as an essence or eye drops, intended for topical or ophthalmic use as advised by the clinic.

The consultation stage typically includes a review of the patient's medical history, an examination of the area of concern, and a discussion of what can realistically be expected. Exact session length depends on the treatment chosen and is best confirmed directly with the clinic.

Downtime and recovery

Recovery expectations differ by treatment type and by individual healing patterns, so the information below should be treated as general guidance rather than a fixed timeline. Fat extraction sites, however minor, may show some bruising or tenderness for several days. Contracted Nose Treatment recipients may notice mild swelling in the nasal area that typically settles over the following one to two weeks, though this varies. Knee Treatment patients may experience temporary soreness at the injection site. SVF Private Products, being topical or drop-form items, do not involve a surgical downtime in the traditional sense, but any new skin or eye product should be introduced gradually and monitored for irritation.

Patients are encouraged to follow the aftercare instructions given by their treating doctor and to report any unusual symptoms promptly.

Pricing

Specific pricing for Contracted Nose Treatment, Knee Treatment, and SVF Private Products is not published on this page. Costs depend on the volume of SVF processed, the complexity of the case, and the specific product formulation requested. Patients should request a personalized quote during consultation, and should note that VAT and consultation fees may apply separately and can vary by case.

Safety

SVF-based treatments use a patient's own tissue, which generally reduces certain risks associated with foreign materials, but this does not eliminate the possibility of infection, uneven results, or a need for repeat sessions. No outcome from any other treatment Seoul clinics offer, including these, can be guaranteed, and individual response to SVF processing is not identical from one patient to the next. Patients traveling from abroad should plan for at least one in-person consultation before committing to a treatment date, and should discuss any current medications or health conditions with the clinic in advance.

Frequently asked questions

What does SVF stand for and why is it used in these treatments?

SVF stands for stromal vascular fraction, a component isolated from a patient's own fat tissue that is used in Contracted Nose Treatment, Knee Treatment, and SVF Private Products at this clinic.

Is Contracted Nose Treatment a substitute for revision rhinoplasty surgery?

It is offered as an SVF-based option for contracted or previously operated noses, but whether it is suitable instead of or alongside surgical revision depends on the individual case and should be assessed by the treating doctor.

How long do results from Knee Treatment typically last?

Duration of effect varies from patient to patient, and the clinic does not state a fixed or guaranteed timeframe, so this should be discussed directly during consultation.

Can I get pricing for these treatments online before visiting?

Exact prices are not listed publicly, since they depend on individual factors such as SVF volume and formulation, so a consultation is needed for an accurate quote.
