A focused approach to rhinoplasty, shared internationally
Dr. Taek Kyun Kim of THE PLUS Plastic Surgery spoke at K.A.T 2026 on October 4, 2026, at Hong Bang International University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
His presentation introduced rhinoplasty using 3D-printed silicone implants, bringing an approach that considers individual nasal form to an audience of medical professionals.
Looking closely at the individual nose
Dr. Kim presented “Introduction of 3D-printed Silicone Implant in Rhinoplasty.”
The central idea is more than the name of a technology: it is considering individual nasal form in implant design. For someone exploring rhinoplasty, an important question is how an approach may be assessed in relation to their own anatomy and goals.
By presenting this specific topic to fellow medical professionals, Dr. Kim brought a considered perspective on individualized rhinoplasty into an international academic discussion.
A presentation that prompted practical questions
Weekly Chosun’s report from Vietnam highlighted Dr. Kim’s presentation and noted questions from local attendees about the time and cost involved in 3D printing.
Those questions moved the discussion toward practical considerations. Dr. Kim’s role was to explain a rhinoplasty approach to professional peers and engage with the issues it raised in their clinical setting.
Bringing academic focus to individual treatment planning
Every patient brings different goals and a different starting point. At THE PLUS Plastic Surgery, treatment planning considers the individual nose together with overall facial balance.
Dr. Kim’s K.A.T 2026 presentation reflects that attention to the individual. It brought a focused rhinoplasty topic beyond the consultation room and into discussion with medical colleagues working in another country.
Thoughtful rhinoplasty begins with continued study and exchange. THE PLUS Plastic Surgery will continue to connect academic dialogue with a careful approach to treatment planning.
