A surprise visit from the 75‑million‑star Issei and the behind‑the‑scenes story of his nose surgery.
A world‑famous SNS star visited my clinic recently! He is an amazing influencer with 75 million followers, none other than Issei.
Since he’s such a global star, I thought he would come with a whole team of interpreters and staff,
but surprisingly, he just walked in alone wearing comfortable shorts. Every time he came for treatment, he visited just like a friendly neighborhood guy.
“Oh? Will he be okay without an interpreter?” I worried, but he simply turned on his smartphone and communicated effortlessly using AI simultaneous translation! Thanks to that,
we exchanged jokes throughout the treatment and had a truly enjoyable session. Even though he’s a 75‑million‑follower star, he was incredibly humble, bright, playful, and truly charming.

Here, you can see the photo taken exactly one week after the surgery when the stitches were removed.
At that time, some swelling still remained, so he felt a bit awkward,
but the surgery went so well that he happily returned to Japan.
If you look at the pre‑surgery photo, the tip of the nose was drooping downward and the hump was protruding.
But look at the post‑surgery result! From the side, the nose tip is lifted smoothly and beautifully.
Even from the front, the nasal bone line looks slim and refined.

And two days later, I received an urgent message from Japan: “Emergency SOS! Phone nose strike!”
The world‑famous star Issei, who had returned to Japan, contacted me in a panic saying he got injured!
He was lying in bed watching his own video on his smartphone, dropped it from his hand,
and the phone fell straight onto his nose.
It had only been one week since the surgery! I was shocked when I heard the news.
“Doctor, did my nose collapse? What do I do?” he messaged me on SNS,
and this (showing the photo) is the picture the Japanese hospital sent after treating him urgently.
As you can see, it’s red and swollen, and the suture line was hit so hard it even tore a little.
But! You know me. When it comes to surgery, I make it incredibly strong and stable.
Originally, Issei had a droopy, humped nose, but without inserting any artificial implant inside the nostrils, I shaped the line using only cartilage tying, tip correction, and hump reduction.
At first, Issei asked,
“Is this really possible without an implant?” and I told him, “Trust me and wait. It really works.”
Since I did everything without adding anything, unlike other clinics, he was deeply impressed.
Because I had tied the cartilage firmly without any implant, even when the phone hit his nose hard, the shape didn’t collapse at all and stayed perfectly intact! That’s thanks to how solidly I performed the surgery.
(laughs) The Japanese plastic surgeon also treated him well, so after seeing the photo on SNS, I reassured him, “You don’t need to come back to Korea. You’re fine.”
Now, shall we take a look at the final surgical result everyone has been curious about?
In the pre‑surgery photo, the tip of the nose was drooping and the hump was protruding.
But look at the post‑surgery result! From the side, the nose tip is lifted beautifully and smoothly.
Even from the front, the nasal bone line falls slim and refined.
He already had a handsome face, but after surgery he looks much more defined and striking.
He almost had a big accident, but thankfully the nose shape stayed beautifully intact.
Congratulations on your amazing nose, Issei!
