Because no two scars in the world
are ever alike
We work not on the mark left on the surface but on the tangled layers beneath the skin.
A doctor who knows how surgery is structured goes back to the cause of the scar first.
A scar is not about the surface, but its
layers.
We look at the pitted floor and the surface texture separately.
Looking again at what remains,
31 years
We treat scars, burns, foreign bodies and surgical complications.

Understanding
First,
we understand the scar
Scars differ by cause, depth and skin type. Rather than repeating the same treatment, we first identify what kind of scar it is.
- CauseInjury, surgery, acne, burns, treatment complications
- DepthHow deep it reaches: epidermis, dermis or fat
- ShapeDepressed scars, hypertrophic scars, keloids, discolored scars
Surgery & scar
Surgical scars
make sense only when you know the surgery
- Incision and sutureThe cause of a scar lies in the surgery
Only by knowing how each surgery is incised and sutured can you see why a scar remains.
- Surgery and restorationWe have treated both together
Since 1995 Bonita has treated both plastic surgery and scar restoration.

Before your visit
What helps to tell us before your consultation
The order of treatment depends on what caused the scar and the treatments you have had. Recovery also varies with the type and extent of treatment, so we plan it around your schedule in consultation.
- Cause and timingWhether the scar came from acne, surgery, an accident or a burn, and when
- Treatments so farTreatments you have had so far, such as laser, filler or surgery, and when
- What bothers you mostWhich bothers you most: depression, raised areas, redness, color or tightness
- Upcoming eventsAny upcoming events, such as a wedding or business trip, that recovery needs to fit around
- PhotosYou can also send photos of the scar via KakaoTalk
