Before you arrive

If you are injured, do this first.

If bleeding does not stop, the wound is severe, or there is loss of consciousness, call 119 immediately. For manageable cuts, protect the wound and contact us before visiting.

Step 01

Press to stop bleeding

Apply direct pressure

The philosophy of GYEOL

The same stitches can leave a different line.

Closing a wound is only the beginning. The way a wound is repaired can significantly influence how a scar heals. Plastic surgeons routinely perform meticulous suturing and consider factors such as skin tension, wound direction, facial movement, and tissue alignment to help minimize visible scarring.

Scar-conscious closure

Led by board-certified plastic surgeon, precise suturing techniques focused on minimizing visible scarring.

From stitches to scar care

Follow-up guidance is part of the process, not an afterthought.

X-ray / CT if needed

Imaging may be used when fracture or foreign material is suspected.

On-site imaging support

When the wound is more than a surface cut.

If bone injury, embedded glass, or deeper trauma is suspected, X-ray or CT assessment may be considered before treatment.
