This ASPS Global Partners Webinar highlights the surgical advancements and clinical insight from leading plastic surgeons in South Korea. Dr. Kyong-Je Woo introduces a refined protocol for using ICG lymphography to optimize lympho-venous anastomosis in patients with upper extremity lymphedema. Dr. Tae Hwan Park explores outcomes of keloid scar management using surgical excision combined with hypo-fractionated radiotherapy in Asian patients. Dr. Young Jin Park presents an in-depth look at the evolution, principles, and long-term outcomes of thread lifting, with emphasis on structural support and repositioning. Moderated by Dr. Hak Chang, this session blends evidence-based practice with innovative clinical techniques from across Korea.

Intended Audience
Plastic surgeons, reconstructive microsurgeons, aesthetic specialists, and residents interested in microsurgical mapping for lymphedema, scar management in Asian populations, and advanced thread lifting techniques.
