51+ Leading Medical Clinics for Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery in South Korea

At 63 I was feeling that I looked tired and could see how my skin had lost it's elasticity and was sagging especially around my neck, cheeks and jawline. I'm not someone who treats themselves to beauty treatments and I don't do fillers, botox, etc so thinking of a deep plane facelift & neck lift was huge for me. I came across Dr Ryu's name while researching surgeons who were highly skilled in this procedure. This plastic surgery journey was so foreign to me so to find a surgeon with his level of qualifications and also have experience with western faces gave me great peace of mind. I had my surgery in late December and am delighted with my results. I wanted a natural look and still wanted to look like 'me'. This was really important. I flew to Seoul from Australia and from the minute I walked in for surgery I was given Dr Ryu's and his staff undivided attention. They make you feel at ease and really look after you. The care I received during and after my surgery was nothing short of amazing. I also expected some pain after the surgery but was surprised that it was painless and I can barely see my stitches, even at 4 weeks. This blows me away and is testament to Dr Ryu's incredible skill. This was by far the best decision I could have made and a huge thank you to DR Ryu and the team.

Let me start off by saying that the staff here is WONDERFUL! They are truly caring and will be with you throughout your whole journey!! With that said, I beat myself for not doing my research. They are more of facial and breast cosmetics and not body. I initially had my first surgery on April 2025. This included Tummy Tuck (no lipo!! Wish they told me), arm lift and breast lift and augmentation. This was done with Dr. In. I literally cried the day after surgery because I could already tell that sooooooooo muchhhh skin was still left on my arm lift. They told me to wait and heal because it was swollen but it was obviously loose skin. I waited and messaged them in May voicing how unhappy I was with the arm lift. So much skin is left. My tummy tuck has a bulge. I got that checked with my doctor and they told me that it was due to how the muscle repair was done. My breast bottomed out. On Oct 2025, they agreed to re-do my breast with smaller implants. Again, they are so sweet about it. Of course for a fee. The revision was done by Dr. Im. Again, amazing amazing doctor. So sweet and kind. But when we are paying over 30K, we expect results. During this surgery, I decided to add thigh lift. Needless to say, I had complications with the thigh lift. I went back in Nov and they did their best in revising it. It looks so much better. No ideal scars because of the revision but I was so happy Dr. Im agreed to re-do thighs. During this time I did ask about my arm lift again and Dr. Im agreed that a lof of skin was left. He could not conduct the arm lift and thigh lift revision at that same time. Now I'm working with another doctor for arm revision because it's like nothing was taken out. I still have the "bat wings." I'm so grateful that I life in Japan because there is no way I could have gone back and forth for the revisions if I did not live close so please take that under consideration. The staff were so kind throughout this journey put the outcome did not meet expectations FOR ME! I saw a lof of people get facial work done and they looked amazing! Just do your research and make sure the clinic you go with is an expect at that you are looking for. It's way too much money for it not to be the results you want/ expected.

Gangnam Cha Medical Center's main office is an old building, so parking space is limited and narrow. We operate a separate parking center. From the age of 30, I have been receiving regular health checkups, and before and after pregnancy, I have used Gangnam Samsung Medical Center health checkups, Gangnam Severance health checkups, Seoul Samsung Health Checkup Center, Cha Hospital Main Hospital Internal Medicine, Women's Medicine Center checkups, Gangnam Chow Women's Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Center, and Ilsan Cha pre-screenings. I did it. I visited four Cha Hospitals between 2021 and 2022. The facilities are comfortable in the following order: Ilsan CHA > Gangnam CHA Women's Hospital > Main Hospital. Today, I received treatment from Professor Yuri Kim of the Department of Internal Medicine. I was satisfied with the professional response of the medical staff and staff in all four branches

(Translated by Google) I used their services for three-point facelift, nose, and eye surgery. The price was reasonable and the treatment was thorough. I developed a fever after the treatment, but they treated it by giving me antibiotics and an IV drip. I\'m very satisfied. I\'d like to use their services again. (Original) 輪郭3点、鼻、目整形で利用しました。 お値段もリーズナブルで施術も丁寧だっだと思います。 施術後熱が出たのですが抗生剤や点滴を打って対応もしてくれました。 とても満足しています。 また利用したいと思います。

원장님과 스태프분 모두 친철하시고 공간도 넓고 편해요. 20년 넘게 써마지 전문가써마 지를 받아야 돼요! The dean and staff are very friendly, and the space is spacious and comfortable. If you want to do Phoenix Radio, of course you have to find an expert with more than 20 years of experience! The price is much cheaper than in Taiwan~

I was introduced to HERSHE through Gangnam Medical Concierge for several concerns on my face eg, anti aging, smile lines removal, double chin removal, and overall skin rejuvenation. The experience was very private and customized, unlike other clinics i’ve seen online, where you share preparation rooms and MU removal with others. I was brought into a room for private consultation (english consultant and Korean with translation with doctor). I explained all my concerns and they’ve listed down every single recommendation with individual prices, so that you can decide what best suits yourself (and your budget). Due to the multiple procedures, i was recommended to be sedated so that i feel less pain. I was prepped for sedation in individual rooms for clothes change,MU removal - you also have a private recovery room which I woke up in after the procedure. What’s most thoughtful was that the buzzer was placed in your hand, and immediately when you wake up (albeit a little lost), you know you can get assistance quickly. They’ve throroughly explained through what to expect during recovery etc, medication was provided. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable experience.

The checking is precise and the staff here are very nice! A pleasant experience so far!

Raquel at Placidway was beyond amazing. She helped me connect with different clinics and continuously followed up with me. Her concern for my comfort and safety was prominent in her regular check-ins with me; which I was so grateful for. Placidway definitely hires the most caring and compassionate people to assist with clients in need of navigating through the world of plastic surgery. It's almost impossible to manage the research on your own. I chose Limo Plastic Surgery, because Dr. Kwon was the ONLY surgeon who took time to speak to me in person over Zoom. Not only did he show up, he continued to consult with me AFTER the one hour consultation was up. He answered all of my questions that day and more questions afterwards to ensure I was confident with my decision. He showed so much kindness, compassion and knowledge that he was the obvious choice for my surgery. He clearly cares about his patients and has decades of experience to perform the procedures excellently. His English translator Jessie was absolutely phenomenal!! She went above and beyond to ensure I was well taken care of before, during and after my procedure. She practically held my hand the entire way. I couldn't have managed this trip and surgery without her. The entire experience went so smoothly. I was comfortable the entire time and ecstatic with my care and results. I highly recommend Placidway and Limo Plastic Surgery.

The interior of Ruby was nice. Even the consultation room was very spacious and nicely decorated. Aside from the beauty consultant, there was also another staff who was constantly with us to assist. The consultation with the doctor was brief but comprehensive. I want to commend the doctor who did my consultation because he was so friendly and patient, and really took his time to explain everything to me. I constantly asked if he could do some of my pegs and he kindly explained what he thought would look better on me. I felt safe.

Amazing experience with the staff

I had a wonderful experience at RIZ Laser Clinic. The staff was kind, and the laser treatment was quick and painless. I noticed great results with little downtime. Highly recommend!

I had a full facelift with Dr. Lee Jeong Min and rhinoplasty with Dr. Choi Eun Kyu at Urban Plastic Surgery, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Dr. Lee lifted and tightened my face in such a natural way — I still look like myself, just refreshed and younger. Dr. Choi did an amazing job on my nose. It looks so balanced and fits my face perfectly now. Both doctors were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The staff were also so friendly and supportive, always checking in and making sure I was doing okay. My recovery went smoothly, and I’m already loving the results. If you’re thinking about facial surgery, I definitely recommend Urban. It was such a positive experience for me from start to finish.
