30-Day Recovery Reflection – Girin Plastic Surgery, Seoul

It’s been a full month since my surgeries at Girin Plastic Surgery — mini facelift, mini tummy tuck, under-eye fat repositioning, and incisional double eyelid surgery — and I’m thrilled with how everything is coming together.

Face: The bruising has completely faded, and there’s just a bit of tightness around my jawline and ears that’s easing more every day.
Eyes: The eyelids are still a little puffy, but the folds are looking more natural and symmetrical as time goes by.
Abdomen: My stomach feels flatter and more toned, with only minimal soreness when touched.

What amazes me most is how each week brings subtle improvements — the swelling continues to go down, and my overall appearance is becoming softer and more balanced. Dr. Jeon Ji In’s meticulous technique really shows in the details of my results.

The entire Girin staff has been incredibly supportive, checking in on my recovery and reassuring me that everything is progressing perfectly. To anyone waiting for full results — be patient, it truly gets better every single day!

Dr. Song Jae Yong made my breast the perfect shape, they are so soft and natural

My nose, which I was super nervous about, Dr. Jeon Ji In really listened to my concerns and did such a beautiful job! I now have my dream nose and still look like myself 🤍

Girin and it’s wonderful staff made me feel so at ease and still check in with me now to see how my recovery is, that’s how much they really care about their patients

I have always had issues with my eyelids and eyebrows drooping, particularly my right eyelid. This has lead to issues with my vision, due to my eyes being partially covered and the extra corneal pressure associated with this.

This issue, combined with a planned trip to South Korea, led me to look for a plastic surgeon who could help me. I spent a lengthy period of time searching for the best surgeon to help me, and I ended up choosing to have this done through Girin Plastic Surgery. I did consider a number of others, but overall, Girin was the highest rated for the surgery that I needed.

From the beginning, the staff at Girin were fantastic. The online consultation was very easy. I described the issue that I was having, and provided some photos of my face and eyes. From this, a surgeon at Girin was able to provide me with a recommendation on the procedures to be carried out, namely a forehead reduction, brow lift, ptosis correction, and hair transplant to cover the scarring from the forehead reduction.

Naturally, I had a number of questions about the procedures and potential alternatives that could be done. For every question, Min (my main contact at Girin) had a professional and quick answer. We were also able to organise my in-person consultation and surgery date before my arrival in Korea, and Min was able to organise for them to be on the same day!

Once the consultation/surgery date came around, I arrived for my consultation and we immediately greeted by Anne, another fantastic staff member who would be looking after me on the day. I was nervous ahead of the surgery, but Anne was always able to answer any questions and calm my nerves.

We held my consultation with two separate surgeons. Dr Jeon Ji In was a specialist surgeon who would handle my ptosis correction, forehead reduction and brow lift. We ended up deciding that a forehead reduction would be unnecessary and that a brow lift and ptosis correction would be enough to correct my issue.

I was very impressed with the consultation experience. The surgeons really took the time to listen to my concerns and issues, and were very collaborative when deciding how my eyes and hairline would look after the procedure.

Thanks to the timing of the day, I was able to begin the procedures almost immediately after the end of the consultation! The surgery took place on the floor above the main consultation offices, and the facilities were immaculate and as professional as any hospital. Anne remained with me for the entire period from the beginning of the consultation until the moment the anesthetic started to be administered.

The aftercare in the weeks following the surgery was fantastic too. In addition to the provided aftercare instructions, for all the questions I had about how to care for my wounds, Min and Anne were able to give me a prompt response.

I cannot recommend Girin Plastic Surgery enough. The entire process was extremely professional and caring, and I could tell that the surgical staff there are experts at providing solutions while ensuring that the end result is aesthetic.

In particular, Min and Anne were fantastic to deal with. If you decide to have a procedure done, I hope that you get to deal with them too!

One-Week Post-Op Review — Eyelid Surgery
I had ✅ upper eyelid surgery ✅ eyelid lift and ✅ fat removal from the upper eyelid.
I found the clinic through recommendations from friends nearby, and the surgery was performed by Dr. Jeon Ji In. Fortunately, after the procedure I had minimal swelling, almost no bruising, no pain, and most importantly, I am very happy with the shape of my eyelids — natural and perfectly fitting. Anyone who didn’t see me before would never guess I had eyelid surgery 😂.

It’s true that eyes are the window to the soul!
I recommend this clinic to anyone who wants beautiful eyes.

Two-Week Post-Op Review — Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
I visited the clinic for a consultation because my breasts were significantly sagging. The doctor recommended a mastopexy with an anchor incision.
Before pregnancy, my breasts were round and beautiful. I did not breastfeed directly but pumped milk, which caused sagging.

I learned about Girin Clinic through Facebook and decided to consult with Dr. Jeon Ji In, a specialist in breast lifts. After the consultation, I trusted the doctor’s expertise.

The surgery was painless, and I rested for about five days afterward. Now my breasts are lifted, no longer sagging, and I am very satisfied with the results.
Thank you, doctor!
