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!

I just wanted to pop back in here with an update to my wonderful procedures I had at Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic earlier this year

It has now been 3 months since my surgeries and I honestly couldn’t be happier!

Dr. Song Jae Yong made my breast the perfect shape, they are so soft and natural
and
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 a few other procedures I’d like to get done, and I’m planning to go back as soon as I can!

I just have a double eyelids operation. After 5 days post op, i already can see the result. I’m happy and looking forward to looking even better.
My doctor is Jeon Ji, she is very good and super nice. I have rejuran for my skin as well but it will take sometimes to see the result but overall i‘m very happy.

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!

During the consultation, Dr Song Hoon said he could only extend by a few milimetres on both sides. I was happy to take whatever he could achieve, especially as this was a greater change than anyone else I'd consulted with. But actually, in my opinion, he made quite a dramatic extension on the outer corners
Girin offerred aftercare such as cleaning and stitch removal, but more important to me was that they allowed me to return home early (though I very much appreciate that Girin offers good aftercare for those that can stay in Seoul longer than me).
My healing process looked like: very red and watery eyes and some bruising that improved over about 2 weeks, with sensitivity upon eye movements for the first 3-4 days. I didn't notice any considerable swelling. Someone asked me out on a date on day 2 or 3 or (he did not mind the redness, but it was extremely obvious). I also had an acting job on day 9, and my eye redness just looked like seasonal allergies.
I enjoy the new pink corners to my eyes, and my altered eye shape (more flat, puppy-like). I am also so impressed how much the English Girin consultants have been checking in with me REGULARLY, every few days and weeks. They are so lovely!! It makes me feel so cared for, they are just very professional and great at their jobs. I appreciate it very much. It just feels like a nice bonus to having a good surgical result :)

WORTH IT
I chose to get double canthoplasty with Girin because I saw they had an advertisement on their Instagram showing that their canthoplasty surgeon Dr. Song Hoon performs a special technique to do a '7-mm canthoplasty', which sounded dramatic, and that was what i wad looking for. So I asked Girin about the technique through WhatsApp and they told me it produces less swelling.

I wanted the double canthoplasty because when I've visited Seoul in the past, I've noticed women with these amazingly wide eyes, sometimes walking around the city right after their operations. I was always envious and knew I loved the transformation of dramatic canthoplasty, so I had always planned to get this procedure.

As I mentioned, I contacted Girin through WhatsApp; they were quick to reply and great at accommodating me as a foreigner. They could see me on the limited dates I was visiting Seoul. Cinderella Clinic which I was also consulting with for dramatic canthoplasty through WhatsApp said that I shouldn't do epicanthoplasty, whereas Girin said they would perform it. In the past I had been advised against inner canthoplasty with other clinics too, which deterred me from booking with them. I knew I had wanted epicanthoplasty for several years, so Girin saying I was eligible for it made me very happy, and I paid the deposit to book the consultation and surgery date.

When I arrived, the clinic's medical staff and consultants were professional. The two translators were both super lovely! I loved meeting both of them, they helped me through everything. Dr. Song Hoon is a cool and professional man, he was very pleasant to talk with, highly knowledgeable, and knew exactly what was achievable. He and the consultant listened to me very closely and considered all of the photos that I showed them for possible final results or 'look'.

I can post results after healing.

01/11/2023

My Lateral Canthoplasty with Dr. Song Hoon went amazing. I am so happy with my decision and can't wait for my final results, as I am confident with Dr. Song Hoon.

29/10/2023

In the summer of 2022, I received lateral canthoplasty at Girin hospital from Dr. Song Hoon who is very well-known for his lateral canthoplasty procedure. I had a really great experience. From the moment I entered the doors, Jennie and Sondra (English translators) came, greeted me, and took me in for consultation. Dr. Hoon took his time (I didn't feel rushed). Throughout the whole process, I was getting texts from Jennie and Sondra checking in on my progress. They were prompt, professional, and very reassuring. While it was weird to have stitches around my eyes, the recovery was fast and I am very happy with my results. They are very natural and the swelling went down a lot after 7 days. Happy to answer any questions!

08/01/2023

When I found Girin, I was looking for a solution to my droopy eyelids (saggy skin on my lids and excessive covering the end of my eyes).
I would go to Girin clinic anytime again! In general the ambiance is absolutely discrete, clean comfortable and therefore very relaxing.
When I made my first call, I was immediately transferred to an English translator, Gina, who is absolutely gemstone to the support team! She was able to provide me first information and kindly helped to accommodate my condensed schedule. She was also there during the entire consultation, and even for the preparation in the surgery room. Thanks to a very professional and honest consultation by the clinic’s consultant and finally Dr Lee Sang Keon. Dr Lee Sang Keon is a very friendly doctor, who seems not to be into unnecessary treatments nor into artificial looks, therefore it was easy for me to trust him and his recommendations and finally to make the decision to undergo the double eyelid correction in combination with a under eyebrow lifting.
The surgery went very smoothly and quickly and the pre-surgery management (ice packs, some meds and cream) has bee super effective to my recovery process. So far I am super pleased with the results and absolutely relieved that I went this step thanks to the very professional team at Girin!

02/02/2025

After consulting with a bunch of clinics online, I decided to go with Girin because of how quickly and thoroughly they were able to answer my questions prior to making the appointment. I was asking questions back and forth for about 3 weeks before I pulled the trigger, my appointment was set for a month out. Since I have never received any cosmetic procedures before I was extremely nervous. It was also my first time going to Korea but they offered airport pickup and drop off which made eased my mind a little. I consulted with and received my DES from Dr. Lee Sang Keon and got botox/lip fillers by Dr. Lee Seung Min. Both processes were quick and painless, I was in-and-out within a couple hours and just had to come back 7 days later for stitch removal. It was been a little over two months since the procedures and I am obsessed. I had hooded eyes and just wanted natural lids. My eyelids were extremely inconsistent, sometimes they would be big, small, or covered. They are still settling in (I read it takes up to 6 months to fully heal) but it already looks so natural. It was also my first time getting botox and fillers and Dr. Seung Min did such a good job on fillers that no none could tell I got them. My lips are fuller now with a cute plump and pout that once again, looks natural! Couldn't be happier with the results.

22/11/2024

After consulting with Dr. Lee Sang Keon at Girin Clinic, I felt complete trust in his clear and professional explanation of the procedures I needed. I decided to undergo a mini mid-face lift and blepharoplasty. Swelling began to subside from the third day, and now, on the seventh day after surgery, I’m truly pleased with how my appearance continues to improve day by day.

24/10/2024

My experience with Girin was all nice and positive.
First of all, the clinic is easy to find, clean and cozy inside, I really enjoyed visiting.
Their English team is very professional and caring. My translator Angela was with me all the way, helping out and supporting, answering all my questions and explaining stuff.
With her help I told my surgeon, doctor Lee Sang Keon, that less is more for me and I only wanted a delicate change, he was understanding and kind, keeping in mind all my wishes, so the result came out all great!
I also would like to mention the nurses, they really are smooth operators lol! I had no bad feelings getting my after care procedures at all.
I had platismaplasty with double chin liposuction and nose tip surgery, I was able to go home the same day! And now it’s been almost 1,5 months, I am very satisfied with the result.

02/12/2023

It has been 6 months since my liposuction surgery with Girin Plastic Surgery and Dr Park Deok Joon.
I had a total of 1900ml taken from my stomach and 1200ml taken from my arms and face. I went to Girin Plastic Surgery because I was finding it hard to lose weight due to genetics.
After 1 month my swelling went down, and after 3 months I started to see my shape. Now after 6 months my body looks more contoured, especially my stomach and hips. I have a beautiful hourglass body which I didn't have before.
The biggest advice i will give is you must must must eat healthily after your surgery. I was walking daily and drinking lots of water. I cut out all sugar from my diet and only ate healthy food. However after 3 months I started eating unhealthy again and I saw my weight was increasing. Now I am starting to eat more healthy again so that I can keep my beautiful new body.
I used silicone gel for my scars. I still have some visible scars but they are getting lighter over time. The doctor advised that the scars on the back can take a few years to disappear. The one on my chin disappeared after 3 months.
After my surgery I massaged my arms and stomach which helped with swelling and lumps. I regularly exercise now to help me keep my new shape.
I am very glad I chose Girin Plastic Surgery. The doctors, nurses and staff have all been helpful every step of the way. I do not speak Korean so I had a translator along the way. If you have any concerns or questions, please ask them. This is an important surgery so you must feel confident before going ahead. I reached out to 3 different clinics but had the best and most transparent response from Girin. I did not feel pressured when booking with them. They gave me time to think about my decision whereas the other clinic kept pressuring and messaging me about the surgery.
A huge thank you to Dr Park Deok Joon, Monica, Anisa, Alissa and all the nurses. I have already recommended the clinic to my friends

My honest impressions one week after 360° abdominal liposuction and fat grafting to the buttocks at Girin Gangnam Plastic Surgery Hospital.
I went alone from the Busan area up to Seoul, had the liposuction and returned the same day. Well, “the same day” is relative — I left at 6:00 AM and got home at 2:00 AM the next day 😂
My abdomen didn’t hurt much, but it was very swollen and bruised — I guess it depends on each person’s body.
The worst pain was probably in my throat: the doctor said to fast (no food or drink) for a full 12 hours to ensure surgical safety. I managed not to eat, but not drinking was hard — still, I pushed through for the sake of the result.
If anyone notices their weight goes up right after liposuction, don’t be surprised — after about a week the weight drops quickly.
It’s only been one week: lots of bruising and swelling, but my waist is already smaller and my buttocks are rounder.
For those interested in liposuction and fat grafting: Dr. Park Deok Joon performed my surgery; his pre-op consultation was very thorough and I’m completely satisfied.

24/01/2025

I went to Girin Hospital in Seoul Korea for arm liposuction surgery and I am happy with the results! I found Girin through Instagram and I saw they recorded the whole arm liposuction process for their followers. I also saw some amazing before and after photos and those after photos were the results I wanted to achieve.
When I flew to Korea, I had a courier pick me up from the airport and drop me off at my hotel which was very convenient.
I had a consultation with Dr Park Deok, who specialises in arm lipo (10 years experience) which made me feel more comfortable. Post surgery, I saw they took out 850ml of arm fat!
The recovery was a bit tiring and difficult but other than that I am really happy with the shape of my arms. I feel more confident wearing singlets and tank tops and my arms suit my body size really well. They look natural and the scarring is minimal.
I highly recommend this surgery hospital in South Korea!

29/11/2024

I went to Girin plastic surgery to get Breast augmentation - Dr. Song Jae Yong & double eyelid surgery - Dr. Park Deok Joon. Its been 4
Months since I got it done and my experience was great! I love my results.

28/10/2024

Had a wonderful experience with the consultant Judy and translator Jake. They were really responsive and v effective in coordinating the entire consult and op arrangement. Contrary to what I have heard, they are professional, had my interests in mind and never pushy or do any hard selling. After the surgery for a whole year, my worries and fears were communicated via wats app and qns to doctors were communicated and answered.

In fact, Dr Kim Seong Yeon didnt encourage me to do any prpcedure that she felt i didnt need. My facelift scars healed v well. Most incisions were done in hairline without the need to shave. Overall, I am happy with the whole experience.

16/01/2025

The overall experience was great! Very modern and clean facility. Sarah, my interpreter has been very professional and she's a very caring person. I've also enjoyed the meeting with Dr. Kim Seong-Yeon. She was very knowledgeable and attentive to my needs and concerns. Unfortunately, due to high blood pressure my surgery was cancelled. A Customer Service Manager (sadly didn't get her name) kindly offered me a full refund. I've been treated at ID Hospital with professionalism and integrity. Thank you!!

24/11/2024

I went to id for blepharoplasty under eyes and thread lifting. Their eye doctor is a magician, I got rid of my genetic dark circles without any sign of surgery. Thread lifting looks very natural, I love it. If I ever need a surgery again…

16/09/2023

I'm very grateful to id team for super natural thread lifting, blepharoplasty and anti aging treatments. The level of service and results is impressive, much better than in Czech Republic. Worth traveling for surgery there 👍🏻

24/11/2022

Many thanks to all the staff for their attentive attitude. The translator Ara gave me a warm welcome and took care of everything. She is a very kind, pleasant, and beautiful girl who speaks excellent Russian. The lead surgeon of the clinic, Dr. Shin In Seok, is a very charming man. He explained every detail of the surgery, all the nuances, pros, and cons — everything was very tactful and professional. The result looks natural, and the clinic’s location is very convenient.

22/10/2025

ID Hospital truly provides excellent service and amazing results! From the online consultants and translators to the beauty specialists — every staff member and doctor works very professionally.
Huge thanks to Dr. Kwon Ju Yong and Dr. Shin In Seok for their outstanding work — the result is absolutely fantastic!
I’m very happy with the outcome, and both the doctor and translator were incredibly kind during the consultations.
I’ll definitely recommend ID Hospital to all my friends.
Wishing ID Hospital continued success! 💖

22/01/2025

ID service very very good especialy Indonesia team, start from Kak Angela, Kak Ilham, Gaya,Ariel,Evita all team give me best service tumb up for indonesia team for care and hospitality during i stay and doing all lipo and facelift treatment and i got great and best Doctor Ahn and Doctor Shin and ID Hospital Nurse

07/01/2025

I had an incredible experience with ID Hospital! Huge thanks to Judy for organizing everything, from my procedures to hotel bookings and airport transfers. Judy was a huge help when I first started researching the surgeries I wanted. I booked my appointment 5-6 months in advance, made a deposit, and submitted my photos and doctor's note. After getting approval from my doctor in the U.S., I was set for surgery.

When I arrived in Korea, a driver picked me up and took me to my hotel, Patio 7, which is conveniently a 10-minute walk from ID Hospital. I met with the consultant, who, along with a translator, walked me through every detail of the procedures and even recommended an eyebrow lift and facial fat grafting to enhance my results. I planned to get rhinoplasty, liposuction, and eyelid correction, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Post-surgery, I stayed overnight at the hospital for care. Within three days, I felt well enough to explore a bit, and by day five, my nose cast was removed. Seven days after surgery, I returned to the U.S., with minimal swelling and no issues at TSA. Now, two weeks post-op, I feel fantastic and absolutely love my new look.

The procedures cost around $15,000 USD, but I received a discount for early booking and got a VAT refund at the airport. Huge thanks to the whole team at ID Hospital, Dr. Moon Ki Lee, Dr. Shin In Seok, and especially to Luna and the translation team for their attentive care. So grateful for this experience!
v 17/11/2024

hi i did my surgery with id and i am so satisfied. I had very difficult breast to augment because it is very flat and i had pigeon chest. But dr. shin in seok totally changed my breast. The result is so amazing. I brought my sis and mom to id also and they were sooo happy too. My sis- eyelids surgery & my mom - upper eyelid surgery (for removing saggy skin?) and face lift. Dr. Seo and Dr. Roh seung il are so good for this. I went to consultation tour like 5 clinics and all of them the facilities are too lousy - just one floor or few floors of normal building and it seems no separate between operation room and lobby or consultation room - so when i arrived at ID hospital i was shocked that the building and every facility is so clean and well managed and literally u can get everything here - checkup before surgery, dental clinic, breast ultrasonic, dermatology, injections(botox,filler), patient ward, postoperative treatment.... well too many things to say. Before I visit korea for surgery, I worried if i can get any translation support because it is my first time to Korea and i don't speak Korean. When I went to small clinics they arranged English translator but omg i feel like they don't deliver all of doctor's conversation. But in ID they have really decent translators, God I was so relieved. Anyways thanks to doctors and ID, I will come back to you soon for my fat graft and body lipo.

27/12/2021

English translators were always there to help, so everything went smoothly and clearly. Dr. Lim explained the whole procedure in detail and answered all my questions — it really helped me feel calm and confident.

29/08/2025

My name is Chloe, I’m 30 and from Ireland. A month ago, I had rhinoplasty, V-line surgery, and fat grafting at ID Hospital. From the very beginning, the staff were highly professional, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable and cared for.

The English-speaking team was amazing — they explained everything clearly and always made sure I understood each step. Consultations were very thorough, the hospital was spotless, and my surgery went perfectly. Recovery was tough at first, but I felt supported every step of the way.

It’s only been a month, and I’m already so happy with the results — I feel more confident and can’t wait to see the final outcome!

12/08/2025

I flew from the U.S. with my mom — I had V-line and rhinoplasty, and she got a facelift and eyelid surgery. I’m healing faster, of course, but we’re both extremely satisfied with the results.
I actually chose my surgeon after seeing his posts on Instagram, and it turned out to be the best decision!
It’s been three months now — there’s still a bit of swelling, but the results are already amazing!

06/05/2024

Such a great, foreigner-friendly clinic! There are many skilled surgeons specializing in jaw and facial bone surgery.
I had a V-line jaw reduction two months ago and I’m so thankful to Dr. Lim for the results. The scars are healing perfectly, no side effects at all, and I can already see a huge transformation coming!
Thank you so much, Dr. Lim!

21/12/2023

I had an incredible experience at JK Plastic Surgery. When I first arrived, I didn’t know what to expect, but the warm atmosphere and supportive team—especially Esraa, the patient care coordinator—immediately made me feel safe. The doctors, Dr. Paik and Dr. Kwon, carefully evaluated me and only suggested treatments that would enhance my natural features.

After my procedures, I stayed overnight, and nurse Dahye was absolutely amazing—checking on me every two hours, managing swelling, and bringing warm meals that felt comforting after surgery. In the days following, I continued receiving follow-up care, including relaxing swelling treatments and scalp cleansing sessions that truly sped up my recovery.

The whole experience—from consultation to aftercare—was seamless, compassionate, and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again and strongly recommend JK Plastic Surgery to anyone who values top-quality medical care and genuine patient support.

30/10/2025

Buccal fat reduction is such a popular trend right now, so I went to JK Plastic Surgery to see if it would suit me. During my consultation, Dr. Kwon gave me detailed, realistic advice about the procedure and how it would balance my facial features. The entire consultation was very professional, with clear explanations and no pressure to decide immediately.

I really appreciated his honesty and how comfortable the clinic made me feel. I’ll definitely return for the surgery soon—highly recommend both Dr. Kwon and the JK team!

27/10/2025

My experience at JK Plastic Surgery in Seoul was beyond expectations. I found the clinic through Instagram, and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made. I was hesitant about getting surgery abroad, so I started with a stem-cell fat transfer. JK made everything easy—from the airport pickup to the hotel located just a few minutes from the clinic.

The facility is beautiful, and the staff treat you with incredible respect from the moment you walk in. My mom and I both had consultations lasting about three hours each, including full diagnostics like CT scans and blood tests, which showed how much they prioritize safety.

On surgery day, everything went smoothly. The staff were professional and kind, and our coordinator Palina took such great care of us, even during recovery. The recovery area was spotless and relaxing. When I woke up, I felt surprisingly good—no nausea, thanks to the IV treatment. They even brought us delicious pumpkin smoothies right after!

Three days later, I had my check-up and was amazed by the results. Dr. Kwon, who performed my fat transfer and a skin booster treatment, completely transformed my skin’s texture and glow. I’ll definitely return next year for a rhinoplasty revision and another fat transfer session.

27/07/2025

I had such a positive experience at JK Plastic Surgery, and a big part of that was thanks to Da Hye, who patiently answered all my questions before my trip and made me feel confident about my choice. My surgeon, Dr. Hong Kwon, did my full-face fat grafting and gave me incredibly natural-looking results.

After surgery, I was warmly cared for—the staff tucked me into a cozy blanket and made sure I was fully comfortable until I was ready to leave. The clinic was spotless and well-organized, and the recovery process was smooth. I’m already planning to come back in the summer for another procedure.

11/03/2024

This was my first time getting plastic surgery in Seoul, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. From the moment I stepped into JK Plastic Surgery, I was impressed by the calm, clean environment and the professional service. The staff were very caring and attentive throughout my entire visit.

My surgeon, Dr. Kwon, took his time explaining every detail about the procedure and recovery, which gave me complete confidence before surgery. The overnight care was exceptional—the nurses were attentive and made sure I was comfortable at all times.

Thank you, JK Plastic Surgery, for such a safe and positive first experience.

17/11/2023

I just wanted to pop back in here with an update to my wonderful procedures I had at Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic earlier this year
It has now been 3 months since my surgeries and I honestly couldn’t be happier!
Dr. Song Jae Yong made my breast the perfect shape, they are so soft and natural and
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 a few other procedures I’d like to get done, and I’m planning to go back as soon as I can!

07/11/2024

I visited the clinic for a consultation and had my breast augmentation surgery just over a month ago. I’m very satisfied with the results! Dr. Song Jae Yong is truly skilled — the procedure was smooth and almost painless. My breasts have already settled into shape and feel soft and natural. The clinic staff were very attentive and kind. I plan to come back for liposuction on my abdomen and arms once I save up some money. Many thanks to Dr. Song Jae Yong and the two lovely translators for their warmth and support 💋

24/06/2024

It’s been only three months since my breast augmentation surgery performed by Dr. Song Jae Yong. The result is amazing — my breasts look beautiful and natural, I’m very satisfied! I’m planning to come back for other procedures. The prices are the same for Vietnamese and Korean clients, and sometimes Vietnamese customers even get discounts. Girin Clinic has many patients — Koreans, Vietnamese, and foreigners. Overall, the clinic is excellent, and the staff are very friendly — 10 out of 10!

19/02/2024

If I had known that breast augmentation would make me feel this confident and beautiful, I would have done it much earlier 🥹
At first, I couldn’t decide whether to have the incision under the breast or through the armpit. I heard the armpit method was more painful, but I chose it anyway because I was worried about scars.
Honestly, it wasn’t as painful as people say!
Ladies, be confident and brave 😄
The result is beautiful 🤍🩷❤️
Many thanks to Dr. Song Jae Yong for giving me the perfect breasts I dreamed of 😍

11/12/2023

The clinic staff are very friendly, and the translator is kind and makes the atmosphere comfortable for clients. The clinic is always busy with both Korean and foreign patients. I had a breast lift and eyelid surgery, and I’m very satisfied with the results. Huge thanks to Dr. Song Jae Yong and Dr. Park Duk Jun!

29/10/2023

My cheekbones used to stick out, so my face looked a bit strong from both the front and the side.
I had a consultation with Dr. Kyung Min Lee, and he explained every detail of my facial structure using a CT scan, which made me feel very confident about the procedure.
The surgery was done very carefully, and although I had some bruising and swelling during recovery, everything settled naturally after about 2–3 weeks.
Now my facial contour looks more balanced and softer, and my face looks completely different in photos — I’m so happy with the result!

17/06/2025

I chose to have a consultation with Dr. Kyung Min Lee after reading many positive reviews and learning that he had published a book.
He carefully explained why this procedure was suitable for my facial structure and listened to my request for a natural result.
Now that the swelling has gone down, I can see the smooth, natural contour I was hoping for — I’m very satisfied with the outcome.

A friend of mine had her contouring surgery here — it turned out so natural and lovely that I chose to go through the same process. Dr. Kyung Min Lee was so gentle and attentive, perfectly grasping my expectations!

During the consultation, Dr. Kyung Min Lee listened to me carefully and fully understood what I wanted.
After the surgery, my facial shape changed just the way I hoped, and my confidence has really improved.
I’m very happy I chose ID Hospital for my operation.

I had such an amazing experience at ID Hospital.

A little background about me... I’m not new to plastic surgeries... and wanted to get a rhinoplasty revision in South Korea. I did a ton... like ALOT of research and contacted almost every famous plastic surgery hospitals/clinics before flying to Korea. (I wasn’t planning on contacting ID since I know how famous ID hospital was! I was intimidated and scared since I also read the old bad reviews as well!)

I then ask one of my girlfriends who also got some procedures done in Korea for recommendations, and she suggested just to contact ID first. Just to kinda see what they say and how knowledgeable they are! (Trust me after contacting so many hospitals... you see how some places are more knowledgeable than others, and if they are just trying to make as much money as possible) I honestly contacted ID just for research, and trying to get as much information as possible... since this is my face, and I was getting a revision! So I was scared like what if it didn’t come out the way I wanted it to again you know?!
v But after getting in contact ID hospitals consultation team I noticed how knowledgeable they are, and answered all my questions perfectly! I felt so comfortable with them doing the procedures! I decided to just do my browbone shaving and fat graft as well. It was the best decision ever!

ID arranged airport pickup and drop off for me. I felt so important the moment I landed in Seoul until the day I left because of ID. I met with my consultant and translators the day of my surgery (who are all so sweet and kind by the way!) I also had my consultation with the doctors as well... and it made me even more comfortable seeing how knowledgeable they were, and telling me not to do certain procedures since I didn’t need them! Which I definitely appreciated!!! After my surgery I stayed 1 night at the hospital (oh and let me tell you! I felt ZERO pain! Just tired from anesthesia) I was instructed to do ALOT of walking the day after surgery to help with swelling. (Also it’s completely normal in Korea to walk around bandaged up and cast still on... haha) and I got my stitches and cast off my nose the 7th day and met with my surgeons. Also got aftercare treatment which I loved! (It’s basically getting a facial and laser to help with swelling and prevent hematoma) on the 14th day I met my surgeons again and got another aftercare treatment before I headed home.

Anyways I understand getting plastic surgery is a very scary process, and sometimes reading reviews can be make it even scarier. Just know that any kind of surgeries come with pros and cons... it’s definitely uncomfortable... and it has a lot to do with how serious you take the after care instructions. I took ALL the instructions seriously! I walked and shopped a lot... didn’t eat salty, spicy, or greasy foods. Took all my meds, and cleaned my wounds.

I was so intimidated by ID and traveling to South Korea alone for the first time. But looking back... I loved every second of it! And can’t wait to go back!!! I’m happy with my results! I’m loving my new Barbie line rhinoplasty, and my browbone is gone! (It was my biggest insecurity!) The fat graft added to the sunken areas of my face makes me look so much younger! Overall my experience at ID hospital has been nothing but amazing! And I wanted to give a special shout out to Clair, Anna, Julie, Jay, Dr. Lee Kyung Min, and Dr. Sohn Ho Sung! You guys are all so amazing and made me feel so comfortable! Thank you again!!!
