Choosing a plastic surgery team in Korea?

​When considering plastic surgery in Korea, it’s important to inquire about the qualifications and experience of the entire surgical team. For example, Dr. Joo Kwon, the representative doctor at JK Plastic Surgery, holds a medical degree from Catholic University Medical School, completed his residency at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, and has 35 years of medical experience. Similarly, Dr. Koo Youn-taek, founder and chief doctor at Wonderful Plastic Surgery, earned his PhD in Plastic Surgery from Seoul National University College of Medicine. These credentials reflect rigorous training and extensive experience, which are crucial for ensuring safe and effective surgical outcomes.​

When I was researching facial contouring in Korea, I initially focused only on the surgeons but I quickly realized the whole team matters just as much. That’s why I chose 1mm Plastic Surgery in Seoul. The clinic’s three main surgeons Dr. Eon Rok Do, Dr. Hong Jin Kim, and Dr. Young Su Na are all board-certified and highly specialized. But what really impressed me was the anesthesiology team and nursing staff. I had a separate consult with the anesthesiologist, and the nurses were professional, caring, and super attentive during recovery. They also limit the number of surgeries per day, which made everything feel focused and safe.

Before flying to Korea for surgery, my biggest concern was trusting the entire medical team not just the surgeon. That’s what made me choose Hugo PS Global in Suwon. Dr. Seonghyeok Yang and Dr. Woong Heo are highly skilled in facial contouring, but what impressed me most was the team’s overall experience from the board-certified anesthesiologist to the attentive, well-trained nurses. The whole setup felt more like a mini hospital than a clinic.

When I was planning my procedure in Korea, I wasn’t just focused on the surgeon I cared just as much about the whole medical team. That’s why I chose TJ Plastic Surgery in Seoul.

From the start, everything felt professional and well-organized. Dr. Tack-Jin Chang is incredibly experienced, but what really stood out was how coordinated and caring the entire team was from the anesthesiologist who walked me through the process, to the attentive post-op nurses. I never felt rushed, and everyone made sure I was comfortable and informed.
