Let me share my personal experience—it might help someone out there who’s on the fence about getting surgery in Korea.
Last year, after years of contemplating and months of research, I finally decided to take the leap and get a revision rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery in Seoul. I’d had a previous procedure done in my home country, but the results weren’t what I’d hoped for. I wanted a clinic with natural results, experienced doctors, and honest consultation—none of that sales-y vibe you sometimes get in big clinics.
That’s when I came across Clinic Human Plastic Surgery. At first, I was drawn in by the subtle before-and-after photos and the clinic’s reputation for personalized care. I dove into reviews from international patients and noticed a lot of praise for Dr. Kim Kook Hyun, especially for revision surgeries and facial balance.
From the very first consultation (done online since I wasn’t in Korea yet), I felt surprisingly at ease. Dr. Kim took time to really understand my concerns and didn’t rush me into anything. He explained what could realistically be achieved and what limitations I might have based on my previous surgery. He wasn’t trying to “upsell” me on unnecessary procedures—just honest, detailed feedback.
When I arrived at the clinic in Seoul, everything was so clean, calm, and professional. The staff spoke enough English to help me feel supported every step of the way. The surgery went smoothly, and recovery was actually more manageable than my first experience. What stood out most to me was the aftercare—they don’t just forget about you after the surgery. Regular check-ins, healing treatments, and constant communication made such a difference.
It’s now been about 9 months since my surgery. The results? I feel like the most confident, natural, and balanced version of myself. No “overdone” look—just the face I always imagined when I looked in the mirror.
If you’re considering surgery in Korea, especially anything facial, I highly recommend Clinic Human Plastic Surgery and Dr. Kim Kook Hyun. You can check out their website here: https://www.human-plasticsurgery.com/

Hope this helps someone who’s feeling overwhelmed by the options out there. I’ve been there—and I’m really glad I made this choice.
