“What qualifications should patients look for when choosing a plastic surgeon in South Korea, such as Dr. Seonghyeok Yang or Dr. Woong Heo at Hugo PS Global?”
I was honestly overwhelmed at first trying to figure out who to trust for surgery in Korea, but SoonPlus really stood out. Their team felt genuinely skilled and honest, and I liked that each doctor had a clear specialty. It wasn’t about hype it was about real credentials and results.
When I first looked into plastic surgery in Korea, I was overwhelmed by all the options especially in Gangnam. What helped me most was learning how to spot truly qualified surgeons. I made sure my doctor was board-certified by the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons , specialized in plastic surgery, and had plenty of experience with the exact procedures I wanted. That’s how I found Dr. Kim Hyeongtaek at Kowon Plastic Surgery. He’s skilled, honest, and focused on natural results not the overdone look. It’s a boutique clinic, not a factory-style one, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Credentials matter way more than Instagram followers trust me.
When I was looking for a revision rhinoplasty in Korea, I quickly realized how overwhelming the search can be glossy Instagram ads don’t tell you who’s actually qualified. After a deep dive into credentials, I learned to look for board certification , specialization in your procedure, a real before/after portfolio, and experience with international patients. That’s what led me to Dr. Kim Hyeongtaek at Kowon Plastic Surgery. He’s board-certified, has over 15 years of experience in facial contouring and rhinoplasty, and his consultations were honest and thoughtful. The clinic was clean, modern, and totally foreigner-friendly. If you’re considering plastic surgery in Korea, go for credentials over clout Dr. Kim gave me both the natural results and the peace of mind I needed.
