I had a full facelift with Dr. Lee Jeong Min and rhinoplasty with Dr. Choi Eun Kyu at Urban Plastic Surgery, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Dr. Lee lifted and tightened my face in such a natural way — I still look like myself, just refreshed and younger. Dr. Choi did an amazing job on my nose. It looks so balanced and fits my face perfectly now.

Both doctors were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. The staff were also so friendly and supportive, always checking in and making sure I was doing okay. My recovery went smoothly, and I’m already loving the results.
If you’re thinking about facial surgery, I definitely recommend Urban. It was such a positive experience for me from start to finish.
