List of High Rated Medical Tourism Centers in Gangnam Gu, South Korea

At 63 I was feeling that I looked tired and could see how my skin had lost it's elasticity and was sagging especially around my neck, cheeks and jawline. I'm not someone who treats themselves to beauty treatments and I don't do fillers, botox, etc so thinking of a deep plane facelift & neck lift was huge for me. I came across Dr Ryu's name while researching surgeons who were highly skilled in this procedure. This plastic surgery journey was so foreign to me so to find a surgeon with his level of qualifications and also have experience with western faces gave me great peace of mind. I had my surgery in late December and am delighted with my results. I wanted a natural look and still wanted to look like 'me'. This was really important. I flew to Seoul from Australia and from the minute I walked in for surgery I was given Dr Ryu's and his staff undivided attention. They make you feel at ease and really look after you. The care I received during and after my surgery was nothing short of amazing. I also expected some pain after the surgery but was surprised that it was painless and I can barely see my stitches, even at 4 weeks. This blows me away and is testament to Dr Ryu's incredible skill. This was by far the best decision I could have made and a huge thank you to DR Ryu and the team.

Let me start off by saying that the staff here is WONDERFUL! They are truly caring and will be with you throughout your whole journey!! With that said, I beat myself for not doing my research. They are more of facial and breast cosmetics and not body. I initially had my first surgery on April 2025. This included Tummy Tuck (no lipo!! Wish they told me), arm lift and breast lift and augmentation. This was done with Dr. In. I literally cried the day after surgery because I could already tell that sooooooooo muchhhh skin was still left on my arm lift. They told me to wait and heal because it was swollen but it was obviously loose skin. I waited and messaged them in May voicing how unhappy I was with the arm lift. So much skin is left. My tummy tuck has a bulge. I got that checked with my doctor and they told me that it was due to how the muscle repair was done. My breast bottomed out. On Oct 2025, they agreed to re-do my breast with smaller implants. Again, they are so sweet about it. Of course for a fee. The revision was done by Dr. Im. Again, amazing amazing doctor. So sweet and kind. But when we are paying over 30K, we expect results. During this surgery, I decided to add thigh lift. Needless to say, I had complications with the thigh lift. I went back in Nov and they did their best in revising it. It looks so much better. No ideal scars because of the revision but I was so happy Dr. Im agreed to re-do thighs. During this time I did ask about my arm lift again and Dr. Im agreed that a lof of skin was left. He could not conduct the arm lift and thigh lift revision at that same time. Now I'm working with another doctor for arm revision because it's like nothing was taken out. I still have the "bat wings." I'm so grateful that I life in Japan because there is no way I could have gone back and forth for the revisions if I did not live close so please take that under consideration. The staff were so kind throughout this journey put the outcome did not meet expectations FOR ME! I saw a lof of people get facial work done and they looked amazing! Just do your research and make sure the clinic you go with is an expect at that you are looking for. It's way too much money for it not to be the results you want/ expected.
