South Korea is often referred to as the “plastic surgery capital of the world”, with over a million procedures performed annually. The country is home to some of the most skilled and experienced plastic surgeons, many of whom have gained international recognition. Clinics and hospitals in Korea are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care.
One of the reasons why Korean plastic surgery is so renowned is the emphasis on enhancing a patient’s natural features rather than making drastic changes. This approach, commonly known as “Korean-style plastic surgery”, focuses on subtle and harmonious improvements, allowing patients to look more refreshed and rejuvenated while still maintaining their unique appearance.
Popular procedures like blepharoplasty (double eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty (nose job), and jawline contouring are specifically tailored to emphasize natural beauty. These procedures have earned Korea a reputation for producing balanced, beautiful results that enhance one’s features without over-altering them.
Oculoplastics is a branch of plastic surgery that focuses on cosmetic and functional procedures around the eyes. This includes eyelid surgery, eyebrow lifts, and tear duct surgery.
These procedures are designed to enhance the natural beauty of the eyes, rejuvenate the appearance, and improve function. Oculoplastic surgery addresses concerns such as drooping eyelids or dark circles under the eyes.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to enhance facial harmony. It can address the bridge of the nose, nostrils, or nose tip, improving both aesthetic appearance and functional breathing issues.
Korean rhinoplasty, in particular, emphasizes natural and subtle results, ensuring the nose blends well with the rest of the facial features.

Mastoplasty refers to breast surgery procedures, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lifts. Breast augmentation involves the use of implants or fat transfer to increase breast volume, while breast reduction reduces excess tissue for a more balanced body contour.
Breast lifts help restore a youthful appearance by tightening and repositioning sagging breasts.

Anti-aging treatments focus on reversing or slowing the effects of aging, such as wrinkle reduction, skin rejuvenation, and firmness restoration.
Procedures like Botox, dermal fillers, and laser treatments are used to address fine lines and restore youthful skin elasticity. Facelifts and skin regeneration treatments can also provide more dramatic anti-aging effects.

Body plastic surgery includes procedures designed to improve body contour and shape, such as liposuction, tummy tucks, thigh lifts, and arm lifts.
Liposuction targets localized fat deposits to create a smoother, more defined figure. Tummy tucks help remove excess skin and fat after pregnancy or weight loss, while thigh and arm lifts tighten the skin and remove excess fat in these areas.

South Korea has strict regulations and oversight for plastic surgery procedures. Clinics and hospitals are regulated by the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons to ensure that high standards of care, safety, and professionalism are maintained. However, it is crucial to choose a reputable clinic with certified surgeons for optimal safety.
For minor procedures like eyelid surgery or lip augmentation, patients can often return home the same day. More extensive surgeries, such as breast augmentation or rhinoplasty, may require an overnight stay for observation. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions based on the procedure.
