"I had the best experience at JK Plastic Surgery in Seoul. I actually discovered them through Instagram and it led me to a true gem. I was initially very skeptical about traveling abroad for surgery, so I decided to start with something less invasive: fat transfer with stem cells. My mom and I flew to Seoul together, and JK arranged prompt airport pickup and drop-off at our hotel, which was conveniently just two blocks from their clinic in Gangnam. The next day, we had our consultation. The clinic is stunning—located in a gold building, and as soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us with bows. The process was seamless. They provide everything on-site, from medications to a café that serves the most incredible smoothies—highly recommend the green tea, strawberry yogurt, and pumpkin combo. What impressed me most was how thorough they were. They spent about three hours on each of us, conducting CT scans, bloodwork, and even X-rays. It reassured me that my health was a top priority before undergoing any procedure. On surgery day, everything was smooth and comforting. The staff was professional, warm, and compassionate. Special shoutout to Palina—our translator and care coordinator—who literally guided us every step of the way, even up to the OR. I absolutely adore her. The operating area was pristine, and they even sanitize you as you transition into the surgical wing. My mom and I were able to be side by side as we prepped for surgery and during recovery, which made the experience even more comforting. When I woke up, I felt surprisingly great. I usually wake up nauseous, but they had an IV flushing out the anesthesia right away, which made a huge difference. I even asked the nurse if I could order one of those pumpkin smoothies—and they brought two, one for me and one for my mom. It was the perfect relief after fasting and helped soothe the post-op sore throat from the breathing tube. Three days later, we returned for our post-op appointment and were beyond happy with the results. I’m already planning my return with my husband. I’ll be getting a rhinoplasty revision and a second session of fat transfer. This is definitely becoming an annual visit to JK for me. Lastly, I have to mention Dr. Kwon—not only did he perform my fat transfer, but he also did a skin booster treatment. I have never seen my skin look this good in my entire life! See you guys soon, JK!"

"I’ve had all my procedures done there, from eye aging treatments, breast augmentation, tipplasty, and alar reduction, to all other treatments. I am very satisfied with the results. That’s why I keep coming back, again and again, to continue improving whatever I need."

"I’d a great experience with JK Plastic since everyone in the clinic makes me feel comfortable and welcome. Dr. Paik Hye Won is an excellent surgeon. After asking for several clinics, her recommendations was the best, a natural and younger look. The manager and Doctors speaks English and thats makes everything much easier. The manager explains all the procedures and what I could expect about pain, recovery, etc. Since I don’t live in Korea it was very hard to choose the right one, so glad that I make the correct choice, 100% recommend JK Plastic."
