"I had surgery at JW Clinic about 2 weeks ago and so far I’m really happy with the results—no visible scarring yet and recovery is going smoothly. Dr. Suh (tiplasty) and Dr. Kim (eyelid/epicanthoplasty/blepharoplasty) were attentive and professional, and their recommendations felt tailored to me rather than pushy. The clinic was very clean and modern. They provided red light therapy, cold compress packs, and even a complimentary hair shampoo service after surgery. The staff, especially my translator Jenny, were amazing—supportive, kind, and always made sure I understood everything. Nurses were gentle and explained each step, which helped me feel comfortable. JW also arranged airport pickup/drop-off and has a hotel partnership with L7 Gangnam, which made the whole experience more convenient. A few areas for improvement: post-op instructions weren’t always consistent, my antibiotic eyedrops ran out before the prescribed 2 weeks and I was told to just stop, and one stitch under my eyelid was missed during stitch removal (though they later offered to reimburse me for the removal in the U.S.). The final cost was also higher than my initial quote, which I wish had been more accurate given the clear photos I sent. Overall, I’d still recommend JW Clinic for their skilled doctors, modern facilities, and caring staff—just make sure to double-check your post-op instructions, stitches, and medication supply before leaving."

"I have had my tip plasty and alar plasty done by Dr Suh, he truly is an amazing surgeon, i absolutely love my nose now and it looks so natural which was what his specialty is. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to achieve a natural nose enhancement. I’ve also had the best beauty consultant Tina who has walked me through the whole process and has offered a lot of support and kindness"

"I did some eye procedures few years ago and recently had a Botox treatment in JW and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment I arrived, the consultant, Tina, made me feel completely at ease. They were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the procedure in clear, simple terms, which helped me feel confident in my decision. One thing that really stood out was the transparency around pricing. There were no surprises or hidden fees—everything was explained upfront, which I truly appreciated. The clinic was also very well-organized. My waiting time was minimal, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. The procedure itself was quick and comfortable, and the results look natural and refreshed."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Exceptional Experience at JW Plastic Surgery with Dr. Suh I had a revision rhinoplasty at JW Plastic Surgery in South Korea with Dr. Suh in December 2024 and from start to finish the entire experience was truly amazing. Everything—from booking the appointment, to the consultation, surgery, and follow-up care—was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. The team looked after me so well and honestly couldn’t do enough for me. They always answered my calls and messages right away, which gave me so much reassurance throughout the whole process. The after-care was exceptional; I always felt supported and informed. My nose came out amazing. Dr. Suh is incredibly skilled, precise, and clearly an expert in his field. I would confidently recommend him to anyone considering a primary rhinoplasty or a revision procedure. I also want to mention the lovely reception girls—they made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I mainly communicated with Tina over text before the surgery, and meeting her in person was just as wonderful. She’s such a lovely person, and I’m still in contact with her today because of how caring and supportive she has been. Even now, if I have any questions, the clinic gets back to me straight away. I never felt scared or anxious at any point because the entire team created such a positive, safe environment. Highly recommend JW Plastic Surgery and Dr. Suh. Truly a five-star experience"

"I’ve been trying different clinics in Korea for years, and this one has been the best by far. The attention to detail and the care are amazing everyone is super kind, and the best part is that they speak English. I even got lucky because my doctor spoke Spanish too 🤍 I went mainly for dermatology treatments, but I absolutely loved the whole experience. I truly recommend it and will definitely come back. 🌸"
