When it comes to plastic surgery in South Korea, many people immediately think of Gangnam District. But do you know that in the areas of Cheongdam-dong and Sinsa-dong, there is a plastic surgery clinic even recommended by South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare? That’s right, it’s ID Hospital. I went there specifically to consult about contouring surgery on the recommendation of a friend, and I would like to share my real experience in this article!
I. Why did I choose ID Plastic Surgery Hospital over other clinics?
Actually, at first, I also considered several other well-known plastic surgery hospitals, but there were several reasons why I ultimately chose ID. Firstly, they are the first hospital in Asia specializing in facial contour surgery, and Director Park Sang-hoon is truly a leading expert in this field. Moreover, they have an 18-story standalone building, and just their scale alone is very reassuring.
Another reason is that they have numerous cases involving the “Let Beauty” program, and President Park personally performed surgeries on many of the female patients. As a result, they enjoy high recognition and influence within the industry. If you, like me, are considering undergoing contouring surgery or double-jaw surgery, you should definitely consider consulting ID.
II. Where exactly is ID Plastic Surgery Hospital located? The transportation is extremely convenient!
ID Plastic Surgery Hospital is located at 142 Isadae-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, right next to the VOCO Hotel. The transportation is truly convenient:
- 🚇 Exit 1 of Sinsa Station on Line 3 of the subway. Just walk straight for 200 meters and you’ll arrive.
- 🚗 If taking a taxi, simply tell the driver “ID Hospital” or “Idi Hospital”, and they will understand what you mean.
- 🅿️ There is a paid parking lot next to the clinic, making it very convenient to drive there.
I took the subway to get there. After getting off the train, I followed Google Maps for about 3 minutes and soon saw that extremely prominent single-story building. There was a clear sign reading “ID Hospital” at the entrance, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.
III. Eight featured services at ID Plastic Surgery Hospital: contouring, double jaw surgery, and nose reshaping are all available.
ID Plastic Surgery Hospital boasts eight specialized medical systems, offering a wide range of services. Here are some of the more popular options, in my opinion:
- Facial Contour: MVT Mandible Angle Reduction surgery, V-line surgery, id Contour 3-in-1 package (jawbone + Mandible Angle Reduction + chin), DongAn Center Introduction Jawbone Reduction surgery
- Double jaw surgery: We offer various types of double jaw surgeries – including non-restrictive procedures, transparent techniques, and ID protruding lip correction surgery (which is their specialty!).
- Nasal plastic surgery: Barbie nose reshaping, delicate and flexible nose reshaping, Jogak nose reshaping, Alar base reduction surgery
- Eye plastic surgery: Bambi eye contouring (eye shape correction + multi-directional canthoplasty), Non-incisional (buried suture) method, Revision Surgery for the eyes
- DongAn Center Introduction’s Lifting Solutions: Advanced anti-aging stem cells, nano-fat transplantation, V3 Lifting procedure, and minimally invasive facelift techniques
- Minimally invasive cosmetic procedures: Filler and botulinum toxin
At that time, I mainly sought advice regarding contour surgery. The doctors provided very professional recommendations—not the kind of one-size-fits-all sales pitches you often hear. They would first use 3D CT scans to analyze the structure of your facial bones and then use computer simulations to show you what the results of the surgery would look like, giving you a clear understanding of what to expect.
IV. Director Park Sang-hoon personally conducts consultations: His professional expertise truly reassures patients.
Director Park Sang-hoon is truly a leading expert in the industry. Not only is he highly skilled at performing surgeries, but he has also published a textbook on facial contour surgery—over 200 pages in length! It’s clear that he treats contour surgery as a genuine field of study. Many of the case photos I saw at his clinic were from participants in the “Let Me Be Beautiful” program, and the results of their surgeries looked absolutely natural.
During the in-person consultation, Director Park personally examines the patient himself—not just having an assistant do the checking while the doctor merely greets the patient. He carefully analyzes the patient’s facial structure and provides professional advice. Moreover, their clinic offers a comprehensive “Peace of Mind Plastic Surgery” guarantee system, which includes pre-operative comprehensive examinations, bone density tests, a safe anesthesia system, and a post-operative management system (ID Post-Operative Management System/CarePoint), allowing patients to continue receiving follow-up consultations even after returning home.
V. What is the environment like at ID Plastic Surgery Hospital? Let’s take a look through pictures and texts.
ID Plastic Surgery Hospital is located in a 18-story standalone building, and the environment there is truly excellent. Here is what I learned at that time:
- Ground Floor Lobby: With a high-ceiling design and comfortable seating areas, the staff are very friendly and will ask you to fill out some basic information and state your consultation needs first.
- Consultation Rooms: Each consultation room is equipped with privacy protections. Doctors will conduct one-on-one consultations with you here, using 3D CT images to explain any issues related to your facial structure.
- Operating rooms: There are several operating rooms, all of which meet dust-free and sterile standards, ensuring a very high level of safety.
- Recovery Room: After the procedure, professional caregivers will monitor your recovery progress.
- Accommodation: They have a partner wellness hotel (the VOCO Hotel is right next door), so patients can move in there immediately after the procedure for recovery – really considerate.
Overall, the environment at ID gives people the impression of being “professional” and “reliable”. Unlike some clinics that have overly flashy decor, their space exudes an atmosphere that makes you feel “they truly place great emphasis on the quality of medical services”.
