Several of my friends have recently been discussing the idea of getting contouring surgery in Seoul. Some recommended one particular clinic, while others said another one was just as good, which really confused me. So I decided to take a weekend off and visit all 5 well-known plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam that offer this type of procedure. Today, I’d like to share with you which one might be right for you.
I. A comparative review of 5 top institutions for Gangnam contour surgery: Will, TS, Jogak, Pitangui – which one is right for you?
Let me clarify first that all of the following 5 institutions are **regular plastic surgery hospitals**, not Dermatology departments. This time, the focus of the comparison is on **facial contour surgeries** (such as jawbone reshaping, angle of the mandible, double chin reduction, etc.), so they are particularly suitable for those who are considering undergoing contour modification procedures.
| hospital | Established | Specializes in various projects | Language Services |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dr. Will’s Plastic Surgery Clinic | 2004 | Revision rhinoplasty and craniofacial contours | Chinese✅ |
| Jogak Plastic Surgery | — | Bone reshaping and Bone cement filling | Chinese ✅ |
| Face Line Face Line | 2005 | Reduction surgery of the mandible and zygomatic bone | Chinese✅ |
| Pitangui Plastic Surgery | 1989 | Eyebrow and facial contour Lifting | Chinese ✅ |
| TS Plastic Surgery | 2015 | Revision of the eyes and nose, facial contours | Chinese ✅ |
II. Will Plastic Surgery in South Korea – Starting with Revision rhinoplasty and possessing extensive experience in craniofacial contour surgery
Will was established in 2004 and can be considered a established plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam District. Director Wei Hengkun is very well-known in the field of Revision rhinoplasty, and many people come specifically to him for nose surgery. This time, I visited their main clinic in Seocho District; the environment there is very clean, and the decor is simple and business-oriented.
Their **3D fixation bracket technology** is a major highlight, specifically designed for patients who need to have the curvature of their nose reconstructed. Their post-operative management system is also quite comprehensive, including glow therapy devices imported from Germany. In terms of prices, Revision rhinoplasty starts from ¥95 million, rib cartilage rhinoplasty also starts from ¥95 million, while procedures using supermaterial cost approximately ¥96 million, placing them in the mid-to-high-end price range.
III. South Korea’s Jogak Plastic Surgery: Bone surgery as the core, with CT scanning as a prerequisite
The biggest difference between Jogak Plastic Surgery and other institutions is that they specialize almost exclusively in **skeletal surgeries**. Reduction surgery of the jawbone, shaping of the mandibular angle, and use of Bone cement for facial beautification are all their core services. The entire process includes a standard sequence of CT scanning → 3D modeling → treatment plan formulation, with thorough pre-operative consultations.
Suitable for: If you have already undergone one contouring procedure but are not satisfied with the results, or if you need additional Bone cement filling, Jogak is a relatively good option. The cost is moderate, and although the surgical scope is larger, the procedure is relatively less invasive.
IV. South Korea’s Face Line – The authority in double-jaw treatments, with a natural style as its signature feature
Faceline was established in 2005. Its two founding directors, Dr. Lee Jin-soo and Dr. Lee Tae-hee, both graduated from Seoul National University and are highly renowned in the field of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Lee Jin-soo has performed numerous Double Jaw Surgery cases and has also appeared on the program “Let Beauty”.
What sets their clinic apart is its **natural approach** – they do not perform those procedures that leave obvious surgical scars, such as the so-called “slim-faced” surgeries, but instead design treatment plans based on the proportions of your face. Reduction surgery for the jawbones, non-resective Lifting procedures, and SMART facial contouring are all popular treatments. The cost for Double Jaw Surgery starts from approximately ¥332 million, while jawbone reduction surgery costs start from ¥91 million.
V. Pitangui Plastic Surgery in South Korea – A 37-year-old established brand with seven specialized centers
Pitangui was established in 1989 and is the oldest among these five institutions. Director Liu Jisheng specializes in eye plastic surgery and QMC facial Lifting techniques. The hospital itself is a seven-story comprehensive medical facility, offering seven specialized departments including a plastic surgery center, a Dental center, a beauty center, and a hair care center.
The advantage of such comprehensive hospitals is that if you need to undergo multiple treatments (for example, shaping your facial contours, Teeth whitening, or skin care), you can have them all done at the same hospital without having to go back and forth. The prices are transparent, with no hidden costs.
VI. South Korea’s TS Plastic Surgery Department – Expert in eye and nose Revision rhinoplasty, highly favored by young people
TS was established in 2015, making it the youngest of these five clinics. Its founder, Director Lee Sang-kyun, previously worked at grand Hospital before opening his own clinic, specializing in **Revision rhinoplasty and facial contouring procedures**. Located in the heart of Sinsa-dong, it is easily accessible – just walk 48 meters from Exit 2 of Sinsa Station on Line 2 of the subway.
The biggest advantage of TS is its short recovery period – many procedures allow patients to be discharged on the same day. These are mainly minimally invasive surgeries, making them ideal for working professionals who cannot take long vacations. The prices start from ¥92.1 million for facial contour treatments and ¥68.2 million for nasal comprehensive procedures.
VII. Comparison of the service styles of 5 contour plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam
| hospital | The main focus is on style. | Opening hours | Postoperative recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Will | Natural and harmonious results, with minimal visible scars from the surgery | Monday to Friday: 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM; Saturday: 5:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Ordinary |
| Jogak | Exquisite bone sculpting, professional level | Standard South Korea clinic hours | relatively long |
| Faceline | Natural style, a star among hospital directors | Monday to Thursday: 9:30-19:00; Friday: 9:30-21:00 | Ordinary |
| Pitangui | Time-tested safety and comprehensive features | Standard South Korea clinic hours | Ordinary |
| TS | Minimal invasive procedures with quick recovery – the top choice for young people | Monday to Friday: 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM; Saturday: 5:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Quickly |
After looking at the comparison table, let me share my thoughts: If this is your first time undergoing contour surgery and you prefer a natural look, Dr. Lee Jin-soo at Faceline is definitely the best option; if you need Revision rhinoplasty but have a limited budget, TS offers a good value for money; if you are in a hurry to recover and want a minimally invasive procedure with quick results, TS is the top choice; for those who require more intricate bone surgeries, Jogak should be considered.
