Clinics for this specialty

Libens ENT Clinic (Scarless Rhinoplasty)
Flagship Hospital

Libens ENT Clinic (Scarless Rhinoplasty)

seoul-sinsa

A nose-focused ENT clinic founded in 2008 and relocated to Exit 3 of Sinsa Station in 2021. Director Jeon Seong-ha, a board-certified otolaryngologist, specializes in closed (scarless) rhinoplasty: incisions are made only inside the nostrils, and even demanding cases such as hump, deviated, bulbous and tip surgery are performed through both nostrils with nearly the same surgical view as an open approach. The clinic follows an implant-free principle for hump, deviated-nose and tip surgery, using no silicone or Gore-Tex, and operates with a hump-removal instrument invented by the director and patented in Korea and the US. Only one patient is operated on each morning; after a brief sedation the surgery proceeds under local anesthesia so you can check the new shape in a mirror during the procedure, and all post-operative care, from splint removal to dressing, is done by the surgeon himself. Functional rhinoplasty that combines septum, rhinitis and sinus surgery with cosmetic correction is a key strength, and the clinic has an in-house 3D CT, nasal endoscopy, operating room and recovery rooms. An English website and KakaoTalk/LINE consultation channels are available.

Apgujeong Miracle Clinic

Apgujeong Miracle Clinic

seoul-gangnam

A clinic specialising in thread lifting on the 5th floor of the Hanju Building on Seolleung-ro 157-gil in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, near Apgujeong Rodeo Station. It focuses on a single treatment, lifting sagging cheeks, the jawline and the neck with absorbable threads, and skin-regenerating injections such as Rejuran or Juvelook can be added during the same visit if you wish. Doctors covering plastic surgery and dermatology handle everything from consultation to the procedure, and the clinic runs entirely by appointment, so you arrive at a set time without waiting. Set in the heart of the Apgujeong and Cheongdam district, it is within walking distance of Gangnam hotels, and because thread lifting is a non-incisional procedure that lets you return to your day straight away, it fits easily into a short stay.

Dr. Kim Plastic Surgery (Songdo)

Dr. Kim Plastic Surgery (Songdo)

incheon-songdo

A plastic surgery clinic on the 4th floor of Building B, Triple Street, in Songdo International City, Incheon, within walking distance of Exit 2 of Technopark Station (Incheon Line 1). A single director handles everything from consultation to surgery and follow-up. Procedures cover eye surgery such as natural-adhesion non-incisional double eyelids, epicanthoplasty, under-eye fat repositioning, lifting for drooping eyelids and endoscopic forehead lifts; nose surgery including low, hump, long and revision noses; non-surgical treatments such as Botox, fillers, Juvelook, Rejuran, HIFU and radio-frequency lifting; and fat grafting. Surgery is planned with a 3D facial analysis system, and all operations are performed under sedation or local anaesthesia as same-day procedures, so the clinic fits easily into a short stay in Songdo, close to Incheon Airport. Saturday morning clinics are available and the building has underground parking.

seoul-gangnam

A skin and plastic surgery clinic on the 2nd floor of the B722 Building at 531 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, right outside Exit 4 of Nonhyeon Station (Line 7 and Shinbundang Line).

The skin centre covers lifting lasers such as Ulthera, Thermage and Shurink, thread lifting, Botox and fillers, skin boosters, lasers for pigmentation, pores, scars and redness, and tattoo removal; the plastic surgery centre covers eye, nose (cosmetic and functional) and anti-ageing surgery plus hair transplantation.

Open Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri 10:00–19:00 and Sat 10:00–16:00; closed Thursdays and Sundays.

Frequently asked questions

How soon after Hump Nose Correction (Closed Rhinoplasty) can I fly home?

It depends on the scope of surgery, but hospitals usually recommend flying after stitches are removed and the first follow-up is done. The expected length of stay is confirmed at the consultation, and MediQueen schedules follow-ups around your travel dates.

Will there be visible scars?

This depends on where and how the incision is made. Some hospitals use hidden incisions or closed techniques, so ask to see the incision approach and healed results in photos during your consultation.

Can consultation and surgery be done on the same day?

If you complete an online consultation with photos and medical history in advance, some hospitals can operate on the same day after tests. For safety, blood work and an anaesthesia assessment come first, so the hospital makes the final call on timing.

Does the price include anaesthesia, tests and follow-up visits?

Inclusions vary by hospital. MediQueen's estimate lists exactly what the hospital says is included and excluded, and the final price is confirmed after consultation.
