Surgical Procedures
At Seoul Cosmetic Surgery (SCS), our surgical programs combine Korean technical excellence with thoughtful, concierge-level coordination. We match you with board-certified surgeons whose portfolios align with your goals, then simplify every step--from imaging and pre-op testing to travel-ready recovery planning. The emphasis is always on proportion, function, and discreet scars, so your results feel like you--just more refined
Below you’ll find clear, patient‑friendly explanations for each procedure. We avoid jargon, set realistic timelines, and help you understand how a treatment will feel in everyday life: work, travel, fitness, and comfort. Your bilingual coordinator remains with you from the first message to your final follow‑up.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation at SCS is guided by the idea that great results are proportional, soft, and balanced with the rest of your frame. Our partner surgeons work with Mentor® and Motiva® implants, using careful pocket dissection and sizing trials to help you visualize shapes before surgery. Incision placement and implant profile are chosen conservatively to protect sensation and support graceful movement, whether you prefer a subtle boost or a confident silhouette.
Your coordinator will outline garment use, sleep positions, and gentle activity progression so you can plan work and travel with confidence. We also cover flying after surgery, what to pack, and how to communicate normal sensations (pressure, tightness) versus red flags. Expect safety‑first anesthesia, tidy incision care, and bilingual check‑ins that keep everything calm and predictable.
Facial Contouring (V-Line, Zygoma, Genioplasty)
Imaging‑led bone contouring can softly narrow a wide jaw, refine cheekbone prominence, or adjust chin projection for harmony from every angle. Our partner surgeons plan millimeter‑level bone work with attention to your bite, soft‑tissue drape, and facial expression—prioritizing a refined look, not an exaggerated one. The goal is structure that supports natural light and shadow, so your face reads rested, balanced, and elegant.
SCS coordinates 3D analysis, sets expectations for swelling stages, and builds a recovery calendar that suits international travel. You’ll get practical guidance on diet, oral care, sleeping positions, and when to resume meetings on camera. We also discuss how contouring pairs with gentle fat grafting or skin treatments once healing is underway.
Surgical Rhinoplasty
Structure‑first rhinoplasty enhances aesthetics while protecting breathing. Surgeons use cartilage support and conservative refinement to stabilize the bridge and tip, improving shape without creating a “done” look. We review your photos together and discuss changes that respect ethnic identity and facial proportions, focusing on long‑term stability rather than short‑term trends. Your SCS plan includes pre‑op simulations, splint and taping milestones, and a realistic timeline for the swelling curve. We explain what the first two weeks feel like, how to approach glasses and exercise, and how to communicate with your surgeon during healing. The result: a profile that sits naturally within your features and a recovery journey you can navigate with ease.
Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty
Upper and lower eyelid surgery refreshes the eyes by repositioning or removing skin and fat with refined, minimal‑incision techniques. The objective is brightness without changing your unique expression. Where needed, ptosis correction can improve lid function and reduce compensatory forehead strain, supporting both aesthetics and comfort.
We’ll prepare you for the first week’s normal swelling and light sensitivity, then map a simple routine for drops, compresses, and screen time. SCS also coordinates follow‑ups and provides photo guidelines so your surgeon can review progress remotely while you travel. Expect discreet scars that blend into natural creases and a more rested, authentic look.
Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
Suture and incisional methods can create a crisp yet natural crease tailored to lid thickness, brow position, and your preferred height. Planning focuses on symmetry and longevity while avoiding an over‑opened look. The subtlety of this procedure lies in how the fold behaves when you smile, blink, and talk—our surgeons design for realism in motion, not just in photos.
SCS supports you with clear pre‑op instructions, translator assistance on procedure day, and aftercare routines that are easy to follow when traveling. We’ll review taping, ointments, and activity limits, and check in at predictable intervals so you feel supported throughout recovery.
Abdominoplasty
(Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty smooths and supports the abdominal wall by addressing extra skin, stretched muscle (diastasis), and localized fat. Our partner surgeons favor low‑scar placement and layered closure for comfort and a tidy contour, with garment strategies tailored to your body and schedule. The result is a more secure, confident core that fits clothing cleanly and moves comfortably.
SCS coordinates garment sizing, mobility tips, and staged activity—from first walks to light exercise—so you can return to daily life with confidence. We’ll also plan travel timing, pain control that minimizes grogginess, and tips for sleeping positions that protect your results without sacrificing rest.
Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Chest Contouring)
Gynecomastia surgery reduces excess glandular tissue and refines the chest using discreet areolar incisions; selective liposuction may be added for smooth transitions. The priority is a natural, masculine line that looks good in T‑shirts and at the beach—without obvious signs of surgery.
Your SCS coordinator reviews garment use, sensitivity timelines, and realistic expectations for return to activity and strength training. We keep the process discreet and supportive, with clear check‑ins and photo reviews that make remote follow‑up straightforward while you travel.
Face Lift (Comprehensive SMAS)
The comprehensive SMAS facelift restores jawline definition and neck refinement by elevating deeper support layers rather than simply tightening skin. Scar placement respects hairline and natural creases for a discreet finish, and conservative skin redraping preserves softness and expression. Where appropriate, gentle fat grafting can restore midface light for a youthful contour.
SCS schedules thoughtful follow‑ups, explains sleeping positions and garment strategies, and maps out when you can comfortably resume social events or on‑camera work. We keep expectations grounded and recovery calm, so your results read as well‑rested, not operated.
Deep Plane Face Lift
Deep plane lifting releases retaining ligaments and repositions the SMAS–malar unit as one, producing strong midface rejuvenation while minimizing skin tension. This approach can soften nasolabial heaviness and restore cheek projection, often with especially natural expressions at rest and in motion.
We compare deep plane and comprehensive SMAS options based on anatomy, goals, and your tolerance for downtime. With SCS, you’ll have bilingual guidance, conservative planning, and a steady check‑in cadence that makes travel‑based recovery feel manageable.
Mini Face Lift
For early jowling or neck softening, short‑scar techniques refine the lower face while respecting natural movement and expression. Recovery is typically faster than with comprehensive lifting, making this a good option for those who want meaningful but conservative change.
SCS coordinates surgeon selection, garment use, and return‑to‑social timing that fits real life. We’ll also explain how mini lifting can pair with skin‑quality treatments for a polished overall result.
Massesster Botox
Targeted dosing relaxes overactive masseter muscles to slim a square jaw and may ease clenching‑related tension. Results build gradually over several weeks, with many patients noticing both a slimmer lower face and less bite pressure at night.
We partner with injectors who map points for symmetry while preserving natural expression. SCS provides aftercare guidance, retreatment intervals, and advice on pairing with facial contouring or skin tightening when appropriate.
Hair Transplant (FUE)
FUE transplants individual follicles for natural density with minimal scarring. Design prioritizes hairline realism, graft survival, and donor stewardship so results age well over time. Sessions are paced to your goals and availability.
SCS organizes pre‑care, session planning, and simple aftercare that fits travel schedules. We clarify sleeping positions, washing protocols, and the growth timeline (shedding, sprouting, and maturation) so you know exactly what to expect.
Liposuction and CoolSculpting
Liposuction delivers immediate, sculpted change with surgical precision and is ideal for targeted contouring when downtime is acceptable. CoolSculpting offers gradual, non‑surgical fat reduction via cryolipolysis, favored when you prefer no incisions and minimal disruption.
SCS helps you weigh downtime, recovery tasks, and result timelines—and if desired, we’ll plan staged strategies that combine methods safely. You’ll receive a clear, honest recommendation aligned with your goals and schedule.
Stem Cell–Assisted Treatments (ADRC/SVF)
ADRC/SVF approaches use your adipose‑derived cells to support repair and post‑procedure recovery. While individual response varies, many patients appreciate the calmer recovery and more even skin tone in the months that follow. Our partner teams explain each step—from collection to preparation to application—with clear consent and safety protocols.
SCS organizes pre‑care, session planning, and simple aftercare that fits travel schedules. We clarify sleeping positions, washing protocols, and the growth timeline (shedding, sprouting, and maturation) so you know exactly what to expect.
Regenerative and Advanced System
These options support recovery, texture, and glow—often combined with procedures for smoother healing and a healthier skin barrier. Protocols are evidence‑aligned and kept simple: we want your regimen to be easy to follow while you travel, sleep, and get back to your routine.
Your coordinator will outline where each therapy adds the most value and how to sequence appointments so your skin stays calm. If you’re planning photography, events, or on‑camera work, we’ll plan timelines that deliver a fresh, rested look right when you need it.
Skin Boosters (Rejuran / Profhilo / NCTF)
Micro‑injections of polynucleotides or hyaluronic acid enhance hydration, elasticity, and fine texture with little downtime. Popular among travelers, boosters can deliver that “glass‑skin” finish and make makeup sit more smoothly without changing facial structure.
We help you choose the right product family and spacing for your skin type and schedule, then outline gentle post‑care. SCS also explains how boosters pair with threads, lasers, and exosomes without over‑treating the barrier.
Skin Boosters VS Fillers
Skin boosters polish the canvas—hydration, texture, and tone—while fillers restore or shape structure in areas like cheeks, lips, and jawline. They solve different problems and often work best together when sequenced thoughtfully.
Your SCS coordinator will match products to goals, map a safe order of operations, and keep expectations honest about maintenance. The result is refreshed skin quality and believable facial definition that holds up in real life and on camera.
Exosome Skin Therapy (Regenerative)
Exosome serums can calm and support recovery after procedures like microneedling or fractional laser. Patients often describe a steadier glow and fewer post‑procedure rough days as the skin resets. Application protocols are gentle and easy to follow.
We’ll explain where exosomes add the most value for your skin type and how to pair them with barrier‑first home care. SCS also coordinates timing with your other appointments so the skin isn’t over‑stimulated.
CO₂ / Fraxel Laser Resurfacing
Dermatologist‑led fractional and CO₂ resurfacing address texture, acne scarring, and uneven tone. Device choice and settings are tailored to your skin type with a conservative bias that favors steady, safe gains over aggressive, risky passes.
SCS provides clear pre‑/post‑care, moisturizer and SPF strategies, and realistic spacing between sessions. We also plan return‑to‑work timing and camera‑friendly milestones so you feel presentable while you heal.
Non-Surgical Surgery
For visible refinement with minimal downtime, SCS coordinates precision injectables, threads, and device‑based solutions. We sequence treatments to protect the skin barrier and keep facial proportions natural, with honest guidance around maintenance and timing. Many visitors plan these as efficient, travel‑friendly refreshers between work commitments.
Every plan is personalized to your anatomy and comfort level. We’ll explain common sensations, aftercare steps, and realistic timelines for seeing results—so there are no surprises when you return to daily life.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Hyaluronic‑acid fillers such as Volux® and Lyft® can lift a low bridge, correct minor asymmetries, and soften small dips in under 30 minutes. Mapping is meticulous and dosing is conservative to protect vascular safety and keep the profile elegant and believable.
SCS coordinates experienced injectors, sets expectations for brief swelling or tenderness, and reviews do‑and‑don’ts for the first week. If you’re considering later surgical rhinoplasty, we’ll help you time any dissolving steps so tissue is quiet before future procedures.
Thread Lift
Modern threads gently reposition tissue and stimulate collagen for improved tone and definition. They excel for mild to moderate laxity of the midface, jawline, or neck and are often used to refresh early changes before a surgical lift is needed.
Your plan will include thread type selection, numb‑and‑map protocols, and practical expectations around lift magnitude and longevity. SCS also outlines maintenance options and how to pair threads with boosters or energy devices without irritating the skin.

Mona and Dana were there for us from the first consultation, surgery and stitches removal appointments. Providing support and encouragement. We really appreciate it.
Once again, thank you all for your care and kindness!! Keep well and stay safe. ❤️

I traveled to Seoul with a companion who needed a procedure. The process seemed overwhelming, until someone recommended that we contact Seoul Cosmetic Surgery to help with the arrangements. I reached out to them, and was contacted promptly. SCS did the heavy lifting for us, including: Contacting multiple clinics for estimates and recommendations; providing translation services; helping us finalize appointments; and giving honest feedback regarding our options for everything from hotels to surgeons. Prior to arrival, Dean stayed in contact during our travels to make sure our taxi was waiting for us at the airport. SCS arranged the taxi to and from the airport, as well as transportation to, and translation during, all medical appointments while we stayed in Gangnam. He picked up prescriptions, provided dinner delivered to the hotel on the day of surgery, checked in periodically, and was altogether pleasant to work with without being intrusive. Above and beyond, Dean and Mona Lisa (whom we sadly did not meet in person) arranged for a private tour guide for several hours after recovery. We opted for a shopping tour, and spent the afternoon with Chloe, who was an absolute delight. Having SCS looking out for us took a lot of stress out of our first trip to Korea. I cannot overstate how pleased we are with the service they provided. 10/10!

Incredible Support from Start to Finish – Thank You, SCS Team!
I came to South Korea at age 27, ready to finally make some adjustments to my face that I’d been wanting for a long time. I’ve always struggled with my wide-set, strong jaw and excess skin on my eyelids, which caused hooded eyes. After researching, I decided to undergo face contouring, double eyelid surgery, and a facelift (the facelift was necessary due to the amount of bone being shaved, which would leave excess skin).
From the very beginning, my experience with SCS Medical Tourism was absolutely wonderful. They took care of everything. Dean and Mona personally reached out to several reputable clinics on my behalf and returned with detailed quotes and thorough explanations of what each clinic recommended to help me achieve the results I wanted. It was so reassuring to receive expert opinions without having to navigate the complex Korean medical system on my own.
Once I chose the clinic I felt most comfortable with, I paid my deposit, booked my flights, and flew to Korea. SCS went above and beyond: they arranged all my transport to and from the airport, scheduled every appointment, and made sure I had a support person with me for every consultation and test. Dean and Mona personally accompanied me during pre-op and post-op appointments, making me feel cared for and never alone during the process.
They handled my medication (which is such a relief when you don’t speak the local language), brought my post-surgery food and liquid meals to my hotel, and stayed in touch every day to check how I was doing.
Even after the surgery, they assisted with things I never would have thought of—like helping me claim my tax refund for the medical procedures at the airport, which I didn’t even know was possible. Their knowledge and care made the entire journey so smooth and stress-free.
I’m truly grateful to Dean, Mona, and the whole SCS team for supporting me through such a big life change. Thank you so much for everything—I will always remember your kindness and professionalism. You made me feel safe, informed, and cared for every step of the way.

Thank you Dean, Mona, and the team at Seoul Cosmetic Surgery (SCS) for a safe and comfortable medical trip. Your care and attention made all the difference for me and I can’t recommend you enough! You treated me like family, and I am grateful for your help and care.
I admit being skeptical at first; I was worried your agency would add costs or just be a scam. You were neither and in fact added so much value. After hearing the help you offered which sounded too good to be true, I looked online at various forums, reviews, and even contacted one of the hospitals to confirm you were a trustworthy business. They all agreed your reputation is top notch.
From the beginning, Dean was incredibly helpful in getting quotes and proposed plans from 4 different reputable hospitals. He was able to do in a few days what would have taken me weeks, and with better pricing.
He had information about individual doctors, and while he resisted recommending anyone in particular, did give me the information I needed to find a doctor experienced in doing the kind of anti-aging procedures I was seeking. I would up after some back and forth at a wonderful hospital with the talented doctor who is know for her lifting work.
A SCS hired driver picked me up from the airport and took me to my Airbnb and they accompanied me for my major appointments, including my consultation. They took me to my Airbnb after the overnight at the hospital and got my meds and made sure I had everything I needed.
The next morning. I unexpectedly was unable to see and that lasted for the better part of 4 days. This happened over a long holiday weekend so the hospital was closed. There I was, alone and 5000 miles away from home in a country where I didn’t speak the language, functionally blind, and could not leave my Airbnb or get groceries or food.
But there was Dean, and Mona. They checked in on me several times a day and thanks to “talk-to-text” I was able ti communicate with them and they ordered my meals, groceries, and went over aftercare instructions with me. They treated me like family and I knew they would pick me up and take me to get emergency medical attention if I needed it. It was the sense or security and support I needed to get through the 4 days.
I thought I did this trip alone, except I didn’t. I had Dean and Mona on my side.

I have checked in with @seoul cosmetic surgery clinic on 1st of May 2025 to get laser treatment on my skin. I have very good experience from the appointment and consultation and the doctor who performed the operation. The operating doctor ended up being Dr.Hwang who has tons of experience with cosmetic procedures which is thumbs up for me. On top of the doctor, all the operation includes seduction which patients shall not feel any pain during the operation. Will come back to get another operation very soon. Thank you.
