VIP Plastic Surgery

Since opening in 2001, VIP Plastic Surgery has provided specialized care centered on facelift, rhinoplasty, and body contouring. Rather than operating as a high-volume, factory-style clinic, VIP Plastic Surgery delivers high-quality medical services built on extensive clinical experience, refined surgical technique, and proven materials, pursuing long-term results and a high level of patient satisfaction. 

All surgeons at VIP Plastic Surgery are board-certified plastic surgeons. 

Dr. Myung Ju Lee, the Medical Director, has treated patients from around the world over more than 25 years of clinical experience, specializing in deep plane facelift and rib cartilage rhinoplasty. He introduced the extended deep plane facelift to Korea and is actively involved in major international academic societies, including the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), where he continues to provide surgical training and academic exchange for medical professionals at home and abroad.

Dr. Yongwoo Lee completed his training, internship, residency, fellowship, and clinical professorship at Pusan National University Hospital's Department of Plastic Surgery. With a deep understanding of facial anatomy, reinforced by training such as the Mendelson Advanced Facial Anatomy Course (MAFAC), he specializes in anti-aging surgery. 

Dr. Seok Geun Yoo served as Professor and Chief of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Wonkwang University Hospital and completed a craniofacial fellowship at UCLA in the United States. He specializes in blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and body contouring surgeries. 

Rather than a one-size-fits-all standard of beauty, VIP Plastic Surgery's medical team pursues customized procedures tailored to each patient, along with natural and stable results, earning the lasting trust of patients at home and abroad. Built on this expertise and trust, the clinic continues to welcome a steady flow of international patients, currently receiving visitors from a wide range of countries across China, Southeast Asia, the United States, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East.

The clinical know-how and refined surgical technique developed through a wide range of cases over many years form the foundation of a medical expertise capable of responding reliably to any situation.

​3. A Systematic Management System for Safe Surgical Outcomes 

​

To ensure safe surgery and recovery for every patient, VIP Plastic Surgery systematically manages the entire process, from pre-operative preparation through post-operative care.

From the moment surgery is decided, VIP Plastic Surgery's medical team and coordinators continuously review each patient's health status and medical history, managing the preparation process together. For international patients, the clinic conducts a thorough review of required tests and health conditions in advance while they are still in their home country, in order to ensure that surgery can be performed with the highest level of safety.

Prior to surgery, depending on the patient's condition, VIP Plastic Surgery conducts detailed examinations including blood tests, urinalysis, electrocardiogram (EKG), and chest X-ray, with additional tests such as cardiac ultrasound and breast ultrasound performed when necessary. All test results are reviewed jointly by the operating surgeon and the medical team to establish a customized surgical plan for each patient, and the feasibility and scope of surgery are determined with safety as the top priority.

During surgery, a board-certified anesthesiologist remains on-site, monitoring the patient's anesthetic and respiratory status in real time from the start of the procedure to its completion. Using state-of-the-art anesthesia equipment, the clinic precisely manages oxygen supply, ventilation, and anesthetic gas concentration to enhance patient safety under general anesthesia.

In addition, the operating rooms employ a positive pressure ventilation system that minimizes the inflow of contaminated outside air and maintains consistent temperature and humidity, creating a clean surgical environment. Together with a systematic sterilization and infection control system, the clinic is equipped with medical devices prepared for emergency situations, maintaining a safe surgical environment throughout.

After surgery, the clinic provides a recovery environment within the same building, where medical staff remain on-site to ensure a rapid response in case of an emergency. In addition, the operating surgeon personally checks each patient's condition every day, performing dressing changes and progress monitoring to support a more stable recovery.

4. All-In-One Plastic Surgery Clinic

VIP Plastic Surgery supports the entire journey, from consultation to surgery, recovery, and follow-up care after returning home as a single, integrated system. From the initial consultation before arriving in Korea to airport transfers, accommodation, recovery programs, and post-return follow-up care, the clinic provides systematic support, offering medical tourism services that allow patients to focus solely on their treatment and recovery.

5. Hotel-Grade Premium Recovery Environment

VIP Plastic Surgery partners with Hi Residences, a 108-room facility located in the same building as the clinic, to provide an environment where patients can recover comfortably and securely. Hi Residences is a hotel-style accommodation that earned the "Best" grade in Jeju City's hygiene management evaluation, placing it within the top 6%.

Each room is equipped with laundry and kitchen facilities, making extended stays possible, and is located within the same building as the clinic, allowing patients to recover conveniently in one place without the need for separate travel. In addition, a professional chef prepares balanced, customized meals designed to support post-surgical recovery, creating a patient-centered recovery environment.

6. Medical Tourism Experienced in Jeju

VIP Plastic Surgery operates a medical tourism program that combines its medical services with the natural environment unique to Jeju. After surgery, patients can experience both rest and recovery in Jeju, enjoying a more comfortable recovery environment through Jeju tourism programs and wellness programs. This setting, where patients can experience Jeju's natural beauty alongside medical care, is one of VIP Plastic Surgery's distinctive strengths in medical tourism.
