I am a plastic surgeon specializing breast surgery. I was involved in many research activities such publishing research material and journals with AAPS (Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery and the research institute of mammoplasty. Since 2007, I regularly to present, perform live surgeries and give lectures at many conferences and symposiums around the world. I was also invited to be a Chairman as well as lecturer for the 17th Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons spring session and for plastic surgeons from Mexico.
I have greatly enjoyed working with Dr. Seul! Since the beginning of my journey with JW and Dr. Seul, he has made me feel so comfortable and confident in my decision. He was completely honest and transparent about my decision, the best options for my body, and how the process and aftercare would work. I enjoyed his level of professionalism and his kindness. As a foreign patient I was very impressed by his demeanor and flexibility with English. He did a fantastic job with my surgery and I’m very pleased with the results so far! Great doctor and great experience!
I am a 37-year-old mother of three who underwent an augmentation mammoplasty, fat transfer, and lower blepharoplasty in November 2022. Despite the challenges posed by travel bans and restrictions, I was able to coordinate my surgery plans with JW Plastic Surgery, the clinic where I had the procedures. I had done my research beforehand and was impressed by the clinic's reputation for achieving excellent results. This was my first major operation, and I had some concerns about undergoing general anesthesia. However, my patient coordinator, Mrs. K, provided me with excellent pre-operative care and made sure that I was well-prepared for both procedures. The post-operative care that I received was also commendable. Despite the hospital being busy, Mrs. K ensured that both myself and my companion were comfortable. In fact, my companion was even given a complimentary facial while waiting for me to recover. Before the procedures, I had very little breast tissue, so I was recommended to have an additional fat transfer. I chose to use MOTIVA implants and explained that my goal was to achieve an ideal body proportion. Dr. Seul was my surgeon, and I must say that he is an artist and a perfectionist. He took the time to understand my goals and measurements and corrected minor differences between my right and left side, which I had not even been aware of. I am very satisfied with the results, and my breasts have settled in nicely. For my lower blepharoplasty, I had Dr. Choi Hong Lim as my surgeon. My under-eye bags were quite pronounced, and Dr. Choi explained that I had the eye bags of an 80-year-old. Unfortunately, I could not opt for a fat repositioning procedure because my under-eye skin was already badly stretched and sagged. It has been three months since the procedure, and my results have exceeded my expectations. I was concerned about a gap between my breasts, but they have deswelled beautifully, and my eyes are beginning to look more natural. I still have some numbness under my eyes, but it is improving over time. Mrs. K continues to check in with me periodically to monitor my progress, which is greatly appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is considering undergoing a similar procedure. I believe that my time and money were well-spent, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
It was amazing. I felt so comfortable and at home. Not being from Korea or speaking the language I was a little nervous going into it, but everyone was so attentive and made sure every question I had was answered. Dr. Seul was so knowledgeable, and I could tell I was in the best hands possible. I knew what I wanted my end result to be, but I never imagined it would be the best decision I ever made. I actually finally feel complete, and that is because of Dr. Seul and the amazing work he does as a surgeon. Thank you.
I had been always feeling insecure with my breasts since I was a teenager due to genetic factor. After years of reading and doing some research about Breast Augmentation, I decided to consult Dr. Seul. And I'm so glad, I made a RIGHT DECISION. Dr. Seul and the entire staff at JW Plastic Surgery are beyond amazing. From the very first consultation until the post surgery/follow-ups, I felt very welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease. Dr. Seul really took his time to explain my conditions with me as well as my treatment options. He is extremely a knowledgeable and personable surgeon. Dr Seul and his team obviously give me a peace of mind of knowing that I'm in good hands for such a life changing surgery. I'm beyond grateful and satisfied with the result I got, and I would highly recommend Dr Seul to anyone! ????? Dr.Seul & team.
Dr Seul is very experienced and he was patient in explaining the whole breast augmentation process. He showed me many similar cases to mine and answered all of my questions. He takes pride in his work and I could see his dedication - he treated my surgery like a sculptor to his marble, crafting a work of art. My scars are healed very well and it was very refined. I am very happy with my resutls.
It's been six months since I had my combination breast augmentation surgery. I had my consultation with Dr. Seul at JW Plastic Surgery in Seoul, Korea. I had been toying with the idea to get bigger boobs but didn't want to be TOO big. more natural, and "did she, or didn't she" get her boobs done kind of uncertainty when people see me. A few days prior to the surgery date I had my vitals taken to ensure I was healthy enough for surgery. Really nice they take the extra precautions. Surgery day, I had to fast for 6 hours prior to my surgery time. I had a TON of questions and my consultant, Jenny, along with Dr. Seul, was gracious in answering every single one of them during my consultation, pre-surgery vital check, and via email. I wasn't nervous the morning of surgery as everyone was very communicative and gave me all the details of "what was happening next". Dr. Seul drew the surgery lines on my body himself and he was very good at explaining to me what was planned for my personalized combination breast augmentation. My surgery lasted 4 hours. I ended up with 275cc, Motiva implants, along with fat grafting extracted from my thighs. The incisions were made under my boobs along the natural curve line and placed under the muscle. My follow-up appointments were anywhere from a few times the week of the surgery, weekly, monthly, then depending on how they were healing, were adjusted appropriately. Every single appointment I was seen by Dr. Seul himself! I was really happy he was able to see my progress himself to give me my tailored recovery aftercare. My recommended methods for healing quickly and with minimal scarring included usage of whitening creams, scar gels, and Vitamin E (taken orally).Pros: I LOVE the way they turned out. I really didn't want giant Dolly Parton boobs, but I natural, don't need a bra, feel good in my skin, kind of boobs. I got them and I'm really glad that I was able to put my trust into Dr. Seul as he had the final decision on what would be good for my body type/size in the surgery room. Wearing bikinis has been REALLY AWESOME. The incision points are minimal, and I have no regrets in getting the implants. Cons; It feels like a stack of books on top of you the first few days after surgery. Some sleepless nights that first month or so after surgery occur. Since I got fat grafting from my thighs, I was super bruised on my legs for awhile. Any bruises I had (boobs and thighs) went away after about 2-3 weeks. Overall, I'm really happy with the results! I was in good hands with my surgery and I can't recommend enough JW Plastic Surgery Clinic.
Due to some medical complications, I decided to go through with a breast revision/augmentation in order to fix my previous breast surgery. I had also decided to go through with an abdominoplasty. Dr. Seul is an amazing doctor. He successfully performed the procedure and I am so excited to see the final results in a few months. Walking into the medical office, I was astonished by its beauty and cleanliness. The workers were remarkable as well. In particular, one of the English translators, Jenny, was absolutely amazing. Coming from Canada with no Korean speaking skills is definitely terrifying but Jenny truly eased this transition doing her best to aid me with anything I needed. Alongside with Jenny, Dr. Seul spoke English quite well which made the consultation clear and concise. After the successful procedure, there were many addition appointments to ensure my body was healing properly. I frequently visited the office for check-ups and the nurses cared for me incredibly well. There were additional services as well such as hair washing, facials, vitamin drips to help patients with daily tasks which may be difficult to accomplish after surgery. Choosing JW Plastic Surgery was definitely a great decision and I am so thankful for all their help and services.
I finally took the leap of faith and got a breast augmentation done in March 2019. The decided to do it in South Korea because of its international reputation as a plastic surgery capital of the world and narrowed down my choice to JW Clinic specifically. I had the privilege of personally meeting the JW clinic representatives when they were at a Beauty Convention in Singapore sometime before that. They answered all my questions and their perceptiveness in anticipating and reassuring me on some of my biggest concerns about the surgery was remarkable. The surgery was done by Dr Chul Hwan Seul, a top board certified plastic surgeon (all JW surgeons are board certified). The entire process from initial consultations right down to the day of surgery and even consultations after was seamless. JW staff are used to handling international patients and speak perfect English. Dr Chul recommended Motive Ergonormix implants based on my active lifestyle. The operation went smoothly (first operation of my life, ever) and there was zero pain except for mild tightness on the chest for the few days after the operation. I practically walked out of the hospital and back to my hotel beaming in pleasant surprise a few hours of the surgery.It has been 3 months post surgery and I have pretty much resumed my active lifestyle, gymming up to 3 times a week. True to JW’s stellar track record, the recovery process has been pleasant and so easy its hard to believe at times. This has affirmed my confidence of choosing JW Plastic Surgery and I am now looking forward to getting more procedures done there! Next on my wish list- rhinoplasty!The options we have these days with globalisation and the internet is bewildering and can confuse you and even cause much disappointment if you settle for the wrong options. Doing proper research and making the right choice is so critical and will be immensely rewarding.A huge thank you to Dr Chul Hwan Seul and all the JW staff who were such a reassuring presence from day one - they honestly walk the talk and you will have to try it to believe it!With much appreciationSerene
I have always wanted to get Breast Augmentation ever since I was in high school. I was worried & hesitated due to the possible health risk that could occur. After 15 years of hesitation, I decided to choose to do breast augmentation. After 2 years of research & consultations I decided on JW & Dr. Seul. My decision stems from my research into Dr. Seul and my consultations with him. Dr. Seul is very knowledge & experienced, he was genuinely interested & passionated in the topic. I felt that he was going to do a good job. I trust his skill & recommendations. I went with Dr. Seul's suggestion of combination breast augmentation (Motive Implant + fat graft). I am 2 weeks post-op & can say I am very satisfied with the natural result. There was minimal pain & discomfort and I am very confident that the scarring with fade. I attribute these to Dr. Seul's great skill and his detail-orientated nature. I strongly recommend Dr. Seul for any ladies that are interested Breast Augmentation.
After had two kids, I have been thinking about doing a breast augmentation for a while. I decided to go to South Korea to get it done, because South Korea is the plastic surgery capital of the world J and for that reason, there are too many clinics to choose from. I have done a lot of research, contacted many clinics and eventually decided to go with JW Plastic Surgery Centre, Dr. Seul. Here are the reasons why: 1. Very informative online consultation – I contacted the clinic through emails initially, my English consultant Emily was very thorough with her responses, she even sent me medical pictures to address my concerns. I had a really feeling about this clinic to start with. 2. Successful face to face consultation - Once I got to Korea, I went in for face to face consultation with Dr. Seul. He communicated with me fluently in English throughout the whole consultation, patiently explained to me about the types of implant, incision decisions, surgical procedures, potential risks and aftercare. It definitely made me more comfortable and confident about the upcoming surgery. 3. Caring staff - My English Consultant Emily was with me the whole time during consultation, surgery and each medical checkup. She is very sweet and caring, she has strong knowledge about the surgery procedures to answer all of my questions. All the nurses and front desk staff at the clinic are very efficient and kind. After surgery I had to wear the strap to secure the implants in place, although it was very uncomfortable, I felt it really provided me with the best result at the end of the day. I am really glad I chose Dr Seul to give me the combination surgery of implant and fat injection, it gives me a very natural look. I am one month after the surgery, my breasts are still swelling but I am quite satisfied with the result. I highly recommend JW Plastic Surgery Centre and Dr Seul to any of my friends.
When sagging breasts are enlarged with implants without lifting, there is a high possibility that the breast shape will not be good after surgery (Snoopy nose deformity or waterfall deformity) if a moderate profile is used. Rather, using a high profile is advantageous in improving deflection. However, 520cc is expected to be too large and unnatural, and around 300cc seems to be appropriate. If you do periareolar mastopexy, the sagging breasts will be properly corrected and the shape will be better, but if you do lifting like this, the shape will be fine even if you use moderate projection.
Given your conditions, I recommend considering implants in the range of 300cc to 330cc for a result that aligns well with the desired photos. However, it's important to note that an accurate examination and specific consultation are necessary to predict the most suitable implant size for you. This personalized approach ensures the best possible outcome based on your unique factors and preferences. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out for a detailed consultation.
As a breast augmentation specialist, I recommend a moderate profile for you to achieve a natural look. High-profile implants in the 260-300cc range may result in a smaller diameter relative to your chest width, potentially creating a wider space between the breasts. Despite your wish pictures, a more natural outcome tailored to your unique conditions is possible. Clear communication is essential to ensure a personalized and satisfying result. If you have any specific concerns or questions, feel free to discuss them further.
There appears to be a superior malposition, with the right implant rising upward. Reoperation appears to be necessary to remove the right implant, expand the space downward, and then insert a new implant. If there is currently capsular contracture and superior malposition has occurred due to this, capsulectomy to remove the capsule may also be necessary.
To determine the size of the implant, an examination is important and various factors must be checked. Chest width, thickness of tissue, nipple to inframammary fold distance (resting/maximal stretch), degree of ptosis, size desired by the patient, etc. must be known, and the appropriate dimension may vary depending on the surgical method. During the surgery, a sizer - a temporary implant, is used by adjusting the amount of saline injected to determine the optimal size of the implant that will give it the prettiest shape. You should consult a plastic surgeon via 1:1 consultation and discuss the size and dimension of the implant during your consultation. Still, if we roughly estimate it, you would need an implant of 250 to 350 cc.
