Dr Kim did my Rhinoplasty in July. I had a large, flat and short nose, wide alars and no bridge and wanted a nose that would improve my physical appearance and facial harmony. From consultation to aftercare Dr Kim showed care, understanding of my needs and great esthetics. I’m 2 months post op so still very swollen as I have thick skin but my nose is already drastic improvement! I’m looking forward to see what it will look like in a year.
I recently had a breast lift with augmentation at Eight Plastic Surgery with Dr. Kim Han Jo, and I wanted to share my experience for anyone considering it. Consultation: My consultation was really helpful. The surgeon explained my options, what to expect, and the potential risks. One thing I learned: bring a list of questions. It's easy to forget what you want to ask once you're in the room. I would also follow up afterward with a text to confirm understanding, options, and what's included in the price. Surgery Day: Surgery day went smoothly. The staff made me feel calm and comfortable, and everything was explained step by step. The English translator was there to translate as needed; however, almost everyone I encountered, Dr. Kim, the consultant, and the desk staff, was all very fluent in English. I would try to get aftercare instructions before the surgery unless you have someone with you, which I would advise. I was loopy from the anesthesia and did not have a clear mind, but otherwise felt fine physically. Aftercare & Follow-Ups: There were several follow-up appointments to make sure everything was healing as it should. I recommend taking notes or asking for written instructions after each visit because it's easy to forget little details. If anything is unclear, reach out. I sent a few texts with questions, and the team always responded quickly. Healing Process: Healing takes patience. The first couple of weeks, I had swelling and bruising that made me second-guess things, but it has improved daily. There is a “torpedo” stage and a “drop and fluff” stage. Trust the healing process. Follow the aftercare instructions and wear the correct compression bras as directed. Now that I'm a couple of months out, I feel good about my decision. It is definitely an improvement from before. My results are looking more natural, and I’m happy we chose the right size to fit my body. It hasn't been an overnight change, and I am still healing, but taking it one day at a time has been the best advice. I would still make the choice to undergo the procedure at Eight if I had to do it again.
Had a great primary rhinoplasty experience at Eight with Dr. Kim Hanjo! He was fluent in English which made me feel super comfortable throughout the consultation and all other staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The surgery itself was very quick and I felt much better than expected afterwards. I had a smooth recovery and was able to explore Seoul for the rest of my stay. A month later I’m very happy with the result and it looks better and better every day as swelling goes down. First five photos are a month post op, rest are before. Facilities were very clean and modern. Red light therapy for de swelling was also available upon request which I recommend taking advantage of as much as possible as it helped my recovery a lot!!
I had an amazing experience at Eight Plastic Surgery with Dr. Kim Han-jo for my rhinoplasty revision (nose tip and alar reduction). Dr. Kim is fluent in English, which made the entire process easy to understand and truly put me at ease from start to finish. He clearly explained the issues with my nose tip and detailed the possible approaches to improve the lift. The consultation was thorough, and the clinic’s English-speaking staff made communication effortless. I appreciated the collaborative atmosphere and the transparency throughout my journey. It’s been just over a month since my surgery, and I’m very happy with the results. Surgery day went smoothly, and my recovery was easier than I expected — no pain, just some swelling and bruising for about a week. Even with some swelling still present, I already love how my nose looks. If you’re considering rhinoplasty in Korea, I highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Did rhinoplasty with Dr Kim and the results were stellar.. it was so natural that my friends and family could barely tell I did anything. I think you should go prepared with a vision board and let the doctor know what direction you’re going for. It also helps that Dr Kim is fluent in English so there wasn’t anything lost in translation. Honestly that was also one of the biggest draw factor I chose Eight Clinic. The operation was so quick, less than 1.5 hours and i was done. Recovery was also very quick, 2 weeks and I was back to work.
I had my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim Han Jo and his results exceeded my expectations. I was unhappy with my primary nose as it felt long and the tip has drooped. During my consultation, Dr Kim immediately understood my concerns. It was a huge bonus that he could speak English as well because he confirmed many small details with me which made all the difference but the translator at the clinic was lovely and helped me with everything else that I needed during my stay. My case was slightly complicated as my primary doctor from another clinic did not listen to my requests. Dr. Kim had to remove the silicone implant that I did not originally want and this time he used my own rib cartilage as it holds better support long term. As the old doctor shaved down the bone of my nasal bridge, it made my nose look too long for my face. Dr Kim had a good eye for detail and grafted the soft tissues back into my nasal bridge to create more harmony during graft from my tailbone. My end result came out quite natural. My experience here was extremely positive and I left happy because the Doctor listened to what I wanted and his level of care and detail made all the difference and I would highly recommend this clinic and would return myself again.
I had my rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Kim Hanjo, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The surgery went smoothly, and he delivered exactly what I asked for—a natural, refined look that complements my features. The clinic was exceptionally clean, and the staff were attentive and professional throughout the entire process. I also underwent incisional eyelid surgery with Dr. Park Minwoo, who perfectly achieved the eye shape I had envisioned. The results are beautifully balanced with the rest of my facial features, and I’m incredibly satisfied with the outcome.
I had amazing results with Dr Kim, he is very knowledgeable about what looks best for your nose and explains in great detail how he will approach the process to achieve the results. I am only 1 1/2 weeks. There is still swelling so I can’t wait to see the full result, but already I’ve had a lot of compliments saying my noses natural and looks slimmer! I’ve had an alarplasty as well as a bulbous tip reduction with ear cartilage. Dr Kim explain that there is a limit to how much could be reduced which was nice to hear because he wants best for your nose appearance. I’m very happy and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a rhinoplasty. The post op was stress free and my scars are barely visible.
Got breast augmentation and double eyelid surgery done at Eight PS and I am beyond happy with my experience! If you are travelling to Korea for surgery, I would highly recommend setting up a consultation with them!
