Myung Ju Lee, MD, PhD

I cannot thank and recommend VIP Plastic Surgery enough! After over a year of research, I chose Dr Myung Ju Lee, MD, PhD for my deep plane facelift, endoscopic brow and temple lift, genioplasty, lower bleph, and lip lift and the results are incredibly natural. Dr. Lee is a true artist, giving me the refreshed look I wanted without looking “done”. The level of skill and precision here is unmatched. From start to finish, my experience at VIP Plastic Surgery in Jeju was absolutely seamless. From the private airport pickup by Eric to the luxury in-building accommodation, I felt safe and cared for every second. The aftercare is what truly sets them apart—daily anti-swelling facials, oxygen chamber therapy, and regular check-ins with Dr. Lee, even on weekends. Additional thanks go to Dr Kim, JoAnn the manager, Julia the coordinator, the hardworking “Kims” in the lounge with their healing and delicious food and the entire warm and friendly staff. VIP Plastic Surgery provides a complete, stress-free makeover journey for the international medical tourist.

I had been considering plastic surgery for quite some time when I came across VIP Clinic during my research. From the very beginning, I was impressed by their website—it was beautifully designed, easy to navigate, and very informative. What stood out most was their all-inclusive approach, which covered accommodations, airport transportation, and thoughtfully prepared meals. Having everything coordinated in one place made the process feel seamless and stress-free. From my first contact with the clinic, I encountered an exceptionally professional and responsive team who took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Upon arrival in Korea, I had an in-person consultation with Dr. Myung Ju Lee, followed by a secondary consultation to address any additional questions that arose. Joanne, the director, guided me through the entire experience with incredible care and attention. She made me feel completely at ease and genuinely supported, as if I were in the care of a close friend. The entire staff was courteous, kind, and attentive. My coordinator, Julia, was truly outstanding—she managed countless details effortlessly and always with a warm smile. Both the pre-operative and post-operative teams were excellent, and I truly cannot imagine a better overall experience. Following surgery, the clinic utilized advanced recovery technologies to support healing, including daily facials, red light therapy, oxygen chamber sessions, and nourishing Korean healing meals. Julia kept me informed of my daily schedule and consistently checked in to ensure I had everything I needed. As for the procedures themselves, they were not easy, and recovery has been a process. I underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Mi Jung Kim, who did an exceptional job and carefully respected my natural eye crease. Dr. Myung Ju Lee was equally remarkable—he checked on me daily and remained available to answer questions even after I returned to the United States two weeks later. While I am still in the recovery phase, I feel confident that I will be very happy with my final results in the coming months. I am deeply grateful to the entire VIP Clinic team for their professionalism, care, and dedication throughout this journey. Highly recommended.

To Dr. Lee, JoAnn, and the VIP Team, I wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude for the exceptional experience I had over the past two weeks during my facelift surgery at VIP. From the start, Dr. Lee and JoAnn have been incredibly professional, and I am deeply appreciative of their expertise. The entire team has been attentive, kind, and always willing to assist with anything I needed throughout my stay. One aspect I would especially like to highlight is the thoughtful inclusion of an apartment and meals for patients. This made my recovery process much more comfortable and eased my mind after the surgery, allowing me to focus on healing. VIP Plastic Surgery is a one stop solution for your surgery. How they make the preparation from the start until the Post-op care, it was a whole great deal of service. I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Lee, JoAnn, and the entire VIP team especially the Indonesian coordinator and translatot Myke for their outstanding care, kindness, and support during my stay.

I recently underwent nose, eye and facial surgeries at VIP Plastic Surgery in Jeju, and I am extremely grateful for the entire experience and results. This clinic came highly recommended by a friend, and I also spent a great deal of time researching before embarking on this very personal and difficult decision. It was my first time undergoing cosmetic surgery, and my top two priorities were safety and achieving a natural, refreshed look—nothing exaggerated or “done.” I am truly glad that I placed my trust in Dr. Lee and Dr. Kim and their exceptional team. Both doctors are highly skilled with an incredible eye for facial harmony while preserving natural beauty. The results exceeded my expectations—everything turned out so natural, and I could not be happier. What I appreciate most is also that both doctors never pushed for unnecessary procedures. They clearly know what is needed and always prioritize patient safety when making recommendations. I would also like to commend the entire medical team and staff, especially Director JoAnn, who went above and beyond in caring for me. I experienced significant pain during the first two nights, and being alone and frightened, I reached out for help. JoAnn responded to my calls even in the middle of the night and made personal efforts to see to my wellbeing. The medical team also worked late into the night to provide extra care and attention when needed, for which I am deeply grateful. My coordinator, Julia, along with the front desk and clinic staff including Meky, Julie, the facial room team, and the residence staff, were consistently kind, attentive, and helpful throughout my stay. Despite the constant flow of patients and their incredibly busy schedules, they never failed to greet everyone by name with warmth, positivity, and a genuine willingness to help. The chefs in the kitchen were equally thoughtful and considerate, taking special care of me during my recovery when I was feeling especially weak. Last but not least, Eric, the chauffeur, was incredibly friendly and supportive—from picking me up at the airport to driving me to all my checkups, and even acting as the best tour guide around Jeju. I am very thankful that everything turned out so well. This is truly a clinic that delivers beautiful, natural results while genuinely caring for the well-being and safety of their patients. I highly recommend them.

I came to VIP Plastic Surgery to fix my eyes issue. I experience failed ptosis surgery in Thailand. So i came here to hope that dr.Lee can fix the imbalance eyelids. I was amazed by the services here. Even from the start when their private driver mr.Eric came and pick us up at the airport, also later on bring us around to enjoy Jeju island tour. I enjoyed his kind and professional service. Our comfortable accommodation was provided by the clinic. It is a clean with a beautiful view self-service apartment. Give us more like a home-feel stay instead of hospital-feel during my recovery. Dr.Lee and Dr.Kim consultation was very clear and professional. They explained what are the technic that they are going to do during surgery and with the help of Myke the Indonesian translator, it really put my heart in peace as everything is so clear. After the surgery, they provide a post-op treatment such as daily facial to reducr my swellingness and fasten my recovery. I would like to say Thank you so much to all the VIP team for such a great service. I will surely come back again to continue my beautiful journey here. Success always VIP

Pengalaman saya selama di VIP plastic surgery pelayanan bagus, staff-staffnya ramah, dokter dan suster2 di sini sangat baik dan membantu sekali, akomodasi bersih dan lengkap saya sangat puas sekali. Disini juga sediakan supir pribadi dan mobil, mr.Eric memberikan servis yang memuaskan. Saya berharap cepat sembuh dan hasilnya memuaskan.

Simply stated, Dr. Lee is the best plastic surgeon. PERIOD!! Yes, we did a lot of research prior to selecting Dr. Lee and why did we decide on his practice? His total care management package really appealed to me and my husband. Both my husband and I had deep plane face and neck lift, upper and lower bleph and fat transfer. From the minute we arrived in South Korea, his team was already taking care of us. Picking us up from the airport and taking us directly to his practice and client residences. We met his whole team and had a lengthy consultation with Dr. Lee about the procedures we selected some of which he didn't think was necessary. What doctor would say that? The surgery went very smoothly (I have no recall since I was given anesthesia, and felt a lot of tightness when I woke up to the entire surgical team and nurses speaking to me to wake up. Once I was up a nurse attended to my every need until I was ready to return to my room. Each day after surgery, I had an appointment with Dr. Lee and his team to review my dressing, check the stitches and answer any questions or concerns I had, then it was heat therapy followed by a cool down facial, and lovely neck and upper back massage. In the afternoon, I also had a hyperbaric therapy which also accelerates healing for those who can lay in the oxygen chamber. I loved it so much I would lay there for an hour easily. All this plus home made meals served 3xs a day for the first 4 days from the lovely and talented chefs. We opted to continue the meal plan for another 5 days since it was so convenient and delicious. We went from our room to the private dining area for VIP Plastic Surgery patients. My recovery was a lot faster than I expected. Another important component is the ability to meet and speak to other patients are also having procedures and see how they progress and sharing insights was also really comforting and helpful. We left after 14 days with the all clear form Dr. Lee and both of us feel amazing and look pretty dam good! Dr. Lee is a 6 star surgeon and his VIP Plastic Surgery facility is incredible. Best plastic surgeon ever!

My experience with Dr. Lee and the VIP team was exceptional. After a year of research, I chose VIP and was impressed by their professionalism and organization. Dr. Lee is highly skilled, precise, and knowledgeable. The entire staff—Eric, Julia, Joanne, Dr. Kim, and the nurses—provided outstanding service and care. The post-operative support, including daily check-ins, facials, and the oxygen chamber, far exceeded expectations. VIP sets a high standard for surgical expertise, patient care, and overall experience. Highly recommend.

I could not be happier with the results of my surgery by Dr. Lee at the VIP clinic in beautiful Jeju, South Korea. Dr. Lee's world-renowned expertise, scholarship, and years of experience helped guide my decision to choose Dr. Lee. He has an artist's eye, great precision and skill. I'd also like to highlight the amazing Staff at VIP: Expertise care, kindness, and hospitality are how I would describe Dr. Lee's amazing Staff. It seems strange to describe having a surgery as being a fun experience; however, it was a fun experience! I don't want to diminish the reality of recovery and time that it takes to heal; however, VIP makes that very enjoyable.

So happy to have found VIP. Dr Lee and his entire staff were amazing. They helped me through every step of my procedure, communicating and making me comfortable and safe at all times. They are very caring and professional. I am thrilled with my results. Thank you Dr Lee, Dr Park, Joann, Julia and all the wonderful staff for everything!
