I had rhinoplasty done in SK at eight plastic surgery in late April. I had a dorsal hump removal, osteotomy, septorhinoplasty, and tip plasty. I chose Eight based on their natural results and their experience with Caucasian noses. I’m very happy with my results because it’s very natural. Dr. Joo Oh-Young did my surgery and did a great job at making my nose more feminine while keeping the integrity. I told him I didn’t want an “instagram” nose and that I wanted it to fit me still. The clinic was clean and it was easy to communicate from the beginning. I would recommend eight for any foreigners with dorsal hump because I’ve seen how unnatural other clinics’ results are and I felt like I got exactly what I asked for. Healing has been extremely easy for me and I was able to walk around Seoul with a mask for a week. Photos attached are one month post op. Still very swollen but I couldn’t be more pleased with the results!
I chose Dr. Joo for my rhinoplasty because he had good reviews on Reddit, Real self and also Google about his rhinoplasty results. Dr. Joo spoke perfect English and I was able to explain to him exactly the nose I wanted. He helped set my expectations realistically on what could and could not be achieved. I originally had a bulbous, flat nose with tough skin. So he let me know what he could work with regarding my nose. They also did a complimentary MRI of my nose structure. He throughly explained the entire procedure in detail and I felt comfortable going through with the procedure. My nose is still healing and despite the swelling it is still much better than my previous nose and I know it will only get better as the months go on. He also listened to me about wanting to keep my “ethnic” nose. I wanted the nose I had but more defined and natural looking and gave me exactly that. Im still healing because it’s only been a month, but my nose now is still better than it was before and I now it will only continue to get better.
I recently had a procedure done with Dr. Joo Oh Young at Eight Plastic Surgery, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, Dr. Joo demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and compassion. They took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer all of my questions, and ensure I felt completely comfortable with every step of the process. The results exceeded my expectations — natural, beautifully balanced, and truly confidence-boosting.
It’s been one month since my rhinoplasty and double eyelid revision with Dr. Joo Oh-Young, and I’m genuinely so happy with the results. Everything looks natural, well-balanced, and already very refined despite the short healing time. Dr. Joo speaks fluent English, which made everything easy to understand and helped me feel completely at ease. He really listened to what I wanted and explained the whole process clearly and patiently. A big thank you to Yunie as well—her help and kindness made the entire experience feel safe and smooth, especially as a tourist. I felt truly cared for every step of the way. If you’re thinking about rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Joo Oh-Young for both his skill and his thoughtful approach.
Great experience! I love my results! Very natural and I felt so comfortable from start to finish! The staff were including the doctor was very nice and accomodating. I highly recommend this place especially for Rhinoplasty.
This was my first time getting any kind of plastic surgery, so I was quite nervous, but researching a LOT online, I saw that Eight Plastic Surgery had consistently high reviews, so I chose Eight for bulbous nose surgery and I am SO glad I did. I met with Dr. Joo, and he is wonderful!! I told him all my all my concerns and requests during the consultation. As an American, I can tell you that his English is perfect (I actually thought he was a Korean-American!) After I told him what I wanted, he explained exactly what the procedure would entail. I told him that I wanted the surgery to be done so the results look natural and fit my face. He did EXACTLY what I requested, I am so incredibly happy with the results. I am now 3 months post procedure, and can say it really changed my life and confidence. I'm not longer anxious about taking pictures. I absolutely recommend!
I'm just adding before-and-after pics. For the nose, I wanted a slight change so that it was a bit straighter. The chin implant was the most significant change. Always thought I had a bit of a weak chin
Dr Joo Oh-Young was detailed in the consult and helped me feel at ease, as he ensured that we were on the same page for what results I could expect. He listened to what I wanted - natural but noticeable results, and also provided his professional opinion when requested. I'm really happy with my results so far (tiplasty and DES) and it really has only gotten better over time.
Dr Joo did not recommend anything more than what I genuinely needed, and was not at all pushy with any of the treatments. He also took the time to design my new nose exactly how I wanted and it came out very similar to my reference photos. Incredibly satisfied with his professionalism and eye for detail!
I received incision double eyelid surgery at Eight Plastic Surgery by Doctor Joo Oh Young. He listened to and addressed all my concerns and was very thorough in this consultation. He did not push me to get any unnecessary procedures. The surgery was painless and I am pleased with the results!
Hello, I'm Dr. Oh-Young Joo, from Eight Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, South Korea. It would be better if you could provide me photos from the side as well. To make your nose look more 'narrow', the following procedures may be needed. First, a tip plasty to correct the bulbous tip. If you have a not-so-high tip projection from the side view, making a more projected tip would make the nose look more narrow, and you can simulate this at home by lifting your tip by putting Q-tips in both your nostrils and lifting them upwards. Also, to correct the bulbous tip (fullness), cartilage trimming and sutures are essential. Second, an alar width narrowing procedure, such as 'weir excision'.The alar width looks wide and correcting this width would make your nose make more narrow. Thank You. As you have mentioned the side view looks good since you have adequate radix height and tip projection. I assume that you have some concerns regarding the frontal view of your nose. To improve your 'dorsal aesthetic line', an osteotomy to narrow the upper half of the nose, and a weir-excision to narrow the alar width could be possible Thank You.

Hello, I'm Dr. Oh-Young Joo from Eight Plastic Surgery Clinic, South Korea. From the photos that you have posted, it seems that you have both bony/septal deviations. To be more accurate a facial CT scan will be needed, which we have equipped at our clinic. The nostril asymmetry could be caused by both 1) size discrepancy of left and right cartilages2) septal deviation For bony deviation, a correction process by surgery including osteotomy would be needed and for aesthetic purposes a hump reduction seems preferable. Also, to address the deviation in the lower part of the nose, caused by septal deviation a septoplasty and tip plasty (to fix the cartilage discrepancy issue) could be reasonable. These procedures could also help with the functional issues (breathing problems). Thank You.
