Seung Ki Youn, MD

I am currently 3 months post facelift surgery. I had a great experience with Dr. Youn, he speaks perfect English and understood what I wanted. Everything that was requested was done, and the recovery although long, has also been going great. The scars are minimal and came back for some injections that will continue to help the healing process. I got to see my before and after pics, the after being my 3 month pics and its clear the difference the surgery has done. The great thing is that it still continues to improve. As a foreigner, I felt more at peace that Dr Youn spoke perfect English and eased my worries and all the staff at VILF helped me along the way and even after surgery have been texting to see how im doing and have answered questions when ever I ve had them. I strongly recommend VLIF if you're looking for a facelift given that that is their specialty, and they only do facelifts, it makes perfect sense to me to do it with a clinic which focuses on that.

Iam in my late 40s and currently 7 weeks post surgery for my facelift with Dr. Youn at Vlif. I flew from NY to Seoul for the surgery. The whole surgery procedure went very smoothly. Bella (my main point of contact) and all the assistants there were very nice. After surgery, I did not feel any pain, the only discomfort was from the bandage wrapping and the swelling, and having to look in the mirror (as expected there were swelling and bruises). Drainage was removed on the 3rd day, the stitches were removed on the 7th day. I had multiple deswelling IVs and laser treatments during my follow up visits to the clinic. On my last day in Seoul, Dr. Youn gave me a laser scar treatment. Most of the swelling and bruising went down by 4-6 weeks. Iam already EXTREMELY HAPPY with my results (I was told complete healing takes up to 6 months). The results is very natural, most people say I look younger but can not straight out tell I had a face lift. Originally, I was really bothered with the sagging of the jawline, nasolabial folds and cheek areas. Now, my face is lifted, rejuvenated and the jawline has improved 100%... AMAZING! Dr. Youn is super sweet and is an amazingly skilled surgeon. The trip and surgery was completely worth it!

I am 47 years old and I been wanting a facelift. I found V.LIF on purseforum from their good reviews they had on there and decided to go with them. Bella was the coordinator that helped us with everything and Dr. Youn recommended that I get a forehead and mini face lift. What I liked about this clinic was that even if I had questions about other surgeries that I thought I needed, Bella and Dr. Youn only recommended me the surgery I needed. They did not push any unnecessary procedures that I hear other clinics do. On the day I visited the clinic, I had a ton of questions , but Bella helped me answer most of it before I met with Dr. Youn the day after. On the day of the surgery, I was pretty nervous, but Bella and Dr. Youn made sure I would be okay and taken care of. The pain of the surgery honestly was not that painful, I just felt uncomfortable with the drainage and stitches in my skin. When it was taken out, I felt a lot better and gradually started to see the swelling go down a lot faster. I went in for a few post op check ups before my flight and the nurses made sure I was taken care of and my wounds were clean. I had an Airbnb pretty close to the clinic and I recommend to get an Airbnb or hotel close to clinic because mine was about 5 minutes walking distance. It made everything more convenient when I had to see the doctor. Also, for my stay in Seoul, I was going to only stay 2 weeks, but I’m glad I booked my trip for 3 and a half weeks because the swelling was pretty bad the first two weeks. After two and a half weeks post op, I see most of the swelling on my temples and forehead, but the bottom half of my face slimmed down. I still have some bruising around my eyes, but hopefully it’ll be gone in another week. The sagging I had previously, seems to be all taken care of and I cannot wait for all the swelling to be gone.

Dr Seung Ki Youn performed a face lift surgery for me. He did the face & neck lift, endoscopic forehead (brow) lift, lower blepharoplasty & fat grafting on my upper eye-lids. His handwork is good resulting in very fine & neat stitches. Dr Youn speaks good English making direct communication possible without a translator. He is professional, patience & assuring. He addressed my concerns and allayed my fear during consultation. His post-surgery care service gives me much comfort and assurance I needed.

I had some areas in my face who let me feel very uncomfortable. So I talked with Dr.Youn. He speaks 100% English what let me feel save and I had no worry’s about the communication. He’s taking enough Time for an professional consultation. I got forehead reduction and lifting , sides of my checks lifting and double chin liposuction. After the surgery he took very good care of me and I had almost no pain. I’m so surprised how it turned out after 3 months now , it didn’t only affected the surgery area in a good way it made my whole face prettier (eyelids more higher and all my face lines are gone) I go finnaly out without make up thanks to the incredible turn out. This hospital has a high reputation in Korea for face&neck lift surgery and I can only agree as my face got so much more pretty. I’m so glad I found this hospital with that professional Dr, I only can recommend him to everyone.

I had forehead lift with Endotine done. I wanted to correct how my eyebrows go downwards in the middle that made me look angry all the time. Why I choose v.lif over other clinic was because I never felt pressured into having this procedure done. They made me comfortable and worked within my budget. I liked V.lif. because the doctor and receptionist speak English very well. Yura helped me book and schedule and was great with communication. The clinic is located on the 10floor while waiting for my consultation I grabbed Starbucks latte on the 1st floor to go. They’re waiting area is boujee, Everything looked new and clean. * week 1 post OP I was so swollen, eyes bruised and numb. There was constant pressure and if I stood up sometimes randomly I would get lightheaded and feel short of breath. I had to get used to falling asleep sitting up. I got my stitches taken out but I didn’t feel any pain because my scalp still lacks feeling. * week 2 there was less edema. I have these large knots hidden in my hairline. One eyebrow is paralyzed and the other one was mobile and higher. the doctor assured me it’s not the final product. I’m still in the healing phase and it’s just more swelling in different areas. Also my eyebrows were already asymmetrical with one being slightly higher so the swelling made it appear even worse. * Week 3 I would get random itchy sensation like I need to scratch my forehead but it’s so numb I don’t feel the satisfaction of scratching the area. * Week 4 The scars are fading, but so small in the hairline it’s not noticeable. I’m finally able to move my eyebrows and their symmetrical. Overall pleased with the look it’s naturally raised.
