AB Plastic Surgery - Seoul

This was my first surgery.

Procedure done: Sliding Genioplasty,

Concerns: A receding chin. I wanted to improve my look, and fix the issue of discomfort when needing to close my mouth. Due to my recessed chin, I needed to use chin muscles to push up my lower lip, and suck in air to create a vacuum and keep my lips closed. This issue was gone immediately after surgery.

After research and multiple online consultations, I decided to go with AB Plastic surgery because of their great cost and reputation.

CONSULTATION & PRE-SURGERY

In-person consultations can be done, but i opted for the online one.

It was done through whatsapp where I needed fill out a form. They got back to me within 10 days, and then I needed to firstly share photos of my face. They recommended me genioplasty, and helped me to figure out the timeline in conjunction with my asia trip.

They were able to answer all my concerns regarding diet, post-op care, and post-op flights, and within reasonable time.

I booked the next in-person consult/surgery, which required a refundable deposit of 1,000,000 KRW. The surgery time is only jnown a day before I was able to give them a preferred time.

SURGERY DAY

After talking to reception, I was introduced to the translator assigned to me. I read some things online about translators but Their translators were nice and had perfect english. The surgeon/doctor, Jo Dong Pil, was able to speak to me in full english, but most staff didn’t speak english.

Everything went great! the only thing that at the time I felt was odd was that even before the consultation, I had to buy the medications. Which I felt shouldve been the next step after consulting, and giving the green light.

Otherwise I had to do examinations, x-rays, and a blood test, to make sure everything was okay. Afterwards I talked to the doctors which gave their inputs, and I expressed exactly what I was looking for and show them examples pictures of what I wanted, and agreed on how much to push my chin forward (it was 7mm).

Once that was done I paid the remaining amount, and I was instructed to wash up, gargle, and change into clean clothes for surgery. They explained to me post-op care and I was given a bag filled with instructions and things i needed. Such as a chin compression bandages, an ice pack specifically for chins, saline water for gargling, edible jellies to help with swelling, and more.

I got onto the surgery table and was hooked onto i believe an IV, and given anesthesia. Suddenly I woke up on a chair in the reception room, and after maybe 10-15 minutes, the anesthesia fully wore off and I was allowed to leave. Because I was alone, I was escorted by staff to my taxi bringing me to my hotel.

POST-OP

For the first two days I was really swollen. I followed all the instructions of taking meds, icing, gargling, etc. I went out everyday because it helps with the swelling to be moving. Opening my mouth and speaking was really hard, and the pain stinged, when opening but not a whole lot (probably thanks to the meds)

on the 2nd or 3rd day I went in for a follow up and got a red light treatment, to help with the swelling, which reduced it by a LOT. I was able to eat relatively normally by this point personally, though avoiding certain foods. I also didn’t need to wear the compression bandage anymore on my chin.

I came back a week later for check up and more red light therapy.

I was starting to see the results albeit with swelling, but at this point I felt unsure whether I loved the change or not, and felt regretting my decision, which as stated in the papers that it’s normal for patients to feel regret within the first few weeks, so all i could do was wait.

on the 13th day I did the same and I was able to remove my stitches. I did it one day earlier than normal because i was leaving korea, but before they removed it they checked to make sure it was healed enough. i saw the doctor and We discussed the changes and how my chin issues are now gone.

minor swelling but Loving the results so far, its natural looking like i wanted, as friends or family have commented. definitely recommend. Everything went very smoothly. and the staff were very nice.

At 7 p.m. on April 8, I underwent eye bags removal surgery at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul. That night, I was a little nervous, my pretty interpreter who accompanied and encouraged me throughout the process and let me felt better. When the anesthetics took effect, I was no longer awake.
When I woke up, I sat on a sofa and found that the operation had been completed. It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening. I tried to feel my physical condition and found that there was no pain in the surgical wound. I thought the anesthetic effect had not dissipated, but as the days passed day by day, I still didn't feel any pain in the wound. In summary, I felt good.
After the operation, my eyes became bruised, like a Chinese panda, and it took me two weeks to completely retreat. On the other hand, the wound feels swollen, which took more than a month to subside.
Now I am completely recovered. Do I look younger than before now?

I just completed DES with ptosis, fat grafting and lateral canthoplasty. I had online consults with 6 different clinic and decided to go with AB plastic surgery due to the reasonable price and the mass amount of reviews of patients who had good results. My doctor was Dr. Park Sung Ho. He was knowledgeable and made sure I received my ideal shape. During the procedure he took his time tweaking and adjust my left eye to make it perfect. Numerous times he would ask me to open and close and slightly raise up to make sure both eyes were proportioned. Thank you for your care Dr. Park!!

8 hrs post op - Bruising is starting to appearing, stitches feel tight. Vision is slightly blurry at times but returns back to normal after some blinking. Eyes are dry. No pain tho.

12 days post op - very little non existent swelling only I could notice, slight tightness at corners of the eyes when looking upwards, vision is normal, no more dry eyes, all bruising is gone and I am very happy with the results so far!

Thank you AB Plastic Surgery!!

I’m 45 M from Australia I and had a deep plane facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, and fat transfer with Dr. Choi Jae IK at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul.
I’m about 2 months post-op and happy so far..I do get occasional swelling but not as often, the scars have faded a lot around my eyes and neck line.

It’s been 3 months since I had ptosis correction, chin liposuction, and Rejuran skin booster done at AB Plastic Surgery in Gangnam — and I’m genuinely happy with how everything has turned out.

I’ve been sitting on the discomfort of ptosis for a while — always trying to poke my eyelid to fix it or accidentally rolling m eyes at my coworkers to try to utilize my forehead muscle to lift the eyelid. On top of that, I had some stubborn chin fullness and tired-looking skin that just didn’t reflect how I wanted to feel. I knew I wanted to do something about it, but finding the right clinic was key.

I actually came across AB Plastic Surgery through an online search early on, but didn’t think much of it until I randomly met one of the translators who worked there while exploring Seoul. She was kind, knowledgeable, and encouraged me to come in for a consultation — no pressure, just information. That casual encounter gave me the push I needed to check them out properly.

When I visited the clinic, I was impressed by how clean, modern, and organized it was. During the consultation, the doctor thoroughly explained my case and gave recommendations without being pushy. The entire staff was professional and attentive — it felt like I was in good hands from the start.

The surgery day went smoothly under local and sedation anesthesia. I had all three procedures done in one session, and the recovery was much easier than I expected. Swelling and bruising were larger than I thought, but I might have had a reaction to the medication. There was a noticeable change after 1 week but I truly started seeing my eyelid settle after just a couple of weeks in.

Now at 3 months post-op, my eyes look naturally more open, my jawline is a little more defined particularly when working at desk and utilizing my computer, and my skin feels healthier and firmer thanks to Rejuran. Everything looks balanced and subtle, and I’m happy for that!

There’s still some marks obvious from the eyelid surgery that’s slightly poking out, but I was told it would soften as time passed.

If you’re thinking about getting work done in Korea, I’d definitely recommend AB Plastic Surgery. The care was top-notch, and meeting someone from the clinic by chance turned out to be one of the best things that happened on my trip. They also have a dermatology aspect if you’re interested in skin treatments.

Big thanks to the team — and especially to the translator who helped guide me from that first chance meeting to the end of my recovery.

I recently had upper blepharoplasty revision and lower blepharoplasty and fat grafting with AB plastic surgery in Seoul. My overall experience was positive. I started the process about 4 months ago looking for a suitable clinic in Korea. This was an overwhelming search, as there are so many to choose from. I decided on AB Plastics from the great reviews I had read online. I communicated through WhatsApp with all my questions and concerns. They were very prompt and gave me all the information that I needed. I also took a trip to Seoul, prior to making a decision, as I wanted to meet with the surgeon face to face. Dr Choi was the surgeon who performed my surgery. He was personable and confident in his ability to give me the results I was looking for. It’s been 4 weeks post op and my eyes are healing well. I highly recommend AB Plastics for your beauty transformation journey.

I recently underwent double eyelid surgery, and overall, I’m really happy with the results. It was something I had been considering for a while, mainly to enhance the shape of my eyes and make makeup application a bit easier. After doing plenty of research and consultations, I finally felt confident moving forward with AB Plastic Surgery.

The procedure itself was straightforward and done under local anesthesia. I experienced some swelling and bruising for the first 1–2 weeks, which is completely normal. The first few days were a little uncomfortable, but manageable with cold compresses and the medication provided. I took about a week off from work and avoided social events during recovery just to let things settle.

By the end of the first month, most of the swelling had gone down, and my eyelids were starting to look more natural. Now, a few months post-op, the crease looks really clean and suits my face well. One of my biggest worries was that it might look too “obvious” or unnatural, but my surgeon did an amazing job keeping it subtle and balanced.

If you’re thinking about getting this procedure, I’d definitely recommend AB Plastic Surgery!

It’s been 2 months since I had my surgery done at AB clinic. I can’t be happier with my results !!

It’s been always a dream for me and I am so glad I proceeded with this clinic , if Anything I wish I did even earlier.

I’m super thankful to my nose doctor Dr Ma Sung Hwan , he did an absolutely amazing job.

I also had my genioplasty done with Dr Jo dong pil, the results were absolutely stunning and super natural , just the way I wanted.

Finally I got the face lift as I had a very saggy skin. My mini face lift doctor, Dr Choi Jae ik was an absolutely sweet person he was such a nice person and always smiling.

I can’t speak enough about the professionalism and the kindness the team showed me.

Absolute 5 stars !!!!

It’s been one month post-op from my revision surgery. I went ahead and had a couple of consultations at various clinics to see what my options were when it came to revision surgery. I’ve made a mistake of being too young and not doing enough research in what I wanted which resulted in looking for a good revision specialist. Korea is known for their clinics which is why I ultimately decided to do the surgery in Gangnam.

I came across AB Clinic from online as well as checking out their actual location, which seemed to be in a great location. Upon checking the clinic, it is very professional, clean, and orderly. After having a consultation with the doctor, they went ahead and acknowledged, reassured, and let me know everything I needed to before and after the surgery. It was nice to see how thorough both staff and doctors were. I decided to go ahead and book the appointment with the clinic after being satisfied with the professionalism and expertise that I was looking for.

The day after the operation, I had less swelling than I initially thought which was nice. Since everyone is different, it may result in different outcomes, but I was pleased with how much less shallow the new crease was compared to my old one as well as evening them out. The doctor stated that it will take at least three months for the optimal outcome as there will still be residual swelling left in the area. Overall, the recovery process was smooth, minimal swelling and bruising, and I was able to go about my day a week and a half after. Utilizing the ice pack and making sure to take your medication, and keeping the area clean definitely helps.

I would recommend the clinic to anyone that is looking for a good initial surgery clinic as well as for revisions. They also have a separate dermatology clinic next door which is also worth checking out while you’re there.
Overall, I would say the surgery is a success and will continue to look forward to the healing process.
Thank you AB for all your hard work.

I had a great experience with AB hospital. It is efficient, effective and highly professional. Dr. Songcheonho is a great surgeon specialised and knowledgeable in his field. The procedure is done successfully. Also the staff are very friendly and helpful too!
