AB Plastic Surgery - Seoul

Hi I’m from France and I’ve always hated the bags/dark circles under my eyes. I’ve always had them, it’s genetic, so my eyes have always looked tired. AB were always reactive via messages, the consultation was clear, there was an English interpreter available for me, and Dr. Song Cheon Ho really took the time to listen and explain everything I needed to know. I had a good feeling, and their results looked very natural and well done. He recommended an under-eye fat repositioning procedure. On the day of the surgery, I also had an English interpreter. She stayed with me from start to finish. The procedure was quick and simple. The doctor came to see me one last time, and then I left the clinic. I was alone in Korea and had no issues managing the post-operation period. There was no pain, but it’s important to know that the under-eye area is very swollen during the first week (or even 10 days), which can be a bit uncomfortable. I simply wore a surgical mask when going out. One week later, I returned to the clinic for a check-up. They also did a small treatment to help reduce the swelling. After two weeks, my face is still slightly swollen, but the final result is almost there. From any angle, the area under my eyes is FLAT, which is exactly what I wanted. I received a discount in exchange for giving an honest and independent review of my experience, and here it is.

I came from California to AB for my deep plane face and neck lift in Jan 2026. I LOVE my post op results. I want to give a shout out to Dr Choi who performed my surgery. He is a doctor with great skills and genuinely cares about his patient. I stayed at hospital overnight after my 6 hour surgery (I had lip lift, fat transfer, etc in addition to face and necklift), Dr Choi came checked on me twice at night to make sure I was doing ok. I saw lots of locals in AB for their cosmetic procedures which is always a good sign. My entire facelift journey went smoothly, thanks to AB staffs including interpreters, consultants and nurses. I am glad I chose AB and definitely would come back in the future if I need more procedures done.

I very recently got some surgery done at AB plastic surgery and wanted to share my experience! AB does give you a discount for writing reviews but it can be about anything regardless if your experience was bad or good. First off my experience with them was very positive. They had really great translators (I had multiple different people depending on the day) and they communicated very well on how my surgeries were going to be done and what I need to do for after care, etc. I had gotten 3-set contour Jaw, chin, and cheek bone reduction. As well as fat grafting and fat repositioning on my smile lines. Eye bags, and upper eye lids. There was a bit of waiting during my in person consultation, but there were a lot of people there so I didn’t mind. My translator also said it was peak season for them so makes sense. Facilities were super clean as well. Pro tip don’t take the elevators since they take too long, just use the escalators. I am pretty happy with my results, but I still have a lot of swelling since I am writing this 1 month post surgery so I cannot give my full opinion on how I look just yet. Overall I had a great experience and will probably go back for some minor surgeries in the future.

I wanted to share my experience because when I started researching Korean plastic surgery — especially AB clinic — I honestly couldn’t find that much detailed info. So maybe this helps someone who’s in a similar situation. For context: I had dermal fillers for about 6–7 years. At first I loved them, but over time they started migrating and making my face look worse instead of better. I eventually decided to dissolve everything and go for a more permanent solution — a facelift combined with fat transfer — instead of continuing the filler cycle. After dissolving the fillers, my skin became really saggy, much worse than I expected. I genuinely felt like I suddenly looked 20 years older. It affected my confidence a lot, and I was honestly hiding my face for about a week before flying to Korea for surgery. First impressions & communication From the moment I arrived, the service was really reassuring. I was nervous about the language barrier, but they provided a translator who spoke perfect English and helped me with everything — appointments, questions, and even emotional reassurance. That made the whole experience much less stressful. Surgery & hospital care I had a facelift plus fat transfer to restore volume more naturally after removing fillers. The surgery day, overnight hospital stay, and aftercare were handled very professionally. The staff were attentive, kind, and calming. Even though they clearly treat many patients daily, I still felt very personally cared for — almost VIP-level attention. Whenever I had questions after surgery, they answered my messages very quickly, which helped a lot during recovery when you tend to overthink everything. Recovery so far I’m currently 17 days post-op. Still swollen (totally normal), but I already feel much better in my skin compared to how I felt after dissolving fillers. I’m excited to see the final result once everything settles because I can already see positive changes despite the swelling.

Please note My doctor was Choi Jae Ik, he does not have a real self profile but I want to still share my personal experience. I always had a very saggy skin despite being young still . One of my biggest insecurities was the deep smile line around my nasalobial folds . I tried many non surgical treatments like thread lift and microneedling but unfortunately it did little to no effect. I had my consultation with Dr.Choi , he is actually well known for facelift and fat grafting. Since am young he suggested I proceed with a ponytail scarless facelift. It was truly one of the best decisions I made . The recovery was a bit though so please keep in mind that it needs a lot of patience before seeing the final results (which takes at least up to a year) , but it’s all worth it . I had NO scars post surgery.

First of all please note that my doctor was Dr. dongpil Joe . I couldn’t pick him as he has no account on real self so please keep in mind. I had a recessed shin which I truly was self conscious about but was always scared to do any surgery to that part, so I always had fillers done . However , I didn’t get the outcome I wanted from fillers which is why I decided to have a consultation for the genioplasty. Am so glad my doctor was Dr. Joe , he was truly amazing , can speak English and really gave me valuable insights that made me go through with the surgery . Trust me when I say I excepted it to hurt and for the recovery to be hard , BUT it was easier than expected! After the first 2 days post op I barely felt any pain at all ! My recovery was one of the smoothest and am extremely happy with the results. It was truly life changing !! My side profile changed drastically and am able to eat comfortably and no complications at all after 1 year. If you are in Korea and wish for a genioplasty , I genuinely recommend this doctor. He is so sweet and kind and equally professional. High high high recommended !!

I had a great experience at AB Surgery Clinic. All thanks to the 2 highly skilled advanced surgeons, Dr. Choi and Dr. Bae. Throughout my 21 days post-op recovery I had no pain, with only tension around incisions. I’m very happy with the healing progress so far and my renewed, refreshed face. I highly recommend AB. I also want to thank the amazing team of staff. They are all very friendly and helpful.

Got a good discount and free airport transfer for my procedure.The consultation was professional yet very friendly. They really listened to the look I wanted and made thoughtful recommendations that suited my existing features. Language is also not an issue, they provide in-house translators who are very caring and professional too! The recovery process was very smooth. On the third day, I went back to have the nose cast removed, and on the seventh day, I returned for stitch removal. Throughout the entire process, there was minimal discomfort and pain. I was also given clear aftercare instructions, and the team checked in regularly to make sure everything was healing well, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend this clinic.

I had liposuction Arms and thighs. With Dr. Jo Kyu-Sang it was amazing experience, hospital staff were super friendly.highly recommend it specially for foreigners Great experience and satisfying results This is the results after 1 year if my surgery

Doctor: Dr. Jae Ik Choi?Clinic: AB Plastic Surgery?Date of Procedure: December 2025?Procedures: Deep plane face and neck lift, AccuSculpt facial liposuction, submentoplasty, lower blepharoplasty with mid-face lift, external canthopexy, and PRP facial fat grafting?Price: 23,700,000 KRW (inclusive of surgery and care; only minor prescription costs were additional) I recently underwent a deep plane face and neck lift at AB Plastic Surgery and am very happy with both the experience and the results. Traveling overseas for surgery can feel daunting, but AB made the entire process smooth and reassuring. I researched several clinics before arriving in Korea and chose to proceed with an in-person consultation at AB after weeks of online communication via WhatsApp. That process was extremely helpful in understanding my options and agreeing on a clear treatment plan in advance. The in-person consultation went exactly as expected, with no surprises or pressure to add procedures. My translator, Alex, was excellent, and Dr. Jae Ik Choi’s strong English made communication easy and reassuring. The facilities are modern, and the staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the process. It has been two weeks since surgery, and while the first day was challenging—as expected for an 8-hour procedure—the recovery progressed quickly. Within days, the results already felt well worth the time, cost, and effort. I would highly recommend AB Plastic Surgery to anyone considering similar facial procedures. Note: I received a discount in exchange for writing this review; however, it reflects my honest and genuine experience.
