Girin Plastic Surgery & Dermatology - Korea

I found Girin Plastic Surgery through TikTok, where I saw several videos of people sharing their experiences, which gave me a clear idea of what to expect. I decided to get an alarplasty reduction because I had been thinking for a while about refining the shape of my nostrils without undergoing a full rhinoplasty. I wanted a subtle improvement that would balance my facial features. After my consultation, I felt confident moving forward everything was clearly explained, and the procedure itself is less invasive than a full nose surgery, so I wasn’t too nervous. The healing process went smoothly. By day 7, most of the redness around the stitches had faded, and by day 14, I felt comfortable going out without worrying about visible swelling or scars. There was a slight tightness, but nothing uncomfortable, and I followed all aftercare instructions carefully. I had no complications, and the clinic’s staff was incredibly supportive and responsive throughout. Their translators were also very helpful, making communication smooth and stress-free. Healing Process (First Month): At the one-month mark, most of the swelling has gone down, and my nostrils are starting to look much more natural and refined. The shape looks more balanced with my facial features, and the reduction is subtle but noticeable in a very positive way. There’s still a bit of minor swelling, but it’s continuing to improve week by week. The incision lines are healing nicely they’re already becoming less visible. Overall, the recovery has been smooth, and I’ve been able to return to my normal daily activities without any issues. I also heard that they’re always open, so it’s easy to get help or ask questions anytime even online.

I discovered GIRIN through Google reviews and Instagram while searching for reputable clinics in Korea with excellent English translators. Their consistently high ratings caught my attention, and after checking their website, I was impressed by how transparent and reasonable their pricing was.

Before my surgery, GIRIN invited me for an in-person consultation. Every staff member who assisted me spoke fluent English and explained the entire process in detail alongside the surgeon. They patiently answered all my questions and, most importantly, never tried to upsell unnecessary treatments. I had originally planned to address my dark eye circles and even asked if there were other procedures that could enhance my face, given that I had traveled all the way from San Francisco. The doctor was refreshingly honest, telling me that I already looked good and didn’t need anything else not even Botox. I appreciated that honesty and decided to proceed only with the surgery they recommended.

The surgery itself was smooth and efficient, and I felt safe and well cared for from start to finish. The first two days post-op, I experienced some swelling, which was initially a little worrying, but the doctor had prepared me for it and reassured me it would subside quickly which it did. By the second day, I looked much more like myself, and by two weeks, I was almost fully healed. The doctor mentioned it would take 1–3 months for the final results to settle, so I’ll be checking in again at the two-month mark.

Their aftercare and communication were outstanding. GIRIN’s English-speaking WhatsApp team followed up regularly, offered guidance, and addressed any concerns promptly. On my last day in Korea, I noticed an error in my tax refund amount while I was already on the bus to the airport. I assumed it was too late to fix, but GIRIN immediately resolved the issue after I sent them my receipt via WhatsApp. Thanks to their quick action, I received my full tax refund at the airport.

Overall, my experience with GIRIN exceeded my expectations. From their professionalism and honesty to their attentive aftercare and seamless communication, I felt fully supported throughout the process. I would happily return and recommend them to anyone considering surgery in Korea.

I discovered Girin Plastic Surgery while searching online for clinics that have excellent English translators. After reading many positive reviews, I reached out to them via WhatsApp. From the very first conversation, the staff were attentive, accommodating, and professional. They answered all my questions in detail, which made me feel safe and confident about moving forward with my procedure.

I wanted to enhance my breasts in a natural way, so I decided to undergo fat grafting to the breasts. I had heard great things about Girin, and I could tell that their doctors truly know their field and tailor their services to each individual patient. The translators were fantastic, making the entire consultation process smooth and stress-free.

One of the most surprising things was how fast my recovery was just three days after the procedure, I was already feeling well enough to get back to work, with minimal discomfort and very small, barely noticeable stitches. Throughout the entire process, the Girin staff regularly checked in on me and were quick to respond whenever I had a question.

Choosing Girin was an easy decision, and I have no regrets. Even after the procedure, I stayed in contact with them and always received immediate assistance. I also heard that they’re available for online consultations nearly every day, which is reassuring if I ever have any follow-up questions in the future.

Note: I have received discounts from Girin in return for posting a review. However, these are my honest opinion and stays the same even without any discount.

I found Girin Plastic Surgery through online research on forums like Reddit, PurseForum, and RealSelf. Although Girin was not in my initial shortlist, I decided to contact Girin after reading many positive reviews about Dr. Park Deok Jun’s expertise and also because other clinics were not repsonsive. Girin impressed me from the start by responding to my inquiries quickly, professionally and showed a very welcoming attitude.

I had liposuction done on my abdomen and double chin. While I’m generally on the slimmer side, I had persistent fat in those areas that didn’t respond to regular exercise. After much thought, I decided to move forward with the procedure.

The staff at Girin were warm and welcoming, and the consultation with Dr. Park was thorough and reassuring. His confidence and experience gave me peace of mind, and I went ahead with the surgery the following day.

Recovery from Day 7 to Day 14 went smoothly, I was able to move around without difficulty. By the seventh day, I already noticed a visible improvement in my abdominal area, even with some swelling. The changes to my chin were also noticeable, and I’m excited to see the final results as the swelling continues to subside, which may take up to 6 months.

Throughout the process, Girin remained responsive and supportive via WhatsApp, always ready to answer my questions. I’m happy with my experience so far and truly feel that I made the right decision by choosing Girin Plastic Surgery.

Overall, I barely felt any pain from the day of operation till now (1 month post op)

I recently underwent blepharoplasty at Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As a 48-year-old man, I was initially nervous, but the professionalism and warmth of the staff put me at ease. Dr. Girin explained everything in detail, addressing all my concerns.

The results are natural and refreshing, with nearly invisible incision lines. Post-operative care was outstanding, with several follow-up appointments that provided excellent support and guidance throughout my recovery.

I highly recommend Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic for anyone considering cosmetic procedures. Their exceptional care and results truly stand out!

I had always wanted to get rid of the stubborn fat under my chin and along my jawline, so I began researching options and came across Girin Plastic Surgery through the Unni app. After looking into it further, I booked a consultation—and it turned out to be a great experience.

The staff gave me a warm welcome, and the medical team explained everything thoroughly. The translation service was very professional, which helped me understand the procedure clearly and feel completely at ease. I was so impressed with how professional everything was that I decided to schedule my procedure right after the consultation.

It’s now been two weeks since the procedure, and everything is going very well. I barely had any visible bruising, and just one week after surgery, there were hardly any noticeable signs. The only incision was a very small one under the chin, and it’s already barely visible. There is still some swelling around the chin and jaw area, but I understand that’s a normal part of the healing process. I’ve been gently massaging the area daily and wearing the facial compression band at night, which has really helped with recovery.

What I appreciated most was how the medical team explained everything in advance, including the possibility of temporary swelling or small lumps, which made me feel calm and reassured.

And they offer online consultations every day, which makes me feel even more at ease knowing that I can easily reach out to them for follow-up if I ever need to. So far, I’m very happy with my decision and the results I’m already starting to see!

After months of thorough research, I decided to undergo my first plastic surgery procedures at Girin Plastic Surgery in Seoul. Throughout the preparation process, I communicated closely with their team, especially Miss Anna who provided consistent support and guidance for about three months prior to my trip.

I arrived in Seoul on July 12 and was warmly welcomed by Girin’s convenient pickup service. Upon arriving at the clinic, Miss Anna helped me complete medical tests and attend a detailed final consultation to confirm the most suitable treatment plan. The procedures I chose included:
Mini tummy tuck
Mini facelift
Under-eye fat repositioning
Incisional double eyelid surgery

Once my health check cleared, surgery was scheduled for July 14 and was performed by Dr. Jeon Ji In. From our very first meeting, I felt confident in her professionalism and skill. The entire surgery took approximately seven hours, and I woke up in the recovery room under close observation.

I stayed overnight at the clinic for monitoring, and the following day, Dr. Jeon conducted a thorough check-up and cleaned my sutures before I was discharged to my hotel.

Recovery Process:
The first 3 days involved expected discomfort, mostly swelling around the eyes, face, and abdomen. I carefully followed all aftercare instructions.
Day 5: Eyelid stitches were removed.
Day 8: Facial stitches were cleaned.
Day 15: Lower abdominal stitches were removed
Despite the summer heat in Seoul, I was able to enjoy light sightseeing while healing gradually and comfortably.

Final Thoughts:
Girin provided exceptional care from beginning to end. Dr. Jeon’s expertise, paired with Miss Anna’s excellent coordination and communication, made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. For anyone considering plastic surgery in South Korea, I highly recommend Girin Plastic Surgery.

Updated on 15 Aug 2025:
It’s officially been one month since my procedures at Girin Plastic Surgery mini tummy tuck, mini facelift, under-eye fat repositioning, and incisional double eyelids and I couldn’t be happier with my progress.

Face: All bruising is gone, with only mild stiffness remaining near my cheeks and ears, which eases a little more each day.
Eyes: There’s still a touch of swelling in my eyelid folds, but the shape is becoming more refined and defined week by week.
Abdomen: The contour looks smooth, natural, and flattering, with only slight tenderness when pressed.

The most exciting part? Each day, as the swelling continues to subside and tissues settle, the results look even more natural and beautiful. Dr. Jeon Ji In’s precision and artistry are becoming more evident with every passing week.

The Girin team has been consistently reassuring, confirming that my healing is exactly on track. To anyone currently in recovery: trust the process; it truly only gets better from here!

I had been considering blepharoplasty for a long time and decided to finally have it done in Korea, where the procedures are not only top-quality but also more affordable. I found Girin Plastic Surgery through Instagram and chose them after doing my research.

From start to finish, my experience with Girin was fantastic. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and patient, answering all of my questions and addressing every concern. I especially appreciated how accessible and accommodating they were. They provided excellent translation support throughout every step, which made the process much easier and more reassuring as a foreign patient.

Even though I’m not fully healed yet (it hasn’t even been a month), I’m already so happy with the results. The team made me feel genuinely cared for and comfortable the whole way through. I also heard that they’re very accessible, even outside typical working days, and that online consultations are often available, which makes it really convenient for travelers like me.

I truly felt in good hands and would highly recommend Girin Plastic Surgery to anyone considering a procedure in Korea.

I first discovered Girin Plastic Surgery through an Instagram post while researching body contouring options. For a long time, I’d been feeling self-conscious about the stubborn fat around my abdomen and especially my double chin, it really affected my confidence, particularly in photos. After seeing my sister go through similar procedures with great results and minimal discomfort, I felt more at ease with the idea. What ultimately reassured me was Dr. Park’s strong reputation; he’s known for his expertise in liposuction and body contouring, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.
I decided to go with 360 abdominal liposuction, chin liposuction, and jawline tightening ,focusing on the areas that had always bothered me most. From consultation to post-op care, the entire experience has been incredibly smooth and professional. The team at Girin made sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. They also have excellent translators, which made communication really easy and stress-free for me as an international patient.
My recovery has been going really well. There was some swelling at first from the fluids, which I expected, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined. As the swelling continues to go down, I can already see a real difference ,my body feels more contoured, and my jawline is so much more defined. It's been a huge boost to my confidence.
I’m genuinely thrilled with the results so far and really happy I chose Girin. If you’re thinking about similar treatments, I highly recommend them. I also heard they’re quite flexible ,it seems like they’re available most days, even on weekends, and they make it really easy to get in touch online for consultant

I recently traveled to Korea to get forehead reduction surgery at Girin Plastic Surgery. I first heard about Girin years ago through Seoul Guide Medical and remembered how highly they spoke of the clinic especially knowing that their CEO, Tony, chose to use Girin himself. That gave me a lot of trust in their professionalism and results. I also found several positive reviews and before/after videos online, which helped me make my final decision.

From the consultation to post-op care, everything was smooth and reassuring. The doctor listened carefully to my concerns and recommended a natural-looking reduction that would balance my facial proportions without making my face look too small. I appreciated that thoughtful approach.

The surgery itself went very smoothly. I was in and out quickly, and recovery was easier than expected. I was able to contact the clinic at any time through WhatsApp, and they always responded promptly. They even offered to let me visit the clinic whenever needed, which made me feel very supported.

The English translator was also incredibly helpful throughout the whole process from consultation to follow-ups making sure I understood every step clearly. It made the whole experience stress-free.

Another plus is that Girin Clinic is open every day, so it was easy to schedule visits around my availability. I’m very happy with the result and would definitely recommend Girin to anyone looking for forehead reduction or other procedures in Korea.
