Girin Clinic Review

I found Girin after researching several clinics on PurseForum and reading through many patient reviews and recovery experiences. Girin consistently stood out as a clinic that felt professional, conservative, and trustworthy. It also helped significantly that a close friend had visited Girin multiple times for skin treatments and highly recommended the clinic based on her own positive experiences. From the start, communication with Girin was very smooth and responsive. They were patient with my questions, clear in their explanations, and never pushy, which I really appreciated. I was able to send in photos and explain what I was hoping to achieve, and the advice I received was thoughtful and honest rather than focused on upselling. The availability of professional English interpretation throughout the process also made me feel comfortable and confident moving forward. Overall, the combination of trusted reviews, clear communication, professional interpretation services, and a safety-focused approach was what made me go with Girin and will recommend to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Worth ItBreast Augmentation

8 Months Post Op

It has been eight months since i had my breast augmentation and i am truly very satisfied with the results! They move so freely and naturally and it really feels so natural! The breast became smaller which i prefer since all swellings gone now. I highly recommend Girin !

Worth ItLiposuction

My First Surgery Experience

I found Girin Clinic while researching arm liposuction in Seoul and chose it for its strong experience in body contouring and natural-looking results. During my consultation with Dr. Lee Jong Ho, everything was explained clearly, including the procedure, risks, and recovery. The staff were professional, supportive, and communication was smooth. I felt no pressure, and the clinic’s organized, safety-focused approach made me confident in my decision. I decided on arm liposuction because my upper arms have always been a concern, even with weight loss. I wanted a more balanced and refined silhouette. On the day of surgery, the staff were kind and reassuring, and everything felt well-managed from start to finish. The first few days were uncomfortable, as expected, with swelling and limited movement, but it gradually improved after day 3–4. By day 7, my mobility was better, though some swelling remained. I didn’t experience any complications, and the clinic was responsive and supportive whenever I had questions during recovery.

Worth ItTummy Tuck

my tummy tuck+ lipo experience in girin plastic surgery

I discovered Girin Plastic Surgery through social media while searching for a safe and specialized option to improve my abdomen after my twin pregnancy. From the beginning, I was impressed by the doctor’s experience and the natural results they showcased. During my consultation, the procedure was explained clearly and thoroughly; all my questions were answered, and I never felt pressured. That sense of reassurance played an important role in my decision. I chose to undergo a mini tummy tuck with liposuction because after carrying twins, my abdomen lost firmness and definition. Achieving a balanced and natural result was very important to me. After discussing the surgical plan with the doctor, I felt confident and comfortable moving forward. I also felt confident knowing that they have safety related certifications such as KIMA and I noticed that there are many Korean patients. On the day of surgery, everything was well organized, and the staff was attentive and professional throughout. I am currently five days into recovery. I have experienced normal swelling, but I can see steady improvement each day by carefully following the medical instructions. So far, I have not experienced any complications. Whenever I had concerns, the team responded promptly and kindly, providing consistent support throughout my recovery.

Worth ItRhinoplasty

Great Results and Service!

I wanted to share my experience as an American traveling abroad for my very first cosmetic surgery. I had my rhinoplasty in January 2026, and now that I’m two months post?op, I can confidently say I’m thrilled with my results. The clinic environment was incredibly clean, organized, and professional. Even though I don’t speak Korean at all, I never felt lost or confused. Every time I visited, whether for the consultation, pre?op, surgery day, or post?op checkups there was always a translator available. The doctors and staff explained everything clearly: the procedure steps, recommendations, medications, what to expect, and how recovery would go. They were respectful, patient, and made me feel completely at ease. My recovery went amazingly well. I had very minimal bruising, and the swelling went down just as expected. The results are already beautiful, and I’m honestly so impressed with how natural and refined my nose looks. Even though full healing can take around six months, my nose looks better every single day. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and absolutely love my new nose. Based on my journey, I highly recommend this clinic.

Worth ItLiposuction

100% Recommended

Despite maintaining an active lifestyle, I struggled to achieve the body contour I had when I was younger. My weight was relatively stable, but there were areas resistant to diet and exercise. For me, this procedure was not about dramatic weight loss but about restoring proportion, improving contour, and feeling more aligned with how I used to look and feel. After careful consideration, I felt this was the right solution.I found Girin Plastic Surgery after extensive research comparing clinics in Korea, the United States, and Italy. I was specifically looking for a surgeon with strong expertise in body contouring and a refined, balanced approach rather than aggressive overcorrection. What convinced me to choose Girin was the doctors’ specialization and experience, the detailed and transparent consultation process, and the natural-looking results shown in before-and-after photos. Communication with the team was always clear and professional. They were very responsive from the beginning, which made the entire process feel organized and trustworthy. After the consultation with Dr. Park, I decided to proceed because of the very positive impression he gave me. He was extremely attentive, calm, and precise in his explanations. He listened carefully to my concerns and addressed them thoughtfully, which made me feel confident in the surgical plan. I stayed one night at the clinic in my own private room, which was comfortable and well organized. Despite the language barrier, communication was never a real issue because the WhatsApp chat system works extremely well and responses are very fast. I had several translators assisting me, and they were all helpful. I would especially like to mention El-roi. Even though she is still new at the clinic, she was incredibly compassionate, attentive to my needs, and very supportive throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated her care and professionalism — I give her 5 stars. Day 1 felt like I had been beaten up — which I understand is normal after this type of surgery. I was sore, tight, and quite uncomfortable. By the afternoon of Day 2, I started to feel slightly better. I really wanted to return to my hotel (about a 15-minute walk from the clinic), so I slowly walked back, which actually helped circulation. The first few days, I made sure to drink a lot of fluids. I was waking up multiple times at night, likely due to stress and the body’s cortisol response after surgery. I would suggest bringing melatonin to help regulate sleep. I started using it after 4 days, and it made a big difference for me. On Day 2, I mostly stayed calm at the hotel, getting up periodically to walk and drink water as recommended. Going to the bathroom was one of the biggest challenges during the first few days. I experienced constipation (which is common after anesthesia and pain medication), and I needed to use a laxative. Bringing a stool softener from the beginning would have been helpful. Going to urinate was also complicated because the compression garment is very tight, and removing and putting it back on can be painful in the early days. At Day 7, my stitches were removed. By that point, I was already feeling significantly better. I was able to walk around Seoul, do some light shopping at markets and stores, and even have dinner out. I am still taking it easy, but walking is an important part of recovery, so I try to reach around 5,000 to 6,000 steps per day to support circulation and healing. The nurses checked on me multiple times during my stay. The nurse who removed my stitches and monitored my progress was very professional. Although she does not speak English fluently, she gave me very good suggestions and took great care in explaining what I needed to do. Swelling is still present, which is expected, but I already notice improvement in contour. Bruising is gradually decreasing. The compression garment continues to play an important role in supporting the healing tissues. I did not experience major complications. The discomfort and temporary challenges described above were expected parts of the recovery process. Whenever I had questions about swelling, garment use, or daily activities, the team responded quickly and clearly through WhatsApp. Their responsiveness has been reassuring during this early phase of recovery. Thank you to Dr. Park and the entire Girin team.

Worth ItMini Facelift

Great Experience For my First Surgery!

After years of struggling with my face shape and genetic jowls, I decided to get a mini facelift in Korea. After visiting many clinics for consultations, I opted to go with Girin after a friend that got some skin procedures there suggested I visit them, and had an amazing experience! Staff was very accommodating and thankfully they have kind and professional translators too (English, I heard some Japanese and Thai too, probably Chinese as well)! After a consultation I met with the doctor and he was very realistic about my results, which I appreciate a lot. I am quite young for a full face lift, and honestly the only thing that had bothered me since I was in my 20s were my jowls, so the mini facelift was the best option. The doctor also managed to make me feel comfortable with my decision and I’m very glad no one tried to push more extreme procedures on me, which is quite rare in these clinics nowadays and made me want to take the final step and proceed with the surgery~ The idea of getting a surgery and going under anesthesia kinda scared me, but thankfully they had a thorough meeting with the anesthesiologist where they did all the tests and questions to make sure everything would be safe! Right before going for the surgery I even noticed a plate on the wall that stated they are “Officially Designated as a Safe Hospital” which was definitely encouraging! I had very minimal pain and the medication helped with any pain that might have happened. Overall a great experience, definitely recommend to anyone that is considering procedures in Seoul and want professional staff and natural results! Updated on 24 Mar 2026: My stitches were roved on the first week and the scars seem to be healing well! Even friends that know about them can’t seem to find them easily, which is reassuring~ The big bruise on one side of my face has almost disappeared (finally) and my face seems to be settling well into the healing process! The doctor confirmed that as well during my visit, and answered all the questions I had~ Can’t wait to see more final results in a couple of months! Updated on 24 Mar 2026: Here is a comparison of the before and after at 1 month, for those wondering about how I looked like before! Loving the results until now, can't wait for the full healed look! I'll update soon when a bit of time has passed~

Worth ItLiposuction

At 1 Weeks Post-op After Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

I found Girin while researching plastic surgery clinics in Korea and kept seeing great reviews and beautiful before-and-after results. The doctor’s experience, smooth communication, friendly staff, and safety-focused approach really stood out to me. The pricing also felt reasonable compared to other clinics, so I felt confident choosing Girin. I chose liposuction and a tummy tuck to improve my body contour and feel more confident, especially in areas that didn’t change with diet and exercise. After my consultation with Dr. Lee Jong Ho, I felt very reassured and excited to move forward. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. On surgery day, the team was incredibly kind, organized, and supportive. The first week of recovery has gone well. The first few days were uncomfortable, but by day 7 I’m already feeling better and starting to see positive changes, which is really encouraging. Whenever I had questions or concerns, the team responded quickly and gave helpful guidance, which made the recovery process feel much less stressful. I’m really happy I chose Girin!

Worth ItLiposuction

Sharing my Liposuction and Rhinoplasty Results!

I had my surgery back in April but I only decided to upload it now because I wanted to see how everything settled. I found Girin Clinic through Purse Forum and Instagram and loved how they even offer me airport pick-up and hotel help, which made traveling for surgery so much easier and less stressful. We started with a WhatsApp consultation, and then we scheduled an in person consultation. I visited the hospital for consultation and checkups and although the clinic was busy, everything felt organized. The in-person consultation was detailed and reassuring. My doctors were Dr. Kim Song Heon for rhinoplasty and Dr. Park Deok Jun for liposuction, both professional and informative. I had an interpreter with me the whole time and she was very helpful. Regarding post-care: there was a small issue with my pressure garment due to my long torso, but they custom-made a new one for me and I wore it for about a month. 1month post-op. was the hardest, i thought i wasnt gonna make it . There were moments when I felt uncertain about the outcome. Taking off the stitches hurt!! bc i have a low pain tolerance. My rhinoplasty was still super swollen, appears slightly tilted to the left and it's hard as a rock/numb. However, my doctor has reassured me that this is due to the swelling and my thicker skin. Therefore, I will need to be patient and wait at least six months to a year to see the final results. My lipo def on the other hand, seems to be healing more quickly, and I can already see a noticeable improvement. Finally I don't have to wear the pressure garment 24/7 but do have it on during the day. I do experience some restrictions around my waist, but I understand that I am still in the early stages of recovery. Both doctors have confirmed that everything is healing as expected, which gives me confidence in the final outcome. At 3 months post-op, I still experienced swelling on my nose. I have noticed a tilt to the left is still there. I do feel my nostrils look a bit narrow and my tip is still super hard/numb, but it has noticeably decreased. The clinic has assured me that irregular swelling is normal and it's a longer process due to what's been done. The liposuction results are evident, and everything seems to be healing as anticipated. My lymphatic masseuse even complimented the quality of the work, noting that I do not appear bloated or have uneven skin, unlike many other patients she has treated. My only concerns on my stomach are the unusual sensations I feel in my lower back and occasionally in the lower stomach. I discussed this with the clinic's contact, who explained that these sensations are part of the healing process, indicating my body's reconnection. Therefore, I have no worries. I am eager to see what the coming months hold for me. Having reached five months post-op, I've observed a significant reduction in the size of my nose. While I appreciate the shape that is developing, I feel the bridge might be a bit too prominent. I'm hopeful it will settle further. Currently, the tip of my nose remains firm but I can finally feel it better, still leaning to the left, and I still experience limited movement, which gives me optimism that it will continue to refine over time. My primary concern revolves around my right nostril, which seems somewhat blocked. I've consulted with my clinic contact, and they attribute this to lingering swelling. Although they've offered a check-up, I'll have to wait until a year, since I live outside the country. Regarding my stomach area, I've noticed a definite reduction in size, and I suspect further changes will be minimal. My only concern is the presence of some loose skin, which I think is due to my age. I'm optimistic that consistent gym workouts will help improve this. other then that i can't wait for the following months to come. Now: My concerns are: Nose tip still leaning towards the left Nose bump still on the right side of my nostril Inner nose bump still on the right side of my septum difficulty breathing from the right nostril I am hoping these issues will subside and my nose will correct itself. Regarding my lipo, I have improved mobility and flexibility. Previously, it was uncomfortable to bend, move, or jump, and stomach sensations were restricted; these issues are now gone. What I'm currently focusing on is tightening my stomach skin, which has become loose due to the liposuction. I'm hopeful that diet and exercise will improve this.
