I went to Eight Plastic Surgery Clinic initially to reduce my alar and fix the tip and bridge of my nose. I had a somewhat bulbous nose and wanted a more refined, balanced look. From the very beginning, the clinic felt professional and well-organized. The facility was clean, modern, and only about a 5–7 minute walk from the nearest subway station, which made getting there very convenient.
One of the biggest positives was the pricing. The procedure was very affordable for what I received, largely because of the multiple discounts they offer — same-day consultation and surgery, tax refund, and an additional discount for writing a review. For the level of care and results, the value was honestly hard to beat.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Most of the staff did not speak English, but the clinic had translators available who were kind and helpful. The clinic was also very flexible with the dates and times I requested, which made scheduling easy despite traveling.
I met with Dr. Han Jo Kim, who performed my surgery. During the consultation, he pointed out that I also had a deviated septum and recommended a septoplasty, which I agreed to. Dr. Kim came across as very knowledgeable and straightforward — which I personally appreciated. He was blunt in a good way and gave me realistic expectations. It honestly felt like he was trained in the States based on how he communicated and approached the procedure.
On surgery day, the prep process went smoothly and I didn’t wait very long. My only real complaint is that one of the surgical techs missed my IV line twice while starting general anesthesia, which wasn’t the most pleasant experience. That said, once surgery started, everything went smoothly. I felt no pain at all — just a lot of sinus pressure for the first seven days post-op. After surgery, I was able to return to my hotel right away.
Some of the post-op instructions in the pamphlet were unclear, and I didn’t love that most of my questions were answered by translators instead of directly by Dr. Kim. I would’ve preferred more direct communication from the surgeon himself.
That being said, I absolutely loved the post-op care. They provided daily red light therapy to help reduce swelling, and all the cleanings were painless. Stitch removal and splint removal were also quick and comfortable.
When they removed the cast, I won’t lie — I hated how I looked at first (which I know is normal). But I trusted God, the process, and Dr. Han Jo Kim. Now that it’s been over two months, my nose looks significantly better and continues to improve every day. The swelling keeps going down, the shape is refining, and I’m genuinely excited to see how much more it will improve over the coming months.
Overall, Eight Plastic Surgery Clinic delivered great results at an affordable price with excellent post-op care. If you’re realistic, patient with healing, and trust the process, they’re a solid choice.
