I’ve just visited Pitangui Medical and Beauty Clinic for a huge make-over. Got neck & full-face lift with upper and lower blepharoplasty and eye-bag repositioning. Had a great experience all round! Awesome!
Dr. Yoo and all his staff were really professional, attentive and very kind. I checked out Dr. Yoo’s education and accreditations cause I wanted to be sure I was getting the best. This is my face after all…Before getting to South Korea I talked online with Pitangui’s English translator. She was great! I also wrote to a few other clinics who recommended this and that after I sent my pics. I got responses from some clinics and some said similar things to Dr. Yoo at Pitangui, others were way off in their ideas of what would be best for me. Some didn’t reply at all.My initial consultation with Dr. Yoo and translator was really good and I came out of it feeling like I had been listened too. Dr. Yoo was a really nice man. He was kind and honest when he gave his professional opinion. He had really kind eyes and a warm energy about him. I felt even happier with my choice of surgeon and clinic after I met him. He ‘got’ me and where I was coming from. After the surgery I felt pretty bleary, swollen and couldn’t see very well cause of the puffy eyes. It wasn’t really painful so much but my head was all bandaged and I had to sleep upright-ish. The room was really comfortable and there was a nurse bringing me water anytime I needed it. (And, that was often). The next day I passed on lunch as I still felt a little nauseous. Still couldn’t see very well so using my phone was a complete none event.The follow up visits were really good too. I can understand why Pitangui has been running so long. I reckon they are hands down, easily, the best!

Pitangui surgery review after 1 month - upper and lower blepharoplasty, eye bag re-positioning, face and neck lift
GiGiSarahMay 8, 2018
It’s been just over a month since Upper and lower blepharoplasty, eye bag repositioning, face and neck lift. I have been back home in Australia for a week. Last night was the first time I had worn make-up and gone out for the evening. I knew I would meet some friends and know other people at dinner and afterwards and was excited and a little nervous to see if they would say anything and what sort of reaction I’d receive. WOW!!! I received lots of compliments and people asking what I had done to look so good.
Thank you Dr. Yoo at Pitangui Medical and Beauty Clinic, Gangnam- gu, Seoul, Korea.

How did you find Dr. Yoo? He has done a fantastic job on you.

I was going to visit my daughter in Daejeon which is about an hour or so out of Seoul. She had said Gangnam-gu was the Beverly Hills of plastic surgery in SK. A really high % of people get plastic surgery in Korea. I contacted a few clinics before leaving via email, sent photos etc and did a lot of research. From the start Pitangui was professional, upfront and responsive. Dr Yoo's educational background and experience is transparent on website and it's really impressive! His clinic is the original and he's very experienced. Also, i asked if he would be doing surgeries as a lot of hospital type clinics had a lot of surgeons and i didn't know who i would get.
Thank you for your compliment. I think Dr Yoo is a real artist with amazing skills.

Hi, I posted the website address of Pitangui for ypu but then the RealSelf staff have taken the post down. I was not supposed to post third party site. Sorry.

Hi, I would value your advice as I am from Australia too. Would you be kind to reveal the cost and time required to undertake the surgery like you did?

OMG, you look fabulous! Did you have problems with the language?

Thanks so much! Pitangui has translators who are fabulous! The hotel staff in Gangnam spoke English. I was catching bullet trains and subways, no probs, all in English as well as Korean. I had a card with my address in Korean as a fail safe for taxis.

I was in Korea for 3 weeks after procedures but i was visiting my daughter. I stayed for 6 days in Gangnam for surgery, overnight in clinic then nearby at a hotel to rest and for follow ups at clinic. The staff at Pitangui were in touch everyday and were very helpful.
