GIRIN Plastic Surgery
7F (Surgery Center) / 8F (Consultation & Reception) Seocho W Tower, 54 Seocho-daero 77-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul
Overview
1 / 5
GIRIN Plastic Surgery (기린성형외과) has assembled one of the largest collaborative medical teams in the Gangnam area — 14+ specialists spanning plastic surgery, general surgery, dermatology, and anesthesiology — all working together in a two-floor facility in the Seocho W Tower. With over 21,000 documented patient reviews, GIRIN's high-volume practice demonstrates a consistency that comes from refined systems and deep institutional experience.
The clinic's collaborative care model is its defining strength. Rather than relying on a single surgeon, GIRIN matches each patient with the specialist best suited to their procedure, while colleagues from other disciplines contribute to surgical planning when complex cases require multi-disciplinary input. A resident anesthesiologist ensures every surgical procedure meets the highest safety standards.
Practical patient accommodations set GIRIN apart from many competitors: in-patient recovery facilities, evening hours extending to 9 PM on weekdays, and the option to choose a female surgeon for patients who prefer it. Located within walking distance of Sinnonhyeon Station, Gangnam Station, and Nonhyeon Station, the clinic offers triple-station accessibility that makes it one of the easiest clinics to reach from anywhere in Seoul.
Our Core Values
14+ Specialist Collaborative Team
Over fourteen specialists from plastic surgery, general surgery, dermatology, and anesthesiology collaborate under one roof. This multi-disciplinary team enables comprehensive care where complex cases benefit from combined expertise — not just a single surgeon's perspective.
Resident Anesthesiologist
A board-certified anesthesiologist is permanently on staff, providing dedicated monitoring and emergency response for every surgical procedure. This full-time anesthesia support is a patient safety commitment that distinguishes GIRIN from clinics using visiting anesthesiologists.
In-Patient Recovery Facilities
GIRIN provides dedicated recovery rooms for post-surgical patients who benefit from overnight observation. This hospital-grade aftercare capability ensures that patients are monitored and supported during the critical early recovery period.
Evening Hours Until 9 PM
Weekday evening hours extending to 9 PM provide exceptional scheduling flexibility. For working professionals and international visitors with daytime commitments, this late availability makes consultations and follow-up appointments genuinely accessible.
Female Surgeon Option
GIRIN offers the option to be treated by a female surgeon — an important consideration for patients who feel more comfortable discussing aesthetic concerns and undergoing examination with a female doctor.
