Melon Plastic Surgery Clinic
Verified115 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (6th Floor, Seorim Building)
Overview
1 / 12
Melon Plastic Surgery Clinic — The landscape of aesthetic medicine in South Korea, particularly in the Gangnam district of Seoul, is characterized by intense competition and a high degree of specialization. Within this ecosystem, Melon Plastic Surgery (Melon Seonghyeong-oegwa) has established itself as a boutique clinic specifically dedicated to breast surgery. Founded on January 28, 2022, the clinic positions itself not merely as a surgical facility but as a provider of comprehensive "Breast Curating" services [cite: 1].
The clinic's market entry strategy focuses on addressing specific pain points in the breast surgery market: the need for personalized anatomical analysis, the demand for safety through resident anesthesia specialists, and the preference among many female patients for an all-female medical team. This report provides an in-depth investigation into the clinic's operational structure, the professional background of its leadership, its clinical offerings, and its standing within the medical community and patient base.
Our Core Values
Female Surgeon, Woman-Centered Care
Led by Dr. Kim Ju-won, Melon provides a consultation environment where female patients can discuss breast surgery with a surgeon who shares their perspective. This woman-centered approach removes barriers and creates a level of comfort that fundamentally improves the patient experience.
Breast Surgery Exclusive Focus
Melon performs only breast procedures — augmentation, reduction, lifting, revision, nipple correction, and accessory breast treatment. This exclusive specialization means every case benefits from concentrated expertise, refined techniques, and deep understanding of breast-specific anatomy.
Premium Implant Selection
The clinic offers implants from the world's leading manufacturers — Motiva, Mentor, and Sebbin — providing patients with the full range of premium options. Rather than using a single brand, Melon selects the optimal implant based on each patient's anatomy and goals.
Resident Anesthesiologist
A board-certified anesthesiologist is present for every surgical procedure, providing dedicated monitoring and immediate emergency response capability. This is not a visiting consultant — the anesthesiologist is a permanent member of the Melon team.
Breast Curating Consultation
Melon's signature consultation process goes beyond standard sizing. Through detailed analysis of body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences, the team curates a personalized implant recommendation — matching shape, size, profile, and material to create results that feel naturally part of the patient's body.
