Snow Clinic
6F Cambridge Building, 110 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Overview
1 / 6
The South Korean aesthetic medical market is characterized by intense competition and high specialization. Within this landscape, Snow Clinic (Gangnam Branch), led by Representative Director Seo Won-hong, has established a distinct market position by focusing on "Liposculpture"—the precise removal and transplantation of adipose tissue to contour the face and body. Unlike generalist clinics that offer a broad spectrum of dermatological and surgical procedures with equal weight, Snow Clinic places a heavy strategic emphasis on surgical interventions related to fat (liposuction and grafting), complemented by eye surgery and lifting procedures. This report provides an in-depth analysis of Snow Clinic and Dr. Seo Won-hong, synthesizing data regarding the facility's infrastructure, the director's medical background, core clinical competencies, and patient reputation.
Our Core Values
Fat Grafting Specialist
SNOW's primary expertise lies in fat transfer procedures — from facial volume restoration to breast augmentation. Dr. Seo's concentrated focus on fat grafting techniques means higher survival rates, more natural results, and deeper understanding of this specialized field.
Comprehensive Eye Surgery
Beyond fat grafting, SNOW offers a full range of eye procedures — double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and upper eyelid surgery including age-related corrections. This dual specialization in fat and eyes provides complementary expertise for facial rejuvenation.
Multi-Location Network
With branches in Gangnam (Seoul), Suwon, and Yeosu, SNOW extends its specialized care beyond the capital. This regional network makes expert fat grafting and eye surgery accessible to patients outside of Seoul without sacrificing quality.
Yeoksam Station Central Location
The main branch on Teheran-ro in Gangnam is conveniently located near Yeoksam Station, one of Seoul's most well-connected subway hubs. The central location makes it easily accessible from anywhere in the greater Seoul area.
Director-Only Consultations
Dr. Seo personally conducts every consultation and surgery. For procedures as technique-dependent as fat grafting — where harvesting, processing, and injection methods directly impact results — having the specialist surgeon involved at every step is essential.

PotenzaPopular Procedures
Non-Incision Double Eyelid
A non-incisional technique that creates a natural double eyelid crease using fine sutures buried within the eyelid tissue. No external incision means minimal scarring and faster recovery.

- Rapid recovery with minimal swelling
- Reversible if adjustment is desired
Pre-operative design marking with patient input → Local anesthesia or sedation administered → Fine sutures placed through small puncture points to create the eyelid crease → Immediate result check and adjustment if needed
