Overview
1 / 3
SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic is an Apgujeong practice whose stated direction is to pursue safety and deliver natural-looking beauty. Its surgeons favour measured changes that fit East Asian facial anatomy over bold transformation, and the clinic manages each patient's course itself, from consultation to procedure and surgery. It is located at 26, Apgujeong-ro 60-gil, near Apgujeong Rodeo Station.
Our Core Values
Former Seoul National University Professor
Dr. Jeong Eui-cheol brings years of experience as a professor at Seoul National University Hospital, Korea's top medical institution. This academic foundation means every surgical decision is grounded in deep anatomical knowledge and evidence-based techniques, not commercial trends.
Natural Results Philosophy
SNU's guiding principle is harmony over drama. Rather than chasing dramatic transformations, Dr. Jeong designs results that complement each patient's natural features — creating faces that look refreshed and refined, never "done."
Director-Only Responsibility
From the initial consultation through surgery and all follow-up appointments, Dr. Jeong personally manages every step. This end-to-end responsibility ensures nothing is lost in translation between different doctors at different stages of care.
Multi-Platform International Consultation
International patients can reach SNU through KakaoTalk, LINE, WhatsApp, or email — covering the major messaging platforms used across Asia and beyond. This multi-channel approach removes communication barriers before patients even arrive in Korea.
Apgujeong Premium Location
Situated on Apgujeong-ro in Gangnam's most prestigious medical district, SNU's location places it among Korea's most exclusive aesthetic practices. The area is home to Seoul's highest concentration of premium clinics, reflecting the quality standards patients can expect.

Popular Procedures
Dynamic Double Eyelid Surgery
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.
- No visible scarring — sutures are hidden inside the eyelid
- Short procedure time (approximately 20-30 minutes)
- 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
- Apply cold compresses for the first 2-3 days to reduce swelling
- Avoid eye makeup and contact lenses for 1 week
- Keep the surgical area clean and dry
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, and saunas for 2 weeks

- No glasses for 4-6 weeks
