Overview
1 / 3
SNU Plastic Surgery (스누성형외과) represents the gold standard of academic plastic surgery brought into a private practice setting. Founded by Dr. Jeong Eui-cheol, a former professor at Seoul National University — Korea's most prestigious institution — the clinic in Apgujeong embodies a philosophy that prioritizes subtle, harmonious results over dramatic transformation.
Dr. Jeong's approach is rooted in his academic career: understanding the underlying anatomy, respecting natural facial proportions, and delivering results that look like a better version of the patient's own face rather than a surgically altered one. This philosophy has earned the clinic a perfect 5.0-star rating from 511 reviews — a remarkable achievement that speaks to the consistency of patient satisfaction.
With consultations available through KakaoTalk, LINE, WhatsApp, and email in Korean, English, and Japanese, SNU Plastic Surgery makes itself accessible to international patients while maintaining the exclusive, personalized experience that its Apgujeong location promises. From eyes and nose to lifting and skin treatments, every procedure is overseen directly by Dr. Jeong from start to finish.
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.
