Clinic Overview and Brand Philosophy

Establishment Background and Location

Mino Plastic Surgery is located on the 7th floor of the Glaston Building, 108 Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The clinic name 'MINO' is derived from Director Yoon Min-ho's name and simultaneously implies the double meaning of 'Knowing (KNOW) Beauty (美)'. This reflects the medical staff's will to understand the unique beauty possessed by the patient and maximize it.

Medical Philosophy (4 Core Values)

  • Adherence to Safety and Principles: Safe surgery is prioritized, and thorough preparation is emphasized throughout the entire surgical process.
  • 1:1 Customized Patient Care: Avoiding factory-style surgery, optimal solutions are provided through individual consultations, considering personal face shape and ratios.
  • Avoidance of Excessive Treatment: The clinic advocates honest medical practice by not recommending unnecessary surgeries to patients and encouraging only medically necessary and effective procedures.
  • Responsibility for Results: The clinic emphasizes an attitude of doing its best for highly satisfactory results and taking responsibility for post-operative care.

Clinic Facilities and Infrastructure

Interior and Spatial Design

  • Application of Color Psychology: Based on warm beige tones with Indian pink as a point color, it is created so that mainly female customers can feel comfort and softness.
  • Private Circulation: While separating the circulation paths of the director's office, consultation room, and treatment room, they are organically connected so that medical staff can move efficiently while patients' privacy is protected.
  • Recovery Room and Amenities: Considering the difficulty patients face washing their hair after surgery, a space providing shampoo service was prepared, and blinds were installed in the recovery room to cover CCTVs, considering the embarrassment of patients when changing clothes.

Medical Equipment and Safety Systems

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: University-hospital grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy machines were introduced to aid patient recovery after surgery. This increases blood oxygen concentration to rapidly reduce swelling and bruising, promote wound healing, and prevent inflammation.
  • Operating Room CCTV: CCTVs are installed in the operating room to resolve anxiety about ghost surgery and provide transparent medical services.
  • Safe Anesthesia System: A safe surgical environment has been established by equipping general anesthesia machines and various monitoring devices.

Major Clinical Procedures and Specialized Fields

Rhinoplasty

No-Implant Rhinoplasty

This surgery shapes the nose bridge and tip using only autologous tissue (septal cartilage, ear cartilage, rib cartilage, autologous dermis, etc.) without using artificial implants, minimizing side effects such as contracture or inflammation.

Functional and Revision Surgery

Expertise is shown in high-difficulty revision fields such as contracture nose rhinoplasty and autologous rib revision. Aesthetic completeness is enhanced by parallel detail correction surgeries such as alar base lowering and alar rim raising.

Anti-aging and Lifting

Mino Lifting (Face Lift)

Performs 'Correct SMAS Face Lift' that accurately dissects and pulls the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer. By cutting retaining ligaments and pulling the skin and fascia together, it fundamentally improves nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jawline sagging.

Endoscopic Forehead Lift

One of Mino Plastic Surgery's signature surgeries, performed when eyebrows and eyelids sag due to aging. It solves forehead wrinkles and eye sagging simultaneously while minimizing nerve and blood vessel damage through an endoscope.

Indian Lifting

A lifting procedure that resolves the 'Indian folds' (tear trough/mid-face groove) where the area under the eyes and front cheekbones is sunken. It maximizes the baby-face effect and revives the three-dimensionality of the mid-face by performing it in parallel with lower blepharoplasty.

Eye Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Comprehensive Eye Shape Correction

The clinic shows strength in middle-aged eye surgery, performing not only upper and lower blepharoplasty but also natural adhesion and canthoplasty for the younger demographic. The clinic aims for comprehensive eye shape correction that considers the position of the eyebrows and the thickness of the eyelids.

Reputation and Patient Review Analysis

Positive Evaluation

As a result of analyzing data from major cosmetic medical information platforms (Gangnam Unni, Babitalk, etc.) and communities, Mino Plastic Surgery maintains very high ratings (9.9~10.0/10).

  • Naturalness of Surgical Results: Reviews such as "Look 10 years younger" and "Natural without looking fake" are dominant. There are many evaluations stating that scarring is minimal and recovery is fast, especially in no-implant rhinoplasty and face lifts.
  • Representative Director's Attentiveness: The fact that Director Yoon Min-ho personally takes care of everything from consultation to surgery and post-operative care receives favorable reviews. Reviews stating "Limited daily surgeries to 1 case to focus on me" give great trust to patients tired of factory-style clinics.
  • Friendly Service: It is positively mentioned that consultation managers and nursing staff respond kindly without excessive recommendations and try to relieve tension before surgery.

Operational Characteristics and Considerations

  • Daily Surgery Limit: The "1 surgery per day" policy mentioned in some reviews is interpreted as the director adjusting the schedule to fully focus on that patient on days with major surgeries (such as face lifts), rather than just a marketing point. This is a powerful advantage that increases the quality of medical care.
  • Waiting Time: Due to 1:1 customized treatment and meticulous consultations, reservations may be somewhat difficult or waiting times may occur, which is a point to consider as a characteristic of a popular private clinic.

Conclusion

Mino Plastic Surgery and Representative Director Yoon Min-ho provide differentiated medical services by combining advanced recovery systems like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and high-difficulty techniques such as no-implant rhinoplasty and endoscopic forehead lifts, while remaining faithful to the basics of 'Safety', 'Principles', and 'Communication'.

In particular, along with Director Yoon Min-ho's impressive specs (Korea Univ., UChicago training, former director of large hospitals), the aspect of adjusting the number of surgeries to focus on each individual patient and meticulously caring for even the interior circulation solidifies its position as a 'Premium Boutique Plastic Surgery Clinic'. It is analyzed as a suitable clinic for patients considering surgeries requiring a high degree of concentration and skill, such as revision surgery or anti-aging.
