About the clinic
Face contouring at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul typically runs around $14,000 to $20,000. This procedure uses 3D CT diagnostics and superoposterior fixation to reshape the facial bones while reducing the risk of skin sagging. The clinic is accredited by KAHF and recognized by the Korean Ministry of Justice for its high standards in treating international patients.
Advanced Surgical Methods
Surgeons at the clinic perform 3-point facial contouring, which involves cheekbone reduction, mandible jaw reduction, and genioplasty. The medical team uses 3D CT imaging before surgery to map out bone structure and nerve paths. This helps Dr. Cho Dong-Pill and Dr. Ahn Seung-Hyun protect the mental nerve, which maintains sensation in the lower lip and chin. To prevent tissue sagging after bone reduction, the surgeons use a specific fixation method and may combine the surgery with buccal fat removal or a face lift.
Safety and Support
The clinic maintains a zero-accident record and follows a strict named-surgeon policy to prevent ghost surgeries. Safety features include 24-hour CCTV in operating rooms and real-time monitoring by in-house anesthesiologists. The facility treats over 24,000 patients every year and provides a dedicated team of 30+ specialists. International patients receive help with airport transfers, hotel bookings, and recovery care.
Recovery and Results
A typical face contouring surgery lasts between 3 and 4 hours under general anesthesia. Patients usually stay in the hospital for one night before moving to a hotel. Major swelling lasts about two weeks, with stitches typically removed around day seven. The clinic provides deswelling treatments during the two-week follow-up period to help the face settle into its new shape. Final results become visible over several months as the tissues fully heal.
Specialized Medical Team
- Dr. Cho Dong-Pill is a plastic surgeon who serves as the primary specialist for 3-point facial bone contouring and fat grafting.
- Dr. Ahn Seung-Hyun focuses on facial contouring, cheekbone reduction, and nose surgery.
- Dr. Choi Jae-Ik specializes in facial liposuction and buccal fat removal to complement bone contouring results.
- Dr. Song Cheon-Ho performs combined facial rejuvenation, including face lifting and fat grafting.
Treatment Packages
A combination package for jaw and cheekbone reduction may cost around $14,000. This includes the surgery, anesthesia, pre-operative tests, and a one-night hospital stay. For patients needing a full face lift paired with 3-point contouring and fat grafting, the price is around $20,000. These packages also cover post-operative care and necessary prescriptions.

Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment
Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment. The surgeon was direct and honest about what was realistic, and I appreciated that he personally handled both the consultation and the open rhinoplasty surgery for my full nose reshaping. The clinic staff has been easy to reach, and their aftercare guide is clear. I’m still healing. Be prepared for additional expenses like Ubers, hotel, recommended post-op meds, and lots of supplies like gauze, tape, and dry mouth spray. My advice for others is to bring a guardian; the first 3 days are very difficult and you will need help. Also, make sure to coordinate your arrival and departure dates so you don't leave before all your post-op care is finished.
The entire process was very organized, efficient and full of all necessary details. Communication responses are quick. Questions are answered with details and lots of backup information. The coordination between ALL the different departments is fantastic. The Clinic is immaculate. The Doctor is so professional and experienced and he has empathy and confidence. Top-notch all-around. And the Clinic is in a very good location. Everyone makes you feel like you matter and they want to make sure you feel happy and satisfied throughout the entire process.
The only thing is to just communicate more the post-op care during the initial phase. That it’s important to not book a flight home too soon after surgery. And that departure is coordinated based upon the surgery type. Also, a “care” bag that includes an emollient lip balm and dry mouth spray, as well as the gauze and tape needed for rhinoplasty. Having these things would help sooooo much with the recovery. My daughter had to go and buy these things separately and I suffered the first night until she was able to buy these items for me. Other than that —- everything else was just great

The support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference
My biggest worry was how the incision lines would heal and what the final result would be. I'm still in the early stages, but I feel so relieved and grateful. The team achieved a really good lift, and my nipples are already in a good position. The healing itself is progressing—there is some scabbing along the lollipop incision lines, which is to be expected. Honestly, the biggest challenge by far has been sleeping upright. It's tough. But the support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference. I feel I made the right decision coming here.
The staff is really attentive to your needs. And now that I am home they are still very responsive and concerned about my healing.
