About the clinic

Forehead reduction at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, helps lower the hairline for a balanced facial profile. A combined package including this procedure, rhinoplasty, and brow bone reduction is around $15,100. The clinic holds KAHF accreditation, meeting 149 government-verified safety standards for international patients.

Advanced Facial Contouring

Surgeons at AB Plastic Surgery perform forehead reduction to shorten the upper face. Patients often choose to combine this with brow bone reduction and facial fat grafting. This approach treats multiple areas in one session to reduce total recovery time. The clinic also includes complimentary lip filler for patients selecting the combined package. Before surgery, patients undergo 3D CT diagnostics to map their facial structure. An in-person consultation typically lasts four hours for tests, photos, and a deep discussion with the surgeon.

Safety and Medical Standards

The facility uses a real-name surgeon system to ensure the assigned doctor performs the entire operation. Operating rooms have 24-hour CCTV monitoring for transparency. In-house anesthesiologists stay on-site during every procedure to track patient vitals. The clinic is an official training center for the International Fellowship of Aesthetic Allied Surgeons (IFAAS). This means the surgeons teach facial contouring techniques to doctors from other countries.

Patient Experience and Recovery

International guests receive support with airport pickups and hotel booking assistance. The medical team includes interpreters who speak nine different languages. After a forehead reduction, scars fade gradually over time. Patients should know that drinking alcohol can make these scars temporarily redder during the healing phase. Dr. Jeong Yeon-Woo is one of the plastic surgeons providing these specialized facial treatments at the Gangnam location.

Clinic Credentials

AB Plastic Surgery maintains a 4.9/5 rating based on global patient reviews. The Ministry of Justice recognized the facility as an Excellent Medical Tourism Institution for 2025. It is also a member of the Seoul Medical Tourism Alliance and the Korea International Medical Association. These affiliations highlight the clinic's focus on serving travelers from abroad.

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.
