Cheek implants in Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic (Hyundai Mihak Plastic Surgery / 현대미학성형외과, 현대로미학성형외과)
About the clinic
Cheek implants at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, South Korea, provide a permanent way to add volume to a flat face. This procedure uses custom-made implants designed through 3D-CT analysis to match each person’s facial structure. The clinic is known for its BESPOKE facial proportion system and a focused 1:3 care model involving a surgeon, anesthesiologist, and dedicated nurse.
The Custom Implant Procedure
The surgery focuses on anterior cheekbone augmentation to create a more youthful look. Doctors use 3D-CT scans before the operation to design implants that fit the specific curves of the patient's face. This approach makes the face look more three-dimensional and can make the overall face appear smaller. The procedure typically includes:
- Intraoral incision: The surgeon places the implant through the mouth to avoid visible external scars.
- Short surgery time: The operation lasts about 30 minutes.
- Anesthesia options: Patients receive either sedation or general anesthesia for comfort.
- Same-day discharge: Most people leave the clinic on the day of their surgery.
Recovery and Safety Standards
Recovery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to their routine within 5 to 7 days. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic uses a 365-day infection prevention system to help keep the environment safe. After the surgery, the clinic provides a 1:1 aftercare system that includes a scar management program. This support helps the swelling go down and helps the tissue heal properly around the new implant.
Long-Term Benefits
Choosing implants offers a more lasting effect than temporary fillers or fat grafting. The volume from the implant helps lift the skin, which can reduce the prominence of side cheekbones. This method helps achieve natural facial harmony by filling in hollow areas that occur with age or due to genetics. The clinic’s location in Gangnam makes it accessible for international patients seeking specialized plastic surgery in South Korea.

How are we doing?
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic (Hyundai Mihak Plastic Surgery / 현대미학성형외과, 현대로미학성형외과): more details about the clinic
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic is a private plastic surgery facility established in 1998. It is located in Seoul's Gangnam district and operates four specialized departments. These include centers for eye and nose surgery, facial contouring, breast and body procedures, and skin treatments. Chief Director Dr. Hwang Ho leads the medical team.
Recognitions and Clinical Experience
The practice has over 25 years of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. In 2022, it received the Medical Health Social Contribution Award. Several other honors highlight its standing in the South Korean medical community:
- Grand Prize in Eye and Nose Surgery at Medical Asia
- Grand Prize at the Shinyang Asia-Pacific Medical Awards
- Global New Korean of the Year in the medical category
Chief Director Dr. Hwang Ho served as a judge for the 2020 Miss Korea pageant. This reflects local recognition of his expertise in facial aesthetics.
Core Specialties and Surgical Methods
The clinic focuses on restorative and aesthetic procedures with an emphasis on individual anatomy. It uses a BESPOKE system to analyze facial proportions before surgical planning begins. This data-driven approach helps doctors design plans that aim for natural-looking results.
Eye and Nose Surgery
The clinic performs RE4 Eye Revision Surgery for patients who need corrective work on previous procedures. This method focuses on reconstruction to restore facial harmony. Nose surgery options include no-prosthesis rhinoplasty and correction of deviated or humped noses. Surgeons also reposition under-eye fat to address dark circles or puffiness.
Lip and Facial Aesthetics
Specialized lip surgeries target shape and symmetry through several approaches:
- Mouth corner lifts (commissure lift)
- Cupid's bow and lip line correction
- Philtrum shortening and asymmetry repair
- Smile lip surgery for permanent expression enhancement
Facial fat grafting, also called Baby-Face Grafting, uses pure fat transfer to restore volume. The clinic reports a high fat survival rate because it separates only pure cells for injection.
Lifting and Body Contouring
SMAS Mini Lifting tightens deep tissue layers through small incisions. For body sculpting, the clinic treats gynecomastia by removing glandular and fatty tissue from the chest. This 90-minute procedure typically allows same-day discharge. Patients wear a compression garment for 5 days afterward.
Regenerative Medicine and Technology
The clinic offers HM CelleX MCT cell therapy for skin regeneration. This process uses the patient's own blood or fat to extract growth factors. Cell activity from these treatments typically lasts 3 to 6 months.
Several diagnostic and treatment platforms support non-surgical care:
- ONDA Coolwaves for non-invasive skin tightening and lifting
- Thermage FLX and Ultherapy for wrinkle reduction
- Logiq P5 high-resolution ultrasound for 4D diagnostic imaging
- HRV Analyzer for assessing physiological stress and patient health
All surgical procedures use a 365-day infection-prevention sterilization system.
International Patient Care
The clinic provides English-language communication and supports international clients, including those from the United States. Online consultations let patients receive preliminary estimates before traveling. During surgery, the practice uses a 1:3 customized care system.
This assigns one surgeon, one anesthesiology specialist, and one dedicated nurse to every patient. Aftercare includes a 24-hour emergency contact line and a specialized scar management program. These services help international patients monitor their recovery while abroad.
