Facelift in Wonderful Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Wonderful Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, offers a deep plane facelift to treat sagging skin and deep wrinkles. The clinic is located in the Gangnam district and holds accreditation from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Patients can request a free online consultation via WhatsApp to discuss their surgical goals before traveling.
The Deep Plane Facelift Method
The surgeons use a four-layer lifting technique that targets the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, also known as the SMAS layer. This method goes deeper than traditional skin-only pulls. The surgeon releases retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS to allow for a more natural repositioning of the facial tissues. This process addresses sagging in the mid-face, jawline, and neck area.
The surgery follows a specific sequence of steps:
- Incision placement along the temple hairline and the boundary of the ear to hide scars.
- Dissection of layers to access and release the internal ligaments.
- Four-layer lifting to tighten the underlying muscles and SMAS layer.
- Skin removal where excess sagging tissue is trimmed before closing the site.
Safety and Surgeon Commitment
Dr. Koo Youn-Taek serves as the founder and head surgeon at the clinic. He leads a team of 16 specialists in plastic and aesthetic medicine. The facility maintains a strict no-substitution policy. This means the surgeon you meet during your consultation is the same person who performs the operation. They also manage your recovery process directly to help prevent issues like infection or inflammation.
Recovery and Aftercare Protocol
Patients must follow a structured recovery plan to help the healing process. You must keep your head elevated for the first five days after surgery. For three weeks, you should avoid any activities that strain the face. If the procedure includes a neck lift, you will wear a facial compression band 24 hours a day until the fifth day. These steps help reduce swelling and lower the risk of bleeding after the procedure.

Wonderful Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
Wonderful Plastic Surgery is a private clinic in Seoul's Gangnam district. Established in 2026, it operates with a patient-centered "Healing Art" philosophy. The clinic sits just two minutes from Gangnam Station. Treatment plans are individualized based on thorough examinations rather than generic care packages.
Accreditations and Medical Expertise
Founder and Head Surgeon Dr. Koo Youn-Taek leads the clinic. The medical team includes 16 doctors, with 4 primary surgeons specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Every surgery is performed exclusively by board-certified specialists.
Wonderful Plastic Surgery holds accreditation from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The clinic maintains a strict "no-substitution" policy. The surgeon who conducts your initial consultation also performs the surgery and manages your recovery. This prevents delegated surgeries and keeps the lead specialist accountable for your results.
Specialized Surgical Procedures
The clinic specializes in facial and body contouring through several methods:
- Rhinoplasty – including tip rhinoplasty and corrective procedures
- Eye Surgery – double eyelid creation and eye shape correction
- Facelifts – specialized deep plane facelifts for significant rejuvenation
- Body Contouring – liposuction across multiple areas, such as the tummy, neck, and double chin
- Breast Surgery – augmentation and lifting procedures
Recovery for deep plane facelifts follows specific safety protocols. Patients keep their heads elevated for the first 5 days. Straining the face is restricted for 3 weeks to reduce bleeding risks. For neck lifts, facial compression bands are worn 24 hours a day until the fifth post-operative day.
Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetic Treatments
The clinic also offers non-surgical aesthetic and cosmetology services. These treatments improve skin quality and refine facial features without incisions:
- Injectables – Botox, fillers, and skin boosters like Juvelook and Rejuran
- Lifting Technologies – radiofrequency, ultrasound, and titanium lifting
- Body Treatments – cryolipolysis (Coolsculpting) and mesotherapy for fat reduction
- Regenerative Therapy – Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments and stem cell injections
Skin treatments often complement surgical outcomes. Some patients receive under-eye filler alongside buccal fat extraction for a balanced facial profile. The clinic maintains over 800 review items, including 33 detailed before-and-after cases.
Patient Safety and Technology
The facility maintains a calm medical environment with private consultation rooms. It avoids crowded waiting areas to protect patient privacy. Safety protocols include transparent communication about potential complications like infection or inflammation. Surgeons use precise planning based on accurate diagnoses to avoid unnecessary operations.
