Willbe Plastic Surgery is a private aesthetic clinic in Seoul, South Korea. It sits in the Gangnam District. The clinic focuses on facial aesthetics, including eye surgery, rhinoplasty, and lifting. It is a single-doctor practice led by Dr. Kim Jun-young, a board-certified plastic surgery specialist. He personally handles every patient from consultation to surgery.
The clinic offers SMAS facelifts and endoscopic forehead lifting for sagging skin. For rhinoplasty, the team provides both natural and implant-based options. Ear cartilage is often used for a natural nose tip. A signature treatment is the customized thread lift. It uses bidirectional melting PDO threads approved by the South Korean government. The team also performs PRP micro fat grafting with an on-site centrifuge. This improves facial volume and skin texture on the hands.
