About DI & Directions

Consultation and treatment planning at DI Plastic Surgery are led by a board-certified plastic surgeon. The consultation considers facial structure, medical history, previous procedures, individual concerns and the type of change the patient is considering. A suitable plan may be different for every patient, even when the requested procedure has the same name.

Before making a decision, patients should understand the proposed method, reasonable alternatives, expected recovery, possible risks and the limitations of surgery. Online photographs and messages can help organize an initial conversation, but the final medical recommendation is made after an in-person assessment.

DI Plastic Surgery is located on the 12th floor of the Seosan Building at 441 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul. The clinic is accessible from both Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station, which can be convenient for international patients staying in central Seoul.

The main areas of care include rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, lifting, facial contouring and selected reconstructive or functional procedures. Each procedure page explains the purpose and approach in more detail, while an individual consultation is needed to determine suitability.

International patients can share their preferred language, planned travel dates, procedure interests and relevant medical history before visiting Korea. This information helps the clinic prepare the consultation and identify questions that should be discussed with the surgeon. Support is available for visitors communicating in English, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian and Thai.

Patients planning surgery in Seoul should allow enough time for consultation, examination, the procedure and early follow-up. Travel plans should remain flexible until the surgeon confirms the expected recovery schedule. The clinic can explain appointment timing and the follow-up process, but immigration, flight and accommodation arrangements remain the patient’s responsibility.

The care process may begin with an online inquiry, followed by an in-person consultation and medical assessment. When surgery is appropriate, the team explains the planned method, preoperative instructions, anesthesia, expected recovery and follow-up schedule. Necessary examinations and consent take place before the procedure.

After surgery, monitoring and postoperative instructions are coordinated according to the procedure and the patient’s condition. Follow-up can include wound care, removal of sutures, recovery checks and guidance for returning to normal activities. Recovery differs between patients, and photographs or published experiences cannot predict an individual result.

Patient safety includes appropriate preoperative assessment, anesthesia support, monitoring during surgery, infection-control procedures and preparation for emergencies. DI maintains emergency medication and equipment and uses a structured process for postoperative communication. The exact medical team and monitoring requirements depend on the procedure and patient.

Plastic surgery prices in Korea vary according to the procedure, surgical complexity, whether revision surgery is involved, anesthesia, required examinations, materials and the individual treatment plan. An online estimate is not a final quotation. The clinic provides the confirmed cost after assessment and explanation of what is included. Patients should also budget for travel, accommodation, medication and any additional follow-up required in Seoul.
