Meet your doctor

JUNG YUN IK is the clinic director and plastic surgeon at DI Plastic Surgery. He graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine and completed plastic surgery training at Severance Hospital. His role begins before any procedure is selected: understanding the person, the reason for the visit and the questions that need clear answers.

Thoughtful consultation begins with listening

A consultation is not a promise of a particular result. It is a structured conversation about your goals, medical history, facial or body characteristics, available options and the limits of what treatment may reasonably achieve.

Dr. Jung explains the proposed approach, alternatives, recovery considerations and possible risks so that each patient has time to compare information and make a considered decision.

Preparing for your consultation

Bring a list of your priorities, previous procedures, current medications, allergies and any relevant medical records. Reference photographs can help explain preferences, but an in-person examination is needed to determine suitability.

International patients may also share their preferred language, travel schedule and expected length of stay in advance. This helps the clinic plan communication and follow-up without replacing the final medical assessment.

Education and professional background

Dr. Jung graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine, completed internship and plastic surgery specialization at Severance Hospital, and continued plastic surgery training at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in the United States. He has served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Severance Hospital and as a clinic director in Apgujeong.

His professional activities include Korean plastic-surgery and aesthetic-surgery societies and research groups covering rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, breast surgery, facial contouring and fat surgery. He also received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare related to upper-eyelid surgery in older adults.

From consultation to the operating room

The surgeon’s work starts with deciding whether a procedure is suitable and defining a plan that respects the patient’s anatomy, health information and priorities. Before surgery, the proposed method, alternatives, anesthesia, expected recovery and possible risks should be reviewed together.

In the operating room, the plan is paired with the monitoring and team appropriate for the procedure. After surgery, findings, instructions and follow-up are communicated so that recovery can be assessed over time. The photographs on this page show Dr. Jung’s profile and a real surgical setting; they do not predict an individual result.

Information that helps us prepare a useful reply

When contacting the clinic, tell us the procedure or concern you would like to discuss, your preferred language, whether you have had related treatment before and the dates you could visit Seoul. International patients may also wish to include their arrival and departure dates so the team can explain when an in-person consultation and follow-up may fit into the trip.

Please do not send passport numbers, payment information or complete medical records through an initial website inquiry. A coordinator can explain which health information or photographs are relevant and how they should be shared. Online guidance is preliminary; suitability, technique and the final treatment plan are determined only after an appropriate medical assessment.
