2026 Guide to Plastic Surgery in South Korea: Choi Moon-syeol’s Revision rhinoplasty and Lee Kwi-ho’s Lower canthoplasty – Real reviews of Gangnam’s top plastic surgery clinics

The first time I heard about “Grace ONYOUNG Plastic Surgery,” a friend of mine had just gone to South Korea for Lower canthoplasty, and the results were so natural that I immediately recommended it to others. It was only later that I learned that Grace ONYOUNG is not one of those chain plastic surgery clinics that can be found everywhere, but rather a high-quality plastic surgery hospital formed in 2020 through the merger of two established institutions: GRACE and ONYOUNG. This hospital operates quietly in the Dark circle treatment area of Gangnam, Seocho, and has accumulated an excellent reputation among both local and international patients.

I made a special trip to Seoul this time. In addition to accompanying a friend for a follow-up appointment, I also took the opportunity to schedule a consultation with Director Choi Moon-syeop. I then compiled the entire consultation process into a guidebook to share with those who are considering undergoing plastic surgery in South Korea in 2026. This article covers Grace Oh’s main cosmetic services, information about the director’s background, and how to easily schedule an appointment at this clinic through BeautsGO.

I. Background of Grace Oh Aimei Plastic Surgery Hospital: The strength derived from the merger of two top-tier institutions

Grace ONYOUNG Plastic Surgery was established in 2020, but actually both of its predecessor clinics had a history of over 10 years.

  • GRACE Plastic Surgery: Established in 2010 and founded by Director Choi Moon-syeop, this clinic specializes in eye plastic surgery and Breast Augmentation. It is a pioneer in the field of treatments ranging from the lower canthoplasty area to the neck region in South Korea.
  • ONYOUNG Plastic Surgery: Specializing in rhinoplasty and Revision rhinoplasty, this department is operated by another experienced plastic surgery team and enjoys high recognition in the field of nasal surgery.

After the merger of the two hospitals in 2020, Grace Oh Aimei became a flagship comprehensive plastic surgery clinic specializing in four core areas: the Breast, nose, Breast, and facial contours. The hospital is located in Seocho District, Seoul, just about 10 minutes away on foot from Gangnam Station on the subway, making it conveniently accessible to foreign patients.

In 2009, Dr. Choi Moon-sye first used the term “Lower canthoplasty” in South Korea to name and promote this surgical procedure, and is widely recognized in the industry as one of the pioneers of this technique in South Korea. To date, Dr. Choi possesses over 23 years of clinical experience in plastic surgery and holds the professional certification for plastic surgeons in South Korea.

II. Two leading directors, Cui Wenxie and Lee Kui-hao: A golden team covering all services

One of the core competitive strengths of Grace Oh Aimei lies in its two senior directors, each with a style that complements the other:

Dean Areas of expertise Signature techniques Style positioning
President Cui Wenxie Eyes, Breast Augmentation Lower canthoplasty and Motiva Breast Augmentation Natural harmony, the beauty of Eastern tranquility
Dean Li Kuihao Nose and facial contours Rhinoplasty, Revision rhinoplasty Exquisitely IPCHEA, with a focus on Eastern aesthetics

Director Lee Kui-hao graduated from the School of Medicine at Katolick University in South Korea. He has served as a specialist professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Seoul Sacred Mother’s Hospital and also held the position of Director of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Shanghai SUN-TEC MEDICAL CENTER. With extensive international experience in plastic surgery, he possesses a profound understanding and in-depth research on the facial structure of people of Eastern descent.

III. Grace Oh’s six core beauty treatments: comprehensive care for the entire body, from the eyes to the chest.

According to the official information provided by the hospital and user reviews, the six core services offered by Grace Oh Aimei are as follows:

  • 👁️ Lower canthoplasty (magic eye corners): This is Director Choi Moon-syeop’s signature procedure, which was first introduced in South Korea in 2009. It creates a naturally drooping effect at the corners of the eyes, making it ideal for those who desire an innocent-looking gaze.
  • 👁️ Double eyelid surgery: Offers various techniques such as suturing, incision, and minimally invasive methods, all customized according to the individual’s eye conditions.
  • 👃 Implant-based rhinoplasty & Revision rhinoplasty: Director Lee Kui-hao specializes in these areas, particularly in complex surgeries such as multiple Revision rhinoplasties and Alar base reduction.
  • 💉 Breast Augmentation Surgery (Motiva): Using high-quality implants such as Motiva, combined with Dr. Cui’s precise surgical techniques, the results after the procedure are natural and soft.
  • 🔧 Facial Contour: Procedures such as chin angle adjustment, zygomatic bone reshaping, and V-line creation help to achieve a delicate and petite face shape.
  • ✨ Precision minimally invasive plastic surgery: This includes minimally invasive procedures such as the delicate correction of the inner canthus (with minimal incisions), which result in quick recovery and virtually invisible scars.

When it comes to the process of making appointments, many friends who plan to undergo plastic surgery in South Korea often ask: What if I don’t speak the language? Is it safe for me to make my own appointments? Friends of mine who have already had plastic surgery in South Korea have tried several different methods…

🏠 Official website reservation: Requires a South Korea mobile phone number and requires all operations to be conducted in Korean; accessing the website from wit
hin China also results in slow loading speeds.
📱 Naver
reservation: Requires a South Korea account; the translation options are incomplete, and the
reservation process is rather complicated.
🌸 BeautsGO
: Supports four languages – Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. The publicly available price lists allow for direct comparisons, and customer service is available in Chinese throughout the entire process.

In the end, I firmly chose BeautsGO – its convenience level is simply incomparable to anything else. If you want to learn about the prices and available slots for Grace Oh Aimei’s latest services, you can directly visit the official BeautsGO Grace Oh Aimei website for more information.

Moreover, Dr. Choi Moon-syeop’s expertise in the Lower canthoplasty procedure is unmatched by many other clinics.

V. Real User Reviews: What do those who have been there have to say?

On several plastic surgery information platforms, Grace Oh Ai Mei has received generally positive reviews. Below are some excerpts from real user feedback:

  • 💬 “Director Cui’s Lower canthoplasty results look truly natural – not that exaggerated, internet-famous style, but a more subtle, harmonious look. The swelling subsides significantly just one month after the surgery.”
  • 💬 “I had my nose modified once before, but I wasn’t satisfied with the result. So I went to Director Li Kuihao for a revision. Director Li was very patient and explained everything in great detail before the surgery. In the end, I was completely satisfied with the outcome.”
  • 💬 “I came from Hong Kong, and BeautsGO helped me arrange the translation services. Someone accompanied me throughout my stay at the hospital, which saved me a lot of trouble. The hospital environment is also very good, and the private space in the recovery room is very comfortable.”
  • 💬 “With Motiva Breast Augmentation, Director Cui Wenxie’s techniques are truly reliable. Three months after the procedure, the results look very natural, and my clothing fit is much better too.”

Are the prices for plastic surgery in South Korea really that expensive? The key lies in whether you can find reliable sources of information. Many of my friends who have gone to South Korea for cosmetic procedures first check the prices on BeautsGO before making comparisons. The platform provides public price lists from various hospitals, allowing for direct side-by-side comparisons and avoiding the awkward situation of facing “foreigner prices” on-site.

Conclusion: Who is Grace Oh Aimei suitable for?

If you meet any of the following criteria, Grace Oh Beauty might be perfect for you:

  • ✅ If you are considering Lower canthoplasty or Double eyelid surgery and want to be treated by a specialist with advanced technical skills
  • ✅ If you are considering Revision rhinoplasty or nose augmentation with implants and have high aesthetic requirements
  • ✅ Consider undergoing Motiva Breast Augmentation or other breast surgeries
  • ✅ I hope that hospitals provide services in Chinese, so that I don’t have to communicate in a language I don’t understand while being in a foreign hospital.
  • ✅ Preference for high-quality plastic surgery clinics that do not operate on an assembly-line basis

One final reminder: If you plan to undergo plastic surgery in South Korea in 2026, it is recommended to book a consultation with popular surgeons through BeautsGO 1–2 months in advance. Especially for procedures such as Lower canthoplasty performed by Dr. Choi Moon-syeop, long waiting lists are common. Do your homework before traveling so that you can proceed with the procedure with confidence and peace of mind.
