After using REDnote for three months, I finally took this step—going to South Korea for eye and nose surgery.
To be honest, I did a lot of research before this. I visited several plastic surgery clinics in Shanghai for consultations, but frankly… the prices were too high, and I didn’t really like the style of results the doctors offered. Later, I saw a blogger share her experience getting double eyelids and nose surgery in South Korea, and the results looked so natural that I was immediately interested.
This time, I chose Wondeul Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, because a friend recommended it to me. She said this hospital is particularly famous for its eye and nose surgeries, and Director Han Jun’s “natural” style is their signature. So I made an appointment for a consultation on BeautsGO, and to my surprise, the whole process went incredibly smoothly.
First, why did I choose Wondeul Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, South Korea?
Before deciding to go to South Korea, I compared many hospitals, including some so-called “internet-famous” ones. I ultimately chose Wondeul Plastic Surgery for the following reasons:
- Convenient location: It’s located on Gangnam-daero in Seoul, just a 5-minute walk from Gangnam Station, making it extremely convenient for shopping.
- Focus on natural results: Director Han Jun’s style emphasizes natural-looking results, avoiding exaggerated “internet-famous noses” or “Western-style double eyelids”.
- Advanced 3D simulation technology: Before the surgery, you can use 3D images to see what the results will look like. This really reassured me.
- Aseptic surgical environment: My friend emphasized that the hospital’s operating rooms are of very high standard.
Second, let’s take a look at the actual environment of Wondeul Plastic Surgery in Gangnam: located in the heart of the area.
The hospital is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Naesong Building, 453 Gangnam-daero, Naesong-gu, Seoul—covering two entire floors.
Upon arrival, my first impression was that the place was very clean and quiet. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby offered a view of the streets below, and the sofas in the waiting area were very comfortable. Since I didn’t understand Korean, the receptionist kindly provided me with a notice card in Chinese, which was quite surprising.
After completing the registration process, I underwent a visia skin checkup before meeting with Dr. Han Jun in person. He spoke in a gentle manner but was highly professional when analyzing my concerns. He immediately noticed the slight asymmetry in my eyelids and showed me several comparison images of similar cases.
III. Plastic Surgery Options for My Eyes and Nose: A Detailed Record of My Consultation
Dr. Han suggested that I undergo minimally invasive double eyelid surgery along with canthoplasty for my eyes, and a comprehensive nose procedure (including rhinoplasty and alar reduction) for my nose.
During the 3D simulation session, the system displayed before-and-after images. I was quite satisfied with the overall results. Dr. Han mentioned that my facial features were small and delicate, so a nose that was too tall or prominent wouldn’t suit me well; a “natural” look would be more appropriate for me. His advice felt trustworthy and didn’t seem like he was just trying to push a particular treatment.

To be honest, my biggest concern when going to Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time was the language barrier. I booked through BeautsGO, and their customer service team translated all the questions I needed in advance. They also provided interpretation throughout my visit. I strongly recommend that those going to Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time leave the booking and communication details to BeautsGO – you can just focus on getting better-looking 💅
IV. Are the prices transparent? Here are some reference prices found on BeautsGO
Many people are concerned about prices, so I also checked this hospital’s public price list on BeautsGO and would like to share it with you as a reference:
- Minimally invasive double eyelid surgery: Approximately 2–3 million Korean won
- Canthoplasty (inner canthus): Approximately 1.5–2 million Korean won
- Nasal surgery package: Approximately 4–6 million Korean won
⚠️ Note: The exact prices will be determined after a face-to-face consultation with the doctor, as everyone’s situation is different. However, compared to similar treatments in Shanghai, the prices in Korea are indeed more competitive, and the technical expertise and case portfolio are also more extensive.
Are the prices of cosmetic surgeries in Korea really that expensive? Many of my friends who have gone to Korea for such procedures first check the prices on BeautsGO before making their arrangements. The platform provides public price lists from multiple hospitals, allowing for easy comparisons and avoiding the awkward situation of facing “foreigner prices” at the clinic.
You can visit the official website of BeautsGO Plastic Surgery to view the latest prices and make appointments.
What should be noted during the recovery period after surgery?
Although I mainly went for a consultation this time and didn’t have any surgery, the director explained in detail the key points of postoperative care:
- Apply ice packs within 72 hours after surgery, then switch to heat packs to promote blood circulation.
- Keep the wound dry until the stitches are removed; use a damp towel when washing your face.
- Dietary restrictions: avoid spicy foods and alcohol for one month after surgery.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and rest for at least 2–3 days.
- Take anti-swelling medication on time and contact the hospital immediately if any abnormalities occur.
To be honest, I was a bit nervous after hearing all this, but the director assured me that they have dedicated Chinese-speaking customer service staff available to answer any questions at any time, which really put my mind at ease.
Conclusion: How to Choose a Plastic Surgery Clinic in Jiangnan? My Recommendations
I would give this experience at Wente Plastic Surgery a score of 8.5/10.
The main reasons for deducting points are: ① Language barriers; it’s better to have a translator present for peace of mind; ② Although the prices are lower than in Shanghai, they aren’t particularly cheap either.
Overall, if you’re looking for natural-looking results for eye and nose surgery, Wente Plastic Surgery in Jiangnan is a worthy option. The key is to use a reliable booking platform to ensure smooth communication.
If you also consider going to Korea for plastic surgery, I recommend using BeautsGO to research hospitals and prices before making a reservation—it will save you a lot of trouble.
