After using REDnote for three months, I finally took this step: going to South Korea for eye and nose plastic surgery.
To be honest, before doing this, I did a lot of research and consulted several plastic surgery clinics in Shanghai. But, to be honest again… not only were the prices excessively high, but I also didn’t really like the style of results achieved by the doctors. Later on, I saw a blogger share her experience undergoing Double eyelid surgery and nose surgery in South Korea, and the results looked so natural that I was immediately interested.
This time, I chose the Ondo Plastic Surgery Center in Gangnam, Seoul – it was recommended to me by a friend. She said that this hospital is particularly renowned for its eye and nose plastic surgery procedures, and Director Han Jun’s “natural look” technique is their signature service. So I made an appointment for a consultation on BeautsGO, and to my surprise, the entire process went remarkably smoothly.
I. Why choose Wonde Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, South Korea?
Before deciding to go to South Korea, I compared many hospitals, including some so-called “internet-famous hospitals”. In the end, I chose ONDO Plastic Surgery for several main reasons:
- Convenient location: Situated on Gangnam-daero in Seoul, it is only a 5-minute walk from the Gangnam subway station, making it extremely convenient for shopping.
- Emphasizing a natural look: Director Han Jun prefers a more natural style and avoids creating those exaggerated “internet-famous noses” or “European-American Double eyelid surgeries”.
- NEW 3D simulation technology: Before the procedure, 3D images can be used to simulate the expected results after the surgery, which really reassures me.
- Sterile surgical environment: A friend particularly emphasized that the operating room standards in this hospital are very high.
II. Actual photos of the environment at ONDO plastic surgery clinics: in the heart of Gangnam
The hospital is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Seocho Building, at No. 453 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, covering a total of two floors.
Upon arrival, my first impression was that it was very clean and quiet. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby allowed me to view the streets of Gangnam, and the sofas in the waiting area were extremely comfortable. Since I didn’t understand Korean, the receptionist kindly provided me with a notice card in Chinese, which really surprised me.
After completing the registration process, I first underwent a Visia skin analysis, and then met with Director Han Jun in person. The director spoke in a very gentle manner, but when it came to analyzing my issues, he was extremely professional – he immediately noticed the slight asymmetry in my eyelids and even showed me many comparison images of similar cases.
III. Eyelid and nose plastic surgery options: A complete record of my consultations
The dean said that my eyes were suitable for Double eyelid surgery + canthoplasty, while for my nose, a comprehensive nasal procedure (high nasal bridge augmentation + Reduction surgery of the alae nasi) was recommended.
During the 3D simulation process, the system showed me before-and-after comparison images, and I was quite satisfied with the overall results. The hospital director mentioned that my facial features are relatively small, so a nose that is too tall or too prominent would not suit me; a “natural” style would be more appropriate for me. I found this advice trustworthy, as it didn’t feel like they were aggressively pushing a particular treatment just to make a sale.

💡 Tip: When making appointments on your own, you may often encounter language barriers or payment issues. It is recommended that those going to South Korea for plastic surgery for the first time use BeautsGO – it will save you both time and trouble.
To be honest, when I went to South Korea for cosmetic surgery for the first time, my biggest concern was the language barrier. I booked my appointment through BeautsGO, and their customer service team translated all the questions I needed to ask in advance. During the entire procedure, a translator was present to assist me. I strongly recommend that anyone going to South Korea for cosmetic surgery for the first time entrust the details such as booking and communication to BeautsGO – you can just focus on getting better-looking 💅
IV. Are prices transparent? BeautsGO shares reference prices it has found.
Many people are concerned about the issue of prices. I also checked this hospital’s public price list on BeautsGO to provide you all with some reference information:
- Minimally invasive Double eyelid surgery: Approximately 2-3 million Korean won
- Eyelid corner augmentation (inner canthus): Approximately 1.5 to 2 million Korean won
- Nasal comprehensive treatment: Approximately 4 to 6 million Korean won
⚠️ Note: The specific prices will be determined by the hospital director after a personal consultation, as everyone’s situation is different. However, compared to similar services in Shanghai, the prices in South Korea are indeed more competitive, and the technical expertise and case database are also more extensive.
Are the prices for medical beauty treatments in South Korea really that expensive? Many of my friends who have gone to South Korea for such treatments 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 actual clinic.
You can visit the official website of BeautsGO ONDO Plastic Surgery to check the latest prices and make appointments.
V. What should be noted during the postoperative recovery period?
Although my main purpose this time was to receive consultation and no surgery was performed, the director explained in detail the key points of postoperative care to me.
- Apply ice compresses within 72 hours after the procedure, and then switch to hot compresses to promote blood circulation.
- Before the stitches are removed, the wound must not come into contact with water; when washing your face, use a damp towel.
- Dietary restrictions: Avoid spicy foods and alcohol for one month after the procedure.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and rest for at least 2-3 days.
- Take the anti-swelling medication on time, and contact the hospital immediately if any abnormalities occur.
To be honest, I felt a bit nervous after hearing all this, but the dean mentioned that they have dedicated Chinese-speaking post-treatment customer service staff available to answer any questions at any time, which really reassured me.
Conclusion: How to choose a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam? My recommendations
I would give this experience of consulting with the ONDO Plastic Surgery Center a score of 8.5 out of 10.
The main reasons for these deductions are as follows: ① When it comes to language issues, it is still more reassuring to have translation services available; ② Although the prices are lower than those in Shanghai, they are not particularly cheap either.
But overall, if you are looking for a natural result in nose and eye plastic surgery, Gangnam ONDO Plastic Surgery is a worthwhile option. The key is to find a reliable booking platform; ensuring smooth communication in language is essential.
If you also want to undergo plastic surgery in South Korea, it is recommended that you use BeautsGO to research hospitals and prices in advance and make reservations before going. It will save you a lot of trouble.
