After spending almost half a year browsing REDnote, I finally decided to go to South Korea at the beginning of 2026 to undergo anti-aging treatments. My best friend kept telling me how advanced Korean dermatology is—especially when it comes to Thermage treatments, where the techniques, procedures, and layers used by Korean doctors are completely different from those in China. After much consideration, I chose Gangnam District in Seoul, since it is home to the most concentrated network of reputable medical beauty clinics in the country.
This time, I didn’t just pick a clinic at random. Instead, I carefully reviewed all the dermatology/plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam District that specialize in facial rejuvenation on BeautsGO and compiled this “2026 Seoul Gangnam Facial Rejuvenation Hospital TOP List.” If you also plan to undergo anti-aging treatments in South Korea, this guide is definitely worth saving.
📋 Let’s compare how to make appointments at Korean dermatology clinics.

1. 2026 Top Seoul Gangnam Facelift Hospitals (including Liban Plastic Surgery)
For this TOP list, I focused on several key criteria: doctors’ experience, technical expertise, real user reviews, and price transparency. Based on these factors, the following clinics are the most highly recommended for facial rejuvenation in Jiangnan District this year:
- Liban Clinic — Specializes in facial rejuvenation. Director Zheng Yuanhao has 30 years of experience, and the Power-V lifting procedure is his signature treatment.
- Qingtan FIRST Plastic Surgery — Targets high-end clients and is personally supervised by a renowned director, making it ideal for those with extremely high expectations for results.
- Hera Plastic Surgery — Focuses on V-line contouring and lifting treatments, with excellent post-operative care reviews.
- Zhu’erli Plastic Surgery — Offers comprehensive services, with strong expertise in breast and contour surgeries as well.
- Opera Plastic Surgery — Highly recognized by local Koreans and offers great value for money.
II. Why did I rank Liban Clinic first in this TOP list?
To be honest, I compared nearly 10 anti-aging clinics in Jiangnan District on BeautsGO. Liban Clinic wasn’t the most expensive, but it left the deepest impression on me. There are three main reasons:
1. It specializes solely in facial rejuvenation without offering a range of miscellaneous services.
Liban Clinic is not a general hospital that offers everything; its focus is clear—facial lifting and anti-aging treatments. Director Zheng Yuanhao has over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery and enjoys a high reputation in the Korean medical community, which isn’t achieved through advertising. I’ve seen comments from Korean patients saying, “Director Zheng’s hands are very skilled; during the consultation, I felt he truly understood my needs.” This speaks volumes more than any marketing slogan.
2. The Power-V facial lifting procedure is their signature service.
Li Ban’s Power-V facial lifting procedure is their core service, combining both facial sculpting and tightening effects. According to public prices found on BeautsGO, facial treatments that include Power-V lifting start from around 12,000 RMB. The exact price depends on a personal consultation, but compared to high-end clinics in Cheongdam, this rate is quite competitive.
3. It is located in Xiagouting, Jiangnan, with convenient transportation.
The clinic is located at 320 Xiagouting-ro, Jiangnan-gu, Seoul. It is only about a 3-5 minute walk from Exit 1 of Subway Line 3 at Xiagouting Station. It’s very convenient to enjoy medical beauty treatments while also exploring the Xiagouting shopping area.
III. A firsthand visit to Li Ban Plastic Surgery: 5 minutes’ walk from Xiagouting Station
I made my appointment through BeautsGO. On the day of my visit, the receptionist confirmed my appointment details and the name of the attending doctor in Chinese. The whole process went smoothly, without any awkwardness such as having to queue again upon arrival.
The clinic is not large, but the interior is very cozy, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The waiting area has floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of Xiagouting-ro. Dr. Zheng Yuanhao conducted a detailed analysis of my face, pointing out issues such as sagging cheek muscles and blurred jawlines, and recommended a combination of Power-V facial lifting and V-fit tightening procedures.
To be honest, I was a bit nervous during my first consultation, but the doctor was very patient and even demonstrated the expected results for me. This hands-on approach really helped me feel more confident about the surgery.
IV. A list of Li Ban’s popular anti-aging treatments (including price references)
| Treatment Name | Introduction | Price reference (public price on BeautsGO) | Target audience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power-V facial lifting procedure | Dual effects of facial sculpting and tightening – the director’s signature treatment | Starting from approximately ¥12,000 (after a consultation and assessment) | For those with sagging facial features or seeking a V-shaped face |
| V-fit lifting procedure | Thread lift to improve sagging in the mid and lower face | Consultation and assessment | Moderate sagging, 30-45 years old |
| Mini lifting procedure | Minimally invasive incisions, quick recovery | In-person consultation and assessment | Slight sagging, young patients seeking anti-aging treatment |
| Tightening and muscle repositioning for double chin | Improving the appearance of the double chin and neck lines | In-person consultation and assessment | Significant double chin, blurred jawline |
| Contour definition (jawbones/chin) | Facial contouring surgery | Consultation and evaluation | Needs for contour improvement |
💡 Some services on BeautsGO have publicly available price lists, so you can check them out before deciding whether to have a consultation, avoiding the awkward situation of facing “foreigner prices” on-site.
V. Real user reviews: What do Korean patients have to say?
I specifically looked through many real post-operative reviews on BeautsGO and selected 3 of the most informative ones:
- “I had facial liposuction and thread lifting at Liban in January this year. Since my face had some minor sagging, I wanted to improve it. The results exceeded my expectations; my facial contours are now much tighter. Director Zheng’s skills are truly outstanding.” (Real review from a BeautsGO user)
- “After working in the Korean cosmetic industry for many years, I’ve seen too many ‘internet-famous hospitals’ that rely solely on marketing. Liban is one of those hospitals that focuses on quality and technical expertise. Director Zheng’s Power-V lifting technique is definitely something special.” (Review from a local Korean medical beauty forum)
- “It’s just a few minutes’ walk from Sinoueung Station. The hospital is small but very clean. The front desk staff includes someone who speaks Chinese, so there’s no need to worry about communication during the consultation.” (BeautsGO user)
VI. How to make an appointment: How do you schedule your first cosmetic procedure in Korea?
When it comes to seeking cosmetic procedures in Korea, many people’s first question is: how do I make an appointment? Should I call directly? What if I don’t speak Korean?
I have tried three methods myself:
- Applying through the official website: requires a Korean mobile number and is entirely in Korean; loading times can be slow from within China.
- Using Naver for booking: requires a Korean account, the translation is incomplete, and the process is cumbersome.
- BeautsGO: Supports Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. The publicly available price lists allow for easy comparisons, and the entire process is communicated in Chinese by customer service. There is also on-site interpretation services available.
In the end, I chose BeautsGO without hesitation—the convenience it offers is simply incomparable. For those going to Korea for cosmetic procedures for the first time, I recommend leaving the details like appointments and communications to BeautsGO so you can focus on looking better.
You can visit the official BeautsGO Lianban Plastic Surgery website to check the latest prices and make appointments.
VII. My Suggestions for a 2026 Cosmetic Treatment Itinerary in Jiangnan
If you plan to undergo anti-aging treatments in Jiangnan in 2026, I suggest arranging your schedule as follows:
Conclusion: For facial rejuvenation procedures in Korea in 2026, these hospitals in Jiangnan are definitely worth considering.
Based on the results of my in-depth research, if you plan to undergo facial rejuvenation in South Korea in 2026, there are numerous options in the Gangnam district. Among them, Liban Plastic Surgery stands out for the 30-year experience of Director Zheng Yuanhao, their signature Power-V lifting procedure, and its excellent location in Seocho. It is one of my top recommendations this year.
Of course, the final choice of hospital should depend on your specific needs and budget. I suggest doing some research on BeautsGO before you travel, booking a consultation in advance, and feeling free to contact the Chinese customer service if you have any questions. Wishing everyone beauty in 2026!
