I spent nearly half a year browsing REDnote before finally deciding 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 – even for treatments like Thermage, the techniques and approaches used by Korean doctors are completely different from those in China. After much deliberation, I chose Gangnam, Seoul as my destination, because it is home to the densest network of legitimate medical beauty institutions in all of South Korea.
This time, I didn’t just pick a hospital at random. Instead, I carefully reviewed all the dermatology/plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam District that specialize in Lifting treatments on BeautsGO, and finally compiled this “2026 Top Hospitals for Facial Lifting in Seoul’s Gangnam District”. If you are also considering undergoing anti-aging treatments in South Korea, this guide is definitely worth saving.

I. 2026 TOP List of Facial Lifting Hospitals in Gangnam, Seoul (including Liban Plastic Surgery)
For this TOP list, I focused on several key criteria: doctors’ qualifications, technical expertise, real user reviews, and price transparency. Taking all these factors into account, the following institutions are the most highly recommended for facial Lifting services in Gangnam this year:
- Liban Clinic – Specializing in facial rejuvenation. With 30 years of experience, Director Zheng Yuanhao’s Power-V lifting procedure is his signature treatment.
- Cheongdam FIRST Plastic Surgery Center — Specializes in serving high-end clients. The chief physician is a famous celebrity, making it ideal for those with extremely high expectations regarding treatment results.
- Hera Plastic Surgery specializes in the combined treatment of V-line contour shaping and Lifting, and enjoys an excellent reputation for its post-operative care services.
- Zhu’erli Plastic Surgery – Possesses strong comprehensive capabilities, and is also expert in Breast and contour surgery.
- Opéra Plastic Surgery – Highly recognized by local Koreans in South Korea and offers a great value for money.
II. Why have I ranked “Lianban Plastic Surgery” at the very top of the list?
To be honest, I compared the anti-aging services offered by nearly 10 institutions in Gangnam District on BeautsGO. Liban wasn’t the most expensive one, but it left the deepest impression on me. There are three main reasons for this:
1. Focusing solely on facial rejuvenation, without delving into other areas.
Lianban is not that kind of general hospital that offers a wide range of services; its focus is very clear – it specializes in facial Lifting and anti-aging treatments. Dean Zheng Yuanhao has over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery and enjoys a high reputation within the local Korean medical community, a reputation that did not come from excessive advertising. I have seen comments from Korean patients who said, “Dean Zheng’s hands are very steady; during the consultation, I felt that he truly understood my needs.” This kind of feedback is far more reassuring than any marketing slogan.
2. The Power-V facial lifting procedure is our signature service.
The Power-V facial Lifting procedure offered by Liban is their core service, combining the effects of precise facial sculpting with Lifting and firming treatments. According to the public prices available on BeautsGO, facial treatments including Power-V Lifting start from around 12,000 RMB. The exact fee depends on a personalized consultation and assessment. However, compared to high-end clinics in Cheongdam at the same level, this price is quite competitive.
3. Xieou Pavilion in Gangnam offers convenient transportation.
The hospital is located at 320 Seogwotong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It is only about 3 to 5 minutes on foot from Exit 1 of Seogwotong Station on Line 3 of the subway. It is very convenient to enjoy the shopping facilities in the Seogwotong area while undergoing medical beauty treatments.
III. On-site visit to Liban Plastic Surgery Clinic: Just a 5-minute walk from Xiou Ting Station
I made my appointment through BeautsGO. On the day I arrived at the clinic, the receptionist checked my appointment information and confirmed with me in Chinese the specific treatment and the name of the attending doctor. The whole process went very smoothly, and there was no such embarrassment as having to queue up again for a face-to-face consultation upon arrival, which I had been worried about beforehand.
The hospital is not large in size, but its interior decoration is very cozy, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The waiting area is equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow one to view the street views of Xi’ou Ting Road. Dean Zheng Yuanhao conducted a detailed analysis of my facial features and pointed out issues such as the sagging of my apple cheeks and the blurring of my jawline. He recommended a combined treatment using the Power-V facial lift procedure along with the V-fit lift surgery.
To be honest, I was a bit nervous during my first in-person consultation, but the director was extremely patient in explaining things to me and even used gestures to show me what the final results would look like. This kind of “see-is-believe” communication approach really helped me feel more confident about the surgery.
IV. A Overview of Popular Anti-aging Treatments Offered by Lianban (including price references)
| Project Name | Introduction | Reference price (public price on BeautsGO) | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power-V facial lifting procedure | Dual effects of facial sculpting and skin tightening – the signature treatment offered by the clinic director. | Starting from approximately ¥12,000 (after a face-to-face consultation and assessment). | Facial sagging and the demand for a V-shaped face |
| V-fit lifting procedure | Suture Lifting for Improving Sagging in the Middle and Lower Facial Areas | In-person consultation and assessment | Moderate ptosis, aged 30-45 years |
| Mini Lifting Procedure | Minimally invasive incisions result in a shorter recovery period. | In-person consultation and assessment | Mild sagging; anti-aging for younger individuals |
| Tightening procedure for the double chin muscles | Improve the appearance of double chin and neck lines | In-person consultation and assessment | Prominent double chin and blurred jawline |
| Contours (jawbones/chin) | Facial contouring surgery | In-person consultation and assessment | The need for contour improvement |
💡 On BeautsGO, the prices for some services are publicly listed. You can check these prices in advance before deciding whether to schedule a in-person consultation, thus avoiding the awkward situation of facing “different prices for foreigners” on-site.
V. Real User Reviews: What Do Korean Beauty Seekers Think?
I specifically reviewed a large number of post-operative reviews from real users on BeautsGO and selected three of the most informative ones for reference.
- “I had facial Z-lifting and thread lifting at Liban in January this year. Since my face had some slight sagging, I had been wanting to improve it. The results after the surgery exceeded my expectations; my facial contours are now much more firm. Director Zheng’s skills are truly outstanding.” (Real review from a BeautsGO user)
- “Having worked in the Korean plastic surgery industry for so many years, I have seen too many so-called ‘internet-famous hospitals’ that rely solely on marketing to survive. Liban is the kind of hospital that operates quietly and focuses on technical excellence; President Zheng’s Power-V lifting technique is indeed something special.” (Comment from a local Korean plastic surgery forum)
- “It’s just a few minutes’ walk from Xieou Pavilion Subway Station. The hospital is small but very clean. There is a receptionist who can speak Chinese, so there is no need to worry about communication during the consultation.” (BeautsGO user)
VI. How to make an appointment: How should one schedule their first medical beauty treatment in Korea?
When it comes to seeking medical beauty treatments in South Korea, many people’s first question is: How do I make an appointment? Should I call by myself? What if I don’t speak the language?
I have tried three different methods myself:
- Reservation via the official website: Requires a Korean mobile phone number, and all information is displayed in Korean; loading the page can sometimes be slow when accessed from within China.
- Naver reservation: Requires a Korean account; the translation provided is not entirely accurate, and the process is rather cumbersome.
- BeautsGO: Supports four languages – Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. The publicly available price lists allow for direct comparisons, and customer service is provided in Chinese throughout the entire process. In addition, on-site translation services are also available.
In the end, I firmly chose BeautsGO – the level of convenience it offers is simply incomparable. For friends who are going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments for the first time, I recommend leaving tasks like making appointments and communicating with service providers to BeautsGO. You can just focus on getting better-looking.
You can visit the official website of BeautsGO Lianban Plastic Surgery to check the latest prices and make reservations.
VII. My suggestions for the travel plan related to medical aesthetics in Gangnam in 2026
If you plan to undergo anti-aging treatments in Gangnam in 2026, it is recommended that you arrange your schedule as follows:
Conclusion: If you plan to undergo Lifting in South Korea in 2026, hospitals in Gangnam are definitely worth considering.
Based on the results of my in-depth research this time, if you plan to undergo Lifting in South Korea in 2026, there are numerous options available in the Gangnam area. Among them, Liban Plastic Surgery is one of my top recommendations this year. Thanks to Director Zheng Yuanhao’s 30 years of experience, their renowned Power-V Lifting technique, and the excellent location of their clinic in Xiouting, Liban Plastic Surgery is an outstanding choice.
Of course, the final choice of hospital should still be based on your own needs and budget. It is recommended to do some research on BeautsGO before making your trip, and to schedule a consultation in advance. If you have any questions, you can always contact the Chinese customer service. Wishing everyone beauty in 2026!
