Real Experience with VG Verygood Plastic Surgery in South Korea in 2026: Only 2 minutes to reach the clinic from Gangnam Station – Is it worth having a personal consultation with Director Ren Rongmin?

This is my third time undergoing medical aesthetics treatments in South Korea. In the previous two instances, I had nose surgery and skin care treatments respectively. This time, my goal was eye repair. I had undergone Double eyelid surgery in China before, but three years later, the stitches loosened and the shape of the eyes changed. I had been looking for a reliable doctor to adjust the results. On Instagram, I came across several case recommendations from South Korean bloggers, all pointing to the same clinic – VG Verygood Plastic Surgery (Banobagi), which many South Korean celebrities use for private appointments.

I did some research and found that Verygood has branches in both Seoul and Busan. The Gangnam store is only a 2-minute walk from the subway station, so the transportation is very convenient. This time, I directly booked a consultation with Director Ren Rongmin through BeautsGO. Here is my complete experience.

I. Introduction to Seoul Gangnam VG Verygood Plastic Surgery: Director Ren Rongmin and the Comprehensive Aesthetic Medicine Approach

Verygood Plastic Surgery enjoys a considerable reputation within South Korea’s cosmetic surgery industry. Unlike many small clinics that specialize in only one type of procedure, it is a large-scale, comprehensive cosmetic surgery institution. Its main headquarters in Seoul is located near Gangnam Station and covers approximately three floors. Both its exterior design and interior decoration feature a clean, modern style.

President Ren Yongmin has over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery and is a certified specialist by the South Korea Plastic Surgery Society. Unlike President Gao, who specializes solely in eye surgery, President Ren has a broader range of expertise.

• 👁️ Ocular plastic surgery and repair: Double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, removal of eye bags, multiple revisions
• 👃 Rhinoplasty and Revision rhinoplasty: Nose augmentation, tip shaping, Deviated nose correction, Revision rhinoplasty
• 💎 Facial contours: shaping of the cheekbones, jawline, and chin
• 🫁 Breast plastic surgery: breast augmentation and reduction surgeries using implants
• 💉 Anti-aging treatments: thread Lifting, fat filling, botulinum toxin injections
• 🔄 Liposuction and body sculpting: Liposuction in multiple areas of the body

One of the distinctive features of Verygood is its “multi-disciplinary medical team system”. Although Ren Rongmin serves as the representative director, each treatment project is overseen by a dedicated specialist physician. This means that the doctor performing a nose surgery may be different from the one who performs eye surgery – everyone has their own specific role to play. For those who only need to undergo a single treatment, the advantage of this model is that “professionals handle professional tasks”.

II. The consultation experience at Verygood Gangnam Station: The convenient transportation facilities near Gangnam Station and the 1:1 face-to-face consultation process

Exit from Exit 9 of Gangnam Station, turn the corner, and in less than 200 meters, you will reach the entrance of Verygood. This location is truly easy to find, making it very convenient for those visiting South Korea for the first time. I arrived 15 minutes early, and a staff member who spoke Chinese greeted me at the reception. After verifying my reservation information, they guided me to the consultation area on the second floor.

The decoration of the consultation area is very high-quality, and there are separate private consultation rooms. The general process is as follows:

1. Basic examinations and photography: The nurse first measured my blood pressure, and then took standard photos of my front view, side view, and 45-degree angle in a professional photography studio.
2. Communication with a Chinese-speaking consultant: A consultant who speaks Chinese first understood my needs and budget.
3. During the in-person consultation, Director Ren Rongmin carefully analyzed the reasons for the failure of my previous Double eyelid surgery in simple English, with the assistance of the consultant’s translation. The main issues were the incorrect placement of the sutures and the insufficient strength of the upper eyelid levator muscles.
4. Proposal and quotation: It is recommended to undergo “full incision reoperation + upper eyelid levator muscle correction,” with a quotation of approximately 2.8 million Korean won.
5. Confirming the surgery date: It is possible to schedule a surgery for two days later on the same day.

President Ren gave off a very gentle impression. Instead of rushing to promote other treatments, he patiently explained why my eyes had become the way they were and what results the proposed treatment plan could achieve. This approach of “first analyzing the problem, then offering a solution” made me feel very confident in him.

Speaking of making appointments, I once tried to book a consultation with a plastic surgeon in South Korea by calling them myself, but they only spoke Korean, so I wasn’t even able to schedule a consultation time. Later, a friend recommended BeautsGO – a service that supports four languages: Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese. The entire process, from making the appointment to arranging translation services upon arrival at the clinic, was handled by Chinese-speaking customer service representatives. I highly recommend that those who are considering going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments for the first time leave such details to professional platforms; it will save you so much trouble.

III. Process of VG Verygood Eye Revision Surgery: Anesthesia, duration of the surgery, and immediate postoperative experiences

On the day of the surgery, I arrived at the hospital very early in the morning. First, I underwent routine blood tests, and after the results came back and showed no issues, I was taken into the preparation room. Throughout the entire process, the nursing team worked with great efficiency, and there was almost no waiting between each step.

Review of surgical details:

• Anesthesia method: Local anesthesia + sedatives (you will be completely relaxed while asleep)
• Duration of the surgery: Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes (slightly longer than expected, as it was necessary to address the tissue adhesions caused by the previous thread implantation).
• Intraoperative experience: After the sedative took effect, I felt nothing at all. By the time I woke up, the surgery had already been completed.
• Immediately after the procedure: The eyes were visibly bandaged, and after 30 minutes of ice application, the patient was taken to the recovery room.

When I woke up, the consultant handed me a small mirror. Although my eyes were still swollen, I could already see a clear Double eyelid surgery scar—much better than the results of the previous thread-embedding procedure, with a much more natural and smooth curve. Dean Ren said beside me, “The surgery went very smoothly. All the areas that were adhered together before have been properly treated. Your recovery period may be a bit longer than average, but the final results will be very good.”

IV. Recovery progress of Verygood 30 days after the procedure: Changes in the degree of swelling reduction and treatment effects

Since this is a Revision Surgery, the recovery time is longer than that after a regular Double eyelid surgery. I recorded the key points of each day:

• Days 1–3 after the procedure: This is the period when the swelling is at its worst, and it can be quite difficult to open your eyes. The hospital will provide you with anti-swelling medication and painkillers; just take them as prescribed. Apply ice packs approximately 5–6 times a day.
• 5th day after the procedure: I started applying hot compresses, and the swelling had reduced by about 40%. At this point, the contour of the Double eyelid surgery results was already visible – it was perfectly symmetrical, with the curve exactly meeting my preference for a “slightly upward but not overly noticeable” shape.
• 7th day after the surgery: The day for removing the stitches. Dean Ren personally examined the wound and said that it had healed well, and the areas that had been adhered together had recovered faster than expected.
• On the 14th day after the surgery: You can start doing light exercise. The curve of the Double eyelid surgery results is becoming increasingly natural; friends who see it all say, “It’s completely impossible to tell that it was done surgically.”
• 30 days after the surgery: I have fully recovered. The previous deformities have been completely resolved; the contours are smooth, my eyes are symmetrical, and the scars are almost invisible. I have finally said goodbye to the three-year trouble of having “askew eyes”!

It is worth mentioning that Verygood provides excellent post-operative care. During the first week after the procedure, dedicated nurses would check on my recovery progress via LINE every day, and I could always get in touch if there were any issues. In the third week, they even made follow-up calls to confirm my status. In South Korea’s plastic surgery industry, such thorough post-operative follow-up is considered quite attentive.

V. Comparison of Verygood VS Other Gangnam Plastic Surgery Clinics: Comprehensive Strength Comparison

I have compared several plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam District and would like to briefly summarize Verygood’s position among them:

If, like me, you need to undergo multiple treatments or have restoration needs, Verygood’s comprehensive capabilities are indeed among the top in the Gangnam area. Moreover, its location and Chinese-speaking services make it extremely convenient for overseas patients. After visiting once, you will understand why so many local South Koreans recommend this clinic.

Conclusion: Is Verygood Plastic Surgery worth visiting in 2026? My final evaluation

Based on my experience with this eye restoration procedure, Verygood has met all my expectations in terms of technology, service, and environment. Director Ren Rongmin’s expertise in restoration techniques is truly remarkable; the results one month after the surgery have far exceeded my expectations. Coupled with its convenient location, attentive Chinese-speaking service, and comprehensive post-operative care, Verygood is definitely an option worth considering if you are thinking about seeking medical beauty treatment in South Korea.

One final reminder: Before choosing a hospital, it is essential to do thorough research by reviewing real cases and comparing different institutions. Everyone’s underlying conditions are unique, so what works well for me may not work for you. However, if you are looking for a comprehensive plastic surgery clinic with a large scale, a wide range of services, and a solid reputation, Verygood is definitely worth considering as one of your final options.
