Comprehensive Review of PLEASURESEOUL Plastic Surgery in Gangnam | In-depth Analysis of Director Jiang Zhenxu’s Anti-aging Techniques and Dr. Sun Yuxi’s Eyelid Plastic Surgery Procedures – Guide to Traveling to South Korea in 2026

I. Why are there so many plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam? Why did I choose PLEASURESEOUL?

When considering plastic surgery in South Korea, there are two main things to avoid: choosing the wrong hospital or the wrong doctor. There are countless plastic surgery clinics in the Gangnam area; alone on Gangnam-daero, there are dozens of them. So how do you choose one?

I chose PLEASURESEOUL Plastic Surgery for a very simple reason: I didn’t come across it by chance, but rather it was recommended to me by a friend who has a very good reputation in South Korea. This friend has lived in Seoul for 8 years, and she said, “The truly excellent plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam District aren’t those that advertise the most aggressively, but rather those that South Koreans themselves would choose to go to.”

PLEASURESEOUL is exactly this type of service: it doesn’t spend huge amounts of money on advertising on major portal websites, but instead receives quite positive reviews from local South Korean communities and on Naver. It specializes in three core areas: eye plastic surgery, Revision rhinoplasty, and facial anti-aging Lifting treatments. Rather than being a general-purpose medical center that claims to offer everything, it focuses its resources on the areas in which it excels the most.

This was also the key reason why I ultimately chose it: rather than choosing someone who knows everything, it’s better to pick someone who excels in one or two specific areas.

II. Essential Information for Travelers: Basic Details about PLEASURESEOUL Plastic Surgery

Tips for arriving at the clinic: Exit from Exit 3 of Nonhyeon Station, then walk south along Gangnam-daero for approximately 300 meters. Once you see the “Urban Hive” building (a modern-style glass structure), head directly to the 5th floor. There are clear signs at the entrance of the building, so it’s easy to find. It is recommended to arrive 10 minutes in advance, as you will need to fill out a consultation form upon arrival (available in both Chinese and English).

III. In-depth Analysis by the Dean: Who are Dr. Jiang Zhenxu and Dr. Sun Yuxi?

3.1 Dean Jiang Zhenxu – The “Specialized and Expert” Leader in the Field of Anti-aging Lifting

Director Jiang Zhenxu is one of the core physicians at PLEASURESEOUL and also the doctor in the field of anti-aging that I personally recommend the most.

Background Overview:

• With many years of clinical experience, I have long focused on three main areas: skin care, Lifting for wrinkle reduction, and anti-aging treatments to enhance skin tone and elasticity.
• He is not a general practitioner; his technical expertise is very focused: photodynamic anti-aging + minimally invasive anti-aging treatments.
• Proficient in using devices such as ultrasound and RF radiofrequency for facial rejuvenation treatments, while also maintaining extremely precise control over the injection layers and dosages.
• They have a particularly in-depth understanding of regenerative injectables like Rejuran and are able to customize the injection plan according to each individual’s skin condition.

Why is it better to choose him for anti-aging treatments than other options?

In many cosmetic surgery procedures, less experienced doctors perform the operations, and the settings of the equipment as well as the depth of injections may not be precise enough, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes or even side effects. What sets President Jiang apart is his approach: his philosophy focuses on “optimizing and maintaining” rather than “changing” – he aims for a natural result where “no one can tell you what treatment you’ve had, but you can clearly see that your appearance has improved significantly.”

Furthermore, his consultation process is extremely detailed. He doesn’t immediately recommend the most expensive package; instead, he first analyzes your skin issues, uses testing equipment such as Visia to obtain relevant data, and then recommends a suitable treatment plan based on your budget and recovery time. This approach of “letting the client make their own decisions” is quite rare in South Korea’s plastic surgery industry.

3.2 Sun Yuxi, the representative dean of the institute — a leading expert in the field of eye plastic surgery

President Sun Yuxi is PLEASURESEOUL.’s leading specialist in eye plastic surgery. Judging from the real case studies shared on Weibo, he has extensive experience in procedures such as Double eyelid surgery with sutures, incisional Double eyelid surgery, muscle lifting, and canthoplasty.

Technical Features:

• The design style is more natural, avoiding the look of overly artificial European-style double eyelids.
• Emphasizing both the dynamic beauty when the eyes are open and the static beauty when they are closed – many cases of Double eyelid surgery result in good looks when the eyes are open, but obvious scars remain when the eyes are closed. Director Sun has done an excellent job in controlling this aspect.
• Rich experience in muscle lifting surgeries: Many patients seeking cosmetic treatments actually face not just the issue of single eyelids but rather weakness in the upper eyelid muscles, which causes their eyes to appear smaller. Dr. Sun will first identify the root cause of the problem before devising a targeted treatment plan.

According to customer feedback on Weibo, many people who have undergone these procedures experience a short recovery period and natural results, with no visible signs of the surgery even after applying makeup.

IV. Special Services and Prices: What makes a visit to PLEASURESEOUL particularly worthwhile?

The prices offered by PLEASURESEOUL are considered above average in the Gangnam area. They are not the cheapest, but certainly not exploitative. The following prices are based on official data from the hospitals partnered with the BeautsGO platform (as of May 2026), and are listed in Korean won:

※ The above prices are reference figures for May 2026; the final amount will be determined based on the hospital’s quotation after a face-to-face consultation. The RMB amounts have been estimated using an exchange rate of 1:190; the actual amount will be subject to the prevailing exchange rate on the day of payment.

4.1 Rejuran – The “skin regeneration treatment” that South Koreans are all using

In South Korea, Rejuran is known as the “anti-aging injection.” Its key ingredient is polynucleotides (PN), which are derived from salmon DNA and are highly compatible with human tissues. The mechanism of action is not simply filling gaps but rather activating the skin’s natural repair and regeneration abilities – by stimulating the proliferation of fibroblast cells and promoting the production of new Collagen and elastin.

The effects include Reduction surgery of Pores, fading of fine lines, Lifting of skin elasticity, and improvement of uneven skin tone. It is generally recommended to follow a treatment plan, with 3 sessions constituting a complete course, spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Director Jiang is extremely precise in controlling the injection depth when using Rejuran, ensuring that no unevenness occurs after the injections.

4.2 Double eyelid surgery + levator muscle repair – Not all Double eyelid surgeries are the same

Many people think that Double eyelid surgery simply involves making a cut, but in fact, the technical requirements vary greatly. President Sun’s approach focuses on two key aspects:

• Tendon adjustment: Weakness of the upper eyelid tendon is the real reason why many people’s eyes appear small. Dr. Sun will first conduct a functional assessment of the tendon. If Lifting is necessary, the tendon will be corrected during the Double eyelid surgery, so that the eyes not only become Double eyelid but also appear larger.
• Suitable for both open and closed eyes: In many cases, after Double eyelid surgery, the eyes look good when open, but obvious “surgical scars” can be seen when the eyes are closed. Director Sun pays special attention to ensuring a natural appearance even when the eyes are closed, in order to minimize the visibility of scars.

4.3 Revision rhinoplasty – South Korea’s advanced rhinoplasty techniques

PLEASURESEOUL’s Revision rhinoplasty service is designed for those who have previously undergone nose surgery but are dissatisfied with the results, or who have encountered issues with their implants. The hospital offers two different material options:

• Autologous cartilage: Cartilage can be harvested from the nasal septum, ears, or ribs. The advantages are zero risk of rejection or infection; however, the areas from which the cartilage is taken require an additional recovery period.
• Allogeneic dermis: This option is suitable for those with thin skin on the nose bridge or who have experienced an allergic reaction to Silicone implants as a alternative solution.

The design focuses on creating a smooth transition from the bridge of the nose to the tip, avoiding unnatural shapes such as a “stick-like nose” or a “pig nose”.

V. Real in-person consultation experience: The medical treatment experiences of 3 beauty seekers at PLEASURESEOUL

“What worried me the most before going was the language barrier, since I didn’t know a single word of Korean. But when I arrived at the clinic, I found that the receptionist spoke Chinese even more fluently than I did, which immediately put my mind at ease. During the consultation, Director Sun used a tablet computer to show me simulation images after the Double eyelid surgery, allowing me to see exactly what the results would look like. What touched me the most was that he didn’t rush me into making a decision; instead, he said, ‘You can go back and think about it for a couple of days. Once you’re sure, then we can schedule the surgery.’ Such a patient and understanding attitude is really rare in plastic surgery clinics.”

On the day of the s

urgery, I received local anesthesia and remained conscious throughout the procedure, but I didn’t feel any pain. On the third day after the surgery, the swelling was quite noticeable, but by the seventh day, when the stitches were removed, the swelling had subsided significantly. One month later, the effects had almost completely faded, and now, half a year later, there is no trace of the surgery at all

when I close my eyes. My friends all think I was born with Double eyelid surgery.

“I studied in South Korea and previously had rhinoplasty at a popular online hospital. However, half a year later, my nose started to turn red and become translucent, which scared me greatly. Later, when I searched for Revision rhinoplasty on Naver, I saw many South Koreans recommending PLEASURESEOUL, so I made an app

ointment with Director Jiang.

During the consultation, Director Jiang immediately said, ‘The implant is placed too close to the skin; it needs to be removed and replaced.’ He offered two options: either reinsert the implant using a thinner material or use allogeneic dermis. The latter option was safer but more expensive. I chose allogeneic dermis, and the surgery took nearly three hours.

On t

he 14th day after the surgery, when the stitches were removed, I finally felt that my nose no longer had that strange ‘something inside’ sensation. Now, four months have passed, and the results are very natural. The problem of the uneven nose shape that I was worried about has also been completely resolved. I truly recommend PLEASUR

ESEOUL to any sisters who have also had negative experiences with previous surgeries.”

“I’m approaching 30, and the signs of skin laxity on my face are becoming increasingly noticeable. After comparing several anti-aging clinics in Gangnam on BeautsGO, I finally chose PLEASURESEOUL because Director Jiang’s approach convinced me. Instead of immediately recommending HIFU, he first used the Visia device to analyze my skin data and suggested, ‘Given your current condition, it would be better to start with a course of Rejuran to improve the foundation of your skin before considering a full-face Lifting a month later.’

During

my first treatment with Rejuran, I was a bit nervous, but the procedure itself was quick—just about 20 minutes for the entire face. The area was numbed, so it didn’t hurt much. There was some redness on the day of the treatment, but it disappeared by the next day. What surprised me the most was the results two weeks later: my Pores had visibly become smaller, my skin felt firm and elastic, and my makeup loo

ked much better.

A month later, I went for the full-face Lifting. Director Jiang adjusted the energy settings based on the shape of my jawline and the position of my Apple Zone. Three months have passed now, and my jawline has become much more defined; my Nasolabial Fold Correction has also improved significantly. A colleague even asked if I had lost weight recently (when in fact, my weight hasn’t changed at all). This kind of result—where people can tell my skin look

s better without knowing what treatment I’ve had—is exactly what I wanted.

VI. Nearby Attractions: What to do after your medical consultation?

PLEASURESEOUL is located in the heart of Gangnam Avenue, and there are many places worth visiting within walking distance. A medical beauty treatment can usually be completed in half a day, so you can arrange the remaining time as follows:

6.1 ☕ Coffee Shop Recommendation: Cafe Onion (just 3 minutes’ walk away)

One of the most popular industrial-style cafes in South Korea, the Gangnam branch is located near PLEASURESEOUL. I highly recommend their signature “Snow Mountain Pandoro” bread ($95,500) – with a crispy crust and soft interior – paired with an iced Americano ($95,000); it’s the perfect combination for resting after a procedure. The cafe’s industrial-style decor made of concrete is also excellent for taking photos.

6.2 🍽️ Food Recommendations: Sinnonhyeon Barbeque Street (5 minutes walk)

Near the ANEW Sinnonhyeon station, there is a barbecue street frequented by local South Koreans, where the prices are at least 30% lower than those in restaurants in Myeongdong and Hongdae. I recommend “Mapo Galmaegi” – the pork sausages there cost around ₩15,000 to ₩20,000 per person, and both the pork belly and the sausages are truly authentic. If you can’t eat spicy food after the procedure, you could try “Seolrangtang” (a nourishing soup) for ₩9,000; it’s light and good for recovery.

6.3 🛍️ Shopping Recommendations: Gangnam Station Underground Mall (10-minute walk)

The underground shopping street at Gangnam Station is a favorite spot among local young people. It offers a wide range of clothing, accessories, and cosmetics at much lower prices than those in Myeongdong. Buying South Korean brand skincare products such as Dr.Jart+ and COSRX is particularly cost-effective, and some stores even offer direct tax refunds.

VII. Comparison of booking methods: Why is it recommended to use BeautsGO to book services at PLEASURESEOUL?

VIII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Must-read before visiting PLEASURESEOUL.

Q1: Is it possible to communicate without knowing Korean?

No problem at all. PLEASURESEOUL has a full-time Chinese-speaking manager who can assist with communication in both during the consultation and after the procedure. The hospital also provides consultation forms and post-treatment instructions in Chinese, so there is no need to hire an additional translator. Additionally, when making a reservation through BeautsGO, you can also opt for translation services to accompany you during the visit.

Q2: How much in advance should I make a reservation?

It is recommended to make an appointment at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially if you wish to see Director Jiang or Director Sun in person. In South Korea, it is basically necessary to make an appointment for plastic surgery procedures; walking in without an appointment may result in a long wait or the inability to schedule the surgery on the same day. If you make an appointment through BeautsGO, you will generally receive a confirmation reply in Chinese within 10 minutes.

Q3: How much budget should be allocated approximately?

The costs vary depending on the procedures you choose: Double eyelid surgery + Lifting costs approximately ¥9.2 million (just over 10,000 RMB), full-face Lifting costs around ¥9.28 million (15,000 RMB), and Revision rhinoplasty costs approximately ¥9.55 million (29,000 RMB). It is recommended to set aside an additional 10–15% of your budget for post-operative care products and any unexpected minor expenses. Payment methods include cash, South Korean credit cards, and certain international credit cards; please confirm these details before your trip.

Q4: How soon after the procedure can I wear makeup or resume normal activities?

Double eyelid surgery: You can apply light makeup 3–5 days after the stitches are removed, but avoid the incision area. For full-face Lifting and Rejuran treatments, you can resume normal activities on the same day; however, it is recommended not to wear makeup within 24 hours. For Revision rhinoplasty, you must wait until the nasal implants are removed (usually 7–14 days), and you should not wear makeup during this period. Additionally, it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise and saunas for at least 1 month after the procedure.

Q5: What should I do if I’m not satisfied with the results? How are repairs and after-sales services handled?

PLEASURESEOUL offers post-operative follow-up services. Generally speaking, it takes 3 to 6 months for the final results of plastic surgery to stabilize completely. If there are indeed any issues that require adjustment, the hospital will provide a remedial plan based on the specific circumstances. If you made your appointment through BeautsGO, the platform will also assist you in communicating with the hospital. This is precisely why it is recommended to make appointments through this platform – it provides an extra layer of assurance and ensures smoother communication across international borders.
