I. What is the background of Sone Plastic Surgery?
Sone Plastic Surgery (에스원성형외과) was established around 2013 and is located on the 4th floor of the Jeongjin Building, at 576-5 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, just about a 10-minute walk from Sinsa Station on Line 3 of the subway. Unlike the ostentatious “internet-famous clinics” found in Gangnam-gu, Sone focuses on a more low-key approach, relying not on massive social media marketing but instead on the word-of-mouth reputation for its post-operative results and the expertise of its doctors. The hospital incorporates an interdisciplinary collaboration model between plastic surgery and otolaryngology, and has established itself as a leader in the fields of eye plastic surgery and reconstruction.

V. Real Customer Reviews
💬 Miss L from Taiwan (28 years old, Double eyelid surgery): “I had Double eyelid surgery in China two years ago, but a small scar remained at the inner corner of my eye. It’s usually invisible, but it becomes visible when I laugh. I consulted several clinics in Gangnam, but only Dr. Lu clearly told me that ‘the scar can be improved, but it won’t disappear completely.’ This honest approach actually made me feel more at ease. Three months after the surgery, the scar is almost invisible – much better than I expected.”
💬 Miss K from Hong Kong (32 years old, Double eyelid surgery + Rhinoplasty): “I had the procedure done at another hospital before, but the lines of my right Double eyelid surgery didn’t look natural. Director Kim Tae-hyun at SONE helped me adjust the results, and after 1 month, it looked completely natural. I also had rhinoplasty at the same time, and the overall harmony of my face improved significantly; it’s impossible to tell that I’ve had any surgery.”
💬 Miss W from Shanghai (26 years old, facial contour treatment): “Director Kim In-sang’s minimally invasive Osteotomy technique is truly remarkable. The swelling was already much less severe on the second day after the surgery, and I felt confident enough to go out one week later. Throughout the entire process, a Chinese translator was present to ensure smooth communication. The cost is also much lower compared to similar hospitals in China, making it an excellent value for money.”
