Our Doctors
의료진 소개Two doctors, one standard: a board-certified plastic surgeon and former professor at Seoul National University College of Medicine, and an aesthetic physician focused on the non-surgical face.
Refine what is already yours
Good work should not announce itself.
At SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, a good result begins with safety and with an understanding of how a face holds together. Bone, muscle, fat and skin each age and move in their own way. A plan that ignores one of them tends to look wrong in a way people notice without being able to say why.
We do not pursue large changes. The aim is a face that still reads as yours, with its balance restored and its expression intact, so that the work is felt rather than seen.
Three ideas guide every plan. Anatomy, because planning starts from tissue structure. Precision, because a few millimeters change an impression. Restraint, because knowing what not to change is a skill in its own right.
Dr. Euicheol Jeong, MD, PhD
Medical Director. Board-certified plastic surgeon.
Dr. Euicheol Jeong, MD, PhD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial rejuvenation and aesthetic plastic surgery. He served as a professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at Seoul National University College of Medicine from 2011 to 2021, and was a visiting scholar at Stanford University Medical Center in 2014 and 2019.
That international academic background shapes how he works. Academic surgery instills a respect for evidence and for the anatomy beneath the skin, and that discipline carries into every plan he draws up.
He believes plastic surgery should never look artificial. Each surgical plan is tailored to enhance what is naturally there while preserving the identity of the face, and he carries out every consultation and every procedure himself.
Dr. Jeong currently serves as Executive Director of the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons (KAPS) and is an International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

How Dr. Jeong plans a procedure
A consultation begins with examination, not with the name of a procedure.
Dr. Jeong looks at how the tissues sit, how they move when you speak and smile, and what has actually changed over time. Only then does he talk about what might be done.
He explains what he would recommend, what he would advise against and what a realistic outcome looks like. In our experience, the most valuable part of a consultation is often the moment a procedure is taken off the table.
The same surgeon then carries the plan through surgery and follow-up. There is no hand-off between the person who planned the work and the person who performs it.
“Plastic surgery should never look artificial. Every plan I make is designed to enhance what is naturally there while preserving the identity of the face.”

Dr. Eun-Taek Lee
Aesthetic physician. Facial contouring and regenerative aesthetics.
Dr. Eun-Taek Lee is an aesthetic physician specializing in facial contouring and non-surgical facial rejuvenation. His work centers on fat grafting, thread lifting, dermal fillers and regenerative aesthetic medicine.
His approach is to restore youthful balance rather than to create something new. Each treatment is planned around the individual face, with the aim of refining contour and improving harmony while keeping expression natural.
He brings extensive clinical experience in facial contouring and serves as a Board Member of the International Petit Medical Society. Treatment planning is one to one: the doctor who assesses you is the doctor who treats you.
