AVA Plastic Surgery Хейлопластика

AVA Plastic Surgery is a private aesthetic clinic in the Seocho-gu district of Seoul. It specializes in facial plastic surgery and anti-aging treatments. The clinic occupies a single building near Sinsa Station.

Safety Standards and Academic Achievements

The clinic follows a 1:1 care model led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Seungsoo Kim. Under this single-surgeon system, one specialist manages the entire process. Dr. Kim personally handles the consultation, surgical design, operation, and post-operative reviews.

Every operation runs under a strict Zero Ghost Surgery policy. This means the next patient's schedule never begins until the current surgery is finished. For transparency, the clinic follows Medical Act §22 and keeps records for 10 years.

Dr. Seungsoo Kim holds Medical License No. 103360 and Specialist Certificate No. 2344. He has published six papers in international journals. His research also earned the Outstanding Paper Award from the Korean Burn Society Academic Conference.

Facial Rejuvenation and Lifting

The clinic moves tissue back to its natural anatomical position instead of simply tightening the skin. Its signature procedure is the Dual-Deep Plane Facelift. This technique works in two layers: within the fat under the skin and beneath the SMAS layer.

Surgeons first release the retaining ligaments, then lift and secure the SMAS flap. After that, they reposition the skin separately. This reduces tension along the incision line, so it heals more easily.

International patients planning a deep-plane facelift usually need to stay in Seoul for 11 to 14 days. The recovery plan includes early checks, and stitches come out on the tenth day after surgery.

Specialized Eye and Nose Procedures

The surgical team offers several options for the eyelids and the area around the eyes:

• Natural Adhesion and Incision Method double eyelid surgery
• Ptosis correction to improve drooping eyelids
• Lower blepharoplasty and eye bag repositioning
• Revision eye surgery for complex cases

Rhinoplasty here focuses on reconstruction and a stable nasal structure. For alar reduction, the clinic sorts nose shapes into four types. Surgeons tailor incision placement to each type, so visible scarring stays minimal. For the nasal tip, the team uses autologous cartilage – the patient's own tissue – which gives a natural result.

Advanced Aesthetic Technology

The clinic uses several energy-based devices for non-surgical lifting and skin improvement. Each one targets a different tissue depth to improve elasticity without surgery:

• Ultherapy Prime: Uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver energy to the SMAS layer.
• Thermage and Onda: Systems for skin tightening and contouring.
• Potenza: A radiofrequency microneedling device that improves skin texture.

A dedicated skin program includes biostimulators and boosters such as Rejuran, Juvelook, and Exosome treatments. All injectables follow standard anatomical doses and use officially certified products.

AVA Plastic Surgery partners with the Yeon & Yeon agency to support international visitors. The agency helps with paperwork and trip planning. Interpreters are available in several languages:
