Otherwise, Incheon airport has free wifi that allows you to immediately contact us. We will inform you what you need to prepare and what to avoid prior to having surgery. Stay in touch with us.
Arrival
Our clinic is located in Jeju, South Korea, but most international flights arrive at Incheon airport.

Welcome to
VIP Plastic Surgery Korea
Consultation with Your Doctor
Dr.Myung Ju Lee will welcome you and start the conversation by asking, “What treatments or surgeries are you interested in? What is your major concern?” To increase the quality of your consultation with the Dr.Lee, it is always great to prepare some questions or thoughts to discuss beforehand. After the doctor’s consultation, you will have an opportunity to meet our manager and go over all the questions you have on your mind. She will explain everything step-by-step for you as many customers can be new and unfamiliar with plastic surgery. Therefore, you will have a clear understanding of what to expect.
Checklist for the doctor’s consultation
- Tell Dr.Lee about your main concern and desire.
- Thoroughly go over your previous medical history and health condition.
- Discuss the shape and look you would like to achieve from the surgery.
- Discuss what are possible and what are not possible to achieve.
- Ask Dr.Lee how he will perform your surgery.
- Ask about potential side effects and precautions after the surgery.
- Ask about the downtime and recovery phase.
- Go over your questions with him and make sure you and Dr.Lee are on same page.
- Once you feel confident and comfortable with the surgery and Dr.Lee, end your consultation with him.
Q&A
Prior to undergoing your plastic surgeries, you may have many questions and concerns. Do not hesitate to ask for information or an explanation as it is important to discuss beforehand. Here are some common questions we receive:
- How long does it take to recover from the surgeries?
- How long does the surgery take?
- Will I be in pain after the surgeries?
- Am I able to walk around?
- Since I came here by myself, can I stay overnight after the surgeries?
- Although the doctor explained it before, could you go over how he will perform the surgeries?
Getting Ready for the Surgeries
There are several body examinations to perform before your surgeries. They include a blood test, urine test, chest X-ray and others. To get the test result you will need a few extra days before the surgery, so please, plan accordingly. But, you can also bring health check results from your country in English. In that case there will be no need to wait for the result to get ready.
Operation
“Plastic surgery is an art in the field of medical science.” – Dr. Myung Ju Lee
Post-operative Recovery
From the beginning to the end of your surgeries, our board certified anesthesiologist will stay with you and ensure your health. After surgeries, you will stay in our recovery room until you are stabilized. After, you will be discharged to your accommodation upstair.
Are you worried about pain?
At our clinic, we provide automatic painkiller IV kit that solves your concern. This small IV kit drips down the painkiller little by little to your body for 48 hours continuously.
Post-operative Service
VIP Plastic Surgery does not solely perform surgeries and let you leave. We provide extensive post-care services everyday to maximize your result and recovery. We understand that you need to have bruising and swelling resolved before returning to your home country. For your convenience, we provide shampoo service, skin care treatments, and dressing treatment. After the surgery, you will see our doctors everyday to go over your condition. During the dressing time, your doctor will clean the surgical area for the highest sterility. This is the key to the success in plastic surgery. Although it is rare, if there are any potential side effects, the doctor will need to immediately address the problem. If the treatment is delayed, there may be additional treatments you would need to go through. Therefore, post-operative treatment is extremely important.
VIP Aesthetics
To fulfill your post-operative care VIP clinic has all the needed equipment and procedures. At the VIP Aesthetics, we provide anti-swelling treatment everyday until you go back to your country.
Furthermore, laser and non-surgical treatments such as Botox and Filler injection can also be performed for you. If you are looking for detailed treatments to improve your beauty, these non-surgical procedures will solve your concerns in the most detailed manner.
Heading Back to Your Accommodations
Once you are stabilized, you are now ready to get discharged to your accommodations. VIP Plastic Surgery provides accommodation for all patients who book their surgery. Accommodation is located in the same building right upstair, and there is no need for you to travel for your check-up appointments.
Stay at VIP’s Accommodations
VIP’s accommodations are run by our clinic to cover your stay during the recovery phase. Our accommodations include – wifi, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, heater, bed, chair, kitchen, mineral water tank, microwave, bathroom, and air filter.
*The room layout is subject to change depending on the room.
Experience Jeju
Jeju has a lot of great places to visit: parks, beaches, forests and many more. Just choose according to your preferences. You can ask our staff for recommendations on what places are great to visit.
Shopping in Jeju
While Jeju might not be as many shopping malls and centers as Seoul, just 10 mins away from the clinic you can find a great place – Shilla & Lotte Duty Free department store. There are also a lot of small shops around the area.
Korean Food
Korean food is what all the meat lovers are looking for. Korean BBQ, Chicken rice stew, and Bulgogi are foods that you must try in Korea during your stay. Sleep well, walk well, and eat well for your recovery.
Ready for a new start – Good bye.
On your last day, our driver will pick you up from the clinic and drop you off at the Jeju International airport. It is always a bittersweet moment to say ‘Goodbye’ to our patients who have been staying with us. We thank our patients for coming all the way to Korea with the trust they have given us. Apart from being a patient and clinic staff, it is amazing to build a strong relationship with our patients as friends.
Get your tax refund at the airport.
The tax refund process is relatively easy as there are always airport staff who are willing to help you out. Make sure you arrive with sufficient time as there may be crowds at the airport depending on the time.
See you again!
