About the clinic

KOWON Plastic Surgery is a rhinoplasty-focused clinic on the 2nd floor of the KBL Building, right by Exit 1 of Sinsa Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kim Hyung-taek has focused on nose surgery alone since 2002 and personally handles every step: consultation, surgery, treatment and aftercare.

Signature procedures include RIBFIT™, an autologous implant made from the patient's own rib cartilage, finely diced and shaped to fit the nose; implant-free rhinoplasty; drooping tip correction that treats the muscle pulling the tip down when smiling; J-Curl rhinoplasty correcting the nasolabial angle; and nose thread removal to resolve thread-lift complications. The clinic also treats low, hump, short, long, bulbous, deviated and wide noses, alar reduction and revision rhinoplasty.

Operations are limited to two a day, and the next case begins only after the previous patient has recovered. The operating room has CCTV, and the clinic keeps chemical, high-pressure steam and EO gas sterilisation, real-time ECG and oxygen saturation monitoring during surgery, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), an AED and oxygen support, with regular emergency drills. The clinic does not recommend surgery that is not needed.

Clinic Strengths

  • One Surgeon, Start to Finish

    Consultation, surgery, treatment and aftercare are all handled by Dr. Kim Hyung-taek himself; nobody is swapped out along the way.

  • Two Operations a Day, No More

    The next case begins only after the previous patient has recovered, so each case gets enough time and attention.

  • CCTV in the Operating Room

    Procedures are recorded openly to create an environment patients and families can trust.

  • Sterilisation and Monitoring

    Chemical, high-pressure steam and EO gas sterilisation, real-time vital-sign monitoring during surgery, UPS, an AED and oxygen support, plus regular emergency drills.

  • RIBFIT™ Autologous Rib Cartilage

    Instead of silicone, the patient's own rib cartilage is finely diced and shaped to fit the nose.

  • No Surgery You Don't Need

    Procedures that are unnecessary or unlikely to make a meaningful difference are not recommended, and the reason is explained clearly.
