Nonhyeon‑dong – one of the core medical commercial districts in Gangnam, Seoul. From Exit 1 of Nonhyeon Station on Line 7 and the Sinbundang Line, the Twosome Place building is right there. In this Gangnam commercial district where “clinics are everywhere,” the question of “which clinic to choose” often causes more anxiety than “whether to have surgery” – concerns about unnatural results, being oversold, and lack of post‑operative follow‑up.
Hugo Plastic Surgery, located on the 6th floor of Geonu Building, 548 Gangnam‑daero, Gangnam‑gu, Seoul, offers an approach that returns to the essence of medical care – honest communication, natural results, and no hard selling. In an industry where “consultant interviews, doctor operates” is the norm, this clinic led by Dr. Yang, a board‑certified plastic surgeon, builds trust through a different logic – not “recommend as much as possible,” but “only if it’s suitable.” Its location right at Nonhyeon Station Exit 1 makes every visit convenient for international patients.
Hugo Plastic Surgery’s core procedures cover facelift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and facial contouring.
In facelift, Hugo offers comprehensive anti‑ageing solutions including facelift, neck lift, and cheek lift. Facelift involves repositioning and fixation of deep facial tissues – handling the SMAS layer, lifting force of soft tissue, and incision placement – every decision directly affects the naturalness and longevity of post‑operative results. Hugo has established a systematic technical system in facelift, forming a complete cycle from pre‑operative assessment to intra‑operative technique to post‑operative management.
In eye surgery, the clinic offers upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and eyelid fat repositioning. The precision required in eye surgery demands a deep understanding of eyelid anatomy – skin thickness, muscle direction, fat distribution – every layer’s handling determines the naturalness and symmetry of the post‑operative shape.
In facial contouring, the clinic offers facial liposuction and submentoplasty (chin contouring), forming a complete “lift + sculpt” solution when combined with facelift.
Treatment principle: Hugo is founded on honesty, providing the most suitable treatment plan for every patient. During consultation, the doctor explains each step in detail, clearly outlining the pros and cons of each option, so patients can make decisions with full informed consent.
Suitable candidates include:
In an industry accustomed to “more procedures, more revenue,” Hugo takes a distinctly different path – honest communication and no hard selling.
During consultation, the doctor explains each step in detail, clearly outlining the pros and cons of every option, so patients can make decisions with full informed consent. The doctor does not recommend unsuitable procedures for revenue, but gives honest advice based on professional judgment – which procedures can deliver meaningful improvement and which are not necessary under the current conditions. In an industry rife with over‑promising, this restraint of “no hard selling” is precisely the professional integrity that experienced doctors possess.
Hugo Plastic Surgery’s core doctor is Dr. Yang (Yang Seong‑hyeok). Dr. Yang is a board‑certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience in facelift and eye surgery.
In terms of consultation style, Dr. Yang emphasises detailed explanation and transparent communication – he takes time to ensure patients fully understand every step of the procedure and the recovery process. In terms of design philosophy, Dr. Yang emphasises natural results – not pursuing the most extreme “tightest pull,” but achieving improvement in signs of ageing while still allowing the patient to be recognised as “themselves.” In terms of surgical technique, Dr. Yang personally performs every procedure – from pre‑operative design to surgical execution, all done by the doctor himself.
Hugo has established a systematic post‑operative care system to help patients through the recovery period smoothly. Post‑operative care includes hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), cryo cooling, LED light therapy, facial masks, and intravenous vitamin infusion – these recovery protocols are customised according to individual progress, rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all template.
During recovery, the hospital provides ongoing swelling management support, ensuring patients receive adequate attention and care throughout the process. From pre‑operative assessment to intra‑operative technique to post‑operative management, the entire process is led by the same doctor, ensuring continuity of care and traceability of responsibility.
