If you would like to receive VIP doctor’s comments regarding your interested treatment or surgeries, feel free to contact us via mobile messenger app. Please let us know your interested areas with clear photos (front and side) for a free online consultation. Your photos will be privately used for consultation purposes only.
After the initial consultation via email or Whatsapp, we can schedule a phone consultation for you. Please send us a message if you would like to schedule one and we will send you a zoom link. Our office hours are 10am – 7pm KST on weekdays.
Yes, we currently use Whatsapp and Zoom to assist video consultations with patients. In order to schedule a video consultation with our doctor, we will receive basic information about you and photos to review for Dr.Lee. Please send us your photos in different angles with your questions and concerns through Whatsapp, and we will show your photos to Dr.Lee for comments and recommendations. After an initial photo consultation, you may move forward to a video consultation.
We would love to provide you with a simulation but, unfortunately, we do not offer simulation anymore. Please understand that this is due to the limitation of the technology since the results from the computer can never be the same as the surgery results. Instead, we provide extensive number of before and after cases for you to refer.
Sure, it is possible. Please note that most surgeries are booked at least 2 weeks to 2 months ahead and you may not be able to get surgeries right after your in-person consultation without reservations.
Please send us a Whatsapp message to make an appointment for phone consultation. Once we receive your Whatsapp message, we will reply to you as soon as possible. Our online consultation is on weekdays from 10AM Korea time.
As we do receive a high volume of inquiries everyday, we try our best to respond on time. Sometimes we may not be able to reply right away, but we usually reply within 24 hours excluding holidays and weekends. There also can be some technical issues with Whatsapp, in that case if you don’t hear from us for a few days, please send us another message.
We recommend booking the surgery 1-3 months in advance. Please note that availability depends on the situation and we cannot hold your surgery date unless you send a deposit.
After operating for over 20 years in Gangnam of Seoul, in 2020 VIP has relocated to Jeju Island of Korea. Jeju Island is 50 minutes flight away from GMP airport. At Jeju Island, we are happy to serve you as a new medical tourism hub.
Yes, Dr. Myung Ju Lee is the founder and chief surgeon of VIP Plastic Surgery Center. He performs all surgeries, procedures, and post-care services. The clinic is fully operated by Dr.Lee and we are proud to continue to work with our best team members.
Please send us a message requiring the list of tests for health check, and we will send it to you according to the surgery you are interested in. Please do let us know any medications and supplements you are taking with your health history.
Please note, we will need your medical history, list of medications and/or vitamins you take. You will also need to undergo health check tests. It can be done either in Korea before the surgery, or you can do it beforehand in your country but within one week before the surgery. If you decide to make a health check in Korea, please, count in a few extra days for the test results to get ready. Please send an inquiry about the pre-surgery checklist for further guidance.
We provide post-care for all our patients. After the surgery you will need to visit the clinic for Dr.Lee’s check-ups everyday until the stitches are out. We also provide a complimentary skincare service to soothe your skin and fasten your recovery. Furthermore, our building consists of 24 hours nursing service in case of medical needs. We provide medical room services such as nursing service and meal service after your surgery as well.
Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks, so you will need approximately 1-2 weeks depending on the surgery. 12 to 14 days after the surgery are usually enough for most surgeries. Please note that depending on the surgery and your condition, the duration may vary.
Due to constant changes of travel restrictions, please check the Korean embassy’s website of your country (citizenship) to check the most updated and accurate policy. Requirements differ from country to country, but Korea has opened its borders for most countries.
With most passports, if you enter directly to CJU (Jeju) airport, you do not need a visa for your trip. Most international CJU flights are from Singapore and Shanghai. However, if you would like to visit any other cities outside of the island, you may need to prepare a visa in advance. This also applies for flights entering from ICN and GMP. Please check the Korean embassy website to check whether you need a visa according to your citizenship.
For solo-travel patients, we provide nurse care for the first 24-hours after major surgeries such as face lift, rhinoplasty, and facial contouring. Many of our international patients travel by themselves without any problems. If you book your surgery date we provide complimentary accommodation which is located in the same building as the clinic, therefore you don’t have to travel for your appointments.
We accept cash, wire transfer, and credit/debit cards. If you would like to pay by credit card or debit card, please do communicate with your bank regarding foreign transactions and daily/monthly limits.
Accommodation is a studio apartment with all the necessities like private bathroom, small kitchenette, bed, table, TV, hairdryer etc. You may check on our Instagram @vipps.kr
We do provide meals for patients who undergo major surgeries that require hospitalization and meals are provided only for the hospitalization period. On the 2-3rd day after the surgery food and meals have to be taken care of by the patients. As there are many restaurant and delivery options, we can guide you based on your preferences.
At VIP PS, our vision is to bring the inner beauty that each person naturally has. As we believe there is no set beauty standard in this society, we focus on enhancing our patients’ confidence and charm rather than fully changing the face.
It might be possible for some people, in case they have similar facial structure. However, in most cases it is quite difficult to create the same appearance as all people have different bone structure, muscles and tissues. It is especially difficult when it comes to different nationalities.
First of all, please understand every person has asymmetrical faces to some degree. Most cases of facial asymmetry are involved with asymmetrical facial bone structure which is very difficult to change and very dangerous, too. Dr. Lee always strives for the best results, but please understand that perfect symmetry is difficult to achieve.
