ID Hospital is a plastic-surgery hospital in Gangnam that operates across several areas rather than specialising in one: facial contouring of the cheekbones and jaw, rhinoplasty, breast surgery, and eyelid work. It is one of the larger surgical institutions in the district.
Reshapes the bones that set the outline of the face β reducing prominent cheekbones, narrowing the angle of the jawbone, or reshaping the point of the chin β usually as a combination rather than one bone at a time, since the three read together. This is bone surgery, with a longer and more swollen recovery than eyelid or nose work.
Narrows a wide or angular lower face by removing part of the mandible along the jaw angle. It changes the outline of the face from the front as much as from the side, and it is often planned alongside cheekbone work so the two stay in proportion.
Reshapes the nose β bridge height, tip definition, nostril width, or a combination β usually with the patient's own cartilage, sometimes with implant material. The general direction is a balanced profile rather than a dramatic change.
Increases breast size and reshapes the breast using implants, chosen for the patient's frame and existing tissue rather than a size on its own. Implants differ in shape, surface and how they feel once healed.
Also offered at ID
Zygoma Reduction (Malarplasty): Narrows prominent or wide cheekbones by cutting and repositioning the zygomatic bone, changing the width of the mid-face. It is commonly combined with jaw work rather than done alone.Face Lift: Tightens sagging skin and the tissue beneath it so the jawline and cheeks read firmer. It is a surgical answer to laxity rather than a treatment that is repeated.

β’ Reason for choosing this
Since entering my 40s, the area under my eyes has gradually become puffy and started casting shadows, and I've increasingly been told that I look tired. Since it's a part that even makeup can't hide, it bothered me more, and looking older than my actual age was the biggest stress for me, so I looked into under-eye fat repositioning.
β’ About the clinic
While I was undecided about which hospital to go to, I had a consultation at ID Hospital, and they explained that rather than simply removing the fat, it would be better to reposition the fat under the eyes to create a natural result, which made me feel I could trust them. Since the direction was about improving things while keeping my original impression rather than changing it excessively, I felt reassured.
β’ About the procedure
I had the under-eye fat repositioning procedure done. At first there was some swelling and bruising, but as time passed it gradually settled down naturally. Because the puffy area became smooth, my expression looks brighter, and I've been told less often that I look tired, so I'm very satisfied.

Concern before treatment:
I always got told I looked tired because of the puffy fat bulging under my eyes, and it stressed me out. I also felt it made me look older than my actual age, so I really wanted to fix this part. I found out later that this was the clinic where Lalali had her under-eye fat surgery, which I thought was interesting.
Consultation experience:
After comparing several clinics, I got a consultation at ID Hospital. Looking at the condition of my eyes, they explained that rather than simple removal, repositioning the under-eye fat would give a more natural result, which made sense to me. Since it was a direction that would improve things naturally without looking overdone, I felt no pressure about it.
Procedure result:
I had surgery with under-eye fat repositioning, and there was some swelling and bruising at first. But as time passed, it gradually settled down naturally. Once the bulging area became smooth, my overall impression looked a lot cleaner, and I'm hearing a lot these days that I look noticeably less tired.

β’ Reason for choosing this
The bulging fat under my eyes meant people often told me I always looked tired, and that was stressful. I also felt it made me look older than my actual age, so I was determined to fix this area. I later found out, to my surprise, that Lalla Ri was the hospital where the under-eye surgery was done.
β’ About the clinic
After comparing several clinics, I had a consultation at ID Hospital. While examining the condition of my eyes, they explained that rather than simply removing the fat, repositioning the under-eye fat would give a more natural result, which I found convincing. Since the approach aimed for a natural improvement rather than an excessive look, I didn't feel burdened by it.
β’ About the procedure
I had under-eye fat repositioning surgery. At first there was some swelling and bruising, but it gradually settled down naturally as time passed. With the bulging area smoothed out, my facial impression became noticeably more refined, and people often tell me now that I look less tired.

Concern before treatment:
As I entered my 40s, my under-eye area started looking more and more puffy and shadowed, and people kept telling me I looked tired. It bothered me even more because makeup couldn't cover it, and looking older than my actual age was the biggest source of stress, so I looked into under-eye fat repositioning.
About the clinic:
While I was deciding on a clinic, I got a consultation at ID Hospital, and I felt reassured because they explained that rather than simply removing the fat, it's better to tidy it up naturally through under-eye fat repositioning. It put my mind at ease that the direction was to improve things while keeping my original look, rather than changing it too drastically.
About the procedure:
I went with under-eye fat repositioning. There was a bit of swelling and bruising at first, but it gradually settled naturally over time. Now that the puffy area has been smoothed out, my expression looks much brighter, and people around me say less often that I look tired, so I'm quite satisfied.

β’ Concern before treatment:
I'm in my late 20s and I've been wearing double eyelid tape for quite a while. It was fine at first, but it kept coming undone and the line wasn't consistent, so it was stressing me out. Then I saw an influencer with pretty eyes on social media and suddenly got fixated on the idea that I should get it done too, so I started looking into it. I also asked coworkers and got recommendations for several places (referred to by initials), so I went around getting consultations at each one myself.
β’ About the clinic:
I went to several places but ended up deciding on ID Hospital. I didn't feel like they were pushing me too hard, and their explanation focused on a natural semi-outer line that would suit my eyes, which made the most sense to me. In particular, Dr. Hwang In-seok didn't just try to make the line bigger no matter what β he shaped it to bring out clarity in my current eyes, which put me at ease.
β’ About the procedure:
I had non-incisional ptosis correction (eyelid line correction) done with a semi-outer style. Early on there was some swelling so it looked a bit more pronounced/sharp, but as the swelling went down it gradually settled into a natural look, and now it's exactly the look I wanted. I rested for about 3 days and went straight back to work wearing a hat and mask, and it wasn't as noticeable as I expected, so getting back to daily life was fine too. The line stays clear even without double eyelid tape, so makeup is much more convenient now β that's the part I'm most satisfied with.

β’ Concern before treatment:
Because of my face I rarely took pictures and got teased a lot, so my self-esteem was at rock bottom. After much thought, I decided on contour surgery..! Since it's surgery that touches the bone, I think I searched hard to find a hospital with well-equipped safety facilities..??
β’ Consultation experience:
ID Hospital is known for having equipment as good as a university hospital, so I had a consultation with Dr. Lee Ji-hyuk...! Looking at my CT and panoramic scans, he explained that my square jaw and cheekbones were larger than average, and that just refining these would slim my face and show results from both the front and side view! I naturally assumed I'd need all three contour procedures... but he said only two would be enough, so I was secretly relieved... I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat.
β’ Procedure results:
My face was pretty puffy from swelling, but even so I could tell my face had gotten smaller just by looking at my jaw, so even though it hurt, I think I felt good about it, ha ha... At first it was hard to open my mouth so I brushed my teeth with mouthwash instead, and I ate foods that didn't require much chewing (soft tofu, porridge, etc.). As long as I managed to eat properly, ID Hospital took care of everything β massages, regenerating laser treatments, and masks β so it was really~~ convenient. There was aftercare beyond what I mentioned, quite a lot of it, but there was so much I forgot some of it... anyway, the aftercare was really excellent.
β’ Additional thoughts:
Getting the care available at the hospital, going for walks, doing hot/cold compresses β time passed by quickly. Now the swelling has gone down quite a bit and it looks natural, right? I used to have a very angular square jaw, but now it's a smooth V-line, and seeing myself like this feels strange but really, really nice... I'm happy. Before, my face couldn't even be fixed with a beauty filter app, but now I look good even without any filter, so I take selfies every day now. I think having the surgery and recovery done at ID Hospital let me recover quickly, so I really feel like this surgery was worth it, no regrets...
