SHE’S Plastic Surgery Clinic also has a branch in Busan, something that many friends who have consulted the clinic in Seoul are not aware of. The Busan branch is headed by Director Kim Kyung-ho, who specializes in contour surgery and facial lifting procedures. Compared to the Gangnam branch in Seoul, it is relatively easier to get a reservation at the Busan branch, but it is still recommended to book your appointment in advance, as Director Kim is not available for consultations every day in Busan. This article outlines the reservation process and the rules regarding the number of available consultation slots at the Busan branch for the year 2026.
🏥 Basic Information about the Busan Branch of SHE’S Plastic Surgery Clinic
The Busan branch is located in the Haeundae area, just about a 10-minute walk from Haeundae Beach. There are numerous hotels and restaurants in the vicinity, providing a very comfortable environment for recovery after surgery. The scale of this branch is larger than that of the Seoul branch, and it also has more operating rooms. It primarily serves customers undergoing procedures related to facial contouring, facelifts, and body sculpting.
Dean Kim Kyung-ho spends several fixed days each month seeing patients at the Busan branch; the specific schedule may vary from month to month, so please refer to the reservation system on BeautsGO for the most up-to-date information. The advantage of Busan is that the waiting times for surgeries are shorter than those in Seoul; for popular procedures, wait times usually range from 1 to 2 weeks.
📅 Rules for the Allocation of In-person Consultation Seats at the Busan Branch
Many people wonder why sometimes booking one month in advance doesn’t guarantee a spot, while last-minute reservations can succeed. This is because the quota allocation for SHE’S’ Busan branch follows these particular rules:
Priority 1: Patients who have already scheduled their surgery. If you have reserved a surgery date, a consultation is usually arranged around that date, and the spot is therefore reserved for you.
Priority 2: Follow-up appointments for patients. After the surgery, the follow-up appointments are usually arranged by the surgeon who performed the operation, and the date of the follow-up is determined on the day of the surgery itself.
Priority 3: Initial consultations. The number of slots available for initial appointments is particularly limited, especially on the days when Director Kim is practicing in Busan; these slots usually fill up 2 to 4 weeks in advance.
⏰ How can I secure a spot for a in-person consultation with Director Kim Kyung-ho in Busan?
I would like to share my practical experience with everyone:
Tip 1: Don’t just look at the schedule for one month alone. President Kim’s itinerary in Busan may be adjusted two to three times a month, and the announced dates can vary each time. It is recommended to check BeautsGO once a week to see the latest schedule and seize any available opportunities immediately.
Tip 2: Speed up the process through Chinese channels. Contact WeChat user s-sourire directly and inform them that you would like to schedule a in-person consultation with Director Jin at Busan, and provide the range of alternative dates you are available on. Chinese customer service staff can sometimes help you secure a spot on the waiting list or secure a time slot that has been cancelled by someone else.
Tip 3: Plan your entire itinerary for Busan in advance. Once you have confirmed the appointment date, promptly book your flight and accommodation to avoid exorbitant costs resulting from last-minute ticket purchases. There are numerous hotels available in the Haeundae area of Busan, and booking in advance can help you get better prices.
🏖️ The hidden advantages of having surgery in Busan
Many people don’t realize that undergoing major surgeries in Busan actually comes with unique advantages.
Price advantage: The venue costs in Busan are approximately 15%–20% lower than those in Seoul, and surgeries of the same level are usually cheaper in Busan as well.
Postoperative recovery environment: The air quality and environmental conditions in Haeundae are quite good, so it is possible to take a walk by the sea shortly after the surgery to help restore one’s mood, which is very beneficial for adjusting the psychological state.
Higher privacy: There are fewer plastic surgery tourists in Busan compared to Seoul, so it is less likely to encounter other such tourists around the clinics, which is particularly reassuring for those who value privacy.
Faster appointment scheduling: During the off-peak seasons in Busan (winter and the rainy season), surgery appointments are arranged very quickly; sometimes, it is even possible to get a slot one week in advance.
💬 Procedures on the day of the in-person consultation in Busan
Upon arrival at the clinic, the front desk will first verify the reservation information and then arrange for you to complete a basic health questionnaire. Subsequently, you will be taken to an independent consultation room by the head of the Chinese language department, where Director Jin will personally conduct a face-to-face consultation with you.
During the in-person consultation, Director Jin will use glow to examine your contours and the degree of sagging from different angles, and then explain his assessment and recommendations. He usually provides 2–3 treatment options, clearly stating the recovery time and expected differences in results for each option.
After the in-person consultation, the Chinese-speaking manager will provide a detailed explanation of the costs. At this point, you can decide on the spot based on your budget and the expected recovery time, or you can simply say, “I need some time to think about it,” and then contact us again through BeautsGO or WeChat at s-sourire to make an appointment.
🚗 Transportation suggestions for seeking medical treatment in Busan
It takes approximately 40 minutes to drive from Gimhae International Airport to Haeundae. It is recommended to book the shuttle service provided by the clinic in question, as this option is usually more affordable and reliable than taking a taxi. Another option is to take the subway to Haeundae Station and then walk or take a short-distance taxi.
🏥 A comprehensive guide to post-operative recovery in Busan
Many people choose to undergo major surgeries, such as facelifts, in Busan, but they often overlook the importance of proper post-operative recovery. Although Busan is a beautiful city, one’s physical condition after surgery requires special attention. Here are some practical suggestions based on my own experience:
Accommodation arrangements: It is necessary to stay in Busan for at least 5 to 7 days after the procedure for observation and follow-up visits. It is recommended to stay in the Haeundae or Gwangan-ri areas near the medical facility, as these locations are close to the sea and have fresh air, which is beneficial for recovery. In the first 3 days after the surgery, it is best to rest in a hotel and avoid any planned trips to tourist attractions.
Diet after surgery: For the first week after the procedure, avoid spicy foods (chili, alcohol, caffeine) as well as overly salty foods, as these can exacerbate swelling. Consume more high-protein foods such as fish, tofu, and chicken breast, as well as fruits rich in vitamin C, which will help promote wound healing.
Swelling management: In addition to the post-operative care provided by the medical institution, you can apply ice compresses for 15–20 minutes daily after returning home (within the first 3 days after the procedure) or use hot compresses after 3 days. If possible, you may also consider visiting a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Busan for post-operative acupuncture treatment, which can be very effective.
⚠️ Matters of special attention when seeking medical treatment in Busan
First, it is essential to understand the emergency response measures of the medical institution. In the event of any complications after major surgeries (such as excessive bleeding or fever), an emergency treatment plan must be in place. Large general hospitals in Busan, such as Good Samsun Hospital and Busan National University Hospital, have plastic surgery emergency departments.
Secondly, the language issue is more prominent in Busan than in Seoul. There are significantly fewer Chinese-speaking service providers in Busan compared to Gangnam; it is highly recommended to arrange all arrangements through BeautsGO or WeChat’s s-sourire platform.
Thirdly, pharmacies in Busan are not as densely distributed as those in Seoul. It is recommended to obtain the painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs needed after the procedure directly from the medical institution, rather than trying to buy them at a pharmacy outside.
💡 The perfect itinerary for a trip to Busan combined with medical beauty treatments
If you wish to combine your trip to Busan with medical beauty treatments, the recommended schedule is as follows: Day 1 – Arrival; Day 2 – Consultation and examination; Day 3 – Major surgery; Days 4–6 – Recovery and light sightseeing (such as a walk along the Haeundae Beach or a visit to the Ganchon Cultural Village); Day 7 – Follow-up appointment; Day 8 – Return home.
Under no circumstances should you schedule a major surgery on the last day of your trip. Recovery after the surgery takes time, and air pressure changes during flights can also affect the recovery process.
