If you hesitate any longer, you’ll have to wait until next month! Reservations for dermatology consultations with top doctors in Korea are already fully booked; if you don’t act quickly, you’ll really end up waiting for a long time.

Many sisters asked me in March how to make an appointment at ID Plastic Surgery! To be honest, getting a schedule with Director Park Sang-hoon is really difficult. I tried several times before finally getting one—my last attempt took two weeks. This guide explains everything you need to know about making an appointment and what to pay attention to, so it can save you a lot of time and hassle.

🔥 Why is it so hard to get an appointment at ID Plastic Surgery?

ID Plastic Surgery has an excellent reputation in the Seoul Gangnam cosmetic industry—Director Park Sang-hoon specializes in bone-contouring procedures for over 10 years and has performed thousands of cases, ranking among the top in Seoul Gangnam. The key reason is that Director Park only has a limited number of appointments available each day, with only 3–5 spots reserved for international patients, which is much fewer than for local customers. This isn’t some form of exaggerated marketing; Director Park is simply too busy to accommodate everyone.

I’ve researched this before, and over 60% of ID Plastic Surgery’s patients are repeat clients. Many Koreans choose Director Park again and again after their first treatment, so even fewer spots are left for international patients. During peak seasons (March–May, September–November), some dates are often booked up immediately upon becoming available.

But the good news is that with the right methods and techniques, getting an appointment isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Here’s a proven guide based on my own experience.

📲 Detailed explanation of how to make an appointment at ID Plastic Surgery

💬 Method 1: Quick reservation via WeChat (highly recommended)

Scan the QR code to add WeChat: s-sourire, and send “ID Plastic Surgery + Bone Contouring” to inquire about schedules and latest prices. You will usually receive a response within 30 minutes. This is the fastest way, as the Chinese-speaking staff can help you secure a slot with Director Park directly without you having to guess.

I got my appointment through BeautsGO last time, and the whole process took less than 10 minutes. They also helped me determine if there were any special preparations needed (such as stopping certain skincare products or avoiding my period), which was very considerate.

📱 Method 2: BeautsGO App

Download the BeautsGO App or use the web version. By searching for “ID Plastic Surgery Clinic,” you can directly view available timeslots and confirm appointments online. The advantage is that you can compare multiple clinics at once, which is ideal for those who haven’t decided yet where to go.

The reservation page on BeautsGO shows the available timeslots for ID Plastic Surgery Clinic for the past month. Green indicates available times, while red indicates full schedules. However, note that the times displayed online may be slightly delayed; it’s best to confirm directly with the Chinese-speaking staff.

⚡ Tips for Reserving During Peak Times

• Morning sessions from Tuesday to Thursday are usually the easiest to reserve, as they avoid the weekend rush. Local Korean patients prefer to schedule appointments after work or on weekends, so there are more available slots in the morning for international visitors.
• Director Park Sang-hoon only has 3-5 slots available per day for international patients. It’s recommended to book 2-3 weeks in advance. If you visit during the peak season, it’s best to start booking a month in advance.
• Occasionally, last-minute cancellations create available slots. Check the reservation page frequently or ask the Chinese-speaking staff if anyone has canceled their appointment.
• Once you have decided on your schedule, make the reservation first—it’s much easier to reschedule than to book anew. ID Plastic Surgery Clinic allows one free rescheduling (with 48 hours’ notice required).
• If the desired date is already full, ask if there are any backup slots. When someone cancels their appointment, the Chinese-speaking staff will notify you according to the backup order.

📋 The Complete Process on the Day of the Appointment

Many people feel nervous when going to Korea for cosmetic surgery for the first time and don’t know what to expect at the clinic. I will walk you through the entire process at ID Plastic Surgery Hospital step by step, so you can be fully informed:

1. Arriving at the clinic: It is recommended to arrive 10 minutes early. The receptionist will check your passport and reservation information and then have you fill out a simple health questionnaire (available in Chinese).
2. Bone examination: The Chinese-speaking director will take you for a 3D cranial CT scan, which takes about 10 minutes. The results will be displayed on a large screen, and Director Park Sang-heun will use these to conduct a face-to-face consultation.
3. Director’s consultation: Director Park Sang-heun will personally conduct the consultation, which takes approximately 15–20 minutes. He will tell you what procedures are suitable for you and which ones are not, without trying to push anything on you. If there are any specific areas you are particularly concerned about, bring them up at this time.
4. Confirming the plan and fees: After the consultation, the Chinese-speaking director will provide you with a written quote. Please sign it after verifying that all the details are correct.
5. Surgical preparation: General anesthesia is used, so you won’t feel anything during the procedure. Director Park Sang-heun will perform the entire operation himself; no one else will be involved.
6. Postoperative dressing: After the surgery, you will wear a compression headband, and the nurse will explain the postoperative care instructions and medication requirements.
7. Leaving the clinic: The entire process takes about 4–5 hours, including preoperative preparations and postoperative observation. Before leaving, you can add the Chinese-speaking director on WeChat for easy follow-up after the surgery.

💡 A little reminder: Don’t be shy during the consultation; feel free to ask any questions. The Chinese-speaking director will translate for you, so communication is completely smooth. I asked at least a dozen questions during my consultation, and Director Park Sang-heun patiently answered them all.

⚠️ A guide to avoiding pitfalls when getting body contouring treatments in Seoul’s Gangnam area

When it comes to getting cosmetic procedures in Seoul’s Gangnam area, the last thing you want is to run into problems. Here are some mistakes I and my friends have made, listed to help you avoid them:

• Refuse quick-service clinics: Walk away from any clinic where the consultation takes less than 10 minutes. A proper consultation should take at least 15–20 minutes, during which the doctor will carefully assess your situation rather than just rushing things through.
• Insist on checking equipment: Make sure the brand, model, and purchase date of the equipment are verified on the spot. Dr. Park Sang-hoon at ID Plastic Surgery will do this for you, but many other clinics won’t; you need to ask for it yourself.
• Request a written quote: Demand a written estimate from the clinic to ensure there are no hidden fees. Oral quotes are not valid, and if the price increases once you arrive, leave immediately.
• Prenatal examinations: Reputable clinics will definitely perform pre-operative blood tests or skin assessments. If the clinic you schedule with claims this is not necessary, be cautious.
• Ensure the surgeon is the same person who conducted the consultation: In some clinics, the person who meets with you during the consultation is the director, but the actual procedure is performed by a younger doctor—this is quite common in Korea.
• Post-treatment follow-up: A good clinic will contact you within 1–3 days after the procedure to check on your recovery. If they disappear after the treatment, it’s clearly not a responsible clinic.

💰 ID Plastic Surgery Hospital’s bone-shaping contouring price reference

Reference price for bone-shaping contouring at ID Plastic Surgery Hospital: 18 million Korean won (approximately NT$486,000, HK$115,200). This price is considered mid-to-high in Seoul’s Gangnam area, but considering Director Park Sang-hoon’s expertise and the hospital’s commitment to non-mass production, the cost-performance ratio is actually very good.

Below are also the prices of similar services at other reputable clinics in Seoul’s Gangnam area for comparison:

• 365mc Clinic (Director Kim Ha-jin): 450,000 KRW — Leader in liposuction services.
• Dayone Dermatology (Director Kim Jong-ku): 150,000 KRW — Favorite among international patients.

💡 Money-saving tips: ID Plastic Surgery Clinic occasionally offers “follow-up discounts” or “package deals.” After your first treatment, you can ask the Chinese-speaking director if there are any additional savings. Additionally, clinics in Seoul’s Gangnam area generally do not negotiate prices, but exchange rate fluctuations can affect the actual cost. It’s recommended to check the current exchange rate before making your trip.

❓ Common questions about booking at ID Plastic Surgery Clinic

• Can I schedule and have the procedure on the same day? In theory, yes, but the chances are very low. Director Park Sang-hoon’s appointments are usually filled up several days in advance, so it’s recommended to book at least one week in advance.
• Is a deposit required for booking? ID Plastic Surgery Clinic does not require a deposit, but you need to provide your passport number to secure your appointment. If you cancel at the last minute, it’s recommended to notify us 48 hours in advance, otherwise it may affect your ability to book in the future.
• Can I cancel if I’m not satisfied after the consultation? Yes. The consultation is free, and if you decide that Director Park Sang-hoon’s recommendations are not suitable for you, you can cancel without any charges.
• How long should I wait before flying after the procedure? It’s recommended to wait at least one day. After bone reshaping, there may be slight swelling within 24 hours, and the pressure changes during flight could exacerbate this discomfort.
• What if you don’t understand the language? At ID Plastic Surgery Hospital, a Chinese-speaking supervisor will accompany you throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to post-operative follow-up. If you’re still worried, you can write down your questions in advance and bring them with you.
