Baba Plastic Surgery Clinic

• Concerns Before Procedure My nose line had a dorsal hump and the tip was drooping, so my nose line was really a mess ㅠ From the side, it looked really unattractive... I was very concerned about it..ㅠㅠㅠ I was constantly bothered by it, so I thought I should just get nose surgery rather than stress about it. I looked around here and there, watched Baba Plastic Surgery's blog and YouTube, and had a consultation. • Consultation Experience I had consultations at other hospitals too, but Baba gave me the most detailed consultation. Director Jo Sung-eun explained how to make my nose line smooth and showed me virtual surgery results with Photoshop while providing kind and thorough consultation!! • Procedure Results After removing the splint from the nose surgery, the stress disappeared ㅠㅠㅠ The dorsal hump line turned out smooth, and the drooping nose tip is now nicely lifted ㅎㅎㅎ They took great care of the aftercare as well, so I'm glad I had it done at Baba ㅎㅎㅎ It's only been 2 weeks and the swelling hasn't fully gone down yet, but I already love it so much ㅜㅜ

• Concerns Before Procedure My eyes were asymmetrical and I wanted to have a more defined impression. • Consultation Experience It was convenient because the waiting time was short and there was parking available. • Procedure Results At first, I was worried because there was a lot of swelling for a natural adhesion, but after a few days, the swelling started to go down and it became natural without any scars.

• Concerns Before Procedure Wanted to change the double eyelid line • Consultation Experience I was a bit disappointed that the consultation director changed in the middle. However, it was good that you connected me with the doctor when I had questions. • Procedure Results I had double eyelid line eye surgery with natural adhesion and upper canthoplasty from Director Jo Sung-eun at Baba Plastic Surgery. It's been about 4 months now, and most of the major swelling has subsided. The director came to check if it was healing well during follow-up visits, which gave me confidence. Since I had the procedure done with the burial method, if the stitches come loose again later, I plan to visit Director Jo Sung-eun again!

• Concerns Before Procedure Had many forehead wrinkles and looked fierce • Consultation Experience The staff guided me kindly. However, since it was a busy time, the waiting time was a bit long. • Procedure Results I received burial sutures + upper eye correction + eye shape correction + upper eyelid fat removal from Dr. Kim Sang-il at Baba Plastic Surgery. I'm satisfied because he did it exactly the way I wanted! The surgery was a bit painful on the day of the procedure, but the pain was manageable two days later.

• Concerns Before Procedure I was troubled by my double eyelid loosening, and doing eyelid tape every day was bothersome. • Consultation Experience The doctor treated me very comfortably and was extremely meticulous!! The price was also much more affordable than expected. • Procedure Results I'm satisfied because I got the line I really wanted. I was scared because my first surgery was very painful, but it was really fine.. I could even eat right after.ㅎㅎ • Additional Comments If acquaintances are worried about it, I think I'll recommend Baba. I'm satisfied to that extent.

• Concerns Before Surgery I had severe asymmetrical eyes, which caused me great stress when taking photos. Even my eye that originally had a crease didn't show a clear double eyelid. • Consultation Experience What I liked most was that there was no pressure to do additional procedures. Rather than being told to do more excessively, the doctor recommended a line that was perfectly suited to my eyes. The doctor spoke with such confidence that it gave me a lot of trust. • Surgery Results I had eye surgery including natural adhesion and eye shape correction by Dr. Jang Seung-bin at Baba Plastic Surgery! There's no scarring and my friends didn't even know I had double eyelid surgery. Everyone is surprised when I say I had my eyes done because they look so natural. Now I feel comfortable even when taking photos. The line turned out so beautifully that I absolutely don't regret having the surgery. I'm completely satisfied!!

• Concerns before procedure Was bothered by uneven double eyelid lines • Consultation experience The price was the same as the event price and received detailed and kind consultation • Procedure results At Baba Plastic Surgery, Dr. Jo Sung-eun performed natural adhesion and upper canthoplasty for eye surgery. The swelling went down quickly and I'm satisfied with the line turning out as desired

• Concerns Before Procedure I was concerned about my nose having a typical bulbous appearance with a rounded and wide tip, and the overall height was also on the lower side. I knew that the nose greatly influences one's overall impression, but it took quite a while to make the decision to undergo surgery. I heard many people say that nose surgery needs to be done multiple times, so I started exploring options with the initial thought of just getting a consultation. • Consultation Experience I received a consultation from Director Jo Sung-eun at Baba Plastic Surgery. He analyzed my nose using something called Nose BTI and helped me understand what type my nose was. He explained the necessary parts for surgery and later provided photoshopped images while explaining. Since I'm a detail-oriented person, I made a comparison table and scored the hospitals. Baba had the highest score and left the strongest impression on me, so I ended up having the surgery there. • Procedure Results Honestly, I was more worried before the surgery, but I thought my concerns were unnecessary as the results turned out so well! It was my first nose surgery and there was no pain at all—the stuffiness from the cotton was the biggest discomfort. People often catch colds during the swelling period, but right after removing the splint, I immediately thought it looked pretty, so I didn't experience that phase. My nose previously had a low bridge and blunt shape, but now with a defined bridge and improved shape, my overall image has completely changed. I'm glad I chose the hospital well hehe • Additional Comments Thank you to Director Jo Sung-eun at Baba!

• Pre-procedure concern Because of my flat nose, not only my front appearance but also my side profile looked very dull. • Consultation experience The director examined me thoroughly, quickly grasped the style I wanted, and provided a clean and satisfactory consultation without recommending anything unnecessary. • Procedure result The anesthesia wore off briefly during the procedure and it hurt, but the director quickly noticed and put me back to sleep. • Additional comments I had nose surgery with Director Cho Sung-eun at Baba Plastic Surgery! On the day of consultation, I felt very confident and meticulous, so I gained trust and booked the surgery date right away. The director didn't push for an unnecessarily high bridge and designed it to match my facial proportions. I also wanted a natural but definite image transformation. I underwent bridge augmentation (silicone), tip enhancement (septal cartilage, ear cartilage, donated rib), plus correction for bulbous nose, lowering of the columella, nostril lowering, and correction of deviated nostrils, and I got exactly the results I wanted. I think the director is very meticulous and delicate. Everyone who sees me says it turned out naturally and beautifully. I'm very satisfied.

• Concerns before procedure Was worried about having a low nose • Consultation experience During consultation, the doctor well identified which areas needed improvement and what concerns I had, and explained all my questions thoroughly~ They showed me what it would look like after surgery using Photoshop, and the actual result came out with a line that I liked even more than the Photoshop preview, which was helpful as a reference for what to expect • Procedure results Overall, I'm very satisfied! Thanks to the meticulous surgery, the nostril asymmetry and the nasal tip correction that I was concerned about turned out really well, and you're truly the master of rhinoplasty! The bridge of my nose and overall nose line came out exactly as I wanted, so the change in my front and side profile is significant, which is great • Additional comments Baba Joseongeun received rhinoplasty from this director using bridge + nasal tip reduction for crooked nose correction, pinched nose correction, lowering the nasal columella, lowering the nostrils, ear cartilage, and donated rib cartilage, and is currently still satisfied with the nose surgery

• Pre-procedure concerns I had double eyelid surgery at a local clinic last June, but ended up with sausage eyes and developed creases. • Consultation experience It's been 10 months since my first surgery. At a large factory-type hospital, the quote I received a month ago was nearly 5 million won, 1.7 times more expensive than expected (both based on discounted prices). I thought it was very expensive, but they said I had to wait for revision surgery and that it was too early. I gave up on it. When I heard it could be done here, I hastily decided on the surgery. Of course, Director Cho explained things well and I felt confident. Even though the clinic is smaller in scale, I felt more trust here and decided to do it without checking other places, even though it's expensive. I don't want to have revision surgery again, so I was careful. ㅠㅠ • Procedure results Since swelling and bruising are still very apparent, I think it will take at least 3 days before I can see any real difference. • Additional comments I never imagined I'd have double eyelid surgery twice as I got older. I was under a lot of stress from the first surgery, so I wanted to have the revision surgery as soon as possible and I have no regrets. • Double line bundling? Incision method (revision surgery) • In-out (forgot the reason - due to my eye characteristics, semi-out won't work) • Eye shape correction • Upper eyelid fat repositioning • Upper eyelid fat grafting My eyes are round and round-shaped. I asked if I needed to do lateral canthoplasty, but was told there wasn't much extra space and that it wasn't necessary, so I went ahead with the surgery at this level. I'm still in pain and worried about whether it turned out pretty... but I'm more hopeful. ^^

• Pre-procedure Concerns I was worried about my small and low nose, and after much deliberation, I received rhinoplasty from Dr. Baaba Cho Sung-eun! After looking at the before and after photos, I really liked that the line Dr. Baaba pursues was similar to what I wanted, so I definitely wanted to get the surgery at Baaba Plastic Surgery. • Consultation Experience During the consultation, Dr. Baaba well identified which areas could be improved and what my concerns were, and explained everything I was curious about~ After showing me with Photoshop what the post-surgery appearance would look like, the results came out even better than the Photoshop version, which was helpful as a reference for what to expect. I also appreciated that the director didn't pressure me during the consultation. I was grateful that whenever I contacted before and after surgery, the director always responded kindly without any sign of annoyance!! • Procedure Results Even after the surgery, I barely had any bruising or swelling. I think it's because Dr. Baaba performed the surgery so skillfully, so I'm really glad I chose to receive surgery from the director. • Additional Comments Overall, I'm extremely satisfied! Thanks to the meticulous surgery, the asymmetry of my nostrils and the tip of my nose that I was concerned about were corrected very well, and Dr. Baaba is truly a master! The bridge of my nose and the overall nasal line came out exactly as I wanted, so I'm happy with both the front and side views~ Thank you for making it pretty!

• Concerns before the procedure I looked into surgery because of droopy eyes and tired-looking eyes. • Consultation experience At Baba Plastic Surgery, I received double eyelid incision surgery, eye shape correction, and four-directional eye opening from Director Cho Sung-eun. The results were very satisfactory. • Procedure results I had eye surgery at Baba Plastic Surgery with Director Cho Sung-eun (incision eye shape correction, incision double eyelid, front opening, upper opening, lower opening, rear opening). First of all, my droopy eyes improved significantly, which I'm most pleased about. People around me also said the eye surgery looked very natural, which makes me happy. The four-directional opening also went well, so my eyes that looked slightly tired before now look refreshed, which I love. I'm so satisfied that I wonder why I was even hesitant about getting eye surgery!

• Concerns Before Procedure After my first nose surgery, I was really stressed that the curved nose correction didn't work out..ㅠㅠㅋㅋ I was worried I'd be conscious about it my whole life, so I was looking into revision nose surgery hospitals. I watched Baba Plastic Surgery's YouTube and saw clear improvements, so I got hooked..ㅋㅋㅋ The hospital location is right in front of Apgujeong Station exit, so it was very easy to find. • Consultation Experience Just like in Baba Plastic Surgery's YouTube, the director gave me a really kind and thorough consultation!! What I liked most during the consultation was that they analyzed my nose using a questionnaire-like tool similar to Cobia I, and explained in detail what lines would suit me and what proportions would be ideal. The hospital was also very clean and well-organized. • Procedure Results I heard about it during consultation, but the unlimited aftercare is great. Every time I came in for splint removal or aftercare, they checked my progress well and explained precautions carefully, which was nice. The curved nose is gone too ㅎㅎ I think I'll like it even more once all the residual swelling goes down.

• Concerns before the procedure My bridge wasn't particularly low, but my nasal tip was drooping and I was bothered by my hooked nose, so I got surgery! I visited other hospitals too, but Baba Plastic Surgery seemed to do the line I wanted the best, so I decided to have it done there. • Consultation experience Both the manager and the doctor were kind, and they consulted with me while pointing out parts that might not need surgery. Since I used autologous rib, even with the test-taker event, it was much more expensive than consultations at other hospitals ㅠ But since I had quite a lot of correction done, it might be expensive for that reason, so it seems like it varies from person to person. • Procedure results I had Dr. Josung do bridge correction, curved nose correction, pinched nose correction, columella correction, lateral osteotomy, and hooked nose correction. The results are extremely satisfying~ Since I didn't want to have revision surgery later no matter what, I used autologous rib from the first surgery. I had it done while in school, so I was out for about a week and went around wearing a corset without going to school. The scar is quite visible! I don't really mind it, so it seems fine. The manager took care of me a lot through text, and when I saw the doctor for a follow-up, even though he was busy, he answered all my questions! • Additional comments When I watch Baba Plastic Surgery's YouTube or short-form videos, the confidence in not letting the nasal tip droop..? The expertise seems excellent, so I entrusted my nose with autologous rib from the first surgery, and the line I wanted came out well, so I'm living very satisfied!

• Concerns Before Procedure I was always concerned about my eyes not looking sharp and my overall appearance seeming cloudy and dull. In particular, I was disappointed that my inter-eyebrow area was wide and whenever I took photos, my eyes looked small and tired. • Consultation Experience During the eye consultation, Director Kim Sang-il carefully examined my eye condition and explained in detail what approach would look natural and suit me. I appreciated that the consultation focused on a natural direction that suited my face rather than an excessive look, and the atmosphere made it easy to ask questions comfortably without any burden. • Procedure Results I underwent natural adhesion, inner canthoplasty, and upper canthoplasty together. As a result, my eyes became much sharper and clearer. Particularly, as the tired-looking aspect improved, my overall impression became much neater, and the wide inter-eyebrow area also seemed naturally improved, which I'm very satisfied with. I'm most pleased with the natural change without being excessive. • Additional Comments I had the procedure at Baba Cosmetic Surgery, and overall I was very satisfied from consultation to procedure to results. I'd like to recommend it to those who want natural changes, and I think it would be especially suitable for people like me who were concerned about their eyes looking tired. There wasn't much bruising or swelling after surgery, and it didn't last long.

• Concerns before the procedure I decided to get double eyelid surgery because it seemed better than continuously applying and wearing tape-on double eyelids. • Consultation experience After reading reviews, I found the eyes I wanted and received an eye consultation from Dr. Jang Seung-bin at Baba Plastic Surgery. Since it was my first time at a plastic surgery clinic, I was quite nervous and didn't know much, but the consultation was so kind and helpful. • Procedure results I had natural adhesion, upper eye opening, and eye correction done. I was very satisfied because the double eyelid line turned out natural and pretty. • Additional opinions I won't regret it after having it done.

• Concerns Before the Procedure I decided to have surgery because I wished to have a line in front of my eyes! • Consultation Experience Everyone seemed busy, so there was some rushing. I thought I saw something like AI or Enigma written there, so I thought we would consult while looking at it, but we didn't. The manager-director-manager-and the director adjusted my line again on the bed before surgery. The price was the same as the event! I also received a pRF injection while sleeping, and I thought this was part of the event too, but it seems it wasn't. I paid full price. Compared to the price, it's quite expensive. I'm not sure about the results yet. For the double eyelids, I'll have to wait since it's the same day, but the line turned out pretty well! • Procedure Results Possibly because my skin is thin, I have some bruising and swelling.

• Pre-procedure Concerns I have hooded eyes, and my face in the mirror, selfies, and photos taken by others all look different. I tend to lift my eyes with my eyebrows, and my eyes often appear tired, so I decided to get double eyelid surgery. • Consultation Experience When I went for my first consultation, it happened to be during a quiet time, so there was no waiting. I was able to consult with the director immediately, then met with the head doctor and received a general explanation, and everything proceeded quickly, which was great. The director kindly explained everything and only mentioned necessary procedures without pushing for additional treatments. The head doctor thoroughly explained why each procedure was necessary and simply showed through a program that there was no need for additional eye opening procedures. The explanation was so easy to understand that I had no questions. It was wonderful. • Procedure Results I was worried since it was my first double eyelid surgery, but it turned out so well. The pain was only present after the anesthesia wore off on the day of surgery. There was no bruising, and aside from not being able to wash my face, I had no discomfort until the stitches were removed. • Additional Comments BaBa's proprietary eye surgery AI program made it easy for someone like me having their first double eyelid surgery to understand through both visuals and explanations, so I felt more confident about getting the surgery. Everyone complimented how there's no swelling and how pretty my eyes look, so I'm glad I got the surgery at BaBa.

• Concerns Before the Procedure I was worried about whether I should redo my double eyelid surgery since it had come undone, but after consulting, it seemed like it would be fine, so I proceeded. • Consultation Experience I appreciated how the consultation was explained comfortably without pressure, and I gained trust because the direction was well-set according to my eye condition. • Procedure Results Now the double eyelid line is naturally well-defined, and the area that had come undone is neatly organized, so I'm satisfied. • Additional Comments I was worried about whether to redo my double eyelid surgery since it had come undone, and after consulting, I decided to proceed with Dr. Jang Seung-bin at Baba Plastic Surgery. During the consultation, the doctor explained well according to my eye condition, which gave me confidence, and I was able to make a decision without burden. Now the line is naturally well-defined, and the overall appearance looks much clearer, so I'm satisfied. The recovery went smoothly without major inconvenience in daily life, and the result looks natural, so I think I made the right decision!!

Originally, when I made a reservation through KakaoTalk, they said it was possible in early December. But after finding out I'm a foreigner, they refused to let me book through KakaoTalk and insisted I add WeChat to contact them for the reservation. A few minutes after adding WeChat, they said the reservation would have to wait until next year? But Naver still shows available bookings - are they playing tricks on me? I told them I don't need translation because I speak Korean and didn't want to waste money on translation fees. Then they didn't seem to want me as a customer. Just moments before, when I asked the Korean customer service, they said early December was available, but the next moment, the Chinese customer service said I'd have to wait until January next year??

I got an eyelid revision surgery done by Dr. Kim Sang Il and I am extremely satisfied with my results. He is extremely skilled in his field and has exceeded my expectations. My experience from the initial consultation to post surgery has been excellent. The clinic also provides after care to decrease swelling post op. Big thank you to both Dr. Kim Sang Il and my interpreter which made the entire process run smoothly. I feel very welcomed and couldn't be happier!

I had my rhinoplasty with Dr. Cho 1 month ago and I'm so happy with the results. Being a newer clinic with not much info online, it definitely felt like taking a leap of faith to go with Dr. Cho. What really sold me was a YouTube video where he broke down what makes a good nose, which included specific details like nostril angle, columella height or broadness of the nose tip - not just the typical “small tip, tall bridge, 100 degree angle”. He is so meticulous and you can really sense that he takes pride in his work. His before and after photos certainly showed that he had the skills to back it up. I finally have the nose I've always wanted which suits my face and balances out my other features. All the staff at the clinic were very pleasant, especially the consultant I worked with who was very patient and took the time to understand my concerns, relaying them accurately to Dr. Cho. I also feel so blessed to have had the interpreter I worked with, she always made sure I was safe and comfortable. She even sent a box of pumpkin juice to my hotel after surgery! I wish the best for VAVA and hope they succeed so more people can have positive experiences as medical tourists in Korea.

I had a double eyelid revision surgery and it turned out so well ㅠ I recommend it with my own money ㅠ ㅠ

Consultations proceed through thorough examinations. Comfortable counseling is provided without pressure. The doctor accurately explains what is wrong with my eyes.

I visited Korea from Canada because i wanted to get a lower bleph surgery to remove the hollowness and bulging bump when i smiled. There was no makeup that could hide that part of my eyes! I spoke to the interpreter Annette beforehand to do a telephone consultation and i sent in my pictures and she told me that i was a good candidate for the lower bleph with external incision - they also redistributed the fat i had under my eyelids to fill in the hollowness. My eyelids were too baggy to be a candidate for non incisional. I scheduled my surgery with Dr. Cho Sung Eun and booked a flight to Korea for 8 days. Normally you can remove stitches by day 7 but i asked if i could have mine removed by day 6 and they were ok with this. It is now day 21 after my surgery and i could not be happier with the results! Day 1 i looked beat up because i was swollen in my upper eyelid and lower and everything felt tender and i felt alot of pressure in the eyes but honestly by day 2 it was pretty normal, there was still a bit of discomfort but much better than i expected and i still went out with my bandages and shopped and honestly no one even cared! it was as if my bandages and surgery was so normal. If i knew how easy this surgery was and how much of a difference i would see - i would've considered doing this in my 20's instead of waiting till my late 30's. I highly recommend this clinic and Dr Cho Sung Eun, he was so nice and gentle and did an amazing job! Annette made me feel comfortable before, during and after the surgery she was great!! She ordered me some pumpkin juice so i could heal quicker and i think it worked because my eyes looks so much better - i don't look tired anymore! I also don't even need concealer after the surgery, the eye area is so much brighter! Thank you Vava PS!

I had eyelid surgery with Dr. Kim a year ago, and I’m so happy with the results. Love how it’s natural, symmetrical, and beautifully healed. From the start, he was incredibly detailed and honest about what I needed and didn’t need. Five months later, I returned for skin treatments after experiencing facial fat loss from Ulthera done elsewhere. Dr. Kim immediately noticed the issue and recommended treatments that truly helped. My face looks balanced and youthful again. I’ve already referred few friends there and they’re all happy with the result. Dr. Kim is someone you can truly trust with your face! Highly recommend!

I visited for eye revision surgery. Since it was a revision surgery, I went back and forth deciding which doctor to see. From the consultation, Director Kim listened to me with care, and the staff members were also kind, so I decided to have the surgery here. I was worried about whether the post-operative treatment would be painful, but it wasn't painful at all. Also, the Line response was handled properly, which was very reassuring. Being able to ask about concerns immediately is really important. I was torn between several places, but I'm glad I chose to have it done here.

The hospital was clean and hygienic. Not only were the reception staff kind, but the room director and the director were also gentle and courteous, which put me at ease. Although I was initially worried about the Korean language, there were no particular problems, which was also good.

I went to several consultations for nose surgery, but Director Cho's explanation was the easiest to understand and the most courteous, so I decided to have the surgery here. Although there was some time between the consultation and the surgery, I was able to consult about any concerns via LINE and received quick responses, which gave me peace of mind. I also appreciated being shown case photos carefully. The staff were also kind on the day of surgery, so I was able to undergo the procedure calmly. Three months post-op now, and I'm very satisfied. Not only does my face look great from the front, but the profile line is also beautiful. I'm glad I had the courage to make this decision back then. Thank you so much!

I recently visited Korea from the US and wanted to address loss of volume and multiple folds in my eye. My journey started after posting my concern on the Unni app forum where Dr. Cho Sungeun from VAVA Clinic personally responded to my post in a kind and informative way. It caught my attention and made me more interested in the clinic. I was deciding between a few clinics but ultimately decided on VAVA. In my research, I watched all of VAVA’s TikTok and YouTube videos and found the head doctors to be both knowledgeable and personable. I also really liked their surgery results and style. Another major factor in my decision was the amazing support from their English-speaking rep, Annette who was so helpful and patient throughout the whole process. A few months before the surgery I received an online consultation by sending a photo and video of my eyes. Dr. Cho reviewed them and provided a general treatment plan. We then planned to have an in person consult before the actual surgery. On the day of my surgery, the clinic itself was spotless and modern, and all the staff were friendly. I had a thorough consultation with Dr. Cho and it was clear to me that he really cares about his patients and takes pride in his clinic. I had a change in surgery plan after the in-person consultation which lengthened my surgery time by an hour. The doctor had consultations booked during that time but the team was able to move things around to accommodate for me, which I was really thankful for. Afterwards, I went straight into surgery. Annette followed up with me before and after the procedure, picked up medications for me, and even sent me pumpkin juice to help with swelling. A week after surgery, I returned for a post-op check with Dr. Cho and had my stitches removed by the nurse who was gentle and quick. I also had the option for an anti-swelling shot and red light therapy (included in initial cost) which I appreciated. Overall, I’m happy with my results and my experience at VAVA Clinic! I’m still waiting for swelling to go down completely (takes a few months) but I am already satisfied with my results and my concern was fully addressed. I highly recommend Dr. Cho and the team at VAVA.

Since Choi Junhee went to one place, I also received treatment from the same director, and it was truly a complete transformation ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Highly recommend ㅠㅠㅠ

My hooked nose was really severe, but the director saved me ㅠ Now I can take side profile photos too, so I'm really happy 🥰👍🏻

I was considering double eyelid revision surgery, and when I heard that Dr. Kim had opened his own practice, I went for a consultation. First, the manager and staff were very kind and I felt reassured. The doctor's consultation was also satisfactory as he listened carefully to my concerns while examining me. I was relieved that he considered not only my current eye condition but also the right timing for the surgery.

Thank you for your kind consultation.
