Philosophy
In their own words
There was a time when plastic surgery meant putting a knife to your face, and people kept their distance from it. That has changed. For a new generation it has become part of how people look after themselves. In their twenties, patients want to be at their brightest; around a wedding, they want to hold on to the best version of themselves. Then work and raising children wear that person down until they feel tired and faded; and as the years add weight, they want to set a little of it down and return to a time when they felt most like themselves. All of it comes back to the same thing — wanting to live a happy life.
How they work
Three things IM YOUNG MIN holds to
All-round surgeon
I am a board-certified plastic surgeon who operates across every field — eyes, nose, breast, body, anti-ageing and facial contouring. With that range of experience behind me, I recommend only the operations you actually need, and leave out the ones you do not.
Somewhere you can relax
Being genuinely useful to one person matters more to me than seeing as many patients as possible. I operate the way I would on my own family — only what is needed — and I try to keep the procedures around surgery, before and after, as simple as they can be.
Sharing Korean plastic surgery
Plastic surgery in Korea is a culture in its own right, and one of the ways people here look after themselves. My part in it is to explain that culture honestly, and to pass on good technique safely and effectively.
