RNWOOD PLASTIC SURGERY

I learned about this clinic from a trusted doctor in Japan who recommended it to me.<br><br>Dr. Ryu Min-hee at RNWood is known for teaching other doctors in the field of facelifts. Since the Japanese doctor is also highly respected, I was quite nervous at first, but when I actually met him, he was very kind and provided me with consultations twice.<br><br>People around me said, 'Isn't it too early?' and I honestly had some doubts. But I truly believe it was worth it.<br><br>I want to live today, the youngest day of my life, in the cutest way possible.<br><br>Thinking about it, I’m glad I decided to consult with the doctor instead of gradually continuing with threads, Botox, and hyaluronic acid.<br><br>Even now, I receive compliments from those around me, which makes me very happy.<br><br>It's only been a month since the surgery, so I still feel some tightness, but other than that, I haven't had any particular troubles. I understand that it takes time to see the final results, so I'm looking forward to the changes ahead.<br><br>Also, I like the shape of my earlobes better now than before the surgery! This was an unexpected and delightful change since it wasn't something we discussed beforehand (laughs).<br><br>The staff were all really kind. I believe I was able to stay positive after the surgery thanks to everyone. By the way, the interpreter was also a really nice person and provided great support.<br><br>Thank you, Dr. Ryu Min-hee and all the staff!

Hello<br>I'm 3 months post-surgery. A year ago, I had a "Full house": Deep Plane Facelift, Submentoplasty, Fat Graft, and Endoscopic Forehead Lift at RNWOOD, and this year I decided to add a lower blepharoplasty.<br>Dr. Ryu and the RNWOOD team provided excellent service and treatment.<br>Look at the changes and compare!<br><br>Hello guys!<br>A year has passed since my first surgeries at RNWOOD.<br>I'm very pleased with the results and decided to return for an upper blepharoplasty. Dr. Ryu and the team were at their best as usual.<br>I added 2 pictures of mine. Aug. 29th, 2026<br><br>I'm 2 months post-surgery. I had a "Full house": Deep Plane Facelift, Submentoplasty, Fat Graft, and Endoscopic Forehead Lift.<br>Dr. Ryu and the RNWOOD team provided excellent service and treatment.<br>Look at the changes and compare!<br>I'm 6 months post-surgery and found it right to edit my review.<br>I'm so happy and proud that I had the surgery at the best clinic from my perspective - RNWOOD Plastic Surgery!<br>Dr. Ryu and the team - you are amazing!<br>Look at my latest pictures and compare.

It’s been almost 2 months after my post-operative secondary facelift, neck lift, submentoplasty, and fat graft with Dr. Min Hee Ryu. Looking now at the mirror, I am pleased with the results- a facial refresh with a natural look, sagging cheeks are gone and lines on my neck are lifted. Truly good work goes unnoticed except that its results are evident: I look younger at age 62. I highly recommend Dr. Ryu and the whole RNWood consultant team for a job well done. The technique and skill of Dr. Ryu are certain and undeniably good. The staff were very helpful and accommodating before and after the aesthetic procedures: practically, I am well cared for. They are also compassionate during my recovery time. For me, i feel that I am in good hands. Every day, I had a follow up check up and examination personally by Dr. Ryu. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Healite LED theraphy were also available for quicker healing and recovery. It seems like I come again to Korea for any additional aesthetic procedures that I will be needing in the future: I am no longer worried since I found RNWood - so professional, helpful, caring and warm. Kudos to RNWood.

I visited Seoul as a tourist and decided to book consultations with five different clinics. In the end, I chose Dr. Ryu and RNWOOD.<br><br>One of the biggest reasons was that Dr. Ryu never tried to upsell me. In fact, he actually talked me out of a couple of procedures he didn’t think I needed. That gave me a lot of confidence that his recommendations were based on what was best for me, not on selling more procedures.<br><br>I had a deep plane facelift, neck lift, an endoscopic forehead lift, and fat grafting. What impressed me the most was how comfortable the recovery was. I had virtually no pain, and the bruising and swelling were surprisingly minimal.<br><br>It’s now been three months, and I’m more than happy with the results. I look younger and much more refreshed, but still completely like myself. The best compliment is that none of my family or close friends can tell I’ve had plastic surgery—they just say I look well-rested and healthier.<br><br>I’d also like to mention the atmosphere at the clinic. It feels much more like being taken care of by family than being in a medical facility. During recovery I came back every day for shampooing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and LED light treatments, which made the whole process much easier and much less stressful.<br><br>Looking back, choosing Dr. Ryu and RNWOOD was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Seoul. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for natural-looking results and a team that genuinely cares about their patientsа

I am very satisfied with the results and service. Dr Yu is great would recommend anyone who wants to go here

I had my surgery at RNWOOD Plastic Surgery, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.<br><br>From my very first consultation through every stage of my recovery, I felt I was in the hands of exceptional professionals. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ryu. He is an outstanding surgeon whose professionalism, experience, precision, and calm approach gave me complete confidence from the very beginning. If I had to make this decision again, I would choose him without a second thought.<br>What impressed me the most was the entire team at RNWOOD. Every single person I met was kind, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to caring for their patients. I never felt like just another patient. I felt seen, listened to, and truly cared for. The atmosphere in the clinic is warm, friendly, and supportive, making what could be a stressful experience feel surprisingly comfortable.<br>The surgery itself was completely painless, and my recovery from the very first hours after the procedure was much easier than I had expected. I was prepared for pain and discomfort, but instead I experienced a smooth recovery with constant support from the medical team. Whenever I needed help or had questions, someone was always there for me.<br>I traveled from Poland for my surgery, and from the moment I arrived, I felt I was in the best possible hands. Choosing to have surgery abroad naturally comes with many concerns, but thanks to the RNWOOD team, those worries disappeared very quickly.<br>I would also like to express my special thanks to Julia. Her dedication goes far beyond what anyone could expect from a patient coordinator. She was by my side throughout the entire journey, helping me with every question and even with many things that were not directly related to the surgery itself. People like Julia are truly rare. She made my stay in Korea and my entire experience not only professional but also warm, personal, and reassuring. I am deeply grateful for everything she did for me.<br>I wholeheartedly recommend RNWOOD Plastic Surgery to anyone looking for exceptional medical care, true professionalism, and genuinely personal treatment. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Ryu, Julia, and the entire RNWOOD team for their kindness, dedication, and outstanding care. If I had to make this decision again, I would choose RNWOOD without the slightest hesitation.

I did a ton of research and compared many clinics before carefully choosing this one. Dr. Ryu has a massive international reputation in the field of deep plane facelifts. The clinic serves a lot of international patients, and the staff speaks excellent English, making communication completely seamless.<br>But none of that is the main point. What matters most is my personal experience: both before and after the surgery, I felt incredibly safe because Dr. Ryu is highly professional and deeply trustworthy. I didn't experience any pain or discomfort after the procedure, and everything went much smoother than I had expected. Now, I am recovering beautifully, and I truly look refreshed and younger. I am so glad I made the right choice.

An awful experience with poor coordination between the staff and the actual surgeon. Surgeon is barely contactable and the staff are constantly absent with multiple excuses.

There is a distinct difference between correction and refinement, and not every surgeon understands where that line should be drawn. Dr. Ryu does.<br><br>My experience was defined not by dramatic change, but by subtle, intelligent adjustments that collectively created a meaningful shift. The outcome feels cohesive—nothing calls attention to itself, yet everything appears more aligned, more rested, and more intentional.<br><br>Equally noteworthy is the environment in which this care is delivered. The clinic offers a level of attentiveness that feels both structured and personal. The team anticipates needs rather than simply responding to them, and there is a quiet professionalism that underpins every interaction.<br><br>Recovery, as expected, had its moments of uncertainty, but I never felt unsupported while in Seoul. Communication was consistent, reassurance was grounded in knowledge, and there was a clear sense that patient outcomes—not just procedures—are the priority here. The recovery is slow but each day I see improvements and have a better idea of what the aesthetic outcomes will be once I am healed. That said, allow for time to recuperate as I am figuring I personally will need a good 6 weeks before I am back in the saddle.<br><br>This is a practice that understands its audience. It caters to individuals who value discretion, natural results, and a measured, intelligent approach to aesthetic medicine.<br><br>In a landscape that often rewards excess, Dr. Ryu’s work stands out for its restraint—and that, in my view, is the highest compliment one can give.

I recently had upper (with ptosis correction) and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Ryu and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Ryu’s skill and precision were truly exceptional, and the outcome looks so natural. From the initial consultation to the post-op care, every step was handled with care and professionalism. The entire team which included Ella, Julia, Melissa & Lisa were kind, reassuring, and incredibly helpful—they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and reduce any anxiety. I highly recommend Dr. Ryu and his wonderful staff for anyone considering this procedure!

얼굴과 목 주변의 처짐과 팔자주름이 점점 신경 쓰여 안면거상과 목거상 수술을 함께 고민하게 되었고, 여러 병원을 알아보던 중 AI 검색을 통해 류원장님이 딥플레인 분야에서 세계적으로 알려진 분이라는 것을 알게 되었습니다. 이후 알앤우드성형외과에서 상담을 받았는데, 상담 과정에서 수술 방법과 회복 과정에 대해 자세히 설명해 주셔서 신뢰가 생겼고 그날 바로 수술 날짜를 결정하게 되었습니다. 수술 전후로 직원분들도 매우 친절하게 안내해 주셔서 편안한 마음으로 수술과 관리를 받을 수 있었습니다. 수술 후 며칠 동안은 붓기와 약간의 불편함이 있었지만 시간이 지나면서 점점 가라앉았고 얼굴 라인과 목 라인이 함께 정리되는 변화를 느낄 수 있었습니다. 현재 3주 차로 아직 붓기는 남아 있지만 턱선과 목선이 훨씬 또렷해지고 전체적으로 자연스럽게 리프팅된 느낌이라 아주 만족하고 있습니다. 특히 수술 후 통증이 거의 없어서 놀랍고 감사한 마음이 들었으며, 실제로 외국에서 오신 분들도 많이 수술을 받고 가시는 모습을 보면서 알앤우드성형외과가 국내에서도 더 많이 알려지면 좋겠다는 생각이 듭니다.

I had an excellent experience with RNWOOD and Dr. Ryu. I had two consultations before my procedure, and both times Dr. Ryu and the staff made me feel very comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Ryu is clearly very renowned and experienced, but what really helped me make such an important decision was how at ease they made me feel throughout the process.<br><br>The entire team was very professional, warm, and attentive. Communication was clear, and they were very accommodating with the questions or concerns I had. I never felt rushed and always felt that they genuinely cared about my comfort and wellbeing.<br><br>After the procedure, I was pleasantly surprised that I did not have much bruising or swelling. It wasn’t long before I was able to return to my daily activities. One concern I had was that the back of my ears remained a little red even after I returned to Singapore. However, the RNWOOD team continued to support me through the postoperative healing process. They patiently explained what I should do and reassured me along the way, and the redness eventually went away completely.<br><br>Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my experience. From consultation to aftercare, Dr. Ryu and the entire RNWOOD staff were attentive, supportive, and highly professional. I truly felt that I was in good hands. I would definitely give them a five-star rating and highly recommend them to anyone considering treatment.

This is a jewel in Korea. I was blessed to find this place after much research and several visits to other cosmetic centers suggested by AI. Dr Ryu is most professional and well renowned international cosmetic doctor. I was impressed on my first visit when he patiently addressed all my concerns and made me feel most comfortable with such a crucial step in my life. I put my trust in him and he did not disappointed. The staff are most friendly and welcoming facilitating the process and accommodating to all your needs. They all speak English and make the recovery feel like a smooth ride. Definitely recommend Dr Ryu and his team with 5 stars!!

◆悩みと背景<br>6年ほど前に受けた脂肪吸引と歯列矯正が原因で、ほうれい線や左右差のあるコケ・皮のたるみが深刻でした。レーザーも色々と受けたが改善はされず、年齢も40代に差し掛かっていたため、数年前から切開リフトのカウンセリングめぐりをはじめました。<br><br>◆RNWOODに決めた理由<br>日本で3件、韓国で4件のクリニックにてカウンセリングを受けました。切開リフトを検討しはじめた数年内でも、様々新しい術式が出ており、先生のお話しを聞きながら、以下を判断軸に検討をしました。<br>・プリザベーションリフト法を用いてくれること。<br>・長期経過してもリフト耳になっていないこと。<br>・切開の傷跡の縫合が綺麗であること。<br>・ナチュラル志向であること。<br><br>最終的にRNWOODに決めた理由は、上記を全て網羅しているだけでなく、リュ先生の技術力と圧倒的なオペ数と知見、実際にオペされた方のリアルレビューでした。何事も丁寧に回答してくださった先生人柄も大きかったです。<br><br>カウンセリング担当の通訳さん自身がリュ先生による切開リフトを受けており、間近に経過を見せていただけたのも大きかったです。<br><br>◆カウンセリングから手術まで<br>カウンセリング当日に手術日を決め、予約金を入れましたが、当日朝まで何度も何度もキャンセルをしようか悩みました。<br>安くはない大きな手術、しかも傷跡を外側に作る手術も初めてのため、顔の造形が変わるほど違和感がでたら？麻痺が残ったら？傷跡が汚く残り一生耳を出せなくなったら？と沢山沢山悩みました。<br>ですが、リュ先生の事例の美しさは勇気をもらえるものでしたし、その中で「自信を取り戻す手段」レビューにあったことが最後の後押しになりました。<br><br>◆手術を終えて1ヶ月<br>結論、大大大満足です！！心からやって良かったと思っています。<br>まだ一部皮膚の感覚は戻っていませんが、顔面の麻痺もなく、ナチュラルだけどしっかりと引き上がっています。<br>加齢と脂肪吸引の失敗で、皮膚のたるみ・輪郭のガタつきによって、何年も真顔でいることがすごく怖かったのですが、それがなくなり表情も明るくなった気がします。傷跡はまだ目立ちますが、非常に美しく縫い合わせてくださったので、おそらく綺麗に治ると思っています。<br><br>◆RNWOODをおすすめできる理由<br>リュ先生の確かな技術は大前提ですが、それだけでなく院内でのサービスもピカイチです。<br>大きな手術だからこそ、ダウンタイム中はメンタルが乱高下します。RNWOODさんでは休診日を除いて毎日ヒールライトと高酸素カプセルでのケアや、シャンプーのサービスもあり、スタッフの皆さんは本当に優しく、ただの一度もぞんざいに扱われることがありませんでした。ダウンタイムを健やかに過ごせるか、というのは大きなポイントだと思います。<br><br>不自然ではなく、ナチュラルにリバースエイジングをしたい方には心からおすすめしたい病院です。<br>今はまだ考えていませんが、また大きな手術を検討する場合は絶対にリュ先生に相談したいと思っています。本当にありがとうございました！

I am from China. I often travel between China and Korea for skin treatments, and every time I go to Korea, I stay at the same guesthouse. There is a big community there, and many people get different procedures like facial contouring surgery and lifting.<br><br>Last year, I met a patient from RNWOOD who just had a facelift. When I saw her, it was only 9 days after her surgery. I was very surprised because her incision line looked so clean and her recovery was very fast. After I saw her, I immediately booked a consultation. After the consultation, I paid the deposit and reserved my surgery date.<br><br>Honestly, I wanted to get a facelift for 5–6 years. During that time, I went to many clinics and had many consultations. Once, at another clinic, I saw a facelift patient and her result scared me, so I hesitated for a long time. But finally, I got the courage to do it. Now I am very happy with my decision.<br><br>Dr. Ryu is very reputable, and the surgery is worth every penny. The sagging on my face improved a lot. The results are even better than I expected, and my recovery was very fast.<br><br>The consultant who took care of me could speak Chinese and stayed with me the whole time. On the fifth day after surgery, I really wanted to eat tteokbokki, a Korean rice cake dish. There is a small stand near the clinic that sells very delicious tteokbokki. I didn’t have cash and I can’t speak Korean. My consultant walked with me to the stand and even offered to send the money to the owner after I finished eating. I was very touched by this.<br><br>I truly recommend this clinic, 10/10. I feel like I am in my 20s again, and my confidence is much higher now.

At 63 I was feeling that I looked tired and could see how my skin had lost it's elasticity and was sagging especially around my neck, cheeks and jawline. I'm not someone who treats themselves to beauty treatments and I don't do fillers, botox, etc so thinking of a deep plane facelift & neck lift was huge for me. I came across Dr Ryu's name while researching surgeons who were highly skilled in this procedure. This plastic surgery journey was so foreign to me so to find a surgeon with his level of qualifications and also have experience with western faces gave me great peace of mind. I had my surgery in late December and am delighted with my results. I wanted a natural look and still wanted to look like 'me'. This was really important. I flew to Seoul from Australia and from the minute I walked in for surgery I was given Dr Ryu's and his staff undivided attention. They make you feel at ease and really look after you. The care I received during and after my surgery was nothing short of amazing. I also expected some pain after the surgery but was surprised that it was painless and I can barely see my stitches, even at 4 weeks. This blows me away and is testament to Dr Ryu's incredible skill. This was by far the best decision I could have made and a huge thank you to DR Ryu and the team.

二重顎と輪郭のラインがはっきりしないことに長年悩んでいて、こちらでフェイスリフト・ネックリフト・脂肪移植を受けました。<br>これまでに脂肪吸引や HIFU、高周波、糸リフト、もちろんダイエットなども含めて様々な手段を試しましたが、どれも満足いく結果にはならず、特に3回行った脂肪吸引で瘢痕組織が出来て大変後悔し、これ以上改善することはないだろうと諦めていました。<br>それから年齢を重ねたるみがより目立つようになり、一度は諦めたもののやっぱりどうにかしたいと一念発起し、改善手段を探しに日本や韓国でたくさんのカウンセリングを受けました。<br>脂肪吸引の失敗経験から、骨格から根本改善が必要なのでは？と両顎手術で口元を前に出す手術までも検討していましたが、Ryu 先生のカウンセリングでは、私の顔のバランスを見て「両顎手術は必要ない」ときっぱり言ってくださいました。<br>それだけでなく、失敗に対しての不安が強かったため紙に質問事項をたくさん書いてカウンセリングに二度も伺ったのですが、全ての質問についてはっきりとした出来ること、出来ないことの回答を下さいました。<br>この経験から「この先生に任せてもだめだったら、きっぱり諦められるだろう」と確信できたため、手術を決めました。<br><br>手術の当日、先生からは「二重顎は少し残るかもしれないけど、最善を尽くします」と仰って頂けて、落ち着いた気持ちで手術に望むことができました。<br>手術を終え麻酔から醒めたとき、少し眠たくぼーっとはするものの、痛みや気持ち悪さは全く無く、負担の軽さに驚いた覚えがあります。調べた限り、フェイスリフト手術を受けた直後は強い痛みや腫れがあるものだと覚悟していたので。<br><br>手術翌日に術後ケアのシャンプーのためフェイスバンドを外してもらったとき、これまで見たことのないレベルで引き上がった自分の輪郭を見て、「私って本当はこんな輪郭してたんだ！」ととても嬉しくなりました。<br>この時点で仕上がりへの期待はもう最高潮です。それに前日に手術を受けたとは思えない元気さで、術後ケアのあとにはタトゥーを彫りに行き、望遠市場でカルグクスを食べました。<br><br>術後ケアは本当に手厚く、毎日高圧酸素カプセルと腫れケアのヒーライト、先生による傷跡チェック、優秀なスタッフの皆さんによる手際の良い傷跡消毒とフェイスバンド圧迫などを処置してくださいます。またフェイスバンドをしている間は自分でシャンプーが出来なかったので、シャンプーサービスがあったのはとてもありがたかったです。<br>術後一週間の頃、患部に水が溜まってしまいドレンとフェイスバンドを再装着することになりましたが、経過そのものは問題なく、処置が必要な理由をしっかり説明してくださったので、不安になることなく術後ケアに通い続けることが出来ました。<br>何よりスタッフの皆さんはとてもフレンドリーで優しく、毎日の会話が楽しみでした。<br><br>手術から10日後に日本へ帰国し、その2日後に友人に会いましたが、「なんか痩せた？と思ったくらい自然！」「横顔もすごくきれい」「手術してたったの12日目とは思えない」「傷跡がきれいすぎる」と大絶賛されました。<br>そして手術から1ヶ月後がこちらの写真です。写真写りが良くないので伝わるか不安ですが、特に斜めからの写真は引き上がり具合がわかりやすいと思います。<br>もちろん画像の加工は全くしていません。<br>まだ腫れは完全に引いていないのと、傷跡の完治もまだ先なのでケアの気は抜けませんが、既に満足しています。<br>不意に写真を撮られることも以前より怖くなくなりましたし、この調子で効果を維持できるように食事管理や健康についてより意識がポジティブに向くようになりました。<br><br>今回の手術では、先生の技術が素晴らしいことはもちろん、ケア体制もすごくしっかりしていて、単に手術を受けに来たというよりトータルの「体験」として心地よく過ごせました。<br>フェイスリフトは一生に何度も受けるものではないと思うので、そのうちの1回を RNWOOD で受けられて本当に良かったなと思います。そして、また10年後もここで手術を受けたいです。

2025年12月末に韓国のRNWOOD整形外科で、フェイスリフト、ネックリフト、下眼瞼脂肪再配置、脂肪移植、表ハムラの施術を受けました。<br>フェイスリフトとネックリフトの仕上がりは理想に近く、全体として満足しています。<br>表ハムラについては、目の下に小さな傷跡があり、現在は経過を観察している段階です。<br>また、術後しばらく経った今も、ほっぺたや首に痛みは残っていますが、想定の範囲内だと感じており、腫れが完全に引くのが楽しみです。<br><br>クリニックのスタッフの皆さん、日本語通訳の方、看護師さんまで含めて、とても丁寧で優しく対応してくださいました。特に日本語通訳の方は、こちらが聞きづらいことも先回りして確認してくださり、常に患者側の立場で寄り添ってくれる姿勢に安心感がありました。<br>この通訳さんの存在が、RNWOOD整形外科を選んだ大きな決め手です。術後は毎日酸素カプセルに通うことができ、ダウンタイム中の精神的な不安がかなり軽減されました。<br>先生とも少しずつお話しする機会があり、不安な点をその都度解消できたのも良かったです。<br><br>追伸：韓国の生活に慣れておらず、食事面でサラダ不足になっていた私を気遣って、クリニックの方がサラダを宅配で用意して渡してくださいました。施術だけでなく、こうした細やかな心配りまでしていただけたことが本当に嬉しく、ありがたかったです。<br><br>総合的に満足であり、フェイスアップの整形を検討されている方にはおすすめできるクリニックだと思います。
