Girin Clinic is a leading centre for plastic and aesthetic medicine in Korea, enjoying great popularity among both locals and medical tourists.
Since its founding in 2015, the clinic has established itself as one of the country's premier medical institutions in the fields of plastic surgery and cosmetology, having received several prestigious awards.
The hospital's motto is: ‘You only live once, so make every second count. Visit the Girin clinic and make your dreams come true.’
Girin is a luxury medical facility. It uses only the most modern and effective technologies and consumables. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment.
A significant advantage of the Girin Centre is its commitment to patient safety and health. Thanks to an integrated safety system, every visitor to the clinic can be confident that they will receive the most appropriate medical procedures, which will be carried out with 100% compliance with safety protocols and without any complications.
Girin doctors never prescribe unnecessary procedures and always try to find the best solution for every medical or aesthetic problem.
In addition, there is a strong focus on the recovery process - the clinic's services include specialised post-operative programmes. These help patients recover more quickly and avoid noticeable scars.
The Girin Clinic provides a lifetime guarantee on treatment results.
In addition, Girin Clinic works closely with the British International Association of Plastic Surgery. They regularly hold experience exchange programmes, conferences, and other educational events.
Girin Clinic in Korea offers its patients the following services:
All patients at the Girin Clinic have the opportunity to consult with their attending physician before arriving in the country. This allows you not only to agree on treatment goals and methods but also to ensure that you will be working with the specialist that is right for you.
Before booking a consultation, patients need to send the doctor high-quality photos of themselves taken from different angles. Based on the request, the doctor will analyse the case and propose an individual treatment plan.
If necessary, a personal interpreter will be present at the consultation to help you communicate with the specialist. If you are fluent in English, there will be no need for an interpreter — most of the clinic's surgeons speak English very well.
After the consultation, the coordinator will contact the patient and provide an individual estimate for treatment. The clinic can also provide patients with special promotional offers.
For patients who come to Korea from abroad for treatment, a special package of services is provided to enhance comfort and peace of mind during treatment in another country. These services are included in the standard treatment package and do not require additional payment:
The two most popular procedures for which the Girin Clinic is best known are V-shaped facial contouring and zygoma reduction.
V-shaped facial contouring refers to a complex surgical procedure to reduce the lower jaw and chin, creating an attractive V-shaped form. This operation is especially popular among people from Asian countries, where small, neat faces are considered more beautiful.
When planning such an operation, the doctor takes into account a large number of factors, such as the overall proportions of the face, the shape and length of the jaw, and the size and angle of the chin. Patients undergo a 3D CT scan, and based on the images obtained, the surgeon draws up a detailed treatment plan.
When performing jaw surgery, doctors at the Girin Clinic use a technique that places incisions inside the oral cavity. Thanks to this, patients can completely avoid scars on their faces.
Unlike the traditional V-contouring method, in which the jawbone is cut into several pieces and partially reattached, Girin plastic surgeons cut the bone in one piece. This makes the procedure less traumatic and eliminates the need for bone screw fixation. In addition, this approach eliminates the risk of damage to the facial nerves.

Zygoma reduction surgery is performed to change the size and position of cheekbones, resulting in a more defined, refined and youthful facial shape.
This is a minimally invasive procedure performed endoscopically using a special device that allows surgery to be performed through minimal incisions.
During the operation, the surgeon makes an incision on the inside of the cheekbone and performs an L-shaped bone resection. Then, using an endoscopic device, the cheekbone is rotated to the required angle and secured with four screws.
This approach to cheekbone reduction surgery is unique to the Girin Clinic. It avoids the risk of skin sagging and non-union.
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular aesthetic procedures worldwide. At the Girin clinic, doctors have developed proprietary techniques that deliver the highest quality and most reliable results possible.
Each patient who comes to the clinic receives individualised care. A thorough diagnosis is carried out using Ultrasonic/Inbody technology. This provides accurate information about important body parameters such as skin density and elasticity, as these affect the extent to which the breasts can be enlarged. At the same time, the specialists at the Girin clinic are able to achieve voluptuous results even in patients with very small breasts to begin with.
Most often, one of three approaches is used for breast augmentation with silicone implants: through the armpit, through the submammary fold, or through an incision around the areola. Each has its advantages and disadvantages and is selected individually based on the patient's needs.
Advantages of breast augmentation at the Girin Clinic:
| Breast augmentation |
| Consultation with a plastic surgeon |
| Naturally shaped implants |
| Minimal incisions |
| Quick recovery |
At the Girin Clinic, experienced plastic surgeons can help patients with any problems related to the aesthetics of the nose:
Before surgery, all patients undergo 3D CT diagnostics. This allows the doctors to create an accurate computer model of the facial tissues and plan the operation in detail. Surgeons at the Girin Clinic prefer minimally invasive techniques, which reduce damage to healthy tissues and ease the postoperative period for the patient.
If it is necessary to enlarge the nose, doctors use grafts from the patient's body - cartilage tissue from the ear, ribs or inner cavity of the nose, as well as skin from the coccyx area. Thanks to this, there are no side effects associated with the use of artificial implants, and the patient receives 100% natural results.
The plastic surgeons at the Girin Clinic have extensive expertise in treating drooping eyelids, removing eye bags, performing canthoplasty (eye-widening) and age-related blepharoplasty. The clinic also performs double eyelid surgery, which is popular in Asia.
All surgeries are performed with the utmost care, safety, and minimal incisions.
A tummy tuck is a complex plastic surgery procedure performed for surgical weight loss. It is used when the patient has significant sagging of the abdominal skin, for example, after liposuction or pregnancy. In such cases, the doctor removes excess skin folds and ‘tightens’ the remaining skin to achieve a healthy, attractive appearance.
If necessary, a tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction, which is the surgical removal of excess fat. At the Girin Clinic, it is performed using the 360-degree method.
Patients also have the option of undergoing a mini tummy tuck. It is performed using a minimally invasive endoscopic technique and is less traumatic, but is only possible in cases of minor skin sagging.
The Girin Clinic is the most popular medical facility in South Korea for weight loss injections. Between June 2012 and June 2022, 1,831,378 people underwent this procedure.
Slimming injections refer to special preparations that trigger the process of fat burning. The substances used at the Girin Clinic were exclusively developed by the doctors at this hospital and belong to the third generation of slimming injections.
These drugs not only get rid of excess fat cells but also improve blood circulation throughout the body. As a result, collagen production is stimulated, which has a visually ‘lifting’, refreshing and rejuvenating effect.
This is the optimal option for people who are looking for cosmetic methods of weight loss but are not ready to undergo surgery.
The unique advantages of this procedure at the Girin Clinic include a special post-procedure programme that helps patients cope with swelling more easily and recover faster.
A facelift is a surgical procedure performed to treat age-related sagging of the skin. It can also help to get rid of wrinkles and folds, for example, in the neck area. At the Girin Clinic, facelifts are performed using minimally invasive techniques. This allows for the most natural results with minimal risk of damage to the facial nerves.
In addition, the experienced plastic surgeons at this hospital are highly skilled at hiding or camouflaging the incision sites, which are most often made along the hairline or behind the ears. As a result, any evidence of surgical intervention will be invisible.
The expert surgeons at the Girin Clinic are highly skilled in various techniques for restoring facial youthfulness:
| SMAS lifting | Performed by tightening the muscle layer of tissue, it provides immediate and long-term results |
| Mini facelift | A less intensive version of the operation, with the advantage of faster and easier recovery. |
| ULTHERA | A non-surgical method of stimulating collagen production using ultrasound. |
| Airjet | An auxiliary non-surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating and tightening the skin of the face. |
| INMODE | A laser procedure that stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, as well as breaks down fat, improving the condition of the double chin and skin elasticity. |
| OLIGIO | A procedure in which a high-frequency laser is used to apply intense heat to the skin of the face to stimulate the production of new collagen and increase tissue elasticity. |
| Titanium Lifting | A non-surgical method of restoring skin elasticity that combines three types of waves: 755 nm, 810 nm, and 1064 nm. |
| ONDA | A microwave technology used for face lifting and tightening without damaging the outer layer of the skin. |
| Thermage FLX | A fourth-generation radiofrequency device that directs focused energy into the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. |
The experts at Girin Clinic have extensive experience in using Botox and fillers for rejuvenation and cosmetic purposes. This hospital uses only the highest quality consumables. Only by consulting a qualified doctor can you be sure of the results of the procedure.
Botox and fillers are used in similar situations, but they differ in their mechanism of action. Botox removes wrinkles by immobilising muscles, while fillers are synthetic substances that are placed under the skin and smooth it out with additional volume.
Girin Clinic uses fillers produced only by the most reliable manufacturers:
Patients suffering from skin conditions can seek help from qualified dermatologists. They will take a detailed medical history, conduct all necessary examinations and help identify the root cause of the condition, based on which an effective treatment will be selected.
The clinic offers procedures such as Potenza and Skin Booster.
In addition, the Girin Clinic has its own line of skincare cosmetics. Professional dermatologists will help you choose the right skincare for both problematic skin and patients without specific complaints.
