I don't actually know what I need.

The most common first message she receives

  • 01

    I don't know what I need, so I can't tell if I'm being sold.

    Not knowing the right treatment is uncomfortable enough. What makes it worse is that it leaves you unable to judge whether the plan you are handed is the one you actually needed.

  • 02

    Every clinic told me something different.

    One recommends threads, the next says filler, the third suggests a laser. They cannot all be right for the same face, and none of them explained why the others were wrong.

  • 03

    I'll have one appointment, and then I fly home.

    There is no second visit to fix a misunderstanding. Whatever is decided in that room is what you live with on the plane, and for months after.

  • 04

    Will they treat a Western face the same way?

    Korean aesthetic ideals are not identical to yours. You want the technique, not a result designed around someone else's idea of what your face should look like.

  • 05

    What if something goes wrong once I'm home?

    Your own doctor did not do this, and may not want to manage it. Nine time zones away, being told to come back in is not an answer.

  • 06

    How much of this is lost in translation?

    Consent forms, aftercare instructions, and the difference between two products you have never heard of. All of it matters, and all of it depends on being understood.

Every one of these is answerable in writing, before you book a flight. That is what the free assessment is for.

Five Questions
Worth Asking.

Ask these of any clinic in Seoul, and ask them of us first. Any good clinic can answer them plainly.

  • 01

    Who exactly is injecting me?

    Not the clinic, the person. Ask for their name and their license number, and ask whether that same person sees you on the day.

    Dr. Yu herself
  • 02

    What are they certified to teach?

    Anyone can attend a course. Far fewer are appointed to certify other doctors. Ask which manufacturer, and in what role.

  • 03

    Can they fix a complication?

    The doctors who correct other people's complications are a small group. Ask whether they treat complications, or refer them out.

  • 04

    Do they use ultrasound?

    Injecting blind is still common. Ultrasound guidance means the injector can see the vessel they are avoiding, and find filler they need to dissolve.

  • 05

    Will they answer before I pay?

    A written assessment before any deposit tells you how they will treat you after one. Ask for it in writing, in your language.

Questions

Before You Ask.

How do I verify any of this myself?

Ask us. We will send the license number, the Merz appointment letter, and the congress programmes.

Will Dr. Yu be the one treating me?

Yes. Dr. Yu performs every treatment on this page herself — the consultation, the injections, and the device treatments. Nothing is handed to another injector.

Is everything in English?

Your assessment, estimate, and follow-up arrive in English. Dr. Yu lectures to physicians internationally in English.

Why are there no prices on this page?

Plans are priced case-by-case. Instead of a teaser price, you receive a written estimate range within 72 hours of sending your form, and the final quote is confirmed only after an in-person examination.

What if something goes wrong after I fly home?

Follow-up continues remotely by WhatsApp or email, with photos reviewed by Dr. Yu herself.

Where is the clinic?

BIO Plastic Surgery, 107 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. About a one minute walk from Sinsa Station on Subway Line 3, and roughly seventy minutes from Incheon Airport.
