Key Takeaways
Before the numbers, here is what patients visiting from abroad should know. Language support varies by clinic and is not recorded in the public data below, so if you need an English-speaking consultation, confirm it by phone or on the clinic's own booking page before you travel. Bring your passport or ID, a list of previous procedures and medications, and the clinic's address in Korean to show a taxi driver.
Comparing plastic surgery clinics near Hongdae Station (Hongdaeipgu-yeok, 홍대입구역) by review counts and public ratings, 드림페이스의원 (Deurimpeiseu Uiwon, "Dream Face Clinic") shows 657 Naver reviews, 368 Kakao reviews and 134 Google reviews, with a Kakao rating of 4.7 and a Google rating of 5. 봄눈피우다의원 (Bomnun Piuda Clinic) has 329 Naver reviews, 76 Kakao reviews and 1,779 Google reviews, with a Kakao rating of 2.2 and a Google rating of 4.2. Both are close to Exit 4 of Hongdae Station. Ratings and review counts alone cannot tell you how a procedure will turn out or whether a clinic suits you, and the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data does not confirm the number of plastic surgery specialists at either clinic. "Recommendation" here simply means a clinic worth putting on your shortlist for a consultation based on the public data compared below; it does not guarantee medical quality or results.
How We Compared
According to the collected data summary, we analysed 1,583 Naver Place visitor reviews, 534 Kakao Map reviews and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration data. The five selected clinics have an average Kakao Map rating of 3.3. For each clinic we organised the Naver, Kakao and Google review counts and public ratings provided, actual visitor reviews, and address, opening hours and amenity information. The "total reviews" figure below is a simple sum of the Naver, blog, Kakao and Google review counts provided for each clinic. Duplicates across platforms were not checked, so it cannot be read as a count of unique visitors. Naver ratings were not in the data and are shown as "not provided" in the table. Quoted reviews are taken from the sentences provided, with emoji and decorative symbols removed.
드림페이스의원 (Dream Face Clinic)
드림페이스의원 is on the 2nd floor of 동성빌딩, 서울 마포구 양화로 196 동성빌딩 2층 (2F, Dongseong Building, 196 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul), listed as 118 m from Exit 4 of Hongdae Station. In the provided data its Kakao rating is 4.7 and its Google rating is 5. It has 657 Naver reviews, 566 blog reviews, 368 Kakao reviews and 134 Google reviews, for a combined total of 1,725. Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration lists its departments as plastic surgery and dermatology, but the number of plastic surgery specialists is not confirmed in the provided data. Visitor reviews mention experiences with 온다리프팅 (Onda lifting), double-eyelid revision consultations and fillers. Reviews are individual experiences, so it is better not to treat them as evidence of how a procedure will turn out.
"I was really stressed because my double chin would not budge, but the Onda lifting was more manageable than I expected. I really hate pain, and at this level I would do it again." (Dear1, 28 September 2026)
"One eyelid kept folding into a double crease and it bothered me, but the director looked at my existing line first and explained the parts I was curious about, so I feel relaxed about going ahead." (Jklove2, 19 September 2026)
Hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 10:00–20:00 Thursday, and 10:00–16:00 Saturday; no Sunday information was provided. Lunch hours are not in the data. Booking, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, a waiting area, simple payment and parking are listed. Before visiting, call to confirm whether the consultation or procedure you want can be booked and what the parking conditions are. In the consultation it is practical to ask specifically about revision surgery, your surgical history, the change you are hoping for, and aftercare precautions. Phone 02-337-0057.
봄눈피우다의원 (Bomnun Piuda Clinic)
봄눈피우다의원 is on the 3rd floor of 대영빌딩, 서울 마포구 양화로 192 대영빌딩 3층 (3F, Daeyeong Building, 192 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul), listed as 62 m from Exit 4 of Hongdae Station. Its Kakao rating is 2.2 and its Google rating is 4.2, with 329 Naver reviews, 379 blog reviews, 76 Kakao reviews and 1,779 Google reviews, for a combined total of 2,563. That is the highest combined review count of the five, but ratings differ from platform to platform, so it is better not to judge from one platform alone. The number of plastic surgery specialists under Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service criteria is not in the provided data. Visitor reviews concentrate on lip filler consultations and treatments, and one reviewer's satisfaction does not guarantee the same result for anyone else.
"They say this is the holy grail for lip filler and it's true. It came out naturally pretty and I'm completely satisfied." (uxrn****, 22 October 2026)
"I said my upper lip was thinner than my lower lip and the corners turned down, and that I wanted that improved. It came out exactly the shape I wanted and I'm very satisfied." (qxf7****, 21 October 2026)
Hours are 10:30–20:00 Monday, 11:00–19:30 Tuesday and Friday, 10:30–18:00 Wednesday and Thursday, and 10:00–15:00 Saturday. Sunday and lunch hours are not in the data. Booking, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, pets allowed and parking are listed. Reviews mention visiting at opening time and waiting, but wait times vary by date and situation, so check booking and same-day availability. For filler consultations it is worth asking directly not only about the shape you want but also about the product used, the change you can expect, possible side effects, aftercare and any plan for a follow-up visit. Phone 02-6925-1215.
얼루어성형외과의원 (Eollueo Plastic Surgery Clinic)
얼루어성형외과의원 is in Room 302 of LG팰리스빌딩, 서울 마포구 양화로 156 LG팰리스빌딩 302호 (302, LG Palace Building, 156 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul), listed as 47 m from Exit 9 of Hongdae Station. Its Google rating is listed as 5, but the Google review count is provided as 0, so it is hard to tell what that rating is based on. It has 232 Naver reviews, 90 blog reviews, 87 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews, for a combined total of 409. Naver and Kakao ratings were not provided, and the number of plastic surgery specialists under Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service criteria and the amenity information are not in the data. Reviews cover Density consultations, lip filler consultations and experiences of being talked through the procedure beforehand. Actual visitor comments are reference material only; they do not verify the medical team's expertise or the outcome of a procedure.
"I was worried about skin elasticity, so I had a consultation and treatment for Density. They explained everything in advance, from the anaesthesia to the sensation I might feel during the procedure, which was good." (태소서, 20 October 2026)
"It was my first time getting lip filler and I went after looking into several options; they consulted in detail about shape and volume before the procedure and explained the aftercare as well." (익명51595863, 19 October 2026)
Hours are 10:30–20:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 10:00–15:00 Saturday; no information was provided for Wednesday and Sunday. Lunch hours, how to book and whether parking is available could not be confirmed in the data. Before visiting, call 02-6951-1616 to check the clinic days and whether booking and parking are possible. At the consultation, ask for an explanation tailored to your own situation covering the differences between procedures, the sensation and recovery you can expect, and aftercare precautions. Even if reviews mention that explanations were thorough, the information you need should be confirmed in your own consultation.
닥터포유의원 합정 (Dakteo Po Yu Clinic, Hapjeong)
닥터포유의원 합정 is on the 4th floor of 서교제일빌딩, 서울 마포구 양화로 64 서교제일빌딩 4층 (4F, Seogyo Jeil Building, 64 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul), 33 m from Exit 3 of 합정역 (Hapjeong Station). Given the clinic name and location, it is more accurate to treat it as a Hapjeong Station option than as a clinic right by Hongdae Station. The provided data lists a Google rating of 5 but a Google review count of 0, with 338 Naver reviews, 1,382 blog reviews and 0 Kakao reviews, for a combined total of 1,720. Kakao and Naver ratings were not provided, and the number of plastic surgery specialists is not confirmed. The actual review content centres on hair loss consultations and scalp care. If you are looking for plastic surgery, check first whether the clinic provides the treatment you want.
"I was looking for a clinic that treats female hair loss and came after reading reviews; the doctor looked at my scalp condition and explained the care plan carefully, which was good." (Tlswjddn, 23 October 2026)
"I was diagnosed with hair loss, the doctor explained it kindly and I think the treatment is satisfactory. I'll keep going back for regular treatment." (lee****, 15 October 2026)

Booking, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, simple payment and parking are listed. Visitor reviews include cases of being seen straight after booking with no wait or waiting less than 10 minutes, but this cannot be taken as a typical wait time. Call 0507-1353-8840 first to ask about booking and parking conditions, the clinic's departments and whether plastic surgery consultations are available.
연세자연미성형외과의원 (Yonsei Jayeonmi Plastic Surgery Clinic)
연세자연미성형외과의원 is in Room 502 of 신촌 르메이에르타운5차, 서울 서대문구 신촌로 109 신촌 르메이에르타운5차 502호 (502, Sinchon Lemaire Town 5, 109 Sinchon-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul), 75 m from Exit 4 of 신촌역 (Sinchon Station). It is near Sinchon Station rather than in Hongdae Station, so the travel distance should be compared separately. Its Kakao rating is 3 and its Google rating is 3.3. It has 27 Naver reviews, 587 blog reviews, 3 Kakao reviews and 1 Google review, for a combined total of 618. The number of plastic surgery specialists under Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service criteria is not in the provided data. Reviews cover quite different experiences, such as the cost of a sebaceous cyst consultation, lower eyelid surgery consultations and keloid scar treatment, so it is worth looking at the content by treatment type.
"I was nervous because it was my first visit, but the director and the staff treated me kindly. Thanks to that I had my treatment without trouble." (wl****, 3 March 2026)
"I had a severe keloid scar and received injection treatment. It improved after four sessions, and they explained things kindly, so I was satisfied." (구름노을49, 30 July 2024)
Hours are 09:30–17:30 Monday to Friday and 09:30–13:00 Saturday; no Sunday information was provided. Lunch hours are not in the data. Booking, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms and parking are listed. Reviews also include one person's experience of the cost of removing a sebaceous cyst, but that amount cannot be treated as the clinic's current standard price. Before visiting, call 0507-1414-4552 to check which treatments are available, the cost of consultation, tests and surgery, and booking and parking conditions. If you are consulting about surgery, it is better to hear directly about the expected effects and limits and the guidance on scarring and recovery before deciding.

Checklist for Choosing a Plastic Surgery Clinic
- Check the services — confirm by phone or through official information whether the clinic actually consults on and treats the surgery or procedure you want. This is also the point to ask whether an English-speaking consultation is available.
- Check the medical staff — ask the clinic directly whether the doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon and who will be in charge of your case. Specialist numbers could not be confirmed in this data.
- Check who consults — confirm who handles the consultation and the treatment, and whether you can speak with the medical staff before the procedure.
- Ask about expected results and limits — get an explanation not only of what can change but also of what is hard to achieve and how results vary between individuals.
- Check side effects and recovery — ask about expected discomfort, recovery time, precautions and how to make contact if something goes wrong.
- Check the cost items — ask item by item whether consultation, tests, procedures, surgery and aftercare carry separate charges.
- Check the treatment plan — see whether the method or product and the criteria behind the plan are explained in a way that fits your condition and needs.
- Check booking and waiting — confirm whether booking is required, whether same-day visits are possible, and the conditions for changes and cancellations.
- Check transport and parking — check the actual walking route as well as the distance from the exit, and whether parking is available and on what terms.
- Read reviews with care — treat review counts and ratings as reference material, and weigh whether they are advertising, the differences between platforms and when they were written.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Be cautious if a clinic guarantees results or says everyone will get the same effect without examining and explaining your individual condition; ask enough questions and decide carefully.
- If it is hard to get specific answers about side effects, recovery and the limits of a procedure, consider an additional consultation or a second opinion.
- If you are pushed to pay before the cost breakdown, extra charges and cancellation or change conditions are clearly explained, check the details first and then decide.
- Do not judge whether a doctor is a specialist or what the medical staff's credentials are from online ratings or reviews alone. Verify what you need separately with the clinic and with official sources such as the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service.
