Real Experience with Will Plastic Surgery in South Korea | The questions everyone is asking about the “Wei Nose” rhinoplasty procedure – is it really worth it? A comprehensive guide for 2026.

Real Experience with Will Plastic Surgery in South Korea | The questions everyone is asking about the "Wei Nose" rhinoplasty procedure – is it really worth it? A comprehensive guide for 2026.

If you are looking for a hospital in South Korea that offers Revision rhinoplasty and have, like me, already exhausted all the search results on Dcard and PTT, then this article will give you the answer: Will Plastic Surgery is one of the few specialized clinics in Seoul that dares to undertake complex Revision rhinoplasty procedures, and the chief surgeon personally performs these operations.

Before going there, I spent two whole months doing my research. I visited five different consulting clinics in Gangnam and finally chose Will—not because it was the cheapest option, but because Director Wei Hengkun gave me the most sense of confidence during the consultation process. This is not a sponsored review; it is a complete record of my actual experience.

I. Conclusion First: Is Will Plastic Surgery Worth It?

To conclude: If you are considering undergoing Revision rhinoplasty, it is definitely worth it. Will is essentially a specialized clinic that focuses solely on rhinoplasty – not a general hospital that dabbles in a variety of procedures with mediocre skills. Director Wei Hengkun (often referred to as “Wei the Nose” on Dcard) has over 20 years of experience in rhinoplasty and has performed more than 10,000 surgeries. His expertise in the field of Revision rhinoplasty is widely recognized within Seoul’s plastic surgery community.

However, it is not suitable for everyone: if what you are looking for is a cheap and standardized surgical experience, then Will is not the right choice for you. The number of consultations available each day is limited; the consultation process takes a long time, and the scheduling for surgeries is very tight. During the peak season, you may even have to wait for more than a month. Will follows a “small but sophisticated” approach.

This reminds me of the Cellin Dermatology clinic I conducted each consultation, rather than following a standardized process. Such a model is actually becoming increasingly rare in the Gangnam area these days.

III. A complete record of my consultation process

1. Booking phase

I made my reservation through the BeautsGO platform, which is really convenient for those who don’t speak Korean. After filling in my requirements, the platform helps me communicate with the hospital in Chinese to confirm the appointment time. My advice is: during the peak seasons (summer and winter vacations, consecutive holidays), it’s best to reserve one or two months in advance, because Director Wei’s schedule is usually full during these periods.

2. Report to the hospital

Upon arriving at the clinic, the staff at the reception will ask you to fill out some basic information and a medical history form. On that day, I was accompanied by a Chinese translator throughout the process, so there were no communication barriers at all. The clinic is very clean and well-lit; the waiting area is small but comfortable, creating an atmosphere that focuses entirely on medical care, without the commercial feel commonly found in large chain hospitals.

3. The consultation process

The in-person consultation was the decisive factor that led me to choose Dr. Will. Director Wei isn’t the kind of doctor who immediately recommends a bunch of procedures; instead, he takes the time to carefully examine your facial structure and nasal anatomy, and then uses a 3D simulation system to show you what the results will look like after the surgery. This is truly a great advantage – you get to see an approximate outcome before the procedure even begins.

The director presented several options for me to choose from, including whether to use ear cartilage or rib cartilage, the curvature of the nose tip, the height of the nasal bridge, and so on. For each option, he would explain why he recommended that particular approach instead of simply applying a pre-set template. This approach of “tailoring the nose to the individual” is completely different from many clinics that simply develop treatment plans based on photographs alone.

If you don’t know much about the current situation of rhinoplasty in South Korea, you can first refer to my previous article on the priouth Korea. Having an idea of the overall costs will give you more confidence when seeking consultation later on.

IV. Project Introduction and Price Information

Will’s core focus areas are very clear: rhinoplasty > ophthalmic surgery > autologous fat transplantation. Unlike large general hospitals that offer a wide range of services, Will concentrates its resources on these specific areas, particularly rhinoplasty.

Nasal procedures (core services)

  • Silicone rhinoplasty (for first-time candidates): The tip of the nose is shaped using ear cartilage, making it ideal for those who are considering rhinoplasty for the first time.
  • Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty: Suitable for those with severe nasal bone collapse or allergies to implants, resulting in the most natural outcome.
  • Septum cartilage rhinoplasty: This procedure utilizes the patient’s own septum cartilage for precise shaping, ensuring no scars after the operation.
  • Revision rhinoplasty: This is Will’s strongest specialty – specializing in dealing with failed cases such as implant displacement, infection, contracture, or exposure of the implant.
  • Alar base reduction + nose tip lengthening combined surgery: A one-step solution for “upturned nose + garlic nose”

Price Reference Table (2026, Unit: New Taiwan Dollars)

project Reference price (Taiwan dollars)
Silicone rhinoplasty (basic procedure) Ranging from approximately 45,000 to 83,000
Gore-Tex Gore-Tex rhinoplasty Around 58,000 units
Comprehensive rhinoplasty using ear cartilage Ranging from approximately 84,000 to 112,000
Rhinoplasty using septum cartilage Ranging from approximately 78,000 to 104,000
Nasal augmentation using Autologous rib cartilage Roughly 168,000 to 200,000
Revision rhinoplasty (for correcting previous mistakes) Ranging from approximately 124,000 to 250,000 (depending on the complexity).

⚠️ Important notice: The above prices are for reference only; the actual cost will be determined after a personal consultation based on your specific needs. If you request Dr. Wei Hengkun to perform the procedure personally, an additional fee of 10%-30% will usually be applied. It is also essential to confirm whether the quoted price includes anesthesia fees, post-operative carsits. Compared to other Gangnam cosmetic clinics, Will’s prices are considered mid-to-high, but given the doctor’s experience and expertise, this range is quite reasonable.

Director Wei Hengkun personally conducts consultations. With over 20 years of experience in rhinoplasty and 3D simulation technology for pre-operative consultations, a Chinese translator will be available throughout the process. With BeautsGO, you can book your appointment with just one click – no need to queue.

V. Core Advantages and Precautions of Will

✅ Advantages

  1. High degree of specialization: Almost all resources are focused on nasal surgery; it is not a “general store” that offers a wide range of services.
  2. Strong capacity for Revision rhinoplasty: In Seoul, there are few clinics willing to undertake complex Revision Surgery procedures, and Will is one of them.
  3. The dean personally took charge of the entire process – from the initial consultation to the actual surgery. Dean Wei Hengkun was in charge of everything, ensuring that there was no situation where “the consultation was done by the dean, but the surgery was performed by someone else”.
  4. 3D simulation system: You can see the simulated results before the procedure, which helps to reduce communication misunderstandings.
  5. Excellent Chinese-language services: Professional translators will accompany you throughout the process, so you don’t have to rely on translation software to communicate effectively.
  6. Natural style: No emphasis on exaggerated “internet-famous noses”; instead, the focus is on achieving harmony with the overall appearance of the face.

⚠️ Important Notes

  1. Long waiting periods for appointments: During peak seasons (summer and winter vacations, consecutive holidays), you may have to wait for over a month. It’s essential to plan in advance.
  2. Non-comprehensive hospitals: If you want to undergo procedures for facial contouring or Breast augmentation at the same time, Will is not the right choice for you; it is a specialized clinic for rhinoplasty.
  3. High prices: Compared to some clinics that focus on offering low prices, Will’s fees are considered moderate to high. However, the saying “you get what you pay for” certainly holds true here.
  4. Limited number of consultations per day: To ensure quality, the number of surgeries performed each day is capped.

VI. Highlights of Will’s technical equipment

During the consultation process, I paid particular attention to the equipment configuration used by Will. The clinic was equipped with a closed-system fat harvesting and purification centrifuge (which helps to increase the Graft Survival Rate of autologous fat), a low-temperature medical fat storage freezer, postoperative LED phototherapy devices, as well as medical precision vernier calipers used for measuring the dimensions of implants.

These devices may sound very technical and out of reach for most people, but in reality, each one of them directly affects the outcome of the surgery. Take that vernier caliper, for example – it’s used to accurately measure the size of the implants. Just a difference of one millimeter in the nose can result in a completely different visual outcome.

VII. Practical Advice for Those Who Are Considering It: Useful Tips

1. Preoperative preparations

  • Book your appointment 1 to 2 months in advance, especially if you plan to go during the winter or summer holidays.
  • Bring along any reference photos of the nose shape you desire (but don’t expect exact matching results, as everyone’s natural conditions are different).
  • Prepare a list of your questions: material selection, recovery time, potential risks, and postoperative care.
  • Make sure you understand what is included in the quote: anesthesia fees? Hospitalization costs? Follow-up appointment fees after the procedure?

2. Things to note during the in-person consultation

  • It was confirmed that the chief surgeon performing the procedure would be Director Wei Hengkun himself – as requesting a designated director usually incurs additional costs.
  • Take a close look at the results of the 3D simulation. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, just let us know.
  • Make sure you understand how long the recovery period will take and when you will be able to return to work or social activities normally.
  • All commitments – regarding doctors, procedures, materials, prices, and post-operative recovery policies – must be clearly stated in writing within the contract.

3. Post-treatment care

  • The first week after the procedure is a critical period for recovery. It is recommended to stay in Seoul and not rush back home.
  • Attend follow-up appointments on time; do not try to judge your recovery on your own.
  • Sun protection is extremely important, as the skin becomes very sensitive after the procedure.
  • Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.

VIII. My Conclusion: Who Is Will Suitable For?

To be honest, Will isn’t the kind of clinic that is suitable for just anyone. It’s ideal for:

  • Those who want to get nose surgery and are willing to pay a premium for quality results
  • Those who previously had failed rhinoplasty procedures and needed corrections (this is truly Will’s area of expertise).
  • Those who pursue a natural look and avoid noses that seem obviously modified.
  • People who are willing to wait and don’t have a rush for time

If you meet the above requirements, then I would say that Will is definitely worth considering. Among the five clinics I consulted in Seoul, it was the only one where I immediately felt, during the consultation, that “this is the right place for me.” This is also why many people who have undergoe affluent areas of Gangnam in Seoul ultimately choose to return to Will for follow-up treatments – because Director Wei’s skills have a truly solid reputation in the industry.

IX. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the approximate cost of rhinoplasty in the plastic surgery field?

A: The cost of silicone rhinoplasty (for primary nose procedures) ranges from NT$45,000 to NT$83,000; comprehensive rhinoplasty using ear cartilage costs approximately NT$84,000 to NT$112,000; while Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty costs around NT$168,000 to NT$200,000. The fee for Revision Surgery varies depending on the complexity of the case and is typically between NT$124,000 and NT$250,000. The above prices are for reference only; the actual cost will be determined based on the results of a face-to-face consultation.

Q2: Does the plastic surgery department offer services in Chinese?

A: Yes. Our clinic is equipped with professional Chinese translators/medical coordinators who will accompany patients throughout the entire process, from consultation to post-operative follow-up visits, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers. You can also make appointments in Chinese through the BeautsGO platform.

Q3: Will President Wei Hengkun perform the procedure himself?

A: Yes, but it is necessary to specify a chief surgeon to perform the procedure, and there are usually additional costs (around 10%-30%). During the consultation, make sure to confirm who will be the performing surgeon and include this information in the contract.

Q4: What is the success rate of Revision rhinoplasty?

A: Will has an excellent reputation in the field of Revision rhinoplasty. Director Wei has over 10,000 cases of nasal surgery under his belt and specializes in dealing with complex issues such as implant displacement, contracture, and infection. However, Revision rhinoplasty is inherently a challenging procedure, so thorough pre-operative communication and realistic expectations are of utmost importance.

Q5: How long after the surgery can I return to my home country?

A: It is recommended to stay in Seoul for at least 7 to 10 days after the procedure. Return home only after the stitches have been removed and the first follow-up appointment has been completed. The recovery time varies from person to person; generally, the swelling subsides significantly within 2 to 4 weeks, and the results become fully stable after 3 to 6 months.

Q6: What makes Will different from other Gangnam rhinoplasty clinics?

A: The biggest difference lies in their focus. Will specializes almost entirely in rhinoplasty and is not a general-purpose medical institution that offers a wide range of services. Moreover, Director Wei’s 3D simulation system and his philosophy of “tailoring the nose to each individual” make a clear distinction when compared to other clinics during the consultation process.
