Who is Dr. Lee Yoo-jung?
Dr. Lee Yoo-jung is the chief director of UE Plastic Surgery (유이성형외과) on Gangnam-daero, by Sinsa Station. She is a board-certified plastic surgeon with 14 years of experience since certification, graduated in medicine from Ajou University and previously served as a director at Banobagi.
In our clinic, the surgeon you meet at consultation is the surgeon who operates and who sees you at every follow-up — there is no hand-over to another doctor. She performs the full range of nose surgery, from primary rhinoplasty and tip plasty to complex revision rhinoplasty.
Why do patients choose a female rhinoplasty surgeon?
- Comfort — many women, and some men, simply find it easier to talk openly with a female doctor.
- Cultural and religious preference — female surgeon, female staff options and private rooms.
- Continuity — one doctor plans, operates and follows up.
- A restrained aesthetic — changes sized to your face rather than to a trend.
- Clear communication — consultations in English, with time for questions.
Good results depend on training and judgement, not gender. We simply offer the choice — and the continuity — that many patients ask for.

Dr. Lee Yoo-jung · Chief DirectorHonest advice before choosing a surgeon
Whoever you choose, ask who will actually perform the operation, how revisions are handled, and how long you need to stay. Rhinoplasty carries real risks — swelling that lasts months, asymmetry, breathing changes and a possibility of revision — and no surgeon can guarantee a result. A good consultation should leave you clearer about what is realistic, not just more excited.
