Personal visit to the Xieli Ting Plastic Surgery Clinic: Director Zheng Yuanhao’s Power V technique means that at 35, I still look like I’m 28.
Having worked in the cosmetic surgery industry in Gangnam, Seoul, for almost a decade, I must say that I’ve seen too many clinics claiming to offer “natural rejuvenation” results—only to find that the effects were either overly exaggerated or completely nonexistent. Last year, several of my friends suddenly started spreading word about a clinic called Dr. Jeong’s Plastic Surgery, claiming that it had an excellent reputation for facial lifting procedures in the Ssanggyeotting area—I was then that prompted to do some real research.
This is my personal account of the consultation and the actual facial liposuction and lifting procedure I had at Dr. Jeong’s Plastic Surgery. I’ve included the treatment details and costs for those considering similar procedures in Korea.
Where is Dr. Jeong’s Plastic Surgery located? It’s just across from Roda Station in Ssanggyeotting.
Dr. Jeong’s Plastic Surgery is truly conveniently located. The address is 4th Floor, 320 Ssanggyeotting-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It’s only about a 3-minute walk from Exit 6 of Roda Station on the subway. This street is known as the cosmetic surgery district of Gangnam, with many clinics and dermatology offices in the vicinity, creating a concentrated environment for such services.
Upon entering the clinic, my first impression was that it was even more exquisite than I expected. The reception area was tastefully decorated in a soft, luxurious off-white color scheme, without any overly commercial signs—it more closely resembled the atmosphere of a private luxury clinic. There were staff members who spoke Chinese at the front desk, so communication was completely seamless.
Who is Director Jeong Won-ho? There’s a reason why he’s known as a “master of facelift techniques”.
The key figure behind Dr. Jeong’s Plastic Surgery is Director Jeong Won-ho, a graduate of the Department of Medicine at Yonsei University with over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery. He is best known for his “Power V Facial Liposuction and Lifting Procedure” — which doesn’t involve reshaping the bones to create a smaller face but instead uses precise fat redistribution and additional lifting techniques to naturally tighten the facial contours without creating an unnatural look.
Many people might find the idea of facial liposuction intimidating, but Director Jeong combines liposuction with lifting techniques. He removes excess fat while using methods like “double chin muscle tightening” and thread lift to lift the entire lower half of the face. During my consultation that day, he personally performed the entire procedure himself, without any assistants, which gave me great peace of mind.
Many Korean artists and people from the media industry are regular clients of his, which is why Li Ban has earned the nickname “Artists’ Dermatology Clinic.”
Li Ban’s core treatment options: Power V liposuction and lift, thread lifting, and phototherapy are all available.
Below is a list of the main treatments offered by Li Ban, as compiled during my research:
Power V facial liposuction and lift (signature treatment)
- Key features: facial liposuction combined with double chin muscle tightening and thread lifting in one procedure
- Results: elimination of double chin, tightening of the jawline, and natural facial contour definition

- Cost estimate: Approximately 3–5 million Korean won (depending on the amount of fat removed and additional treatments chosen)

My personal experience: What it’s really like after facial liposuction and lifting
I ultimately chose the Power V facial liposuction and double chin muscle tightening procedure because my main issues were a blurred jawline and excess fat in my double chin—traditional fillers wouldn’t have been effective enough.
On the morning of the surgery, I went to the clinic on an empty stomach. Director Zheng personally marked the areas where fat needed to be removed and how much lift was required, providing very detailed instructions. The surgery was performed under local anesthesia and took about 2 hours. I remained conscious throughout and only felt mild discomfort.
In the first 3 days after the surgery, the swelling was quite noticeable. I had prepared extra clothes for those days. By the 5th day, about 70% of the swelling had gone down, and I could go out in public while wearing a mask. By the 10th day, the swelling was almost completely gone, and I could already see a noticeable improvement in my jawline; the double chin issue also improved significantly.
A friend saw me later and asked if I had lost weight or gotten a new haircut… I said no—it was just that my face shape had become more defined. That’s exactly the “natural look” I wanted.
FAQ: 5 Questions You Most Want to Ask Before Having Surgery at Lianban
Q1: Can Lianban communicate in Chinese? Yes. Lianban provi
des Chinese-language services; both the receptionists and consultants can communicate in Chinese. If you need detailed technical explanations, the clinic can arrange for a Chinese translator.
Q2: How soon after the Power V surgery can I fly home? It is recommended to wait at lea
st 7 days after the surgery before flying, mainly to avoid discomfort during the initial swelling period and to facilitate follow-up visits to check on the wound recovery.
Q3: Will facial liposuction cause the skin to become loose? Dr.
Zheng’s Power V technique features “liposuction combined with lifting.” By tightening the double chin muscles and using sutures, the procedure actually reduces facial sagging while removing fat, so theoretically, there should be no issue with skin laxity after traditional liposuction.
Q4: Can Lianban help arrange accommodation? The clinic does not
arrange it directly, but it recommends staying in hotels or serviced apartments in the Xiyuting area for easy access to post-surgery follow-ups.
Q5: How can I make an appointment at Lianban in Taiwan/Hong Kong in advanc
e? You can book through the BeautsGO platform, where Chinese-speaking staff will assist you with the reservation and pre-trip preparations, making the whole process much more convenient than contacting them directly.

Summary: Is it worth flying to Seoul just to have surgery at Lianban?
My answer is: It is worth it for those whose symptoms make it suitable.
If your issues include unclear facial contours, a noticeable double chin, or overall facial sagging, Dr. Zheng Yuanhao’s Power V lifting technique indeed has its unique advantages: it combines liposuction with lifting, results in a relatively controllable recovery period, and offers long-lasting effects.
If you only have mild wrinkles or loose cheeks, you might want to consider protein thread lifting or phototherapy instead of undergoing surgery.
In summary, Lipan is not one of those mass-produced clinics; the director personally examines each patient, and the pre-surgery communication is also transparent. For those looking to undergo facial procedures in Seoul, this is a choice worth considering seriously.
