Dr. Choung Han-Wool story

“
Just as the korean word "face"originates
from the spirit ("eol") contained within the form ("gul"),
the face embodies not only one's function and life.Orthognathic and facial contouring surgeries are not merely about changing appearance.
They are about restoring essential functions such as breathing, speaking, chewing, and smiling—
and just as importantly, about helping patients face life once more with renewed confidence.
Through caring for countless patients,
I have witnessed firsthand how a single surgery can profoundly transform a life.
This is why I approach every case with precision, responsibility, and compassion.
So that changes to the face may be a source of hope rather than fear,
I promise to devote my utmost care and attention.
Whether it is a first surgery or a revision,
my mission is to make it the last surgery a patient will ever need,
ensuring both safety and lasting satisfaction.Chief DirectorHanwool Choung

is not a clinic, but a hospital.
Although we often call any medical office a “hospital,”
to be officially recognized as a hospital-level medical institution under the Medical Service Act,
one must meet strict facility standards and staffing requirements,
and pass the Ministry of Health and Welfare's accreditation evaluation.
SEOULFACE21 has satisfied all these rigorous government standards,
and is officially certified as a hospital-level medical institution.
With a higher level of scale, system, expertise, advanced equipment, and government-certified facilities,
we provide each and every patient with medical care they can truly trust.
Through collaboration among Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery,
Prosthodontics, and Orthodontics,
we provide the complete Total Face Solution.

At SEOULFACE21, your safety always comes first.
We’ve built a thorough and reliable system to keep every surgery as safe as possible.
1:1 Responsible Care System
you’ll have a dedicated specialist who is with you every step of the way
—from the very first consultation, through careful treatment planning, to surgery and recovery.
Because we take time to understand your unique concerns and needs,
we can provide care that feels more personal, safer, and ultimately more satisfying.
Preoperative Internal Medicine Collaboration System
Before any surgery, we take your health seriously.
That’s why we go beyond basic blood tests—checking your heart with an ECG, chest X-rays, urine tests, and more.
Working closely with internal medicine specialists, we carefully screen for any potential risks in advance.
This extra step means your surgery can be safer, smoother, and more safety.
In-Hospital Anesthesiology Collaboration System
During your surgery, our anesthesiologists stay by your side the entire time.
They carefully manage anesthesia, keep your airway safe, and closely monitor your heart and vital signs.
With their constant attention, your anesthesia remains stable—helping your procedure stay safe from start to finish.
Sterile Air Control System in All Operating Rooms
Every one of our operating rooms is equipped with a high-performance sterile air control system.
This system filters out airborne bacteria and dust, keeping the surgical environment clean and reducing the risk of infection.
Combined with our strict hygiene practices, we make sure every detail is managed carefully—so your surgery can be as safe as possible.
Fully Equipped Emergency Response System
Our chief director, certified in both Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS),
responds swiftly and accurately in the event of an emergency.
We’re fully prepared with essential equipment such as an AED (automated external defibrillator) and advanced airway management tools.
And to ensure the highest level of safety, we also keep dantrolene—an important but rare medication—
ready in case of malignant hyperthermia, a rare complication that can occur during general anesthesia.
Real-Time Patient Monitoring
Right after surgery, your vital signs—such as blood pressure, oxygen levels, and heart rate—
are continuously tracked through our central monitoring system.
This allows us to detect even the smallest changes early on and respond quickly, keeping you safe during recovery.
To help reduce swelling and support a faster recovery after surgery,
we provide a specialized after-care program designed just for you.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers high-concentration oxygen deep into the body, boosting immunity and promoting metabolism to support faster recovery.
It not only helps prevent infection after surgery
but also reduces swelling and promotes quicker wound recovery.
To support faster recovery after surgery, we use a specialized radiofrequency laser that delivers gentle heat deep into the skin.
This treatment promotes blood and lymph circulation, helping reduce swelling and bruising more effectively.
Our IV therapy delivers a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to strengthen your immunity and support recovery.
It also helps relieve fatigue and inflammation while promoting skin regeneration—making your post-surgery healing more comfortable and effective.
After facial bone surgery, it can be difficult to move or lower your head, making it hard to wash your hair on your own.
To ease this inconvenience, we provide a dedicated shampoo room where you can receive a safe and hygienic shampoo service during recovery.
