About

Dr. Hyung-seok Moon is a plastic surgeon practicing in South Korea who serves as the founding director of Ilchi Plastic Surgery, a Seoul-based clinic focused on facial rejuvenation and lifting procedures. As of October 2026, DeepPlane lists Dr. Moon among surgeons offering advanced facial lifting techniques in South Korea.

According to the practice's own website, Dr. Moon serves as the representative director of Ilchi Plastic Surgery, located in the Gangnam district of Seoul. The clinic lists Dr. Moon as a graduate of Kyung Hee University College of Medicine.

The practice website states that Dr. Moon completed a master's course in plastic surgery at Kyung Hee University's graduate school of medicine. These academic details are attributed to the clinic's own published materials.

Dr. Moon's clinical focus includes facelift and neck lift surgery, a category that overlaps closely with deep plane facelift technique — a method in which the surgeon releases and repositions deeper facial tissue layers rather than tightening skin alone.

The Ilchi Plastic Surgery website lists Dr. Moon as having held positions at other Korean plastic surgery clinics prior to founding the current practice. These prior roles are described by the clinic rather than independently confirmed by DeepPlane.

Dr. Moon's practice also lists membership affiliations with several professional bodies, according to the clinic website. These include the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, as stated by the practice.

The clinic additionally lists international society affiliations on its website, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. DeepPlane records these as practice-stated affiliations.

Facial rejuvenation sits at the heart of Dr. Moon's listed procedure menu, which spans eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and midface lifting alongside the clinic's signature lifting work. This breadth reflects a practice oriented toward comprehensive facial aging treatment.

Dr. Moon operates within Seoul's Gangnam district, an area internationally associated with cosmetic surgery and aesthetic medicine. The clinic address is listed as Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

For patients considering a deep plane facelift, the relevant question is how a surgeon handles the SMAS layer (the sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin) and how carefully tissue is repositioned. Dr. Moon's lifting-focused practice places this kind of work at its center.

Recovery is a central concern for any facelift patient, and Dr. Moon's practice emphasizes natural-looking results — a goal that typically depends on technique rather than aggressive skin tension. Patients should discuss expected recovery directly with the clinic.

Dr. Moon communicates with an international audience through the clinic's multilingual website, which offers Korean, English, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Russian options. This reflects a practice accustomed to patients traveling from abroad.

The practice maintains an active presence on Instagram at the handle ilchiplasticsurgery, where prospective patients can review the clinic's published work and signature procedures. Social channels offer one window into a surgeon's aesthetic style.

Dr. Moon's profile on DeepPlane is intended to help you evaluate a surgeon's listed credentials, location, and procedure focus in one place. Where a detail is attributed to the practice, DeepPlane presents it as a practice claim rather than an independently verified fact.
