He is listed as board-certified by the Korean Board of Plastic Surgery (KBPS), the national body that certifies plastic surgeons in South Korea. This credential reflects formal completion of accredited residency and examination requirements.
Dr. Kwon focuses on the deep plane facelift, a technique that repositions deeper facial tissue layers rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach aims for a natural, longer-lasting result that avoids the pulled appearance associated with older methods.
His clinical interests extend well beyond the facelift itself. Dr. Ju Yong Kwon also specializes in rhinoplasty revision, under-eye fat repositioning, and broader facial rejuvenation — a combination that reflects a whole-face approach to aesthetic balance.
Rhinoplasty revision, in particular, is a demanding subspecialty. It involves correcting the results of a prior nose surgery, which requires advanced skill in working with scarred and altered tissue.
Under-eye fat repositioning is another area of focus for Dr. Kwon. Rather than removing fat from the lower eyelid, this technique redistributes it to smooth hollows and restore a rested appearance to the mid-face.
Seoul is widely recognized as a global center for aesthetic surgery, and Dr. Ju Yong Kwon practices within that highly developed medical ecosystem. The city's concentration of specialized facilities supports both advanced technique and refined patient care.
Dr. Kwon holds membership in the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (KSAPS), a professional organization dedicated to aesthetic surgical standards and continuing education. Membership signals ongoing engagement with the field's evolving practices.
His approach is frequently described as detail-oriented and communicative. Patients note that Dr. Kwon takes time during consultation to understand their goals and explain the surgical plan clearly.
Facial aging affects multiple layers of the face — skin, fat, muscle, and the connective tissue framework. Dr. Ju Yong Kwon's methodology addresses these layers together, which is central to the philosophy behind the deep plane technique.
Recovery is an essential part of the deep plane facelift journey, and Dr. Kwon's practice emphasizes structured post-operative guidance. Most patients see the majority of swelling resolve within several weeks, with refined results emerging over the following months.
ID Hospital, where Dr. Kwon is affiliated, is a large multi-specialty aesthetic center in Seoul. Its infrastructure supports comprehensive facial procedures within a single, established clinical setting.
Dr. Ju Yong Kwon works within a Seoul market known for surgical innovation and high patient expectations. This environment rewards surgeons who combine technical precision with careful aesthetic judgment.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Kwon offers a specialized, experience-backed approach. His focus on natural-looking, tissue-based results aligns with the priorities of patients seeking subtle, durable improvement rather than dramatic change.
What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 179 Google reviewsDr.Kim is the best. Trustable and reliable surgery clinic I choose and never change. English interpreter also provides for international clients. Price is reasonable for those people who need privacy and excellent service.
I had multiple facial procedures done at Yuno, including revision rhino and DES, under-eye fat repositioning, buccal fat removal, chin lipo, and platysmaplasty. Dr. Shin Young Kim performed my rhino and Dr. Jaedo Joo performed the rest of my procedures. They took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns and were honest and optimistic about what could realistically be achieved. And they both speak English well! Both doctors are clearly very skilled and I can understand why they’re so highly sought after. My translator, Kristina, was an amazing resource from the very beginning. She is incredibly patient and genuinely a kind person, and having her support made a HUGE difference. The aftercare here is excellent. Daily deswelling laser treatments, injections for swelling/pain, nose scrub after cast removal, etc. Always available to answer any questions I had during the recovery process. After consulting with 6 clinics, I’m very glad I chose Yuno and would absolutely recommend it to my friends and family!
I recently flew in to Korea and had a rhinoplasty at Yuno Plastic Surgery Clinic, and I can honestly say it has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. Going into it, I was extremely scared and unsure, but the entire team made me feel so comfortable and supported. I’m now really looking forward to seeing my nose fully recover. One of the biggest reasons this experience was so positive was their translator, Kristina. She is fluent in English, Korean, and Russian, and I truly cannot thank her enough. She was incredibly sweet, always there for me throughout the whole process, and her replies were super prompt whenever I had questions or concerns. She made everything feel so much less overwhelming. Dr. Shinyoung Kim performed my rhinoplasty, and I’m so glad I was able to communicate with him in English. He made me feel confident and reassured every step of the way. If I ever decide to have anything done again in the future, it will definitely be here. I’m beyond grateful to the entire Yuno team for such a positive experience.

Dr. Kwon's Surgical Approach
Dr. Ju Yong Kwon performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition facial tissue at its structural foundation.
Dr. Ju Yong Kwon performs the deep plane facelift by working beneath the SMAS layer to reposition facial tissue at its structural foundation. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is the sheet of muscle and connective tissue that supports the skin and underlying fat of the face.
In a traditional facelift, the surgeon tightens the skin and may fold or trim the SMAS from above. Dr. Kwon's deep plane approach differs by releasing the tissue below this layer, allowing the face to be lifted as a unified structure.
