IDHOSPITAL

A famous magazine “Die Zeit” is considered to be one of the biggest and most reputable German newspaper and it’s known for its long history and extensive articles. One of its recent articles called “Glossier, Grander, Gangnam” is devoted to the topic of plastic surgery in Korea mentioning ID Hospital as one of the biggest plastic surgery clinics. The journalist of Zeit Magazine shared her ID Hospital experience.

“Floor 15 of ID Hospital is decorated in marble and pale pink, the soft strains of lounge music occasionally interrupted by the drone of the coffeemaker. Like all large clinics in Seoul, ID Hospital claims to be the number one when it comes to art of perfecting its patients’ external appearances. Outside the clinic’s broad windows, meanwhile, buildings are being torn down and rebuilt. Whatever isn’t yet beautiful here will be made beautiful.” – stated in Zeit’s article.

The article then describes the story of one of ID Hospital patients Ann Rithmyxay who underwent anti aging surgeries.  Ann received a lower blepharoplasty surgery last September from ID’s upper and lower blepharoplasty specialist  dr. Hwang In Seok and mini face lift by lifting specialist dr. Seo Young  Tae. She also shared her thoughts about ID Hospital experience:

“I wanted the best clinic,” says a woman waiting for her appointment in a cream-hued armchair. Her name is Ann Rithmyxay and she has traveled all the way from the U.S. for her upcoming operation, a present to herself for her 53rd birthday. Ten years ago, Rithmyxay says, she began suffering from depression and gained weight from the medication. Her face grew puffy, she says, and then started to sag as she aged.

She says she scrolled through Instagram looking at before-and-after photos from Korea and thought: “What if?” She would read testimonials from patients, closed the app and opened it again. Finally, after two years, she says, “I found the courage.” Rithmyxay booked a facelift, a flight and a hotel for her two-and-a-half-week trip, her first time in Seoul.

It doesn’t take long before an English-speaking marketing team comes to greet her in the lounge, women in rose colored outfits and heels. Hello, Annyeonghaseyo! They hand Rithmyxay a form about allergies and previous illnesses. Next to her, a patient who is also waiting for her appointment, asks: “What are you getting? You are so beautiful already!”

A consultant leads Rithmyxay into a small room with a flat-screen TV on which a Korean talent show is currently playing — slender women sitting with their legs crossed. On a wooden table, there are a hand mirror, magazines and a cranial bone. Now the time has come to talk about scars and medication, about how long the swelling will last and the aftereffects of general anesthesia. Following the procedure, the consultant says, she should breathe through her mouth so that the anesthetic gas can escape. Then, the consultant thanks Rithmyxay for her time and leaves. Two additional consultants then come in to talk about money. The entire procedure is to cost $11,000. Rithmyxay signs.”
