Hello,
I’m Dr. Seung-Wan Tak, the chief surgeon at Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery, located in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul. Our clinic specializes in lip lift surgery, philtrum reduction, and natural lip reshaping procedures.

If you’re exploring your options for lip enhancement, you might be asking yourself:
- "Is Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery trustworthy?"
- "Can this clinic deliver the results I want?"
Choosing the right clinic is a significant decision, especially when it comes to achieving your aesthetic goals. Allow me to introduce the principles that guide my practice and why patients from all over the world trust us for their lip procedures.
Why Trust Dr. Tak for Your Lip Procedure?
Over the past decade, I have dedicated my career to becoming an expert in lip aesthetics. Here are some highlights of my qualifications:
- Certified Plastic Surgeon by the Ministry of Health and Welfare
- Graduate of Hallym University College of Medicine
- Advanced training at Nagasaki National University Plastic Surgery Department
- Member of multiple prestigious medical societies, including the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the Fat Plastic Surgery Research Society

While these credentials demonstrate my expertise, what truly defines my practice are the two guiding principles that shape how I care for my patients.

Dr. Tak’s First Principle: Honest and Realistic Results
In consultations, patients often express desires like:
- "I want to look younger."
- "I wish to appear more attractive."
- "I hope to regain my confidence."
These are entirely natural aspirations. However, some clinics exploit these desires by making exaggerated claims, such as promising to make you look a decade younger with one treatment or guaranteeing dramatic transformations.
At Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery, we believe in transparency. We provide honest assessments and set realistic expectations for results, ensuring that our patients feel confident and informed throughout their journey.
Every individual is unique, and so are their features and aesthetic goals. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for lip enhancement procedures.
Our clinic offers tailored solutions for each patient, reflecting their personal needs and natural beauty. Whether you’re interested in philtrum reduction surgery, a lip lift for a more youthful appearance, or subtle lip reshaping to enhance your natural charm, we design every treatment plan to align with your expectations and complement your unique features.

Dr. Tak’s Second Principle: 100% Appointment-Based Care
Before founding Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery, I worked as an associate surgeon at a large plastic surgery clinic. While this experience helped me refine my skills and develop my own expertise, it also revealed systemic shortcomings that inspired my second guiding principle.
At large clinics, the focus is often on treating as many patients as possible. While this system enables clinics to accommodate more patients, it often leads to long wait times, rushed consultations, and strained doctor-patient relationships.
For example, I’ve seen patients scheduled for a 10 a.m. appointment who didn’t meet their doctor until well into the afternoon. Understandably, many patients became frustrated, and I often found myself apologizing to them before surgeries. This environment left both patients and doctors exhausted, which made achieving optimal outcomes more challenging.
Through this experience, I realized that I wanted to practice differently. I resolved to prioritize quality over quantity by dedicating more time and attention to each patient.
This decision led to the founding of Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery, where we operate under a strict 100% appointment-based system. Here, we:
- Reduce patient wait times through streamlined scheduling and operations.
- Use structured consultation checklists to ensure comprehensive and personalized care.
- Leverage technology to simplify staff workflows and minimize errors.
By focusing on each patient individually, we can deliver care that is more thoughtful, personalized, and satisfying for both patients and our team.
What Sets Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery Apart?
Our commitment to honest communication and personalized care stems from experiences early in my career. I once treated a patient who had undergone several unsatisfactory procedures at other clinics, each claiming miraculous results. This patient’s struggles reinforced the importance of prioritizing ethical practice and patient well-being.
