Pladen Doesn’t Try to Do Everything.
We Specialize in One Thing.
Non-surgical fat sculpting through our patented PPOPKKI (Extract) Injection. 200,000+ patients. 8,900+ verified reviews. Now in its 3rd generation.
While most Seoul clinics offer fifty procedures and master none, Pladen built its reputation by going deep — one specialty, perfected over a decade, until we patented our own protocol.
Facial fat sits in stacked compartments — superficial, deep, inter-pad — each layered against specific nerves and vessels. A doctor without surgical anatomy training can only guess which layer the needle is in. Pladen’s PPOPKKI was designed by a surgeon who has lifted those exact compartments off the bone with his own hands.

“Trained on the bones beneath the skin.”
Dr. Seok-yoon’s design philosophy
A Two-Jaw Surgeon Who Decided to Stop Operating.
Dr. Seok-yoon built his career on the hardest cases in Korean aesthetic medicine — two-jaw orthognathic surgery and facial-contouring bone work. Catholic University of Korea, Gangnam St. Mary’s residency. Taipei Veterans General Hospital craniofacial fellowship. Co-author of an Asian aesthetic facial-bone surgery textbook.
Then he stopped cutting. He believed the same 3D anatomical map that prevents complications in major surgery could prevent complications in a 20-minute injection — and that most patients walking into Seoul aesthetic clinics don’t need surgery at all. They need a doctor who can tell them so honestly.
Three things change when your injector trained as a bone surgeon first.
PPOPKKI is surgical-grade layer targeting.
A surface-only doctor guesses at depth. Dr. Seok-yoon knows the fat compartments by feel.
Filler is bone-line architecture, not volume-stacking.
Most clinics keep filling hollows until you have a “pillow face.” Pladen reads the maxilla, zygoma, and mandible underneath, then places each drop as a structural extension of your existing bone line. We call it Achromatic Beauty — refinement so structurally aligned that no one can point to what’s been done.
The honest diagnosis most clinics won’t give you.
If your real issue is bone width, no injection will fix it — and Pladen will tell you so before you pay. The patients we treat are the ones a non-surgical approach can actually solve. That’s why our results hold up.
Three Specialist Directors.
Reviews from Real Patients.
Most “factory” clinics rotate ten generalists through your procedure chair. Pladen runs on three named directors, each owning a domain — and 576 verified Google reviews behind the experience.
Dr. Seok-yoon
14 years as a two-jaw and facial-bone surgeon. The 3D anatomical map underneath every Pladen protocol comes from him.
Dr. Lim Ji-hyun
Same elite training as Dr. Seok-yoon — Catholic University Medical School and Seoul St. Mary’s plastic surgery residency. Brings refinement-focused detail to non-surgical work.
Dr. Cha Wonjin
Trained at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital and an active member of the KSPRS Eye Plasty and Fat Plasty research divisions — the procedural rigor behind Pladen’s PPOPKKI precision and eye-region detail.
What Patients Actually Say
From verified Google reviews.
Satisfied from consultation to procedure. They recommended procedures suited to my face, explained everything in detail, and prioritized natural results over excessive procedures. The outcome exceeded expectations.
The clinic is very clean and staff coordination is solid. I was curious about the DCA PPOPKKI injection — the injection pain was minimal and the procedure was over instantly. Also had Shurink and Botox; total time about 1.5 hours.
Had shoulder filler, shoulder Botox, chin filler, and forehead filler. Anesthesia was used so there was almost no pain, and downtime was nearly zero. The finish was very natural — a friend even said “You’ve changed a lot!”
Had a thigh slimming procedure and the price was very reasonable. The doctor and all staff spoke fluent English — absolutely no communication issues. The latest laser equipment was a huge plus. Will definitely get my next procedure here.
Excellent customer service, clear communication, and great interpreter support. Had whitening IV and Cinderella drip twice, and my blemishes noticeably improved. Prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!
Had Rejuran and brightening injections. The clinic is spacious and the interior decor is cozy. I had the image of a body-focused clinic, but their skin care menu is also comprehensive — you could get everything done in one visit.
Each patient is matched to the director whose specialty fits their case — Dr. Seok-yoon for structural design and bone-line work, Dr. Lim for fine-detail filler and refinement, Dr. Cha for PPOPKKI precision and eye-region detail.
