About Newline

A Busan clinic built around two surgeons, not a production line.

Newline Plastic Surgery has operated in Seomyeon, Busan since 2005. Every consultation and every operation is carried out by one of our two board-certified plastic surgeons — the same people you meet at consultation are the ones in theatre.

How we work

The plan follows your anatomy.

We do not sell packages. What a procedure can achieve depends on tissue quality, facial proportion and previous surgery — and none of that can be judged from a photograph.

One surgeon, start to finish

The surgeon who examines you plans the operation, performs it, and sees you at follow-up. Consultations are not delegated to counsellors.

Examination before a quote

Photographs narrow the question; they do not answer it. Suitability and the expected outcome are determined at an in-person examination.

What surgery cannot change

We would rather explain the limits of a procedure before it is booked than manage disappointment afterwards.
