Dr. Kwon has been practicing medicine for about 24 years and is one of the leading authorities in the world in the area of body transformation (particularly breast surgery and high-definition body contouring). He is known for his very detailed and precise "3-D sculpting" method of body sculpting using the most advanced ultrasound technology available today, such as VASER, to provide very defined muscles and tightened skin.

In addition to being an excellent surgeon, Dr. Kwon is also a prolific writer and has authored and/or co-authored more than 54 peer reviewed scientific articles. Dr. Kwon is also a teacher and mentor to new surgeons, providing them with training and education in the latest surgical techniques. In terms of his clinical philosophy, Dr. Kwon believes in achieving "anatomical harmony" in all of the procedures he performs (including breast augmentation and tummy tucks) so that each procedure is performed in a way that is in complete alignment with the patient's natural proportion and their dynamic movement.

Anti Aging

Anti Aging

Anti-aging treatment abroad covers hormone optimization, NAD+ therapy, regenerative aesthetics, longevity health screenings, and cellular rejuvenation programs at physician-led clinics and luxury wellness centers. Programs are science-backed and tailored to each patient's unique biology and longevity goals. Longevity and anti-aging programs in Western countries carry premium price tags. Comprehensive [anti-aging programs](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/skin-care/anti-aging-treatment) that cost $15,000 to $40,000 at home may be available for $4,000 to $12,000 abroad at equally credentialed clinics with board-certified physicians specializing in longevity and regenerative medicine. Leading [international anti-aging centers](https://curemeabroad.com/) offer advanced biomarker testing, personalized supplementation protocols, and multi-disciplinary longevity teams. Patients consistently report receiving more individualized, science-driven programs than they found available at home. The physician's credentials in longevity or integrative medicine and the quality of diagnostics are the most important factors. Confirm the program begins with thorough hormonal, metabolic, and genomic profiling. Lifestyle adherence — nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management — forms the foundation upon which all clinical anti-aging interventions build.

Laser Surgery

Laser Surgery

Laser surgery abroad covers precision laser procedures across ophthalmology, dermatology, urology, ENT, and gynecology, including LASIK, fractional skin resurfacing, HoLEP laser [prostatectomy](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/urology/prostatectomy/united-states), and endovenous laser vein ablation. Advanced laser platforms deliver bloodless, scar-minimizing results across a wide range of clinical indications. [Laser surgery costs[(https://curemeabroad.com/blogs/how-much-is-laser-eye-surgery-cost-prices-factors-worth-it) vary considerably between countries. A fractional CO2 skin resurfacing session that costs $2,000 to $4,000 at home may be available for $400 to $1,200 abroad at equally equipped dermatology or aesthetic medicine centers with experienced laser surgeons. Leading international laser surgery centers offer comprehensive pre-treatment assessments, customized laser parameters, and thorough post-treatment care plans. Patients consistently report receiving more detailed consultations and better-documented treatment protocols than they found at home. The surgeon's laser experience and the generation of the laser platform are the most important factors. Always confirm the specific device model and your surgeon's case volume with that particular system. Sun protection, post-treatment [skincare](https://curemeabroad.com/blogs/top-skin-tightening-procedures) compliance, and follow-up appointments are critical for optimal outcomes and complication avoidance.

General Surgery

General Surgery

General surgery abroad covers hernia repair, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, thyroidectomy, colorectal surgery, and abdominal procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques. These procedures address common surgical conditions with high precision, minimal scarring, and rapid recovery. General surgical costs vary greatly between countries. A [laparoscopic](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/laparoscopic-surgery) cholecystectomy that costs $15,000 to $25,000 at home may be available for $2,000 to $5,000 abroad at equally accredited hospitals with board-certified general surgeons performing high-volume, low-complication procedures. [Leading international surgical centers](https://curemeabroad.com/) offer shorter waiting times, advanced laparoscopic and robotic capabilities, and streamlined pre-operative and post-operative care. Patients consistently report receiving more attentive surgical planning and recovery support than they experienced at home. The surgeon's laparoscopic experience and the hospital's accreditation are the most important factors. Confirm the surgeon's annual procedure volume and complication rates. Following postoperative wound care instructions, activity restrictions, and dietary guidelines directly influences recovery speed and long-term outcomes.

Medical Spa Treatment

Medical Spa Treatment

Medical spa treatments abroad offer physician-supervised aesthetic and wellness therapies in luxury resort-style environments, including IV infusion therapy, cosmetic injectables, body contouring, hydrotherapy, and recuperative wellness programs. These are not simply spa holidays — leading medical spas are physician-led and deliver clinical-grade treatments in premium settings. [Medical spa programs](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/medical-spa-treatment/spa-treatment) in Western countries are expensive and often commercially oriented. A comprehensive week-long medispa program that costs $8,000 to $20,000 at home may be available for $2,500 to $7,000 abroad at equally physician-led centers in Thailand, Switzerland, Austria, or the UAE. Leading international medical spas offer thorough health assessments before treatment, customized therapy plans, and ongoing clinical oversight throughout the stay. Patients consistently report receiving more medically rigorous, personalized wellness experiences than they found at home. The [physician's credentials](https://curemeabroad.com/blogs/surgery-abroad-red-flags-avoid-scams) and the clinical oversight structure are the most important factors. Confirm a licensed physician reviews your health history before treatments begin. The quality of your ongoing self-care, stress management, and lifestyle habits after returning home determines how lasting your medical spa results will be.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation treatment abroad offers intensive neurological, orthopedic, cardiac, and post-surgical recovery programs at internationally accredited rehabilitation centers staffed by physiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech-language therapists, and neuropsychologists. High-intensity [therapy](https://curemeabroad.com/blogs/how-much-does-targeted-therapy-cost-2026) programs using robotic and virtual reality technology accelerate functional recovery. Inpatient rehabilitation in many countries is expensive, short, and not sufficiently intensive. A comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program that costs $30,000 to $80,000 at home may be available for $5,000 to $20,000 abroad at equally accredited centers with equivalent or greater daily therapy intensity. Leading international rehabilitation centers offer 3 to 5 hours of daily therapy, advanced [robotic](https://curemeabroad.com/treatments/robotic-surgery) rehabilitation technology (Lokomat, Armeo, Ekso), and multidisciplinary team management. Patients consistently report receiving more intensive, individualized therapy than they found at home. The program's daily therapy intensity and the multidisciplinary team's experience are the most critical factors. Confirm daily therapy hours and the range of allied health professionals included. Family education, home exercise programs, and continuation of therapy after returning home are essential to sustain gains made during intensive inpatient rehabilitation.

I trusted this clinic because an acquaintance had excellent results here. I didn't even look at other clinics. Dr. Kwon is a master of his craft. The staff is very polite and the aftercare is top-notch. I felt totally taken care of from the airport pickup to the final check-up.

Amazing look for my procedure. The clinic is stunning—located in a gold building—and the process was seamless. They spent about three hours on me before the surgery, conducting CT scans and bloodwork. It reassured me that my health was the priority. Dr. Kwon is a very kind and skilled doctor.

Dr. Kwon is an absolute artist with liposuction. I had 3D body contouring, and the difference is amazing. He managed to sculpt my waist in a way that looks completely natural. No bruising after the second week. The translation services at JK are excellent; I never felt like there was a communication gap.

I traveled from the US for breast augmentation and chose Dr. Kwon Soon-Hong based on his 20+ years of experience. He was professional and very clear about what size would look natural for my frame. The recovery center at JK is like a luxury hotel, and the 24/7 monitoring made me feel incredibly safe. The results are life-changing.

I did facial contouring surgery at JK, and it was my first time in Seoul. I'm very impressed with the service. Dr. Kwon was very patient in answering my questions and doubts, making me feel assured about the surgery and my recovery. The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was clean and soothing. Thank you for the care during my overnight stay.
