Dr. Cho’s approach
Beauty comes not from one feature,
but from the harmony of the whole face.
A nose that is high and neat still does not look beautiful if it stands apart from the eyes, mouth and cheeks. At KOKO Plastic Surgery, we see the forest as well as the trees, considering the balance of your whole face. Our work is to help you enjoy better days, with beauty as part of them.

In the same place in Apgujeong
Since 2001, 25 years in one place
We have never changed our name or moved; the clinic has stayed in the same place in Apgujeong. It has not always been an easy road, but I have been happy every step of the way.
“A single-minded clinic”, and “a clinic that keeps striving”.
I do not try to do everything. I work to do what I do well even better. In nose surgery and in facial surgery alike, I will keep taking care with each operation, just as I always have.
Dr. Cho Bae-jung, Representative Director
Our doctor’s promise
We choose your materials before surgery and explain them
At your consultation, Dr. Cho chooses the materials based on your nose and the shape you want, and explains why. If something unexpected is found during surgery, he tells you about it himself afterward.
We never use a material we have not proposed to you without your consent.
After surgery, we walk you through each step, showing you video and photos taken during the operation.
- Opened the first nose surgery clinic in Apgujeong
- Full member of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Korean Society of Aesthetic Rhinoplasty and others
