Shin Guk-hyun is the CEO and Chief Plastic Surgeon of THE BEAUTY (더뷰티) Plastic Surgery Clinic in South Korea. A board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of clinical experience in facial aesthetics and nasal revision, he frequently consults at medical aesthetic institutions in both China and South Korea and serves as a distinguished Korean expert for multiple chain plastic surgery hospitals in China. He holds a Doctor of Medicine degree from Yonsei University College of Medicine, completed his specialized residency training in Plastic Surgery at Severance Hospital of Yonsei University, and has obtained official certification as a Specialist in Plastic Surgery from the Korean government. His expertise lies in endoscopic functional rhinoplasty and revision of contracted noses or noses with failed implants. He utilizes autologous ear or rib cartilage to reconstruct the nasal tip while simultaneously correcting functional issues such as deviated septum and nasal obstruction. Incisions are concealed within the nostrils, promoting rapid scar fading and effectively addressing complex revision cases involving implant translucency, asymmetry, and nasal tip contracture.

Board-certified plastic surgeon, graduated from Seoul National University College of Medicine, holding a license in plastic surgery issued by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Korea. Certified lecturer of the Korean Anti-Aging Society and specialist developer of facial thread lift techniques. With 18 years of clinical experience in五官整形 (five-sense organ plastic surgery) and long-lasting thread lift anti-aging procedures, he serves as the lead researcher for THE BEAUTY Hospital's patented Long-V composite long-lasting thread lift technology. He has consistently focused on improving facial soft tissue laxity, performing refined ophthalmic and rhinoplasty procedures, and injection-based contouring. He has presented multiple times at Chinese-Korean medical aesthetics academic exchanges to share his expertise in thread lift techniques. He developed an original reverse-anchor lifting technique that combines absorbable PDO threads with long-lasting support threads implanted in layered fashion to achieve dual anchoring of the fascial layer, effectively addressing the short-term laxity limitations of traditional thread lifts. This method lifts the apple cheeks, nasolabial folds, and lower jawline soft tissues in layers, resulting in minimal postoperative swelling and maintenance periods lasting 5–10 years, making it ideal for individuals aged 30–55 experiencing early signs of aging and skin laxity.

Dr. Lee Young-geun is the representative director of THE BEAUTY Plastic Surgery Hospital in Korea, with long-standing expertise in Korean cosmetic surgery. His clinical practice focuses on facial proportion design, rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty, anti-aging lifting procedures, and hair aesthetic planning. According to the hospital's official website, his scope of practice includes comprehensive services such as eyelid surgery, nose reshaping, facial lifting, breast augmentation, hair transplantation, and skin rejuvenation. In terms of clinical philosophy, Dr. Lee emphasizes "natural aesthetics" and personalized design, avoiding generic internet-famous templates. Instead, he develops surgical plans tailored to each patient's unique facial shape, feature proportions, skeletal structure, and overall temperament. Particularly in eye and nose surgery, he prioritizes the harmonious relationship among nasal bridge, nasal tip, eye contour, and facial silhouette, refining details to enhance overall elegance.

Board-certified dermatologist specializing in skin disorders, graduated from the Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine, with 16 years of clinical experience in treating problematic skin and performing photonic anti-aging procedures. A formal member of the Korean Society for Laser Dermatology and the Korean Acne Research Society, I am an officially certified instructor for POTENZA Gold Microneedling, Ultherapy (U.S. version), and Juvelook Collagen Stimulator injections. My practice focuses on repairing thin, sensitive Asian skin, acne scars, and melasma. As the only full-time Chief Dermatologist at THE BEAUTY Clinic, I personally perform all laser, mesotherapy, and injectable treatments without delegating them to nursing staff for assembly-line procedures. Patient reviews consistently highlight my gentle treatment approach, minimal discomfort, and short recovery periods. I have matured protocols for addressing challenging conditions such as melasma, recurrent acne breakouts, and rosacea, effectively balancing immediate brightening effects with long-term skin barrier stabilization. I am a preferred choice for patients seeking advanced skin management and acne scar repair in South Korea.
