A clinic built
for precision.
ARTNER Cheongdam sits behind a quiet stone façade in Seoul's Apgujeong–Cheongdam luxury district. Private interiors, dedicated VIP recovery suites, and an in-house 3D full-body scanner let Dr. Pyeon measure and plan every contour with precision — one patient at a time.

The ARTNER Signatures
Our signature body liposuction — precise, proportion-first sculpting performed without general anesthesia. Unlimited extraction, one patient a day.

Our proprietary 3NO fat-dissolving injection for stubborn pockets where liposuction isn't needed. Targeted, controlled, tailored to each area.

ARTNER Injection paired with a skin-tightening lifting device — fat is dissolved, then the skin over that same area is firmed, so the body slims and tightens together. A combination protocol, no surgery.

A clinic devoted to the body's line.
ARTNER is a body-contouring specialty clinic — not a general plastic surgery practice. That focus lets us refine a narrow set of signatures to a depth most clinics can't, across the abdomen, thighs, arms, back and face.

Built for patients who fly in with limited time and high expectations — a single dedicated surgeon, a single dedicated coordinator, and a process designed end to end around the international visit.
Plan before
you fly
Share photos and goals on WhatsApp and receive a candidacy read, a tailored recommendation and a clear KRW estimate within 24 hours — so you land in Seoul with a plan, not a question mark.
One surgeon,
one day
Dr. Pyeon performs every procedure personally and takes a single case a day. Your contour is never delegated, never rushed, and never run in parallel with another operating table.
Screened like
medicine
As an Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Pyeon screens each patient with genuine medical rigor — cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine — and will honestly decline a case where it isn't safe yet.
English, start
to finish
Consultation, consent forms and your operative report are all handled in English, with Chinese and Japanese support — so nothing important is lost to a translation app.
Recovery that
travels home
Aftercare doesn't end at the airport. Your coordinator follows your recovery over the months that follow, reviewing progress remotely so you're never left guessing once you're home.
Discreet by
design
A private Cheongdam address, separate intake and recovery spaces, and full Korean PIPA confidentiality — among the strictest medical-privacy standards in the world.
Seoul, made simple.
Most of our patients travel from abroad — and the trip is part of what we design.
From the first WhatsApp message to your final remote check-in, ARTNER is built around the reality of a foreign visit: tight schedules, jet lag, and the need to recover somewhere comfortable. We help sequence your consultation, procedure and recovery so a week in Seoul is genuinely enough for most single-area cases — with the city's best food, walks and hotels waiting a few minutes from the door.
-
Built around your itinerary
Consultation and procedure are sequenced to fit a short stay — many single-area patients are comfortable exploring Cheongdam within days.
-
Five minutes from Apgujeong Rodeo
A flat 580m walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 4 (Suin-Bundang Line), 60–90 minutes from Incheon Airport, with Park Hyatt, Imperial Palace and Glad Gangnam all within reach.
-
Three languages, one team
English-led care with Chinese and Japanese support — paperwork, consent and operative notes all provided in your language.
-
Care that follows you home
Months of remote follow-up over WhatsApp — no second flight to Korea required.
Questions, answered.
The things international patients ask us most, before they ever book a flight to Seoul.
Three things set us apart: a director who is an Internal Medicine specialist and performs every procedure personally; a body-contouring specialty focus rather than general plastic surgery; and a one-case-a-day rhythm that gives each patient undivided attention. ARTNER's signatures — ART-FAT, Artner Injection, ART-TUNE and ART-CELL — are patent- and trademark-registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, not generic procedures.
ART-FAT liposuction is priced per area, from ₩1,190,000, with unlimited extraction volume. Artner Injection is sold as a course of sessions, from ₩1,600,000 for a two-area package. Final pricing depends on your anatomy and the areas treated, and is confirmed at consultation — every quote you receive on WhatsApp is the price you pay, with no agency markup. See the Pricing page for the full breakdown.
Yes — and we recommend it. Send clear photos of your target areas along with your goals and rough timeline via WhatsApp, and Dr. Pyeon's team replies within 24 hours with a candidacy assessment, a recommended approach, a KRW estimate and a suggested length of stay. Many patients receive a plan months before they actually fly.
For most single-area procedures, a stay of about a week is comfortable; comprehensive multi-area or 360 cases benefit from a little longer. Because our signature approach avoids general anesthesia and compression garments, many patients are moving comfortably within a few days. Your coordinator gives you a personalized timeline before you book flights.
Yes. Consultations are led in English by trained international patient coordinators alongside Dr. Pyeon, with Chinese (中文) and Japanese (日本語) support available. All consent forms, your operative report and aftercare instructions are provided in English so you have proper documentation to take home.
We're on the 2nd and 3rd floors of 38 Apgujeong-ro 80-gil, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul — a flat five-minute (580m) walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 4 on the Suin-Bundang Line, and 60–90 minutes from Incheon Airport. Several recommended hotels sit within walking distance for recovery.
Every patient interaction is handled under Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) — among the strictest medical-privacy frameworks in the world. Your photos and medical details are seen only by the medical team, kept on secure clinic systems, and never used for marketing without your explicit written consent.
