Medical Team Introduction
DOCTOR
A patient-centered plastic surgery clinic
focused on lifting procedures
Director, PLANET Plastic Surgery
Dr. Shin Dong-woo
People often ask why I am so particular.
From the very beginning of PLANET,
I wanted to create a clinic dedicated entirely to patients.
I will continue to uphold the original vision of building a place where even my own family
would feel comfortable receiving care.

Expertise in Dr. Shin Dong-woo’s
Surgical Approach
Doctor Message 02.
I wanted to build a clinic that reflects
the true value of a doctor
When I first opened the clinic,
I constantly asked myself the same questions.
“How can I eliminate
the discomfort patients experience,
and how can sincerity be conveyed
even in the smallest moments?”
The result of those questions
is what PLANET Plastic Surgery is today.
There are already countless plastic surgery clinics.
Every day, new ones open and others disappear.
I began to wonder how patients would feel
if the clinic where they had surgery no longer existed, and the doctor was no longer there.
That is why I believe a plastic surgeon
must value people before technique.
I hope patients will remember
“I trusted that doctor with my surgery”
and “I chose that doctor for a reason.”
I want to remain in my patients’ memories
as a doctor who puts people first.
Director of Dermatology, PLANET
Dr. Heo Hee-soo
With specialized expertise
and clinical experience focused on lifting,
I carefully assess each patient’s face with close attention to detail.
No matter how much experience one has,
if the approach does not align with the patient’s concerns,
it cannot lead to a satisfactory result.
As a lifting specialist,
I will accurately analyze skin condition and the causes of aging,
and never overlook each patient’s concerns.

Doctor Message 01.
Expertise in
Dr. Heo Hee-soo’s Skin Treatments
Doctor Message 02.
I found it unfortunate that so many laser
and skin treatments are focused only on
low cost.
Whenever a new “popular” procedure appears,
many clinics simply follow with similar devices and treatments.
Patients often cannot tell what is truly appropriate for them
and end up relying solely on the doctor’s recommendation.
Dermatology requires a refined sense of touch and precision.
Even a 1 mm difference in depth can cause skin damage,
and a single small scar may require long-term treatment.
Today, many clinics heavily promote skin procedures,
but this is not the kind of practice I want to pursue.
When patients seek me out and receive personalized treatments tailored to them,
and continue to visit for ongoing care,
that is when I truly feel pride and fulfillment as
a dermatologist.
