Dr. Kim Jun-young, Representative Surgeon
The surgeon you meet is the surgeon who operates, and the surgeon who sees you afterward.
Dr. Kim Jun-young is the representative surgeon of Will Be Plastic Surgery in Sinsa-dong, Seoul. He personally performs every consultation, surgical design, operation and follow-up at the clinic. His work focuses on eyelid and revision eyelid surgery, lifting, non-implant rhinoplasty and fat grafting, and he shares patient education on YouTube at @willbekim.
Who is Dr. Kim Jun-young?
Dr. Kim Jun-young is the representative surgeon of Will Be Plastic Surgery. He carries out every stage of care at the clinic himself: the consultation, the surgical design, the operation and each follow-up visit. Will Be is built around this principle, and Dr. Kim is the reason it can work.
His practice concentrates on eyelid surgery and revision surgery, face and forehead lifting, rhinoplasty with an emphasis on non-implant techniques, and fat grafting.

One surgeon, from consultation to follow-up
At Will Be, Dr. Kim does not delegate surgery. There is no arrangement in which one doctor consults and another operates. When you sit down to talk about your eyelids or your jawline, you are speaking with the person who will make each decision in the operating room.
The same continuity applies after surgery. Healing is a process that unfolds over weeks and months. Having the operating surgeon review each stage means that small changes are interpreted in the context of what was actually done. See the one-surgeon principle.
How does Dr. Kim approach surgery?
Dr. Kim's approach is anatomy first. Before discussing technique, he examines the structures involved: the strength of the levator muscle that opens the eyelid, the position of the orbital fat, the thickness of the skin, the support of the SMAS layer in the face. The plan follows from what he finds.
He explains this reasoning in consultation, in plain language. Patients are encouraged to understand why a particular approach is suggested and what its limits are. Where a smaller procedure, a non-surgical option or no treatment at all would serve you better, he will say so.
Revision cases receive particular care. Scar tissue, altered anatomy and the emotional weight of an earlier disappointment all shape the plan, and timing is often as important as technique. Read am I a candidate for revision? for more.
Patient education on YouTube

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Still wondering about something? Ask Dr. Kim directly — every consultation at Will Be is with the surgeon himself.
Does Dr. Kim perform every surgery himself?
Yes. At Will Be Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kim Jun-young, representative surgeon, personally performs every operation. He also carries out the consultation, the surgical design and the follow-up visits. The clinic does not use a model in which a different doctor operates from the one you met.
Will I meet Dr. Kim at my consultation?
Yes. Consultations at Will Be are carried out by Dr. Kim himself. This allows him to examine your anatomy directly, hear what you want, and design a plan that he will then carry out in surgery. Consultations are by appointment.
What does Dr. Kim focus on?
His practice focuses on eyelid surgery, especially revision double eyelid surgery, along with endoscopic forehead lift, facelift, thread lift, non-implant rhinoplasty, PRP micro fat grafting and men's eye and nose surgery. Selected non-surgical treatments are also offered.
Where can I learn more about his approach?
Dr. Kim shares educational videos on his YouTube channel, @willbekim, covering procedures, anatomy and recovery. The patient guides on this site follow the same approach. The clearest way to understand his thinking for your own case is a consultation.
Can Dr. Kim review a previous surgery done elsewhere?
Yes. Many patients consult about revision eyelid surgery after an earlier operation. Dr. Kim assesses scar tissue, remaining skin, crease position and muscle function, and advises whether revision is suitable now, later, or not at all. Timing after the first surgery is an important part of that decision.
