I feel obliged to write this review because I know that this surgery itself is not well-known, understood, or even guaranteed to be safe by many people who have concerns with the shape of their head. I want everyone to know that if you are unhappy with your head shape, there is a feasible, safe procedure you can go for in South Korea (a very safe and well-run country) by the best surgeon in the world for this, Dr Song at Jogak Clinic. This surgery changed my life. I am 24, female, and travelled from the UK to Seoul, South Korea for skull reshaping surgery. I had moderate to severe flatness at the back of my head with some asymmetry and a dent at the crown area. It bothered me for years and was a huge insecurity of mine, and honestly, it made me feel so ugly at times even though many others didn’t notice, but anyway, you need to do things to make yourself happy, so I began looking for a solution. I started my research in 2022. Dr Song’s name appeared many times and it became clear that he is a skilled specialist surgeon for this exact issue. I read countless reviews in forums of people that went to his clinic over the years and had this procedure done with great results, so I reached out to Dr Song for the first time in April 2025. His communications by email were thorough, explanations were technical, and no question was left unanswered, so I felt reassured that I had made the right decision, and I booked to have the procedure in April 2026. I travelled for 18 hours on my own from the UK to Seoul and went to the clinic the next morning. I met Dr Song right away and immediately felt at ease. He was kind, professional, his English is great and he explained everything clearly. Our consultation lasted 30-40 minutes; he examined my head, took some ‘before’ photos and discussed what could realistically be improved. He answered all of my questions honestly. The surgery itself was much easier than I expected. I chose to have IV sedation, so I was relaxed and drowsy throughout. There was no real pain during the procedure, just some pressure and discomfort at times. It took under an hour, and Dr Song inserted 50cc of bone cement into my head and molded it to achieve a more rounded shape. Recovery was also smoother than I imagined. I had no visible swelling or bruising so was able to explore South Korea after the bandage was removed on day 3 (you can cover the bandage with a beanie hat if you want). I returned to the clinic 3 times after the procedure to get the incision site disinfected and examined, and then the last appointment was for removal of the staples 10 days after surgery. Dr Song took the final ‘after’ photos so we could see the comparison. I have attached these pictures to this review. I had some mild discomfort for the first few days, mainly around the lower head / upper neck area because this is where the swelling dropped to, but nothing severe. To be honest, it is quite easy to forget you had surgery after you have the bandage taken off. I’m just over two weeks post-op; I feel incredible. Pain is completely gone now, and I’m genuinely so happy every time I see the new shape of my head. Dr song achieved a much more natural, round looking shape. It has given me a huge boost in confidence and fixed something that bothered me for a long time. I will admit, before leaving the UK, I was worried about the choice I made to have this procedure, but travelling to Seoul to see Dr Song was the best decision I made, and I’m so grateful that I was brave enough to do it. I owe it to Dr Song and his team - they fixed an insecurity that I thought never had a chance to be fixed or only by invasive, scary sounding surgeries. I encourage everyone to come to this clinic and know you will be in good hands. Dr Song is a terrific doctor, an artist, sculptor, and an all-round cool guy who can change your life! I wish I did this surgery sooner. Thank you for everything Dr Song & team!
I can’t even begin to describe the great experience I’ve had with Dr Yong, I’ve been researching him for 5 years now and wanting to do the head augmentation surgery with him for a long time and I finally did the surgery 2 weeks ago and everything exceeded my expectations. I had low expectations because I had two previous head surgeries that didn’t go well and left me asymmetrical and uneven… Dr Yong understood my concerns and he made sure everything went perfectly, he evened out all my asymmetries and concerns and augmented my head to a volume I was dreaming to have but didn’t think I can achieve easily. Will highly recommend if this surgery has been something you’ve been wanting to do, he exceeded my expectations and I would look no further if I want more head augmentation surgeries in the future.
