1. Volume Plastic Surgery: A Specialist in Korea’s Breast Augmentation Field
Among the plastic surgery hospitals in Seocho-gu, Gangnam, Seoul, there is one institution that stands out particularly in breast augmentation and calf nerve block procedures: Volume Plastic Surgery (볼륨성형외과의원).
Volume was founded in 2007 by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Han Seung-woo and has now nearly 20 years of experience. Unlike general plastic surgery hospitals that offer a wide range of services, Volume has always focused on breast augmentation, body contouring, and facial anti-aging treatments. It dedicates all its expertise and technical resources to these areas where it excels.
The hospital is located on the 9th floor of the Human Tower, at 605 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul. It is situated in the heart of Gangnam’s medical and aesthetic district, offering convenient transportation and modern facilities.

3. Core Departments & Key Procedures
🔹 Breast Plastic Surgery Center (Signature)
Volume is one of the leading plastic surgery hospitals in Korea, with a high volume of implant surgeries. Dr. Han Seung-woo has been performing breast augmentation for over 20 years and has accumulated a vast case portfolio, particularly expertise in revising failed surgeries—many patients who had previously undergone procedures elsewhere come to Volume specifically for second-stage revisions.
Core Augmentation Technique: ASIA FIT Breast Surgery
ASIA FIT is a breast augmentation procedure specifically designed by Volume to suit the physical characteristics of Asian women, taking into account their generally smaller ribcages, thinner subcutaneous tissue, and narrower shoulder widths. This approach selects more appropriate implant sizes and incision locations to achieve “natural and firm” results, rather than “balloon-like” outcomes.
Main surgical procedures:
- Implant breast augmentation (endoscopic / axillary incision / areola incision)
- ASIA FIT Asian Custom Breast Augmentation
- Breast reduction (macromastia)
- Breast reoperation (implant removal / replacement / capsular contracture repair)
- Breast implant removal
- Inverted nipple correction
- Accessory breast removal
- Areola reduction
🔹 Body Contouring Center
Internet-famous calf nerve block slimming
Volume’s rise to fame in domestic medical aesthetics communities is largely due to this procedure — calf nerve block slimming. Unlike regular Botox injections, nerve blocking achieves long-term muscle relaxation through precise blocking of the gastrocnemius nerve innervation, resulting in more lasting effects that typically last 1-3 years or more.
Other contouring procedures:
- Waist/thigh liposuction
- Fat grafting (face/breast)
- Upper arm contouring
🔹 Facial plastic surgery
- Double eyelid surgery (suture/incisional)
- Canthoplasty
- Comprehensive nose surgery
- Facial contouring (cheekbones/jawline/chin)
🔹 Facial anti-aging center
- Forehead nerve blocking (for reducing frown lines)
- Facial thread lifting
- Botox (for reducing jaw lines and removing wrinkles)
- Dermal fillers
- Thermage/Ulthera for firming the skin
- Laser skin rejuvenation
4. Why choose Volume for breast augmentation?
1. Dr. Han Seung-woo: A 20-year specialist in breast augme
ntation
Volume does not suffer from the issue of “chief physicians merely lending their name without performing the actual surgery” – Dr. Han Seung-woo personally performs all operations, including complex revision surgeries. His 20 years of experience and extensive case history are his strongest credentials.
2. ASIA FIT: Tailored for Asian body ty
pes
Many unsatisfactory breast augmentation results in Korea are due to implants that do not suit Asian body types. Volume’s ASIA FIT technique is specifically designed for this issue, addressing the needs of patients from China, Japan, Vietnam, and other Asian regions.
3. Extensive experience in revision s
urgeries
Volume has treated numerous patients who sought revision after unsuccessful procedures at other clinics. A hospital willing to take on such cases typically possesses higher standards of surgical expertise and safety measures.
4. Calf Nerve Block: Longer Lasting Res
ults
Compared to traditional Botox injections, which last for 3–6 months, calf nerve block results last for 1–3 years or more. For patients with O-shaped legs or overdeveloped gastrocnemius muscles, this is a more cost-effective long-term solution.

7. Patient Experience Summary
Volume Plastic Surgery adopts a “specialized and refined” approach. Breast augmentation and calf nerve block are its two most prominent services in South Korea’s plastic surgery market.
If your primary need is breast augmentation—especially if you require revision or are concerned about the implant not matching your body type—or if you want calf slimming, looking for a more lasting solution, Volume is one of the few institutions in South Korea specializing in these areas and worth considering seriously.
Dr. Han Seung-woo’s 20 years of experience in breast augmentation, combined with the ASIA FIT surgical protocol specifically designed for Asian patients, mean that for local patients, choosing Volume for augmentation or revision involves relatively fewer communication and trust barriers.
