In the field of facial bone surgery, Dr. Sang Hoon Park, Founder and Chief Director of ID Hospital, stands as one of Korea’s most influential figures. Renowned for his mastery in V-line surgery, facial bone reduction, and orthognathic (double jaw) surgery, Dr. Park has elevated ID Hospital into the world’s leading institution for facial bone surgery and aesthetic innovation.

Since the early 2000s, when facial born surgery was still in its formative stage, Dr. Park envisioned a new era of aesthetic medicine — one that combined precise skeletal correction with aesthetic harmony. Through continuous innovation, he introduced safer, more refined surgical techniques that set new standards of facial aesthetics across Asia.

In 2004, Dr. Park founded ‘Park Sang Hoon Plastic Surgery Clinic (now ID Hospital)’ — Korea’s first clinic specializing exclusively in facial bone contouring surgery.

The clinic later expanded to include departments of dermatology, dentistry, and anesthesiology, evolving into ID Hospital, a multidisciplinary medical center that provides comprehensive facial and body transformation within one system.

Throughout his career, Dr. Park has led a series of innovations that redefined the modern facial contouring landscape:

• V-line Surgery – Harmonizes the jaw angle and chin for a balanced, natural result
• No-Tie Double Jaw Surgery – Eliminates postoperative fixation for faster,  safer recovery
• 3D CT-Based Facial Analysis – Enhances precision through customized anatomical simulation
• ID Safety Protocol System – A patient-centered surgical safety and monitoring framework

Under Dr. Park’s leadership, ID Hospital has grown into a global medical group at the forefront of aesthetic medicine and surgery. Since its founding, ID has been dedicated to delivering safe and innovative medical services, achieving numerous milestones in the global medical community.

In 2013, ID Hospital was designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) as an “Outstanding Institution for Attracting International Patients.”

This recognition marked a major step in Korea’s growing presence within the global medical tourism industry, establishing ID as one of the country’s most trusted destinations for international patients seeking advanced aesthetic surgery.

In 2014, ID Hospital became the first aesthetic plastic surgery hospital in Korea to receive official MOHW medical institution accreditation for patient safety and quality of care — a distinction representing the highest standards of medical practice nationwide.   This achievement reaffirmed Dr. Park’s steadfast commitment to creating a safe, ethical, and world-class surgical environment.

In 2021, the Korea Record Institute (KRI) certified ID Hospital as the hospital with the highest national surgical volume across seven categories, including facial contouring and orthognathic (double jaw) surgery.

This milestone not only reflected the hospital’s unmatched clinical expertise but also its reputation as a leader in both surgical innovation and patient satisfaction.

In May 2023, Dr. Park and his surgical team presented a research paper at the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), introducing an advanced breast augmentation technique tailored to the unique anatomical characteristics of Korean patients.  The presentation highlighted ID’s expanding influence in global academic circles, extending its expertise beyond facial aesthetics into the broader field of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.

Later that same year, in August 2023, Dr. Park received the Minister of Health and Welfare Award, recognizing his exceptional contributions to medical innovation, patient care, and social responsibility. This national honor reaffirmed his leadership not only as a skilled surgeon but also

as a visionary advancing Korea’s reputation in the global healthcare community.

As an invited speaker at numerous international conferences and symposia, Dr. Park has shared his extensive knowledge on topics including facial bone contouring, orthognathic surgery, patient safety protocols, and multidisciplinary collaboration within the global aesthetic medical field.

His lectures are widely regarded for their balance of surgical innovation, scientific evidence, and real-world clinical insight, drawn from treating patients from over 100 countries.

Today, under Dr. Park’s leadership, ID Medical Group continues to expand its presence as a global hub for aesthetic medicine — a comprehensive network that  combines clinical excellence, digital innovation, and patient-centered care.

Guided by his enduring philosophy — “True beauty begins with anatomical harmony and patient safety” — Dr. Park remains at the forefront of Korea’s medical advancement, shaping the evolution of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery on a truly global scale.
