Dr. Sang Hoon Park

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.
