[Bio Times] The hospital announced that Director Do Eon-rok of Ilmiri (1mm) Plastic Surgery Clinic has been selected for the plastic surgery category of the '2025 Top 100 Doctors in Korea (Weekly Sisa Magazine)' for two consecutive years.

The Top 100 Doctors of Korea is an award given to renowned doctors selected by field from among the many doctors in the country who have contributed to the development of community medical care and the promotion of citizens' health, possessing both skill, character, and a caring heart for patients.

According to 1mm Plastic Surgery, Director Do Eon-rok was selected as one of the top 100 doctors in Korea in recognition of his contributions to improving patients' health and confidence, such as deriving optimized results for each patient through "preliminary diagnosis of anatomical characteristics different from each patient," based on his medical philosophy that plastic surgery is not merely about reconstructing a patient's face, but about "re-establishing that person's unique story and impression."

Director Do Eon-rok stated, “Rather than simply planning surgeries based on trends or fads, we aim for the safest and most predictable procedures possible by considering gender, age, anatomical characteristics around the eyes and nose, and functional conditions.” He explained that for Director Do, plastic surgery is not merely about changing one's appearance, but a form of psychological therapy that restores confidence.

He continued, “To this end, we conduct ‘front-lateral image analysis,’ ‘skin thickness measurement,’ and ‘muscle function tests’ prior to every surgery. After surgery, we focus on systematically managing patient post-operative care through a ‘recovery path tracking system’ with specialized personnel. Furthermore, the hospital has introduced self-generating power systems, automatic gas shut-off valves, and uninterruptible power systems to maintain a stable surgical environment even in emergency situations.”

Director Do Eon-rok stated, “The most successful outcome is when, after surgery, the patient can smile while looking at their reflection in the mirror, and those around them are also satisfied. While the number of surgeries performed is important, I am most interested in the number of ‘successful’ surgeries and prioritize minimizing failures.”
