Medical Staff
Two chief directors at TheLINE
Dr. Yoosuk Chung and Dr. Jaeho Cho work side by side.
Yoosuk Chung, Plastic Surgeon
The Arch deep plane facelift,
Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Chief Director
A board-certified plastic surgeon with 32 years of experience who holds to his principles. He has performed more than 100,000 body and facial procedures.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has stood at the operating table for 32 years. He has presented the techniques and anatomical expertise he built over those years, including the 3Point deep plane facelift he developed himself, at international conferences and shared them with surgeons around the world. Beyond stem cells and body contouring, he now focuses on natural anti-aging surgery for patients in midlife.
Medical philosophy
On the days I perform lifting surgery, I often stay up all night checking the patient's condition and reviewing every detail of the operation. I have confidence and pride in my surgical technique, but I believe that closely monitoring a patient after surgery until the result settles safely is just as much a part of the surgery itself.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung's story
My mentor, my role model, had more experience than anyone, yet he still made a surgical plan and reviewed it thoroughly before every operation. Learning that up close, I too have made it a habit over the past 32 years to prepare carefully and to perform each surgery by the book. A surgeon's sincerity and commitment to principle remain the values I hold most important.

Jaeho Cho, M.D. Ph.D.
Named one of the "2000 Outstanding Intellectuals
of the 21st Century" for his work in liposuction,
Dr. Jaeho Cho, Chief Director , Chief Director
31 years on one path, and never once the same body. He has performed more than 50,000 body contouring procedures.
Dr. Jaeho Cho is a liposuction surgeon who has studied stem cells, fat surgery and body lifting for 31 years. The techniques and anatomical expertise he built over that time have become a reference point not only in Korea but around the world.
Medical philosophy
Distinct contours, minimal scarring, less swelling and bruising. Over 31 years and more than 50,000 procedures, including autologous ECM and SVF anti-aging treatment, stem cell-rich SVF liposuction and fat grafting, abdominoplasty and breast procedures, I have never seen two identical body types. Rather than fitting the body to a surgical method, I adapt the method to each person's body. The surgical data of 50,000 different patients is the basis for that.
Dr. Jaeho Cho's story
I love basketball, though I was not a good player at first. In high school I practiced shooting 100 times a day without missing a single day, and I still practice regularly and play as a shooter in an amateur basketball team. I am a consistent person. Once I start something, I see it through to the end. That perseverance is what built my skill, and I take pride in the process.

Miran Park, Anesthesiologist
Strict, safe anesthesia above all else,
Dr. Miran Park
A board-certified anesthesiologist handles anesthesia and pain management before and after surgery, treating every patient like her own family.
- 01
Anesthesia that follows protocol
I do not believe in cutting corners. Because an anesthesiologist's work is directly tied to the patient's life, I adhere strictly to protocol so that every patient is kept as safe as possible.
- 02
Anesthesia that is monitored and documented
I monitor and document every detail so that each patient wakes up from anesthesia normally and without harm.
- 03
Medicine that sustains life
Anesthesia may seem like little more than a way to reduce pain, but after many years in the operating room I have come to realize that it is one of the most critical practices in sustaining a patient's life, and I strive to serve every patient with dedication.

Case notes written by the operating surgeons
The surgeons who performed each procedure record the case and their medical reasoning firsthand.
