Why Gangnam?

Gangnam has over 500 plastic surgery clinics in a 7 km² area — the highest concentration worldwide. South Korea performs more cosmetic procedures per capita than any other country, and Korean surgeons are trained in techniques developed specifically for Asian facial anatomy.

Since September 2023, mandatory CCTV in operating rooms provides an extra layer of patient safety — a regulation unique to South Korea that gives international patients additional peace of mind.
