About Gangnam Beauty Guide

Independent. Patient-first. Built for international visitors.
We research, verify, and publish information about plastic surgery clinics and procedures in Seoul’s Gangnam district — the global capital of cosmetic surgery. Our goal is to give international patients the unbiased information they need to make confident, safe decisions, with the same knowledge a well-informed local would have.

Our editorial process

1
Source — We gather clinic profiles, reviews, and ratings from Korean-language platforms (Naver, GangnamUnni, BabiTalk, Sungyesa) and international platforms (RealSelf, Google Maps, PurseBlog, BeautyHacker).
2
Verify — We cross-check credentials via Korean public registries (KHISS for clinic licensure, national society rosters for board certification) and confirm clinic details directly where possible.
3
Review — Every procedure, clinic, and guide page is reviewed by practising specialists from our advisory councils (below) before publication. The reviewer’s specialty is matched to the content — plastic surgeons for surgical procedures, dermatologists for non-surgical treatments.
4
Publish — Each page records its last-reviewed date in the byline under the headline. Material updates trigger a new review.
5
Correct — We respond to correction requests on a 3-business-day SLA. Send detail and sources to the contact address; substantive changes update the last-reviewed date.
