Why do Chinese visitors choose a cosmetic clinic in Gangnam?
Gangnam is the centre of aesthetic medicine in Korea, and Sinsa — where our clinic sits on the 16th floor of 616 Gangnam-daero — is a short walk from boutique hotels, cafés and the shops of Garosu-gil. For visitors combining a holiday with treatment, that makes the logistics simple.
At UE Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lee Yoo-jung handles every stage herself. She has 14 years as a board-certified plastic surgeon and has performed more than 4,000 facelift procedures, and her style leans towards balanced, natural changes rather than an obviously "done" look. If you prefer a page focused on communication and interpretation, see our Chinese-speaking clinic page.
