The Gangnam area is home to a high concentration of plastic surgery clinics equipped with excellent medical technology and state-of-the-art facilities, earning it a reputation as the core hub of so-called 'K-Beauty.'
Many foreign patients are visiting Gangnam to receive high-quality medical services. This phenomenon demonstrates that South Korea's plastic surgery technology is recognized worldwide.
