Aesthetic-medicine & plastic-surgery clinics: structural verification register
For every clinic we check who the responsible physician is, whether the official registers confirm the specialist certification and licence, whether the facility and the legal entity can be traced, whether the clinic publishes its own identifiers, and whether its advertising stays honest. We do not assess treatment outcomes, skill or complications, and nothing here is medical advice.

Score = weighted average of the axes that hold a value, on a 0–100 scale, per the open methodology. A score is published only when at least 75% of the axis weight is sourced. Axis cells show the 1–5 rubric value.

Registers we check against
Country map for South Korea, compiled 2026-08-29. Where a register class does not exist publicly, the corresponding axis is not applicable and is dropped from the normalisation — we never simulate a register.

What this register does not do
- We do not measure treatment outcomes, surgical skill or complication rates.
- We do not see clinics without a public web presence.
- Register classes this country does not publish are named as unavailable; we never simulate a register.
- We take no money from clinics, we do not book, and we do not refer.
- Fame, review volume, domain age and social-media following are not scored anywhere.
