Start with what you want to address, then choose a hospital
When choosing a cosmetic surgery hospital in Korea, consider whether its doctors and treatment approaches match your concerns. Santongsuai gathers options from its network, including Made Young, Jewelry, Banobagi, DA, Fresh and NUWA, so you can compare information and consult a doctor before deciding.
Once you have a shortlist, check who will operate, what the proposed technique addresses and how the hospital manages safety. Reviews should be considered alongside these details.
To compare the coordinator’s role as well, read the guide to choosing a Korean cosmetic surgery agency for Thai clients, which includes a checklist covering the company, hospital, costs, interpreters and postoperative follow-up.
Check the doctor and facility
- The doctor’s name, license, specialty and experience with the procedure
- The anesthesia team and monitoring of vital signs during surgery
- The surgical facility, emergency equipment, recovery room and transfer plan
- Reviews of several cases with similar concerns and starting anatomy, with a clear time since treatment
Check postoperative care
- Emergency contact channels and the person responsible at each stage
- Examination dates, stitch removal dates and criteria for flying home
- Referral documents if further treatment in Thailand is needed
- Costs for situations outside the package
Safety principles
Read the basic information from ASPS Patient Safety and use the consultation to ask openly about risks, alternatives and contingency plans.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose a doctor based on follower count?
Follower numbers do not establish suitability or safety. Review qualifications, experience, comparable cases and the facility’s systems together.
