PENDING
claimed · pending Measured · 85%
M1 · Board-certified specialist (전문의) 4 · 24%
UNVERIFIED Signboard uses the specialist form 브라운성형외과의원; the 의료진 page lists 12 physicians with 9 explicitly labeled 성형외과 전문의 (incl. directors 김태규·이지원·류동완) plus 2 마취통증의학과 전문의. Independent per-doctor registry match not completed. source ↗
M2 · Foreign-patient registration (KHIDI) — · 18%
UNVERIFIED KHIDI foreign-patient registration not independently confirmed — heavy foreign-patient marketing legally implies registration, but the KHIDI portal is un-queryable and no registry entry surfaced; recorded as not-found, not a zero. source ↗ · provisional
M3 · Clinic registration (HIRA) 4 · 12%
UNVERIFIED Self-designated 의원 (clinic, not 병원) with business registration 211-09-48285 at 강남대로 475; the direct HIRA record is form-gated, with class corroborated by the business registration and signboard. source ↗
M4 · Operating-room accountability (CCTV) 5 · 10%
UNVERIFIED Explicit patient-rights disclosure on both sites: 'CCTV record will be provided by request', an anti-ghost-surgery pledge (대리수술·쉐도우닥터 없음, 1:1 책임 성형) and a resident anaesthesiology specialist. source ↗
M5 · Advertising compliance (심의필) 3 · 8%
UNVERIFIED No 심의필 ad-review number found on inspected pages; no overt No.1/guaranteed-result claims and a genuine risk disclaimer is carried, but marketing leans on before/after and testimonial volume. source ↗
M6 · Price / process transparency 3 · 7%
UNVERIFIED Consult-only with no itemised prices and no published deposit/refund policy; a genuine risk disclosure and interpreter follow-up aftercare are stated. source ↗
M7 · International-patient pathway 4 · 6%
UNVERIFIED ~10 language versions, airport pickup and accommodation, multi-channel messaging and interpreter follow-up after departure; no explicit 24/7 emergency-hotline statement. source ↗
Editorial · 15%
E1 · Operator continuity / franchise transparency 5 · 8%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Single named practice — three named directors, one dedicated building and one business registration, with no branch or franchise network (similarly-named clinics are unrelated operators, not branches). source ↗
E2 · Claim cleanliness & patient protection 4 · 7%
UNVERIFIED editorial — No documented red flag surfaced for this clinic in targeted searches (the 2016 권대희 case is a different clinic); own materials carry risk disclosure and an anti-ghost-surgery pledge. source ↗

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate surgical outcomes, a doctor's skill, complication rates or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the board-certified specialist (전문의) who operates, the clinic's registration (HIRA / KHIDI), what it discloses about the operating room and its advertising, the prices and the international-patient pathway — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
