CLINIC RECORD · JW-PLASTIC-SURGERY issued 2026-07-08 · v1
JW Plastic Surgery, Seoul
Samseong-ro, Gangnam · Plastic surgery · 의원 (clinic)
Plastic surgery (성형외과)
Specialist (전문의) — named
Measured · 85%
M1 · Board-certified specialist (전문의) 5 · 24%
UNVERIFIED Six operating doctors presented as 성형외과 전문의; legal name 'JW정원성형외과의원' uses the specialist-integral signboard form (not the '진료과목 성형외과' non-specialist pattern). Corroborated indirectly — four lectured at APS Korea 2025; two listed as KSPRS lifetime members. source ↗
M2 · Foreign-patient registration (KHIDI) 5 · 18%
UNVERIFIED Registered foreign-patient attraction institution (not claim-only): Gangnam-gu government medical-tourism listing shows KHIDI 유치업등록번호 M-2020-01-08-5809. source ↗
M3 · Clinic registration (HIRA) 4 · 12%
UNVERIFIED Institution type 의원 (clinic), not 병원, specialty 성형외과; 사업자번호 211-09-47966, 서울 강남구 삼성로 553 (own JW정원성형빌딩). Type consistent across government listing + modoodoc; no direct HIRA row rendered. source ↗
M4 · Operating-room accountability (CCTV) 3 · 10%
UNVERIFIED Accountability disclosures present: an explicit no-ghost-surgery pledge ('쉐도우 닥터에 의한 대리성형 NO') and a '수술실 CCTV' badge (platform notes it is clinic-submitted and does not guarantee installation), plus a resident anesthesiologist. No patient right-to-request-recording language found. source ↗
M5 · Advertising compliance (심의필) 2 · 8%
UNVERIFIED No 심의필 (ad pre-review) number found on fetched pages (the English site returned HTTP 403, so it was not inspectable — null, not proof of absence). The English homepage uses '#1 Plastic Surgeons in Korea' — a No.1/superiority framing. source ↗ · provisional
M6 · Price / process transparency 2 · 7%
UNVERIFIED Not itemised — consult/event-based. modoodoc shows '비급여 가격표는 현재 준비중입니다' (no published non-covered price list); the English site runs event/package 'Beauty Tour Promotion' pricing. No deposit/refund policy in retrieved content. source ↗
M7 · International-patient pathway 4 · 6%
UNVERIFIED International pathway disclosed and developed: coordinators in five languages (English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Thai), 1:1 from airport to departure; Gangnam government listing adds Korean/English/Chinese/Russian interpretation. Written-consent/dedicated-emergency protocol not separately documented. source ↗
Editorial · 15%
E1 · Operator continuity / franchise transparency 5 · 8%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Single named practice, strong operator continuity — occupies floors 3–7 of its own building (JW정원성형빌딩), one address (삼성로 553), one business registration (211-09-47966), six individually-named attributable specialists. The two web presences (jwbeauty.com KR / jwbeauty.net EN) are the same clinic, not branches. source ↗
E2 · Claim cleanliness & patient protection 4 · 7%
UNVERIFIED editorial — No documented red flag for this clinic — 대리수술/의료사고/사망/행정처분 searches surfaced only other clinics' cases (e.g., the 권대희 death at a different clinic). The only claim-cleanliness concern is the '#1' superiority phrasing. Absence of a found record is not proof of none. 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.
