After years of following Korean beauty trends and reading Gangnam clinic Seoul plastic surgery reviews, I finally made the trip. Coming from New York, I was used to high prices and limited options. Seoul was a revelation.

I chose 21 Plastic Surgery after extensive research. What stood out was their no-nonsense approach - no flashy marketing, just solid medical credentials and published research. Dr. Lee Won performed my rhinoplasty.

The Gangnam medical tourism experience is incredibly well-organized. My clinic arranged airport pickup, accommodation recommendations near Gangnam station, and all follow-up appointments. English coordinators were available via KakaoTalk 24/7.

Key learnings for anyone considering Korean plastic surgery from NYC:
1. Book consultations at 2-3 clinics before deciding
2. Stay minimum 2 weeks for proper follow-up
3. CCTV in OR = no ghost surgery
4. Verify doctors credentials on Korean Medical Association website

My rhinoplasty results are beautiful and natural. I saved over $10,000 compared to NYC quotes even including flights and 2 weeks of Seoul hotel stays. Gangnam truly deserves its reputation as the plastic surgery capital of the world.
