Dear MEL Topic Readers,
As South Korea draws visitors chasing beauty, dodgy practices pose risks
A beauty clinic, also known as an aesthetic or cosmetic clinic, is a place that offers cosmetic procedures and treatments to help people improve their appearance and self-confidence. Beauty clinics provide a variety of treatments, such as double eyelid surgery, facial contouring, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and breast augmentation. South Koreans are keen on such cosmetic enhancement or improvement. For example, it has the highest rate of plastic surgery procedures per capita. There are many beauty clinics and hospitals specializing in cosmetic procedures and surgery, especially in the affluent district of Gangnam, Seoul. Last year, over 600,000 foreign patients visited South Korea for medical services as they are much less expensive compared with those in other developed countries. But are their procedures safe and reliable? Do they provide sufficient information to their patients? Also, those clinics and hospitals use social media and influencers to attract eager patients. Are they trustworthy?
