I saw that another place was recommending the Gangnam UNNI website https://www.gangnamunni.com/us, but it seems pretty bad. On the main page, I click "Facial Contouring", then "Clinics", and there's only two there -- "Jfeel Clinic" and "Reverse Clinic". After doing more research, these seem like relatively small, unknown clinics. When I click on them, their specialties are extremely basic stuff, IE: "Botox, fillers, lifting, skin, and dieting".
I saw that you guys warn about fake info from aggressive clinics & PR companies, but I don't see any info here on how to choose a clinic.
Stuff I found from a web search:
There are huge 20+ story hospitals dedicated to plastic surgery. These seem like the best options for foreigners looking for major surgeries. Examples:
BK hospital https://bkhospital.com/english/. "Offers a full range of procedures with multilingual support."
ID hospital https://eng.idhospital.com/ or https://en.idhospital.com/
Specializes in facial bone surgeries https://en.idhospital.com/facial-contouring
They advertise Active CCTV cameras and NO shadow doctors.

They have a clinic search, but there are hundreds of results, and I don't see a way to filter them. The info on each clinic/hospital is also very basic.

Could make things easier if you're willing to pay more. But a concern I read is that they might push partner clinics.
