Hi everyone, I'm Jia. I've been thinking about getting a small procedure done in Seoul recently, but my Korean isn't great, so I can't understand a lot of the local review sites. Can anyone tell me how to tell if a clinic's reviews are genuine? Especially those that seem too perfect, they feel a bit suspicious...
What I'm most afraid of is falling into a marketing trap, like places that seem super cheap or promise overly exaggerated results. Also, are there any obvious red flags I should watch out for? Like doctor qualifications, clinic environment, etc. As a foreigner, how can I verify these?
Additionally, has anyone used translation tools to read reviews? How accurate are they? I'm a bit lost on where to start right now. If any experienced sisters could share how they do their research, I'd be so grateful!

That's a really great question! I'm in the exact same boat – planning to be in Seoul for a few months and struggling with which clinics to trust. You had a good idea about looking at online reviews, but most of them can't be trusted. I think we need to find a way to ask people who have already been through it for recommendations!
I totally understand how you feel. At first, I was very hesitant too because I read reviews and didn't understand them, and I was afraid of finding places with fake reviews. Now, I try to find places with reviews from various websites and see if people say the same things. However, if you're unsure about the language, why not ask a friend or a tour guide who is Thai and has been there before? You'll get genuine opinions.
As a fellow foreigner, I can totally relate to your struggles! I was wondering, have you considered finding some English-speaking consultants to help you with translations and confirming details? I think this could prevent a lot of misunderstandings.
