Hi everyone! I'm Lan, and I'm planning to get a small procedure done in Seoul in the second half of this year, but I know absolutely nothing about the geography of Seoul. I've heard that Gangnam and Apgujeong have a lot of beauty clinics, but I'm not sure if that's true. I wanted to ask experienced sisters out there, which areas do you usually stay in when you go to Seoul for beauty treatments?

I'm looking for a place that's convenient for transportation and also good for dining and shopping nearby. Some people say Gangnam is particularly expensive, while others say Apgujeong is more concentrated... but I've never been, so I'm completely clueless. Do you have any recommendations? Would staying closer to the clinic be more convenient for recovery?

Also, I wanted to ask, if I were to stay in Seoul for about a week, which areas do you think have more hotel options? I'm coming from abroad, so I'm looking for a relatively safe place with clear transportation routes. I really appreciate everyone's advice!
