Hi, this is Mizuki. I'm interested in cosmetic procedures in Korea, but honestly, I'm not very good at Korean... Even when I look at review sites, I can't read everything.
How do you all find reliable clinic information? I've tried using translation apps, but I worry that I might lose some of the nuances. Also, when reading reviews, are there any red flags that make you think, "Ah, this is suspicious"? For example, reviews that only contain completely favorable stories, or something like that?
I'd like to hear about points that foreigners should be careful about, and experiences from people who have actually received procedures. How do you judge things?

Not sure which clinic to choose?

Yes, I understand your concern 😅 The translation app loses definitions. I was wondering if Mizuki has tried contacting the clinic directly via chat? Some places have English-speaking staff. I'm curious if you've tried that and what the experience was like?
Mizuki, I understand! Translation apps really do lose nuance, don't they? 😅 When I actually had the procedure in Korea, I looked for Japanese-language testimonials on social media beforehand and chose a clinic with Japanese staff. I do think that reviews that are "too perfect" are suspicious. Also, it might be a good idea to choose a clinic that doesn't seem annoyed when you ask lots of medical questions during the pre-procedure consultation. As a foreigner, you have the right to ask questions until you are satisfied!
