Hi everyone, I'm Liyun from Taiwan. I've recently been looking into Korean cosmetic surgery reviews and noticed many are written in Korean. My Korean isn't good enough, so I'm a little worried about not understanding them or being misled. I'd like to ask you all, how do you determine if a clinic or doctor is trustworthy? Are there any obvious red flags I should be wary of?
I know I can't just look at pretty before/after photos, but what else? For example, if a review sounds too perfect, or uses a lot of Korean terminology I don't understand, is that a problem? Or do some clinics write fake reviews?
Also, if my English is better, can I use a translation app to read reviews? Is it easy to misunderstand? I want to do my research before a consultation, so I'd really appreciate your experiences and advice. Thank you!

I completely understand how you feel! I used to be confused when reading Korean reviews and wasn't sure if I understood them correctly. I think using a translator app is okay, but you should still be careful because sometimes they don't translate accurately, especially technical terms. The best way is to ask doctors directly through online consultations, and if possible, find a Korean friend or local person to help you read the reviews to avoid misunderstandings.
I understand your concerns. At first, I was confused by the terminology too. But I tried to find people in the clinic who spoke English to explain things clearly, and I asked them to write some things down in English to avoid misunderstandings. As for translation apps, sometimes the results are clear, but sometimes they can be inaccurate.
Hi! I'm in the same situation—wanting to find information about treatments in Korea but worried about misunderstandings due to the language barrier. I agree with you, it's better to look for reviews on international platforms or ask the doctor directly via email in English to be clearer and avoid any misinterpretations.
It's very clear that you're feeling some emotional rent, and so was I! In my understanding, translations can be used, but sometimes errors occur, and it's a good idea to compare several evaluation sources before going to a consultation to get an accurate tradition.
