About Myeongdong & Jung-gu
Myeongdong is the shopping and hotel centre of Seoul and is popular with first-time visitors. Several dermatology and aesthetic clinics operate here with staff used to international patients.
The area suits short, single-session skin treatments that fit around sightseeing. For surgery, choose a clinic based on the surgeon and safety checks first, then find accommodation nearby.
