Independent clinic guide

JK Plastic Surgery Center: an independent guide before you book.

JK has been treating international patients for longer than most Gangnam clinics, and it is a familiar name in the Gulf. Here is what the clinic states about itself, and the questions worth asking.

JK Plastic Surgery Center (JK성형외과) has operated since 1998 from Nonhyeon-ro in Gangnam, by exit 4 of Apgujeong Station. Its menu covers nose, eyes, facial contouring, body, breast and anti-aging, and the clinic notes an in-house anaesthesia team made up of anaesthesiology specialists and its own stem-cell research lab.

International patients are a long-standing part of the clinic. JK states that it is registered with the Ministry of Health and Welfare as a medical institution for international patients, that it holds the ministry's KAHF accreditation for hospitals treating foreign patients, and that it works with Seoul and Gangnam medical tourism programmes.

The clinic publishes websites in Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic and Indonesian.

Anti-aging

What to confirm before you book

These are the same questions we ask of every clinic. A good clinic answers them in writing without hesitation, and JK should be no exception.

  • Which surgeon will operate on you, named in writing — and that it is the same surgeon you meet at consultation.
  • That the surgeon is board-certified in plastic surgery and performs your specific procedure regularly.
  • A written, all-in quote covering surgery, anaesthesia, materials, medication and follow-ups.
  • Whether a price you were given elsewhere includes an agent's commission on top of the clinic's fee.
  • How follow-ups and complications are handled once you have flown home.

JK Plastic Surgery Center, answered.

Where is JK Plastic Surgery Center?

On Nonhyeon-ro in Gangnam-gu, Seoul (lot address 584-2 Sinsa-dong), next to exit 4 of Apgujeong Station.

Does JK have Arabic support?

The clinic publishes an Arabic website as of October 2026. Ask in advance whether an Arabic-speaking coordinator will be present at your consultation and on surgery day, rather than assuming it.

What is KAHF accreditation?

It is a Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare accreditation for medical institutions that treat international patients. JK states that it holds it. It is worth asking any clinic what accreditations it holds and checking them before you book.

How much does surgery at JK cost?

It depends on the procedure, the surgeon and what is combined. Rely only on a written, all-in quote that follows a consultation.
