Haeundae (Busan) Plastic Surgery Clinics on Naver Place: September 2026 Record

This Haeundae search returned clinics around Centum City in U-dong, on the eastern side of Busan, rather than around Seomyeon. All seven organic listings from this September 16, 2026 search are in U-dong, Haeundae-gu. What sets the record apart is how many of them also paid for visibility: four of the seven ran ads in the same search. We removed those ad slots, kept the organic positions, and added a column so you can see which is which.

A Naver ad does not buy a place on this page, and nobody pays us. Four of these clinics paid Naver for advertising; none of the seven paid this site to be listed or positioned, and we receive nothing when a reader contacts one. We also do not arrange consultations or pass enquiries on. See our Commercial Disclosure.

U-dong listings and their ad status

Common questions about this Haeundae record

If a clinic ran an ad, why is it still listed?

Because it also appeared organically. The ad slot is removed; the organic position, earned separately, stays. Our Korean Review & Local Information Methodology describes how we separate the two.

Why does We Are The Plastic Surgery look so different?

Its position is Naver’s, and its own tags point to sebaceous and epidermal cysts, lipoma, wound closure and keloid treatment rather than the cosmetic procedures the other six promote. Tags are the clinic’s marketing, so read them as a description of what it advertises, not as a verified specialty.

Do the review and specialist figures prove anything?

Not about quality. Naver orders results by its own blend of review volume, activity, relevance and undisclosed factors; review counts show visibility, and blog reviews can be sponsored. The specialist column copies Naver and has not been checked by us against the national register. We do not rank clinics or publish “best” lists (see our Editorial Policy).

Seomyeon, Nampo-dong and the case for Busan

Seomyeon is the larger cluster inland and Nampo-dong the smallest. For context on Busan as a whole, read our overview of Busan clinics, districts and patient numbers.

Re-run the search, then verify

We searched “해운대 성형외과” on Naver Place. Repeat it at m.map.naver.com and you will likely see a different list, since Naver keeps reordering and mixes in paid placements that we strip out. It is a commercial directory, not a registry, and carries no licensing signal.

The checks that count are official. The registered institution list shows in English which clinics are registered to attract foreign patients. The Act on Support for Overseas Expansion of Medical System and Attraction of Foreign Patients (Article 6) requires that registration, including malpractice cover of at least 100 million won, before a clinic recruits patients from abroad; it does not make it illegal for an unregistered clinic to see a foreign visitor who books on their own. The Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons’ English specialist search confirms board certification for member surgeons (membership is voluntary, so absence is not proof of anything), important because any licensed Korean physician may legally perform cosmetic procedures without plastic surgery board certification. How to Verify a Korean Plastic Surgery Clinic Yourself walks through these plus KAHF accreditation, the legally binding posted price list and the things that cannot be checked.
