What Naver Place Actually Returned
A dated record of what Naver Place — the platform Korean patients actually search — returned for a “Cheongdam plastic surgery” query, in Naver’s own order. Not a ranking, not a recommendation.
Checked September 16, 2026
This is what Naver Place — the map and review platform Korean patients actually use — returned for a “Cheongdam plastic surgery” search, recorded in the exact order it appeared. The order is Naver’s, not ours. It is not a ranking, a recommendation, or a quality judgment from us, and paid ad placements are excluded.
Every clinic below is recorded with the same fields: the position Naver showed it in, its location by dong, its visit and blog review counts as displayed, the board-certified specialists Naver lists for it, and the treatment tags the clinic itself uses. Where Naver showed no data for a field, we leave it blank rather than filling it in.

How to Read This List
- Position is Naver’s, not ours. Naver’s ordering reflects its own algorithm — review volume, activity, relevance, and factors it doesn’t publish. A clinic near the top is not “better” than one near the bottom.
- Review counts are volume, not quality. Visit reviews and blog reviews measure different things, and blog reviews in particular can include sponsored posts. High counts mean visibility, not verified outcomes.
- “Board-certified doctors” is what Naver lists. Where a clinic lists specialists in other fields, we record that as shown rather than collapsing it into one number.
- Tags are the clinic’s own marketing. They describe what a clinic promotes, translated from its Korean keywords — not what it has been independently verified to do well.
- This is dated. Naver results, staff, and promotions change. This snapshot is from the date at the top of the page.
What This List Is Not
We don’t rank clinics, we don’t publish “best clinic” lists, and a position here is not a referral or a recommendation. This is a record of what one specific search showed on one specific date, published so you can check it yourself — every row links out to Google Maps and Apple Maps for exactly that reason. Our full approach is in our Editorial Policy and Korean Review & Local Information Methodology.
Related Neighbourhoods
Cheongdam returned no paid ad placements at all in this search, which makes it a cleaner read than the heavily-advertised Gangnam and Apgujeong results, where a large share of the visible listings were ads we removed. Samseong-dong is the nearest comparable cluster. For how we separate ads from organic results, see our Korean Review & Local Information Methodology.
Sources & How to Check This Yourself
Source of this list: a Naver Place search for “청담 성형외과”, run on the date at the top of this page. You can re-run it at m.map.naver.com, though you won’t get an identical list — Naver’s ordering shifts continuously and mixes in paid placements, which we strip out. Naver Place is a commercial directory, not a registry: it carries no licensing signal at all.
To verify any clinic here, the checks that actually prove something are official and mostly free. Whether a clinic is even legally registered to treat foreign patients is searchable in English through the government’s registered institution list — registration requires malpractice cover of at least 100 million won, and an unregistered clinic treating foreign patients is operating illegally. Whether a surgeon is board-certified can be checked through the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons’ English specialist search, which matters because any licensed Korean physician may legally perform cosmetic procedures without plastic surgery board certification.
We’ve written the full procedure up separately, including the licensed-institution lookup, KAHF accreditation, what the clinic’s legally-binding posted price list is, and the things about Korean clinics that genuinely cannot be checked: How to Verify a Korean Plastic Surgery Clinic Yourself.
On the specialist counts in the table: the “board-certified doctors” column reproduces what Naver lists for each clinic. We have not independently confirmed those counts against the national register, and you should not treat them as verified — use the specialist search above for the surgeon who would actually operate on you.
This page is written for readers researching plastic surgery in Korea. It’s general information, not medical advice and not a recommendation of any clinic. Confirm doctors on staff, current pricing, what a quoted price includes, and interpretation availability directly with a clinic before booking.

- Review counts measure visibility, not outcomes. Blog reviews can include sponsored posts.
- Specialist counts reproduce what Naver lists; we have not checked them against the national register.
We do not rank clinics, publish “best clinic” lists, or make referrals. To check any clinic yourself — registration, board certification, licensing — see How to Verify a Korean Plastic Surgery Clinic Yourself.
