The Korean Concept of “Doctor Shopping”

In Korea, locals rarely rely on just one clinic or one surgeon for all procedures. Instead, they practice what’s called  “doctor shopping” (발품) —visiting several highly regarded doctors, each specializing in a specific procedures and surgeries. After the consultation, patients will shortlist, compare and carefully select the best match for their concerns.

Why? Because:

Find the Right Specialist for Your Needs

Different surgeons specialise in different techniques and treatment areas. Consulting multiple experts ensures you meet the doctor who performs exactly what you’re looking for — not a generalist who “does everything.”

Compare Expert Opinions & Treatment Approaches

Each doctor may diagnose differently or recommend a  different approach for the same concern. By comparing opinions and prices, you’ll understand your options and choose the solution that matches your goals, budget, risk comfort, and desired results.

Chemistry, Communication & Service Matters

It isn’t just about skill — it’s about how comfortable, heard, and supported you feel. Meeting various clinics lets you choose the team whose communication style, care level, and vibe align with your expectations.

Safety, Transparency & 
No “Ghost Doctors”

Helps you avoid ghost doctors or clinics that do consultations with a senior surgeon but assign a junior “pay doctor” to operate. With multiple visits, you confirm exactly who will treat you and choose the safest, most trustworthy clinic for your needs.

How K Glow Planners Protect You

Seoul: The Global Beauty Capital

With over 500 clinics in Gangnam alone, Seoul is the world’s leading destination for cosmetic procedures. But this abundance of choice comes with challenges:

Agents pushing partner clinics that prioritize volume over quality

Tourist traps with inflated prices and questionable standards

Language barriers leading to miscommunication about procedures

Difficulty identifying specialists aligned with your unique needs and style

Overwhelming logistics of coordinating multiple surgeries, procedures, and recovery

Founder & Lead K Glow Planner - Julie Lee 이지현

Bridging cultures to bring you the art and science of Korean aesthetics.

My passion for beauty began with my own journey in my hometown, Gangnam in Seoul Korea — a life-changing experience that taught me how knowledge, care, and the right doctors can make all the difference. Today, I bridge my international experience and genuine curiosity to craft bespoke aesthetic journeys that feel safe, effortless, and deeply personal.

My recommendations come only from clinics personally tried or rigorously vetted for their artistry, integrity, and consistency among Korean locals — not tourist trends — so that you don't have to repeat the mistakes I once made.

Because true beauty isn’t about change — it’s about confidence, balance, and feeling alive in your own skin.

With a deep fascination for the science of aging gracefully, I believe beauty is both an art and a responsibility — to look vibrant, feel youthful, and live with confidence at every age.
