How to choose a plastic surgery clinic in South Korea

Check the license and accreditation. Ask for the certificates and check them with the body that issued them. JCI status can be looked up in JCI's directory.
Read the reviews yourself. Open the Google and Trustpilot pages linked above and read the recent and the negative reviews, not just the score.
Get the quote in writing. It should say who treats you, what is included, how long you stay and what happens if there is a complication.
Plan follow-up at home. The CDC advises arranging follow-up care in the U.S. and travel insurance that covers medical evacuation before you go.

Checking a clinic in South Korea: Clinics in Korea that treat foreign patients must be registered with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's foreign-patient program. Since 2023 you can also ask for your operation to be recorded under Korea's operating-room CCTV law.
