Dr. Kim Hyung-taek is a board-certified plastic surgeon (Board Certification No. 1451, issued by Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare), with more than 20 years of dedicated rhinoplasty experience, handling both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery independently. His credentials, along with our clinic's official registration as a Healthcare Provider for international patients (Registration No. M-2024-01-08-7821, certified by the Seoul Metropolitan Government), are available for you to review.

We understand that verifying credentials matters enormously when you're considering surgery in another country — it's a completely reasonable thing to want confirmed before you commit to travel. Feel free to ask us directly for any specific documentation you'd like to see.

Consultation Tip

Don't hesitate to ask directly for Dr. Kim's board certification number and our clinic's registration documentation — a clinic confident in its credentials will always provide this without hesitation.
