To start with the conclusion
We cross-analyzed 719 Naver Place visitor reviews, 3,510 KakaoMap reviews, and specialist registration information from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) for five contouring dermatology clinics in Seoul’s Gangnam area. Among them, the clinic with the highest number of KakaoMap reviews was 닥터손유나의원 (2,878 Kakao reviews, 4.9 rating) near Apgujeong Rodeo Station. In terms of ratings alone, 브랜뉴의원 (Kakao 5.0, Google 4.9) and 너와의원 (Kakao 5.0, Google 5.0) were both nearly perfect. That said, a large number of reviews does not necessarily mean higher satisfaction with procedures, and the right clinic varies depending on your facial structure and areas of concern. We recommend comparing the five clinics below by category and making your own decision.
How the analysis was done
This analysis was based on three types of data. First, we collected 719 visitor reviews registered on Naver Place and reviewed actual feedback from visitors. Of those, the 719 reviews were for 닥터손유나의원 alone, while the other four clinics did not have Naver review listings. Second, we crawled a total of 3,510 KakaoMap reviews (닥터손유나의원 2,878, 브랜뉴의원 228, 유라인의원 0, 너와의원 130, 하일리의원 274) to analyze rating distribution and recent review trends. Third, we checked specialist registration information published by HIRA to verify service categories and specialist availability. The average KakaoMap rating of the five selected clinics was 4.7. We focused mainly on recent reviews written between July 1 and July 24, 2026, and kept the original wording of each clinic’s reviews as much as possible.
닥터손유나의원 - overwhelming review volume, specialized in fat-reduction procedures
Located on Dosan-daero 53-gil in Gangnam-gu, 닥터손유나의원 has an overwhelming review volume among the five clinics analyzed, with 719 Naver reviews and 2,878 Kakao reviews. Its Kakao rating is 4.9, and its Google rating is 4.7. Based on HIRA registration, one family medicine specialist is confirmed, and the registered departments are family medicine, plastic surgery, and dermatology.
"I had to wear a sleeveless top, but the accessory breast tissue was really prominent... so I visited 손유나의원, a place that has been around for a long time and is known for good skill! The doctors had such strong experience that I wasn’t too worried, and they explained the design aspects and the things I was concerned about so well that I was very satisfied with the procedure." (filejh, 2026.07.13)
"I’m getting lipolysis injections and a combined fat-destruction laser along with Mounjaro!! I’m losing weight well, and the laser is helping manage my body line too... Since there’s no steroid, I don’t have to worry about side effects, and the ingredients are said to be semi-permanent, so" (eosl****, 2026.07.06)
The clinic is about a 6-minute walk (450m) from Exit 5 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station on the Suin-Bundang Line. Hours are Monday and Thursday from 10:00 to 19:00, Tuesday and Friday from 10:00 to 21:00 for evening consultations, and Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00. It is presumed closed on Sundays, so a phone call before visiting is recommended. The clinic operates by reservation only and offers parking, valet parking, separate restrooms for men and women, Wi-Fi, and a waiting area.
One thing to note before visiting is that the building is divided by procedure type across floors 1 through 5, so it is convenient to find out in advance which floor your reserved treatment will be on. Procedures mentioned in reviews, such as Cosela lifting, lipolysis injections (jibunju), and combined fat-destruction laser, appear to be used for body areas outside the face as well, such as underarm fullness, love handles, and the abdomen. If you are concerned about contouring, it may be worth discussing both facial fat distribution and body shape concerns during your consultation.
브랜뉴의원 - 5.0 on Kakao, a small clinic in Apgujeong Rodeo
브랜뉴의원 is a clinic located on the 4th floor of Ilsin Building, 437 Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, with a Kakao rating of 5.0 and a Google rating of 4.9. It has 228 Kakao reviews and 13 Google reviews, which is fewer than 닥터손유나의원, but its ratings are among the best of the clinics analyzed. HIRA specialist registration information could not be confirmed.
"The consultation was kind and made me feel comfortable, so I wasn’t scared, and the head doctor took such great care of me that my satisfaction level is the highest!! I’m 100% coming back. I’ll come again next time for Sculptra." (pra****, 2026.07.16)
"It was my first visit, and the consultation was quite detailed. I liked that the doctor personally examined my skin and clearly explained the direction for improvement. They checked throughout the procedure to make sure I wasn’t uncomfortable, and they gave detailed instructions for recovery, which made me feel reassured." (moch****, 2026.07.15)
The clinic is about a 5-minute walk (349m) from Exit 2 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station. Hours are Tuesday from 10:00 to 20:30, Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:30, and Saturday from 9:00 to 15:00. Monday hours could not be confirmed, so checking before visiting is necessary. Evening consultations are available only on Tuesdays until 20:30, and no explicit lunch-break closure was listed, so it is advisable to ask when making a reservation.
Parking and valet parking are available, and restrooms are separated by gender. Specific convenience facilities related to reservations could not be confirmed separately, so it is necessary to verify booking details by phone or through the clinic’s website before visiting. Since Sculptra was mentioned in reviews, many comments were about volume improvement and skin elasticity procedures, and numerous reviews highlighted the satisfaction of having the head doctor personally explain the consultation and treatment direction.
유라인의원 - 91m from Apgujeong Rodeo Station, best accessibility
유라인의원 is located in the Uline Building on Seolleung-ro 160-gil in Gangnam-gu and occupies a large building from the basement level 1 through the 5th floor. It has a Google rating of 4.8, while Naver and Kakao reviews are 0 and 1 respectively, so its online review data is relatively limited. HIRA specialist registration information could not be confirmed either, so it is recommended to ask directly about the doctor’s background and specialist status before visiting.
"I really understood why celebrities come here a lot for V-cut injections ㅇㅇ" (bloo****, 2026.07.23)
"I had actually been 고민 about whether to get liposuction or an arm-cut injection for a long time... Since the downtime is short, there are no side effects, and the reviews were so good, I chose the cut injection, and I have zero regrets and am very satisfied." (wkul****, 2026.07.14)
The clinic is only about a 2-minute walk (91m) from Exit 4 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station, making it the closest to the station among the five clinics analyzed. Hours are Monday from 10:00 to 20:00, Tuesday from 10:00 to 19:00, Thursday and Friday from 10:00 to 20:00, and Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00. It operates by reservation and offers parking, Wi-Fi, and separate restrooms for men and women.
One thing to check before visiting is that because the number of online reviews is very small, it is a good idea to ask for actual treatment photos or patient experiences during the consultation. Procedures mentioned in reviews, such as V-cut injections and arm-cut injections, appear to be non-surgical treatments for contouring the facial line, and several reviews note shorter downtime compared with liposuction. Since many reviews mention convenience for after-work visits, office workers should confirm evening reservation availability in advance.
너와의원 - 4m from Gangnam Station, a perfect-score clinic
너와의원 is located at 385 Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu and is the only clinic in this analysis to receive perfect scores on both platforms, with a Kakao rating of 5.0 and a Google rating of 5.0. It has 130 Kakao reviews. HIRA specialist registration information could not be confirmed.
"I can’t believe such a hidden gem opened near Gangnam Station! Once you experience the doctor’s touch here, you really can’t go anywhere else. It’s not just that the procedures are meticulous, but I was also moved by how kind they were in taking care of my follow-up." (hms****, 2026.07.18)
"After booking my first consultation, the waiting time was under 10 minutes and there was basically no wait. I got under-eye filler and aegyo-sal filler!" (꾸로플, 2026.07.20)
The clinic is literally right in front of Exit 7 of Gangnam Station on the Shinbundang Line, at just 4m away, so accessibility is excellent. Hours are Monday and Friday from 10:30 to 21:00 for evening consultations, Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 to 19:00, and Saturday from 10:30 to 17:00. Sunday hours could not be confirmed.
Detailed convenience information was not confirmed, so parking availability should be checked in advance. A review mentioned that the first consultation wait time was under 10 minutes, suggesting it operates by reservation with little waiting. There are reviews related to under-eye filler and aegyo-sal filler, so it appears that consultations may cover not only facial contouring but also eye-area volume improvement. This is worth considering for anyone prioritizing convenience near Gangnam Station.
하일리의원 - 31m from Apgujeong Station, many reviews about High Cut injections
하일리의원 is located on the 5th floor of 857 Nonhyeon-ro in Gangnam-gu and has a Kakao rating of 4.0 and a Google rating of 5.0. With 274 Kakao reviews registered, it shows a relatively large rating gap among the five clinics analyzed, so it is worth checking the review details carefully. HIRA specialist registration information could not be confirmed.
"High Cut 9 sessions + Juvelook Volume 3 sessions... The doctor always carefully examines my face and tells me exactly what seems lacking and what looks fine, which helped address my concerns precisely. Thanks to treatments matched to my facial structure, I’ve been told many times that my face looks prettier and smaller." (jsy****, 2026.07.24)
"There is only one doctor here, so I really like that the consultation and the procedure are all done directly by the doctor. Don’t go to a factory-style clinic—if it’s your face, even if you pay more, you should get a consultation and procedure directly from a doctor. It’s completely different." (치즈카레밥, 2026.07.21)
The clinic is just a 1-minute walk (31m) from Exit 4 of Apgujeong Station. Hours are Monday and Tuesday from 10:00 to 19:00, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 20:00 for evening consultations, and Saturday from 10:00 to 15:00. Thursday and Sunday hours could not be confirmed, so checking in advance is necessary.
It operates by reservation and offers parking, valet parking, Wi-Fi, a waiting area, and separate restrooms for men and women. Reviews repeatedly mention a one-doctor system in which the doctor personally handles consultation through treatment, and there are many multi-session reviews for High Cut injections (presumed to be the clinic’s signature treatment), High Neck injections, and Juvelook Volume. Since some reviews mention treatments organized in six-session cycles, it is a good idea to confirm the total number of sessions and total cost during the consultation.

Checklist for choosing a contouring dermatology clinic
- Specialist status — Search the clinic name on the HIRA website and check the registered specialty and number of specialists directly.
- Whether the doctor consults — It is important to confirm that the doctor who will actually perform the procedure provides the consultation, rather than just a consultant staff member.
- Private treatment room — If privacy matters to you, ask in advance whether individual treatment rooms are available.
- Downtime guidance — Ask for a specific explanation of recovery time and when you can return to daily life after the procedure.
- Number of sessions and total cost — For multi-session procedures such as High Cut injections, you should know the full number of sessions and total cost in advance.
- Side effects and steroid content — It is safer to confirm whether steroids are included in the ingredients used for the treatment.
- Reservation and waiting time — Check whether the clinic operates by reservation and what the actual wait time is from reviews.
- Parking and valet availability — If you are visiting by car, confirm parking space and valet parking options ahead of time.
- Evening consultation availability — If you are an office worker, it is convenient to check evening consultation days such as Tuesday or Friday.
- Aftercare program — Ask whether the clinic provides swelling management or follow-up check schedules after the procedure.
Warning signs to watch for
First, be cautious if the person handling the consultation and the procedure keeps changing, or if you are never able to meet the doctor directly before treatment. Since reviews repeatedly emphasize that the doctor personally consults and performs the procedure, it is worth reconsidering if that principle is not followed. Second, be wary if a clinic strongly recommends a specific procedure without explaining the ingredients or possible side effects. Third, if the specialist information or service categories registered with HIRA differ significantly from the clinic’s actual promotional claims, you should verify them in advance. Fourth, if the total cost or refund policy is not clearly explained when signing up for multi-session treatment, that also deserves close attention.
Frequently asked questions
Which Seoul contouring dermatology clinic has the most reviews?
Based on this analysis, 닥터손유나의원 had the most reviews, with 719 on Naver and 2,878 on Kakao. However, having many reviews does not automatically mean it is the right clinic for you, so it is important to check whether the actual review content matches your own concerns.
Which clinic has the highest ratings?
브랜뉴의원 and 너와의원 both received perfect 5.0 ratings on Kakao. 너와의원 also has a perfect 5.0 on Google, making it the only clinic with perfect scores on both platforms.
How can I check whether a clinic has a specialist?
If you search the clinic name on the HIRA website, you can check the registered specialties and the number of specialists. In this analysis, only 닥터손유나의원 clearly had one confirmed family medicine specialist, while the other four clinics were not confirmed in HIRA’s public information.
Which clinics offer evening consultations?
닥터손유나의원 offers evening consultations until 21:00 on Tuesdays and Fridays, 유라인의원 until 20:00 on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and 너와의원 until 21:00 on Mondays and Fridays. Office workers may find it helpful to book on those days.
Can injection procedures work instead of liposuction?
Reviews mentioned lipolysis injections, V-cut injections, arm-cut injections, and High Cut injections, with many saying downtime is shorter than with liposuction. However, the degree and durability of the effect can vary depending on an individual’s fat distribution and the number of sessions, so it is best to confirm the approach that suits your condition during consultation.
Can I just get a consultation and decide later?
Yes, most clinics offer consultations by reservation, and many reviews show cases where patients decided on treatment after the consultation. Comparing consultations across multiple clinics before deciding is common.
