FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions from international patients about consultation, scheduling, and care.
- Q. Where is Umnagumo Plastic Surgery located?
- A. Umnagumo Plastic Surgery is located on the 6th floor of SB Tower, 318 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea — a few minutes from Nonhyeon Station and Sinnonhyeon Station on the Seoul subway. The clinic is approximately 45 minutes from Incheon International Airport by car.
- Q. What is the relationship between Umnagumo and Tokyo Nagumo Clinic?
- A. Umnagumo Plastic Surgery is the Korea branch of Tokyo Nagumo Clinic, originally established in 1988 in Ueno, Tokyo. The Korean clinic was opened in 2003 by Dr. Soonchan Eom, who served as the first Korean Chief Surgeon at Nagumo Clinic Tokyo. The Tokyo clinic group operates four locations across Japan: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
- Q. What is trans-axillary breast augmentation?
- A. Trans-axillary breast augmentation is a surgical technique where the implant is inserted through an incision in the armpit (axilla), following the natural skin folds. This leaves no visible scar on the breast itself, and the axillary scar typically fades into the natural folds within 6–12 months. Umnagumo has built a specialized trans-axillary breast surgery system since 2005 and applies this approach to both primary and revision cases when anatomically suitable.
- Q. Do you accept international patients for medical tourism?
- A. Yes. The clinic provides consultation and surgery in Korean, English, and Japanese. International patients are welcome to schedule remote video consultations prior to travel. Please contact the clinic in advance to coordinate appointment scheduling, accommodation guidance, and post-operative follow-up plans.
- Q. What languages do the doctors speak?
- A. Consultations are available in Korean, English, and Japanese. Dr. Soonchan Eom studied medicine and trained surgically in Japan and is fluent in Japanese as well as Korean and English.
- Q. How long should I plan to stay in Korea for breast surgery?
- A. A typical stay is 7–10 days post-surgery to complete initial wound checks, suture management, and the first post-operative ultrasound examination. Long-term follow-up (1, 3, 6, and 12 months) can be conducted via video call once the patient returns home.
- Q. How can I contact the clinic?
- A. Phone (English): +82-10-3116-5545. Office hours: Monday to Friday 10:00–18:30, Saturday 10:00–16:00 (closed Sundays and public holidays). For international inquiries, WhatsApp consultations are available at the same number — direct line to the board chair, who personally handles all English-language messages.
