Most foreign patients flying to Seoul for breast augmentation arrive with a Motiva-vs-Mentor-vs-Sebbin comparison in their head, expecting a long brand discussion in the consultation.

It’s because they do four very different procedures depending on what your starting belly button actually looks like.

Half the patients who fly to Seoul asking for ‘dark circle surgery’ don’t have a dark circle problem. They have a shadow problem — and the source of the shadow decides which surgery actually fixes it. Three conditions, three different procedures.
