Our Take
Banobagi is a strong choice for facial work, especially noses, with a dedicated rhinoplasty unit and a 'detailist' reputation for natural results. Its multilingual master-counselor model is genuinely built for international patients, and SNU-trained directors give it credibility. Reviews note occasional consultation/surgeon mismatch, so confirm in writing who operates and pin down the plan before paying.
