FAILS THE 2-INDEPENDENT-SOURCE BAR — RECOMMEND EXCLUSION or hold at TIER 3 pending independent confirmation. The surgeon (정주환 / Dr. Chung) is real and current, but EVERY corroborating source traces back to self-operated web properties: talleadclinic.com, en.talleadclinic.com, and limblengtheningsurgery.org (all his own). No Reddit, no independent doctor directory (Medieus/Goodoc/Modoodoc returned nothing for Tallead), and no confirmed Google Maps / Google Business Profile listing were found. Aggregators (PlacidWay, Health-Tourism) do not count. RED FLAGS: (1) clinic contact email is a generic Gmail ([email protected]), atypical for an established hospital; (2) location discrepancy — Korean site says Incheon Songdo Posco Tower, the English limblengtheningsurgery.org site says Yang-Joeng Tower, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi (possible relocation or parallel branding). Contact fields are published on the clinic's own site, not guessed. A verified headshot of Dr. Chung exists on limblengtheningsurgery.org but is self-sourced (medium confidence) so no photo is kept. | cosmetic-focused; existence confirmed, sourcing thin | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (gap-country pass); codex web-search cross-checked.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
