Frequently asked questions
Are these health guides written by HIGHST Urology Clinic?
Yes. HIGHST Urology Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul publishes these guides for international patients. Guides on urology and men's procedures describe care the clinic provides, using its own published information. Guides on other treatments, such as LASIK or rhinoplasty, are independent general information and say clearly that HIGHST does not perform them.
Does HIGHST Urology Clinic perform every procedure in these guides?
No. HIGHST performs vasectomy, adult circumcision, UroLift, penile implants, penis filler and enhancement surgery, and, through its body-contouring clinic, gynecomastia surgery and male liposuction. It does not perform eye, facial, hair, skin or women's genital procedures, or abortion care. Those guides help you find the right type of specialist.
Why don't the guides list prices?
Costs depend on your examination, the method and what follow-up is included, so a fixed online figure can be misleading. For procedures at HIGHST, you receive an itemized quote after a urologist examines you. For other treatments, the guides suggest asking each clinic for a written, itemized quote.
Can I ask a question before travelling to Seoul?
Yes. HIGHST Urology Clinic's English coordinators answer general questions on WhatsApp at +82 10-3487-1618 and on KakaoTalk. A final treatment plan and quote require an in-person examination with a urologist. You do not need a Korean ID or Korean national insurance to be seen.
