Truman Customer Story Column

- Gangnam Clinic -

Gangnam is full of clinics.

Having many options is a good thing, but it can also leave you at a loss as to what criteria to choose by.
Price, reviews, location, the surgeon's credentials. People come to us with all sorts of criteria.

As one of those criteria, I would offer accumulated surgical experience.

Notarized certificate of Trueman Gangnam's No. 1 ranking for 5 consecutive years

No. 1 nationwide in gynecomastia surgery claims for 5 consecutive years (Trueman Gangnam Clinic) — certificate of fact notarized.

For greater transparency about our surgical experience, Trueman has had its certificate of gynecomastia surgery volume notarized by a law firm, providing only verifiable data. We will guide you with records you can check — not just words.

Based on the HIRA Healthcare Big Data Hub

“What a High Volume Really Means”

A high surgical volume is not just a number. It means exposure to a wide variety of cases.

The expertise built up through countless patients — each with a different body shape, different tissue condition, different recovery course. That is the foundation for consistent results.

A clean, professional environment is also the visible face of a space where that experience has accumulated.

“An Honest Word About Pain”

It would be dishonest to say that surgery involves no pain or discomfort whatsoever.
There are things you will feel, however slight.

We explain that part honestly. No exaggeration, no understatement.

“Patients who know exactly what to expect and prepare for it recover better.”

From Consultation to Aftercare

Performing a single surgery well and designing the entire process well are two different things.
What you're told at the first consultation and the care you receive after surgery both shape the final result.

Consultation

Accurate assessment of your condition and a transparent explanation of the surgical process

Surgery

Safe, precise surgery performed by a surgeon with accumulated experience

Aftercare

Systematic care and progress checks throughout the recovery period

That is why we have built this as a system. Good results come not from one doctor's skill alone, but from
the entire process, from consultation to recovery, working together as one.

To Those Considering Trueman

If you're still deliberating, I recommend starting with a consultation.
The decision can come after that. A decision made with full understanding is a decision without regret.

Trueman Gangnam will walk that path with you.
