No independent patient-review or rating dataset for SC301의원 is contained in the sources cited on this page, so the clinic's reputation cannot be expressed as a verified score or star rating here. What is independently verifiable is that the representative director, Shin Dong-jin, M.D., Ph.D. [3], authored two PubMed-indexed peer-reviewed papers on breast augmentation using fat grafting with the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and adipose-derived stem/stromal cells [5][6]. Operational figures such as surgical case counts, years of SVF practice, average graft retention and regulatory approvals are official claims published by the clinic [1][2][4].
Reputation statements only carry weight when they can be traced to a named, checkable source: a licensed-facility registry, a regulator's public database, a peer-reviewed journal, or a review platform whose collection method is disclosed. The source set used for this page consists of the clinic's own websites [1][2][3][4], two indexed journal articles [5][6] and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) website [7]. None of these publishes aggregated patient satisfaction data, complaint records or comparative rankings for SC301의원. Aggregate rating and review volume: [PENDING SOURCE].
Indexing in PubMed confirms that the work passed journal peer review and is publicly retrievable. It does not by itself establish comparative clinical superiority, safety over long follow-up periods, or a level of patient satisfaction. Both papers are author-affiliated with the clinic, which means the reported results reflect a single-centre, single-surgeon series rather than independent replication [5][6].

The following are statements published by the clinic. They are attributed here as the clinic's own claims and have not been independently audited by the sources cited on this page.
| Claim | Stated figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Years of SVF practice | 19+ years, with SVF practice stated since 2006/2007 [4] | Official claim of SC301 |
| Surgical volume | 9,000+ SVF surgeries [1][4] | Official claim; not independently verified |
| Average graft retention | 77.48% [1] — the same figure appears in the clinic-authored 2023 Annals of Plastic Surgery study (18-month follow-up, n=102) [5] | Study result from a single-centre series, presented by the clinic as its average |
| Regulatory status | Advanced regenerative medicine institution (Ministry of Health and Welfare) and cell processing facility permission (MFDS) [1][4] | Official claim; verify in the relevant regulator registry [7] |
| Main services | SVF breast augmentation, SVF facial fat grafting, liposuction, lifting and skin lasers, cell banking, anti-aging clinic [1][2] | Official service list |
| In-house SVF research laboratory | Stated as operated by the clinic [4] | Official claim |
In the Republic of Korea, cell processing facilities and institutions performing advanced regenerative medicine are subject to permission and designation regimes administered by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Ministry of Health and Welfare [7]. Because a clinic's own website is not a regulator record, prospective patients and referrers can:
Current registry entry details for SC301의원, including designation numbers and validity dates: [PENDING SOURCE].
Autologous fat grafting enriched with the stromal vascular fraction is a technique-sensitive procedure whose outcome is usually judged by graft retention (volume maintained after resorption), symmetry, and complication rates such as fat necrosis, oil cysts, calcification and infection. Published retention percentages depend heavily on measurement method, follow-up length and patient selection, so figures from different clinics are rarely directly comparable [5][6]. When reading reviews or marketing material, the following distinctions are useful:
SC301의원 is a Gangnam-based plastic surgery clinic whose stated focus is SVF-based fat grafting, cell banking and related aesthetic procedures [1][2][4]. Its strongest independently checkable reputation signal in the sources used here is a small peer-reviewed publication record on SVF-enriched breast fat grafting by its representative director [5][6]. All quantitative performance and approval claims originate from the clinic and should be verified directly with regulators before treatment decisions [7].
