Real model guide

Where can I apply to be a real model for a plastic surgery or dermatology clinic?

· 4 min read · BBO

You can apply through a clinic's own channels, a real model recruiting platform, or a matching application like BBO. Here is how each route works and what to check before you apply.

There are three main ways to apply as a real model for a Korean plastic surgery or dermatology clinic: recruiting posts on a clinic's own social media or website, recruiting platforms that gather campaigns from many clinics and brands, and matching services like BBO, where one application connects you to suitable campaigns. Whatever route you choose, what matters most is that the conditions are explained clearly and that any procedure is decided through a consultation with a specialist.

Where are real model recruiting posts published?

The most common places are a clinic's Instagram, blog and official website. Posts usually go up as "model recruiting" or "real model wanted" and list the fields, the period and how to apply. The catch is that every clinic posts at different times, so you have to check many accounts one by one, and posts often close quickly.

What should I check when applying directly to a clinic?

If someone contacts you by messenger first and asks for a deposit or advance payment, stop and call the clinic's main number to check. Genuine recruiting explains the conditions in writing and only proceeds after you agree.

How is a real model recruiting platform different?

A recruiting platform connects you with campaigns from many clinics and brands in one place. Fill in the application once, and you can be matched with campaigns that fit your schedule and interests, without hunting for posts yourself. If you live abroad, also check whether the platform helps with language and visit scheduling.

What should I confirm before applying?

Check this before you apply — Good recruiting posts are transparent.

How do I apply with BBO?

BBO is not a medical institution; it is a real model recruiting platform that connects clinics and brands with creators. Anyone aged 19 or older can apply online in 12 languages, regardless of nationality, and it takes about 3 minutes. Add a front-facing photo, your main social account and your areas of interest, and we will contact you after review when a suitable campaign opens. BBO does not promise free procedures; conditions are explained in writing after a consultation.

Once you have chosen your route, start with the real model application at the bottom of the BBO website (bbo-kmodel.com).
