Many people from overseas country come to
Korea for plastic surgery. However, how do you find safe hospitals among
various hospitals? Let's take a look at 'Tips for Finding Safe Plastic Surgery
Clinics' by Chief Doctor, Jong Pil Chung of Cinderella in Korea.
1.
Make sure to select a board-certified plastic
surgeon by Korean Board of Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Jong Pil Chung: In Korea, there are a lot of
plastic surgery clinics or hospitals where the surgeons only have been certified in other specialty, but
not in plastic surgery field. Non-qualified doctors are graduted from College of Medicine in
Korea and taken national examination, but didn’t achieve qualification in
plastic surgery. To become board-certified plastic surgeon, the
surgeon has to graduate from medical school, acquire knowledge of plastic surgery professionally,
pass national examination, pass the examination again through five years of
practical traning, and get certification from Korean
Board of Plastic Surgery.
2.
Make sure if a board-certified anesthesiologist is
resident during surgery.
Dr. Jong Pil Chung: Majority of medical accidents in plastic
surgery are caused by anesthetic accidents. In the media reports about
accidents caused by plastic surgery, more than 50% of tragic accidents are
caused by anesthesia. In addition to the physician’s skills, the anesthetic
environment is also very relevant. Therefore, if you consider to get facial
contouring, two jar surgery, or breast surgery, you need general anesthesia. So
please make sure that the qualified anesthesiologist resides especially if you
are looking for aesthetic beauty. The anesthesiologist chooses a safe and
appropriate anesthetic method considereing the physical condition of the
patient and the time of operation. In addition to this, before surgery, the
patient’s condition must be checked completely in advance. In order to prevent
the danger that may occur during the operation, the patient is prepared to take
pre-operative examination such as breathing, pulse, blood pressure, and body
temperature.
3.
Make sure if there is emergency
medical equipment in hospital.
Dr. Jong Pil Chung: In
addition to the skills of the hospital and the surgeon, there is also important
factor to consider whether the hospital has emergency medical equipment. First
of all, professional medical facilities should be arranged so that they can be put directly
into the surgical field. The most important equipments are cardiac
defibrillators and medical ventilators. Furthermore, if the hospital has a large-capacity battery and an uninterruptible power system to respond to
emergencies such as power outages, the surgery will be proceed more safely. A
power outage can be thought of as a minor accident and the probability of
occurrence is low, but if it happens, it will lead to an accident. Especially
in hospital, a brief outage can cause irreparable tragedy.
In conclusion, in addition to the three tips mentioned above,
plastic surgeons must operate saftely for customers who want asethetic beauty.
Please make sure to find legitimate hospital and qualified physician who can
take charge of your face and life.
