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.
