With over 500 Plastic Surgery Clinics and over 1500 Clinics registered for International Patients in Seoul, how do you know
which clinic is the best? Here is what you need to know before having your cosmetic surgery in Korea. Things you should consider
before plastic surgery
Fact Check
1. Specialty Certification will give you Credibility
Make sure your plastic surgeon is board-certified the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (KSAPS)
Any type of medical doctor can legally perform aesthetic procedures, but you wouldn’t want your gynecologist to give you a nose job or your psychiatrist to perform a tummy tuck. The plastic surgery certification is the only one that requires a doctor to have 2-3 years of training specifically in plastic surgery in addition to their training in general surgery. These doctors are as specialized in the field as you can get, which is why you want them.
2. Experience will give you Good Result
Make sure the doctor you’re considering has extensive experience in the procedure you’re inquiring about.
Look for people with similar structure to yours and see how they were transformed. Surgeons tend to have a certain style, so it should align with what you’re looking for in terms of an end result.
3. Accreditation will assure you Safety
Find out if the clinics are legally registered to serve foreign patients
because if you are not satisfied with the results, you may need to be able to come back its always good to know how will these clinics manage if one wants to come back.
4. Informative Consultation will give you Confidence
You need to understand what to prepare for the surgery, how long is the surgery, what types of anesthesia, any expected side effects and post-surgery care.
Good surgical care does not end with the surgery. For most surgeries, plastic surgeons want to see the results and monitor your progress. You should inquire about follow-up visits and about the doctor’s policies should surgical revisions be necessary. Therefore the consultation is an important opportunity for questions to be asked and answered.
5. Rapport will make you Comfortable
Even the most experienced surgeon is not the “right” surgeon for every patient. You need to be comfortable with your doctor and feel confident in his/her abilities.
You should feel secure discussing any concerns with your doctor, and if the recommended surgery is right for me. Any successful relationship depends on good communication. If you feel something is off or you’re not sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page, its time you look further.
6. Resonable Cost will save you Money and Be Happy
Keep in mind that costs may vary considerably depending on surgeon experience and individual patient factors.
Not all patients can be treated with the same technique, and the complexity and length of surgery affect cost. Patients should note that cosmetic surgery is not usually covered by insurance.
