Concerned about shadow/ghost doctors in Korea

[BAjourney23]

Hi everyone! 

I'm a Korean/Canadian and have always wanted to get my boobs done. I have been doing tons of research on surgeons in Korea but feel super concerned about ghost doctors. 

Is this super common? How will I know that the surgeon I paid for is the one ACTUALLY doing the job? 

Going to Korea is most ideal because I want a doctor that understands my anatomy. I also want the Motiva implants, which are not accessible in North America. 

I would appreciate anyone's feedback, thoughts, etc. If you got your BA in Korea, please let me know where!

You can try asking the clinic if they have CCTVs in the operating room and see if they will let you view the recording.

You could also ask for confirmation by the doctor on paper that only they are performing the surgery and that there will be no shadow doctors. If they do sometimes use shadow doctors this could make them refrain from doing so as this document could be used in a lawsuit.

I would also have them sign on paper or in documents to sign that the doctor you met with will be performing on your face and take your phone to camera shot the documents. Also if you're going with a friend to have them watch the surgery in the observation room and be firm about it ! If they refuse then CCTV that you can view afterwards that the doctor indeed performed on you is a must .
