Is it normal to have different doctors work on different things?

[Tulipsy71]

I had been in touch with a fairly large clinic about having different work done. I want some jaw area work, eye work, and a nose job. After going back and forth I was able to schedule a virtual talk with one of the doctors and he told me there will be three different doctors who would work on me. Is this normal? Is this considered a red flag? 

I guess I just had assumed only one doctor would manage everything.

It isn't normal but it isn't not normal. Every clinic is different. Some will have one doctor that does everything, others will have specialized doctors that do only certain surgeries. It is not unheard of so nothing to worry about!

It depends on the clinic. Some doctors will specialize in certain procedures so they only focus on a set of operations like berrygirl21 mentioned. 

You can verify any clinic on the official Medical Korea website if you have any concerns!

One of the clinics I had been in touch with has a few different doctors but they all seem to do the same work just on different days and if you need multiple procedures, you will have multiple doctors if it is done in a short time.

So I guess this is the case where clinics have multiple doctors? I noticed some of them only have one doctor. I am just trying to make sure I am finding the right information

Yup! Some places have multiple doctors that specialize in certain areas. You will find this outside of Korea as well. It makes sense when a clinic offers various surgeries and beauty treatments. A doctor that does hair transplants, for example, is very unlikely to know how to do a tummy tuck!
