sandymaxwell Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hey forumers, Have anyone known how to check what if doctor that we're interested to have surgery with is 'Board certified plastic surgeons' or not? I heard that some societies of plastic surgery in Korea are lifetime members, however some members are harder one to get, and can be forfeited if they did something wrong. One girl in this forum told me that most of GRAND doctors used to be 'Board certified plastic surgeons', but after shadow doctor accident, some of them no longer hold this status. List of clinics that I don't find this status, including Shimmian, Jayjun, MVP, Baum, Wonjin, GNG. This is just what I saw in their website, maybe doctors have but forgot to post it???? Can anyone give me some clarification on how to check? As far as I know many clinics don't have certified doctor. Is that true? Please advice.

sandymaxwell Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Plastic surgery is the principle of plastic surgeons. The Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Public Relations Director of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery said, "In the Plastic Surgery Residency course, about 3 to 7 courses of beauty surgery and reconstructive surgery (breast reconstruction of breast cancer patients) · There is no specialist in the area of specialist in the area of eye, breast surgery, etc. " Whether the doctor is a plastic surgeon can be confirmed to some extent by the billboard. According to the current medical law, only the members of a plastic surgery specialist are allowed to mark '○○○ plastic surgery' on the sign. If you are not a plastic surgeon, you will be marked as "○○ doctor medical practice plastic surgery". At this time, the size of the text for "medical practice" and "plastic surgeon" should be half the size of the "○○ member" (mutual), and if it breaks, the first correction order and the second business suspension 15 days. Kwon In-soo, a plastic surgery surgeon, said, "Some lawmakers do not make the letters of the lawmakers, the medical subjects, and so on the same as the signboard color, It is also a good idea to take a look at the certifications. " If you go to 'plastic Korea' (www.prskorea.co.kr), a plastic surgeon's specialist website, you can search for local specialty information. There are some lawmakers who have been awarded certificates of 'International Plastic Surgery Specialist', but this certificate has not been approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. It is not illegal for a doctor who is not a specialist or specialist such as obstetrics, gynecology, otolaryngology, surgery, and anesthesiology to do plastic surgery. Especially, nose and throat doctors specialize in nose surgery. Kwon Sun-heon, director of policy at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said, "As a result of a recent survey of hospitals in three districts of Gangnam, Seoul, there were 361 medical clinics and 521 medical clinics.

sandymaxwell Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Recently, there has been controversy in Busan Plastic Surgery, which has been receiving hundreds of millions of won worth of bribes and asking public relations agencies to post false or excessive publicity. Below is a news article on April 6, 2016. The prosecutors arrested a number of well-known plastic surgeons in Busan, who gave hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising expenses to advertising agencies to collect patients with illegal postings or over-advertising in Internet cafes. According to the prosecution's allegations, the director of the Plastic Surgery Association, A, etc., is charged with giving the agency an estimated amount of 609 million won for posting a false statement to promote plastic surgery from 2013 until September last year. The advertising agency that received the publicity fee compiled with the famous Internet cafe operator who shared the information about the molding, and posted false and excessive publicity articles.In this process, the cafe operator received a portion of the publicity fee received by the advertising agency from the plastic surgeon, and in return, 'OO hospital has no side effects.Swelling was also soon dropped 'and posted false and hype. They even hired someone who had never undergone surgery as a part-time job, and turned around and gave false comments.

theshortone Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 i read that korea doesn't allow non board certified surgeons to operate on foreigners. Only 2,200 board certified surgeons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute_lil_fiend Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Whether they allow these non-plastic specialist surgeons to operate on foreigners or not, it's certainly happening. Besides, enforcing such a law would be a logistical nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookatlinda Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I think this is really important issue for the patients... I would never allow myself for a non-plastic specialist surgeon to operate on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moniro Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hello everyone, I am looking for a good doctor for my brother who wants to do a rhinoplasty reconstructive surgery in Korea. Thanks to you I understood there are different kinds of plastic surgeons and on top of that some might also be suspended or not certified at all. My question now is how to tell what a surgeon is specialized in, or better yet how to find one specialized in noses, or reconstructing noses? I found the "Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons" website (http://www.plasticsurgery.or.kr/php/eng/s01_01.php) but their search engine doesn't work. Does anyone know how I could get a list of reconstructive surgeons? I also saw there is a "Korean Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association" (http://www.plasticsurgery.or.kr/conference/f75/html5/p_about_welcome.php) but I can't find a website to get a list of doctors. I would greatly appreciate any idea. Thank you, Monica PS my brother's kakao talk id is yannisdim (I've noticed some members post that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moniro Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi, I don't know if you spoke with him, he's looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon (a nose doctor as they call them). He spoke with many doctors and found about 3 he likes. He is mostly impressed with Kim Joon (or Jun) (김준) from baroko.co.kr But I could not find him on prskorea.co.kr, which is why we are a bit concerned. I guess he likes this doctor because he says he does only nose surgeries, but I couldn't find anything on him, except his facebook page and that he says he attended some congress meetings. He also saw one more surgeon that showed up with "Suspended of qualification" on prskorea.co.kr The doctor said that is just a club he is no longer interested in, so I've sent them an email asking what that meant but they did not reply, I've even called but I'm getting some Korean robot which I have no idea what it says. Does anyone know if prskorea.co.kr is for real or not, if a doctor does not show up there it means it doesn't exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanna159 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Whoa, I was going to get my eyes done at BK Hospital with Dr.Kim,ByungGun, who is the director of BK and is suppose to be certified, But checking from the PRS Korea website, it says he is under "Suspension of qualification"!!! This sounds so serious, there are quite a few doctors from the Gangnam-gu area that's under suspension. I wonder what they did...can't be from late payment of membership fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanna159 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 BK website still says he is board-certified. Can't trust anybody nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
