성형외과“믿을 수 있는 의료진과 

시스템을 갖춘 병원”을 선택하는 게 우선

"Plastic Surgery". Above all, Choose the Clinic with Excellent Medical Team

작년 9월 전국적으로 대규모 정전 사건이 일어나 시민들이 큰 불편을 겪은 적이 있다. 갑작스런 정전으로 건물 엘리베이터에 갇히는 사람들이 발생하는가 하면, 일부 은행이 업무를 중단하는 등 혼란이 계속됐다. 특히 서울의 강남, 압구정 일대의 메디컬 스트리트 일대에도 국지적 정전이 발생해 수술 중이던성형외과에서는 수술을 하지 못하거나 지혈을 하는 소동 등이 벌어지기도 했다. 성형의 메카라고 자부하던 메디컬 스트리트, 이대로 과연 안전 할까? 

요즘 유행하는 안면윤곽이나 가슴 수술을 할 때에는 수면마취나 전신마취를 하게 되는데 만약 저번과같은 정전 사태가 일어난다면 어떻게 될까? 십중팔구 의료사고가 나게 될 것이다. 그럼 안전한 수술을위해서는 어떤 병원을 선택 해야 할까? 

1. 수술 전 건강 진단

성형을 할 때에는 혹시나 발생할지 모르는 응급상황에 철저하게 대비를 해 혈액 검사, 간 기능검사, 심전도 등 수술 전 철저한 환자의 상태 파악을 통해 안전한 수술을 진행해주는 병원을 택한다. 

2. 전문 의료인과 의료 장비 확인

안전한 마취를 위해 마취과 전문의 상시 대기하고 있는지 알아봐야 하며 수술 및 마취 후 환자가 충분히 회복할 수 있는 회복실과 응급 상황 시, 수술전, 중, 후 회복과정까지 전담하는지도 알아봐야 한다. 

3. 무정전 시스템

천재지변과 같이 예측 불가능한 상황에서 갑작스럽게 정전이 된다면 수술 중에 사용되는 장비들의 작동이 멈추게 된다. 이런 경우에도 안정적인 전원 공급을 위해 무정전 전원공급장치를 갖추어 안전하게 수술을 마칠 수 있는 시스템이 있는지 확인해야 한다. 

하지만 이처럼 수술 전 진단을 하거나 마취과 전문의가 상시 대기하고 있는 성형외과를 찾기란 힘들다.코리아성형외과 윤태환원장은 “성형수술은 무엇보다 부작용을 최소화하고 어렵게 수술을 결심한 환자의 만족도를 최대화하는 것이 중요하다. 경험이 풍부한 전문의를 중심으로 전문화된 의술과 의료시스템이 수술의 안전도와 만족도를 높이는 핵심이라 할 수 있다. 또한 믿을 수 있는 의료진과 시스템을 갖춘 병원을 선택하여 신중한 결정을 내리는 것이 현명한 자세다”고 조언했다. 

코리아 성형외과는 3층부터 6층까지 총 4개의 층으로 이루어져 강남 최대규모를 자랑한다.3층에선 진료 및 접수를 담당하며 각 층마다 피부과, 수술실, 입원실로 나누어져 있다. 의료진도 눈/코 성형, 안면윤곽, 가슴성형, 피부 등 각 분야별 전문의가 수술을 시행하고 있다. 주요 시술은 페이스오프 성형인 K-FACE, 눈성형, 코성형, 지방흡입, 지방이식, 안면윤곽, 가슴성형 등을 전문적으로 시술하고 있으며 현직 모델은 물론 연예인 사이에서 입소문을 탈정도로 실력을 인정받는 의료진으로 유명하다..

코리아성형외과 관계자는 “코리아 성형외과는 수술하는 사람의 눈을 즐겁게 하기 위해 수술하는 것이아니라 상처받은 분들의 마음을 치료하기 위해 수술을 진행한다. 진정한 아름다움은 화장이나 인위적장식에 의한 눈속임이 아니라 부분과 전체의 균형에서 이루어지는 우아한 조화라고 생각한다. 조화롭고 아름다운 얼굴과 체형! 이것이 코리아 성형외과가 만들어 가는 목표다”라고 설명했다.

There was a major blackout on a nation wide scale last September that caused great inconvenience to citizens. Owing to the sudden power failure, people got stuck in the elevator and some banks stopped their services, and the other confusion continued. Especially, the medical streets in Gangnam and Apgujeong area, the blackout prevented the plastic surgeons from operating in the clinic. The Surgeons had to stop the bleeding in some cases. They fancy themselves as bing the best plastic surgery in this area. But is it really safe now?

what will be the result if that blackout happens during the operation of the contour of a face or of the chest which need sleeping anesthesia or general anesthesia? In order to have a safe operation, which clinic should we choose?

1. Medical checkup before operation

We should choose the clinic in which the plastic surgeries will be safely carried out through the perfect understanding and examination of the patient, such as the blood type, liver function test, the electrocardiogram test etc. 

2. Checking up the doctors for plastic surgery and medical device 

We should check to see if the anesthesiologist is on call, and the recovery room in which the patient recovers after anesthesia and the operation. We should also check to see if he is in charge of a medical emergency, before and after operation as well as during the operation.

3. Uninterruptible Power Supply System in the Building 

The equipment can stop working during the operation when the blackout happens under the natural disasters of unpredictable circumstances. We should check to see if the Uninterruptible Power Supply System is in the building to supply the power in the major blackout, and the surgeon can successfully perform an operation.

But it is difficult to find plastic surgery with an anesthesiologist on a constant call before the surgery. Youn Taehwan, The director of the Korea Plastic Surgery, says that it is the most important thing to minimize the side effects and improve the satisfaction of the patient who make tough decision. The surgeons of wide experience and specialized medical practice system is the key to improve the safety and the satisfaction.
