In recent years, with the full recovery of international routes, the trend of “shawing Seoul on weekends” and “showing a new face to Gangnam” has re-emerged as a trend for Hong Kong and mainland lovers. However, with the high heat, it's a true and incontrovertible explosion on all the major social platforms: "Assisting to Korea, there's no way to defend itself" and "A net red has disfigured a skin in Korea"...
These gruesome words have kept the hearts of countless obscurantists: is the failure rate really high in South Korea? What are those port consumers who travel to Korea afraid of?
Today, as a website editor for the deep-tilled American industry, we will not blow black, using the most real industry intel and big data, to break down the four great pits of Hong Kong's health care to which Hong Kong's consumers are most afraid, and deliver a “mine-proof guide” that will save your life.
I. Is the rate of plastic failure in Korea really high? Use the data to restore the truth.
First, we need to clarify the logic that “the total number of failures” is not the same as “high failure rates”.
Korea, as the leading global health industry, has an extremely large base of surgery. According to incomplete statistics from the Korean Society for Synthetics, hundreds of thousands of patients are treated overseas each year. Under such a large base figure, even if the failure rate is contained in a very low percentage, the absolute number would appear alarming. Added to the “survivor bias” effect of the Internet, the fact that successful people tend to return to their lives in a low-profile manner, and that patients who fail or are not satisfied with the operation tend to speak more online, leads us to the visual feeling that “the whole South Korea is failing every day”.
Objectively, the technology and aesthetics of doctors at the Korea front-line regular major hospitals remain at the international forefront. The perpetrators of the impression of a “high failure rate” are often not the South Korean medical technology itself, but the ripple effect of informal channels.
ii. What is the worst fear of Hong Kong-based consumers going to HAN-mi?
Through in-depth data mining on platforms such as the Little Red Book, the Dcard (Taiwan Eminent Forum), the LIHKG (Hong Kong Lenden Forum) and the New Oxygen Forum, we find that Hong Kong-based consumers travel to Korea with a sense of fear focused on four main areas:
Most afraid of “shadow doctors (phantom surgeries)”
This is the highest point of fear for Hong Kong-based consumers. The so-called “shadow doctor” refers to a famous director of a star at the time of the interview, who promised to operate in person; but when you were anesthetized and unconscious, the knife was secretly replaced by an inexperienced intern or “unlicensed illegal Traveller”.
Aftereffects: Post-operative effects are not asymmetrical in terms of plate, face profile or even cause serious medical accidents.
Most afraid of “Factory Clinics”
In the south of Seoul, there is a large number of plant-based dermatology units that play “low-cost, fast-paced”. Such institutions receive thousands of customers on a daily basis as water lines.
Hong Kong customer pains: Too often, a “consultant head” who does not speak Chinese has a hard set to sell for a hot meal, and a doctor has less than three minutes to see him and even has no direct access to the design. This treatment, which lacks personalized communication, can easily lead to “non-satisfactory post-operative effects”, which in the minds of the beauties are “hidden failures”.
Most afraid of “China and Korea double price and black broker”
Owing to the lack of language and information barriers, Hong Kong-based consumers are very afraid that they will receive three to five times as much as Koreans. A number of non-compliant “black agents” take kickbacks and package high-priced human gas projects into “Facult Women's Days” and make consumers blameless.
Most afraid of “cross-border advocacy, language is not mute”
In the event of less-than-anticipated operations or complications, port-based consumers in foreign countries face significant time and economic costs. The lack of language, familiarity with Korean law, and the cumbersome nature of transnational proceedings have led many people to end up “striking their teeth and blood” and to post their stories online.
III. A guide to insider protection: How to reduce the failure rate to 0 per cent?
If you know the source of fear and want to be safe and beautiful, you have to learn to screen like people in the industry. The following four iron laws suggest that every beauty seeker planning to go to Korea should recite the full text:
Locked down “officially certified qualifications” and rejected the absence of clinics
Korea has tens of thousands of dermal and orthopaedics, but not all hospitals are qualified to receive foreign patients.
Verification criteria: The selection of a regular hospital with “expatriate patient recruitment qualifications” issued by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare must be made. These hospitals are under strict official supervision for fire, first aid and medical qualifications.
Rejecting blindness and low prices and being alert to the “China-South Korea Double Standard”
Remember, "a penny and a penny" is the eternal truth in the medical world. If you see on the Internet a Thermage or nose surgery well below market prices, you must be vigilant.
Editor: Do more work before the operation and refer to transparent price bands within the industry. For example, at the official old-named compound in Seoul Gangnam District, the high-cost nose repair or initial nose customization, which is operated by Professor Kim Jae-hoon himself, is usually between 25,000 and 95,000 RMB, while the hot-end anti-deficit light power, such as the Hot Marge 600, is usually in the range of 15 to 25,000 RMB. If the offer was so low, it was doubtful whether there were problems of spotting, dilution or replacement of doctors.
Unequivocal rejection of the “ghost doctor” prior to the operation and request for a physical verification
In-depth communication with the master surgeon is required during the interview.
Pipeproofing Operations: Explicitly express to the chief of the room and to the doctor the concern about the “shadow doctor”. The hospital is required to open a hot Marge probe or urea injection in front of the operation and to support official scrutinizing. Large, well-proclaimed, old, single-house hospitals (e.g., compliance agencies with stand-alone buildings) are often more sensitive to their own feathers and are extremely rigidly managed in this regard.
4. Make good use of official channels for advocacy, and pay back tax returns
As foreign tourists, most of the cosmopolitan consumption in regular medical institutions in Korea is covered by the Tax Refund.
The payment of a tax refund, which not only saves you a sum of money, but also a “coercion” for your regular medical services in this hospital. In the event of a subsequent dispute, a direct complaint can be made to the Korea Medical Disputes Coordinating Agency (KCA) or the Korea Tourism Development Agency (1330 Tselhohohohoho) and official intervention is far more efficient than an individual ' s access to a hospital.
IV. EDITOR ' S SUMMARY: SUSTAINABLE TO BE PERFECT IS THE BEST MEDICAL Beautiful. Yes.
Returning to our original question: Is South Korea with a high rate of plastic failure?
The answer is: Korea has the world’s most mature and cutting-edge group of medical technology and doctors, but if it falls into the trap of low-cost, black-intermediaries, and unskilled workshops, the failure rate anywhere will be 100%.
For Hong Kong and local consumers, it should not be a “high bet” of luck, but a “fall-down” change of beauty based on adequate homework, rational consumption, search for formal institutions and famous directors. Abandoning blind anxiety and holding arms for rights will enable you to welcome your appearance safely and confidently in the streets of Seoul.
