FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a board-certified plastic surgeon and a general doctor?

To become a board-certified plastic surgeon, one must complete 1 year of internship and 4 years of residency (5 years total) after obtaining a medical license, then pass a national board examination. In contrast, any doctor who passes the national medical exam can legally practice in any specialty, meaning non-specialists can also perform cosmetic procedures.

How can I tell if a clinic has a board-certified plastic surgeon?

Clinics with board-certified plastic surgeons display their name as "OO Plastic Surgery Clinic" with uniform text sizing. If you see formats like "OO Clinic - Department: Plastic Surgery" or "OO Medical Center - Plastic Surgery," it likely means the doctor is not a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Is it legal for non-specialists to perform plastic surgery?

In Korea, any doctor who passes the national medical exam can legally perform medical procedures without completing residency training. Recently, there has been growing concern as more young doctors skip specialized training and enter the cosmetic surgery field directly, raising patient safety issues.

How can I verify if a doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon?

You can search for board-certified plastic surgeons nationwide through the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons website (prskorea.co.kr). You can also directly verify that the specialist certificate issued by the Minister of Health clearly states "Plastic Surgery."
