345 Plastic Surgery's Guide to Positive Pressure Operating Rooms and CCTV Systems for Safe Plastic Surgery

Hospital Safety Standards You Must Check Before Plastic Surgery

While plastic surgery aims for aesthetic improvement, it must fundamentally be predicated on medical safety. To open a plastic surgery clinic, one must pass strict guidelines set by the local public health center. This involves a meticulous evaluation ranging from operating room facility standards to recovery room configurations and emergency evacuation facilities, which is a crucial process directly linked to the patient's life. Located near Sinnonhyeon Station, 345 Plastic Surgery not only meets these standards but has also introduced an even more advanced safety system.

University Hospital-Grade Cleanliness System: Positive Pressure Operating Rooms and Scrub Sinks

One of the most critical things to guard against during surgery is infection from external contaminants. 345 Plastic Surgery is equipped with special facilities to prevent this.

• Positive Pressure System: Maintains the air pressure inside the operating room higher than the outside, blocking external dust and bacteria from entering even when the doors are opened.
• Touchless Scrub Sinks: A system where medical staff use a foot pedal at the bottom to control the water when washing their hands before surgery, without directly touching the faucet, thereby lowering the possibility of secondary infection.

CCTV Installation for Transparent and Honest Surgeries

To address recent concerns in the medical field regarding ghost surgeries or shadow doctors, 345 Plastic Surgery has installed CCTVs in all operating rooms. These can be monitored internally in real-time, and if a patient requests it, we assist with verification according to our procedures, thereby fostering a trustworthy surgical environment.

Emergency Preparedness: Equipped with 'Dantrolene' for Malignant Hyperthermia

Malignant Hyperthermia, which can occur with a very rare probability during general anesthesia, is an emergency situation that can be dangerous without the appropriate medication. In preparation for this, 345 Plastic Surgery is always equipped with the expensive, specialized medication Dantrolene, ensuring we are fully prepared to respond swiftly in the unlikely event of an emergency.

Resident Anesthesiologists and 1:1 Dedicated Care

The core of a safe surgery lies in anesthesia control. At our clinic, board-certified anesthesiologists are always in residence to monitor the patient's vital signs in real-time throughout the entire surgical process. Additionally, Dr. Park Jong-lim and Dr. Han Kyu-nam, who possess over 20 years of experience in their respective fields such as facial contouring (bone surgery), lifting, and breast surgery, personally take charge of everything from consultation to surgery and aftercare.

In particular, to alleviate patients' anxiety after surgery, we operate the '345 Doctor Call' service, where the operating surgeon personally checks on your progress over the phone to support a smooth recovery. We will lead a safe surgical culture by meticulously addressing even the smallest discomforts felt by our patients.
