Safety System

Atelier Plastic Surgery Safety Care System

The Atelier Plastic Surgery Safety Care System is a management framework with stage-by-stage standards for the safety of surgery and treatments, from anesthesia management to emergency response, infection prevention and recovery care.

Safety does not begin on the day of surgery. It is one continuous process that starts with pre-operative tests and the anesthesia plan and runs through monitoring during surgery, observation in the recovery room, follow-up after discharge and aftercare. Atelier Plastic Surgery sets a standard at every stage of that process, and the Director checks each one herself.

What she learned in reconstructive surgery at a university hospital was how to prevent complications and how to manage them when they occur. Applying that standard, unchanged, to aesthetic surgery in a private clinic is the Safety Care System.

Four Stages

Standards at four stages

  1. 01
    Anesthesia management

    Basic pre-operative tests such as blood tests and an ECG confirm that you are fit for anesthesia. For general-anesthesia surgery, an anesthesiologist takes charge before, during and after the operation, and your vital signs are monitored continuously throughout.

    • Basic pre-operative tests and anesthesia consultation
    • Anesthesiologist on the team for general anesthesia
    • One general-anesthesia surgery per day
  2. 02
    Emergency response

    Emergency medications and equipment are kept in the operating room, and the medical team is trained in the response procedures. Every surgery and treatment is performed by Dr. Juyoung Go herself, and CCTV is installed in the operating room to remove any worry about substitute surgeons.

    • CCTV installed and operating in the operating room
    • Emergency medications and equipment checked regularly
    • Every operation performed by the Director
  3. 03
    Infection prevention

    A separate instrument sterilization room is maintained, and surgical instruments are sterilized for every operation. The sterilization system runs under the supervision of the Director, who has treated infection control as a priority since her university-hospital years.

    • Separate sterilization room
    • Instruments sterilized for every operation
    • Standards for antibiotic use before and after surgery
  4. 04
    Recovery care

    The recovery room is a private room equipped with an oxygen supply and monitoring equipment. The Director checks your post-operative progress herself, and dedicated staff with extensive plastic surgery experience support your recovery. After breast surgery, an ultrasound check looks at the implant and screens for seroma.

    • Private recovery room · oxygen supply · monitoring equipment
    • Post-operative ultrasound check
    • Follow-up by the Director · aftercare schedule
Why one a day

One general-anesthesia
surgery per day, no more

The operating room, the recovery room, and the time of the anesthesiologist and the medical team are given to one person. Because no next surgery is waiting, there is no reason to hurry during the operation or in the recovery room.

This principle is also why we can give time to Personal Consulting. Consultation, surgery and recovery all proceed at one person's pace.

Consultation

Before deciding what to do, we look at who you are

Consultations are conducted by the Director herself. Schedule one by phone or KakaoTalk, or leave an online consultation request.
