AB Plastic Surgery’s Distinctive Services for International Patients

1. Global Coordination for International Patients

AB Plastic Surgery operates a dedicated global medical coordinator system for international patients.

Close management throughout the entire process from surgical consultation to recovery and return home
Multilingual consultation support in English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Russian, Mongolian, Myanmar, etc.
Customized guidance considering cultural and communication differences

Beyond medical information, we provide clear and easy-to-understand guidance on all aspects of hospital use, ensuring that international patients receive the same level of medical experience as domestic patients

2. From Pre-operative Online Consultation to Post-Return Follow-up Care

To minimize travel-related burdens for international patients, we actively utilize a non-face-to-face consultation system.

Establishment of surgical plans through online consultations prior to departure
Guidance on individualized surgical schedules and recommended length of stay based on each patient’s condition
Post-return progress checks and follow-up consultations after the patient returns home

Through this process, international patients are able to reduce unnecessary length of stay while still receiving stable surgical outcomes and continuous postoperative care.

3. Medical Tourism Infrastructure Integrating Medical Care, Accommodation, and Travel

AB Plastic Surgery goes beyond providing medical services alone by building a comprehensive medical tourism environment that considers the entire stay of international patients in Korea.

Provision of information on nearby accommodations
Schedule management tailored to each stage of recovery
Guidance on optimal routes suitable for medical visits when necessary

This infrastructure supports the attraction of high-value medical tourists and serves as a foundation for the qualitative growth of Korea’s medical tourism industry

AB Safety Assurance System

1. Twice the Industry-Average Presence of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine Specialists

Rather than on-call coverage, board-certified anesthesiology and pain medicine specialists are stationed in-house. One dedicated specialist is assigned per patient and per surgeon, monitoring the entire process from preoperative preparation through recovery.

2. Cross-Matching-Capable Facility

In emergency situations, in-house clinical pathologists enable immediate blood testing and transfusion.

*Cross-matching refers to a pre-transfusion test that verifies compatibility between the patient’s blood and the donor blood.

3. Real-Time Intraoperative Monitoring

On-site anesthesiology and pain medicine specialists continuously monitor the patient’s condition in real time during surgery.

4. Emergency Preparedness with Rare Medications

The hospital maintains dantrolene, the only recognized treatment for malignant hyperthermia, a condition that requires complex and specialized management.

5. Operating Room CCTV System

CCTV operation in operating rooms enhances procedural transparency and enables rapid response in emergency situations.

Medical Capabilities Aligned with Global Standards

AB Plastic Surgery places the fundamental principles of medical care as its highest priority, applying the same standards equally to international patients.

Professional Expertise

Specialists in each field develop personalized treatment and surgical plans based on extensive clinical experience and the latest medical trends.
