Clinic Introduction
Beyond beauty, we strive to realize a value that goes beyond. As a hospital that upholds the honest ideology of being truthful, we are pleased to introduce ourselves as Se Min Plastic Surgery. Founded by the world-renowned expert in plastic surgery, Dr. Baek Se Min, and currently led by Dr. Hong Jong Uk, who is a student of Dr. Baek, we take pride in being a hospital that has not had a single case of anesthesia-related accidents or deaths since its establishment. This is a testament to our continuous investment in patient safety, even as we perform complex surgeries.
We take pride in the fact that we have a high level of completion and reliability in all plastic surgeries, thanks to the pride of being a student of Dr. Baek. Our low turnover rate among staff members also ensures that we prevent accidents caused by inexperienced personnel. Furthermore, we have renovated our facilities to provide a unique and safe environment for our patients, and we have acquired surgical equipment that has been proven to be effective and safe for plastic surgery.
At Se Min Plastic Surgery, we aim to be a hospital that is honest, safe, and sincere, just as Dr. Baek envisioned when he founded the hospital. We strive to be a model that prioritizes patients' needs over profit, rather than pursuing profit at the expense of our patients.
