In recent years, South Korea's plastic surgery industry has been booming, attracting many beauty lovers in their own countries and neighboring countries to go to plastic surgery, but some plastic surgery has also had many problems, of which "ghost surgery" is also constantly appearing.
"Ghost surgery" is the preoperative promise of so-and-so dean to perform the operation, but the actual operation is performed by another person. It sounds terrible, the truth is even more terrible. In fact, this kind of "ghost surgery" is very common in large plastic surgery hospitals, and it is very organized.

What is now seen on the screen is a surveillance video of a plastic surgery hospital performing "ghost surgery". The doctor who promised to do the operation before the operation waited for the patient to undergo anesthesia before entering the operating room, and did not wear a surgical gown, and the actual operation was performed by young doctors who had never seen the patient, and the level of surgery was very unskilled, which was the terrible point of "ghost surgery".
Doctor at a plastic surgery hospital in South Korea: Okay?
A doctor at a plastic surgery hospital in South Korea: Ah, why not? It's over, maybe I'm too poor.
President of a plastic surgery hospital in South Korea: Okay? How do you make fat so bloody?
Doctor of a plastic surgery hospital in South Korea: No way, hahaha.
After the operation, the patient's legs and other parts of the leg appeared serious sequelae. As a result, both academics and marriages were affected.
Choi: Now people are starting to listen to what happened to me, and the term "ghost surgery" has begun to appear in the media.
Novice doctors who want to accumulate surgical experience and large plastic surgery hospitals that want to use them to do more surgery and make more money, these two are a hit, making "ghost surgery" difficult to eliminate.
Cha Sangmian, a professional doctor of plastic surgery in South Korea: It is to practice, novice doctors can take this opportunity to operate, and small doctors without visibility open a small clinic outside, there are certainly no patient patrons, and they cannot accumulate so much surgical experience.
A plastic surgeon confessed that it was the peak plastic surgery season recently, and he himself was doing "ghost surgery".
Reporter: Did you see a patient for the first time in the operating room?
Doctor of a plastic surgery hospital in South Korea: Yes, the first time I saw it, I saw the medical records in the operating room. Because it's been the peak season lately, there are about two or three "ghost surgeries" a day, up to four times, but much less than before.
It is reported that nearly half of the medical accidents that occur in plastic surgery are related to "ghost surgery".
Kim Sun-woong, a professional plastic surgeon in South Korea: Since the beginning of 2000, 200-300 of the more than 500 dead have been due to "ghost surgery". But why is it so difficult to stop it? The law does not explicitly criminalize "ghost surgery.".
South Korea's "ghost surgery" victim Yin Mou: No one is punished. The fact that there are victims but no perpetrators makes me feel unbearable and very frightening.
