Essential pre-surgery guidelines for Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery, including fasting, nail polish removal, and safety protocols for a successful procedure.
Pre-Surgery Precautions
※ Please ensure you follow these instructions strictly. (Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your surgery or difficulties with sleep anesthesia.)
1. Fast for 4 hours before surgery (including water, gum, and candy).
2. Remove all nail polish (including gel) from both hands and feet – This is essential for monitoring oxygen levels during sleep anesthesia.
3. Remove all accessories and leave valuables at home (risk of loss) and to prevent the risk of burns.
4. Bring sunglasses or a hat. You may need them when returning home after surgery.
5. Do not drive on the day of surgery as it poses a risk of accidents; please use public transportation. It is recommended to be accompanied by a guardian.
6. Please inform us in advance of any medications you are currently taking or any known drug allergies.
7. Please notify us in advance if you develop any systemic illnesses such as a cold or COVID-19.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours should I fast before surgery?
Yes, you should fast for 4 hours before surgery. This must be strictly observed for safe sleep anesthesia, and you should not consume any food, water, gum, candy, etc. Failure to comply may result in the inability to proceed with the surgery.
Do I need to remove my nail polish when I go for surgery?
Yes, all nail polish on your hands and feet, including gel nails, must be removed. This is an essential procedure because the condition of your fingernails and toenails needs to be checked to monitor the patient's oxygen saturation during sleep anesthesia.
Can I drive myself to the surgery on the day of the operation?
No, you should absolutely not drive yourself on the day of surgery due to the risk of accidents. For a safe return home, we strongly recommend using public transportation or coming with a guardian.
Can I have surgery if I have a cold?
If you have a systemic illness such as a cold or COVID-19, you must inform the hospital in advance. The possibility of proceeding with surgery may vary depending on the patient's health condition, so for safety, please consult with medical staff before visiting.

We operate under a system with a single board-certified plastic surgeon as the representative director, providing a transparent environment so that patients can undergo surgery with peace of mind, without worrying about ghost surgery.
