IT'S time for Turkey to move over, there's a new country taking over as the hotspot for surgery, and it's an even longer flight.

And with 457 plastic surgery clinics to choose from in the 15-mile area, you have more than enough options to pick from. Whether you're going for a nose job, chin implants, or a concoction of laser treatments, the surge in beauty treatments for a while left surgery tourists stuck in the airport, facing questions about why their passport photos didn't look like them.

UK tourism to the country has skyrocketed in recent years, going from 44,000 in 2022 to 147,000 last year.

"I had a panic attack because one person started doing a treatment I had declined without warning. "None of the people doing the treatments spoke English, so while I was crying there was no way I could communicate with them." 'The consultation with the doctor was 3-5 minutes. Felt like on an assembly line. They didn't allow me to take pictures of my scanned skin. Better safe your money," penned a third. Advertisement What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS One of the larger problems with getting surgery in South Korea is the language barrier, as noted by some reviewers. The lack of communication during treatment is not okay. Lamiche Patient Many claim professionals couldn't explain what procedures they were having done or the pain they would experience. Another wrote: 'After you pay for the service, the interpreter leaves you in the hands of the nurses and doctors. "This is where things need to be improved. The lack of communication during treatment is not okay. Advertisement "I was put in the worst pain I've ever felt and at no point during the first part of my treatment did the nurse stop to check if I was okay.' The lack of transparency means it can be hard to decipher what clients are genuinely experiencing and what is biased reviews.

The rise of beauty tourism in the country has put such a strain on the industry that it has led to 'ghost doctors' operating on unknowing patients. 10 University student Kwon Dae-hee Kwon and his mother Lee Na Geum before his untimely death Credit: HANDOUT 10 Kwon Dae-hee's mother Lee Na-geum has fought for CCTv in operating rooms after her son's death Credit: Reuters Advertisement While many will have consultations with certified doctors, they disappear once the patient has gone under, swapping them for less qualified surgeons to complete the operation. It is, of course, illegal, but it was a common occurrence in South Korea for years until one mum refused to back down after her son died during a relatively simple plastic surgery. On 8 September 2016, Kwon Dae-hee, a university student, went to a plastic surgery clinic called Center A in Seoul to get his jaw 'fixed'. Kwon had been bullied since his school years because of his prominent chin, so he decided to spend £4,000 to get it slimmed down. Advertisement The 24-year-old trusted the clinic, which boasted it was '14 Years In Business Without A Single Medical Accident." The surgery is relatively easy and quick to perform, taking around one to two hours, but Dae-hee was on the operating table for hours before slipping into a 49-day coma and ultimately dying from his injuries. I immediately felt that I needed that evidence. Lee Na-geum Kwon's Mother The plastic surgeon called for an ambulance at 11:30pm that night, reports But when Kwon arrived, doctors were frantically trying to save his life as his heart had stopped for two minutes and he had lost two-thirds of the blood in his body. Advertisement The day after the surgery, the plastic surgeon went to the hospital, claiming the procedure went on as normal and offered CCTV footage of the operating room to prove it It is not a requirement nationwide, but some clinics do so to increase trust. 'I immediately felt that I needed that evidence,' said Kwon's mother, Lee Na-geum. He was declared brain dead the next day, and while Kwon lay in a coma, his mother watched the footage over 500 times, trying to piece together what went wrong. 'Blood Mopped 13 Times' In the footage, the surgery starts at 12:56 p.m. when the plastic surgeon begins to cut Kwon's jawbone. Advertisement There were also three nursing assistants in the room. 10 Kwon Dae-hee was left bleeding out with nursing assistants mopping his blood 13 times Credit: YouTube 10 His mum sat and watched the footage over 500 times to get justice for her son Credit: Reuters After an hour, the first plastic surgeon left, and another doctor entered the operating room. Advertisement The two surgeons entered and left the room, but for almost 30 minutes, there was no doctor in the operating room at all, although nursing assistants were present. The clinic advertised that the head doctor would operate from start to finish, but the CCTV showed that was not the case. While he did cut Kwon's jaw bones, the rest of the surgery was completed by a doctor with no plastic surgery license and who had just graduated from medical school. The surgery finally finished at 4:17 p.m., more than three hours after it started, according to the footage. Advertisement According to Kim Seon-woong, the former law director of the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons, who has run a plastic surgery clinic for 25 years, jaw surgery like the one Kwon had should take an hour and a half or less for an experienced doctor, reports When the surgery was over, both of the doctors went home, leaving nurses in charge of Kwon. Kwon's mother looked on as blood poured out of his body onto the floor while nurses did nothing to stop it. Instead, they corrected their makeup or looked at their cellphones. In total, they mopped the bloody floor 13 times. Advertisement When medical professionals evaluated the footage, they found he had likely lost three times as much blood as what the doctors had said when they called the emergency services. 'I don't think this ghost doctor checked how much blood my son shed,' she added. 'I was so angry at that fact. Had just one of the three doctors checked how much he bled,' she said, 'but no one did.' Despite Kwon's death, the clinic stayed open and continued to advertise that it had gone 14 years without a patient experiencing any accident. The clinic closed in 2020. It is unclear why. His mother and father moved to Seoul to protest outside parliament daily for CCTV to be in every operating room since Kwon died. Advertisement In 2021, the law was passed, and the plastic surgeon was sentenced to involuntary manslaughter and imprisoned for three years. However, not everyone is pleased with CCTV in surgery rooms. The They claim the move will violate patient privacy and discourage doctors from taking risks to save lives. Advertisement While those in the industry are not a fan, the wider public is. Jeong Seoung-eun, who had attended Kwon's court case to support his family, said: 'I want to show my support so my country can become a better one by correcting faults in the (medical) system.'
