Why does the Wall Street Journal visit ID Hospital in Korea?



The Wall Street Journal Live broadcasted a file titled as ‘A Perfect Plastic Surgery Through 3D Technique’ on the 23rd of October at 6pm Korea time. The program introduced the global leading Korean plastic surgery technique.

The producer shot a film of the whole process of plastic surgery of Min Kyeong Kim who had suffered from severe malocclusion and facial asymmetry and finally decided to have orthognathic surgery. The Wall Street Journal specifically focused on the safe plastic surgery performed by ID Hospital by using the 3D printer.

The problem starts with an introduction of Korean plastic surgery by Deborah Kan, an anchor, followed by Min Kyeong Kim’s interview. Also, safety which can be obtained by the use of 3D printer was mentioned by Min Woo Yoo who is in charge of managing 3D printer.

Dr. Park, the chief surgeon at ID Hospital, says that “After the Wall Street Journal interviewed ID hospital, ‘France 24’ from France and other countries, such as Mongolia, Thailand, etc. wanted to interview ID Hospital. Almost all foreign mass media are focusing on 3D printer as well as qualified facilities like that of university hospitals and exclusive services for foreign patients.”

The very first plastic surgery hospital in the country, which is specialized for facial bone contouring surgery adopted 3D printer in performing facial bone plastic surgery, such as double jaw surgery or facial bone contouring surgeries, in order to lower the risk of complications and increase the safety of plastic surgeries. A model manufactured by 3D printer makes it possible to check the area of bone which will be cut and the thickness of bone after being cut ahead of the actual surgery.

Also, during the real corrective jaw surgery, the severed bone will be moved and repositioned. With the model, the direction and angle of the movement can be simulated, minimizing complications of operation and shortening the operation time.
