Safety is the foundation of design.

NB Safety Standards

In Korea, specialist qualification follows the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Regulation on the Training and Qualification of Medical Specialists. A plastic surgery specialist must complete the prescribed internship and residency training and pass the specialist qualifying examination. The examination may be administered by a medical corporation designated by the Minister of Health and Welfare, and the specialist certificate is issued by the Minister. At NB, liposuction and body-contouring surgery are planned from an ultrasound assessment before surgery, not from an estimate. Ultrasound is used to check the thickness and boundary of the fat layer and the position, boundary and depth of muscle; blood vessels are checked with Doppler when needed, and the findings inform the surgical plan. For surgery, the anesthesia method is decided from the scope of the operation together with the patient's condition, and an anesthesiology specialist collaborates to manage anesthesia safely. Smaller office procedures may use topical or local anesthesia only. Post-operative follow-up is conducted by the same surgeon who performed the procedure.
