2025. 4. 22.
Rhinoplasty — where infection prevention directly affects results and recovery given the surgical site’s nature. What the professional disinfection against multidrug-resistant organisms (MRSA, CRE, VRE, VRSA, CPE) conducted at KOWON covered, and the ongoing management policy — organized.
Key points
- Given the surgical site’s nature, infection prevention directly affects surgery results and recovery course in rhinoplasty.
- KOWON Plastic Surgery additionally conducted disinfection per management criteria for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and multidrug-resistant organisms (MRSA, CRE, VRE, VRSA, CPE) in cooperation with a hospital-specialized disinfection company.
- Rather than ending as one-off management, regular professional disinfection and in-house hygiene checks continue — with hygiene-management records and certificates kept on-site.
Hello, this is KOWON Plastic Surgery. To provide patients a safer, more pleasant medical environment, additional professional disinfection was recently conducted. This article organizes why this disinfection was needed, what scope it covered, and how management continues going forward.
01
Why does infection control matter at a plastic surgery clinic?
At plastic surgery — especially rhinoplasty — infection prevention directly affects surgery results and recovery course given the surgical site’s nature. So rhinoplasty needs infection-prevention management more meticulous than general surgery.
KOWON Plastic Surgery has always strictly enforced hygiene management of the operating room and consultation spaces — and this time, in cooperation with a hospital-specialized disinfection company, additionally conducted enhanced disinfection optimized for medical institutions.
02
How did this disinfection proceed?
This disinfection was conducted not at a simple cleaning level but as disinfection specialized for medical facilities. Details are as follows.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Disinfection scope | Operating room, exam rooms, waiting spaces, and all common areas |
| Focused management | High-contact areas like door handles and exam instruments |
| Space sterilization | Removal of airborne floating bacteria |
| Agents used | Medical-institution-exclusive agents — safe for the body with high-efficiency disinfection |
| Effect confirmation | Bacterial contamination levels confirmed numerically via ATP measurement before and after |
During the process, meticulous procedures were applied per management criteria especially for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and multidrug-resistant organisms (MRSA, CRE, VRE, VRSA, CPE) — focusing on minimizing infection possibility.
03
Does disinfection end with this one time?
No. KOWON Plastic Surgery doesn’t end this disinfection as one-off management — it intends to maintain an always clean, safe care environment through regular professional disinfection and in-house hygiene checks. And so patients can confirm directly, hygiene-management records and certificates are kept on-site after disinfection completes.

Summary — for an environment where care can be received with confidence
Since rhinoplasty is surgery where infection prevention directly affects results and recovery, we consider environment management part of care. So each patient can receive care and surgery with confidence, we’ll keep managing the environment carefully going forward. If curious about the care environment or surgery preparation, inquiries can be made via consultation.
