hello? Chaebi Everyone, Dr. Ai lipoplastic surgery. Han Gru (Chief Surgeon)It is.
When discussing with patients visiting the hospital, “Director, I heard that the effectiveness of this procedure has been proven in SCI-level papers?” or “I heard he’s a famous director who has written many papers. Don’t you think he can be trusted?”I often get asked this question.
As a surgeon who trained as a surgeon and learned strict evidence-based medicine, and who currently holds a scalpel and cannula every day in the field of body plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery, what I want to say is clear. “The title of a medical paper itself does not guarantee complete truth or surgical results.”is true.
1. Commercialization of medical papers: advertising in the name of public trust
While academic papers of the past were purely academic curiosity and records of treatment improvement, some modern medical papers are A tool to increase the commercial credibility of a specific medical device, drug, or hospital itselfIt is often adopted as. Recently, academia has been mass producing fake data. ‘Paper mill’The overflow of papers is emerging as a serious problem [1], and in one year alone, as many as 10,000 academic papers are retracted due to manipulation and poor review. NatureIt was also reported in [2].
This is an official report that exposes the mass production of fabricated experimental data and papers to secure commercial credibility and inflate performance.
It shows a structural crisis in academia, with more than 10,000 papers withdrawn in one year due to poor peer review and data distortion.
2. Orthodox medical and surgical papers vs. plastic and cosmetic surgery equipment papers, why is there a difference?
| Compare items | Authentic internal medicine and essential surgery theses | Thesis on the latest instruments in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine |
|---|---|---|
| Main research subject and environment | Focused on salaried doctors and professors affiliated with university hospitals and large hospitals (low direct linkage to individual business sales) | Private business (practitioner)-focused operation (Thesis = Hospital branding and marketing tools(directly connected to) |
| Sponsorship and Interests | High proportion of multi-center clinical trials and public research funding, strict conflict of interest (COI) control | Device manufacturer discounts and sponsorships Key Doctor (Key Doctor = sponsorship model) Structures are frequent |
| Study design and sample size (N) | Large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort alignment-driven | Small sample (N) or Simple case report The majority of levels [5] |
[Surgeon Dr. Han Gru (Chief Surgeon)’s medical principles: ‘Principle of practical benefit’ following the natural order of our body]“In my opinion, a good procedure or surgery is one that does not go against the basic principles of the human body (physiological, anthropophysical, pathological, and anatomical basic mechanisms), and the advantages that the person receiving the surgery gains far outweigh the disadvantages.”
