Former AOA member Kwon Mina suffers medical malpractice?! Shrinkage, burns, lawsuit

Former AOA member Kwon Mina revealed that she suffered second-degree burns after undergoing a shrink lifting procedure.

We will organize the procedure, hospital explanations, medical law violation issues, and possible legal responses.

 

 

1. What Happened in the Kwon Min-ah Medical Accident?

 

Kwon Mina recently revealed on her personal SNS that she suffered serious burns after undergoing dermatological treatment.

The released photos show red, peeling skin centered on both cheeks.

The hospital diagnosis was that he had suffered second-degree burns.

 

On the 24th of last month, Kwon Min-ah received 600 shots of shrink lifting treatment while sleeping at a dermatology clinic.

He explained that when he opened his eyes after the procedure, he was in severe pain and had damaged skin.

 

 

2. What is shrink treatment?

 

Shrink is a lifting treatment that improves elasticity by irradiating high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) deep into the skin.

Although it is a relatively common procedure, the high energy intensity may carry a risk of burns and nerve damage.

 

Especially for high-power treatments of 600 shots or more, skin irritation is strong, so skill and safety management are important.

 

 

3. Key Issues ① Sleep Procedures and Consent Forms

Kwon Min-ah said, “I have been using the hospital regularly,

He claimed, “In this procedure, no side effects were explained or consent forms were written.”

If true, this could be a violation of the duty to explain under medical law.

 

Also, if the procedure is performed while the patient is asleep, the patient may experience pain or other abnormal reactions.

Safety concerns are raised because it is difficult to deliver immediately.

 

 

4. Key Issue ② Hospital Position and Debate on Responsibility

The hospital said there were no particular problems during the procedure and mentioned the possibility of a defective device tip.

However, the person in question stated that he was only recommended treatment at the same hospital, even though it was not a burn specialty hospital.

This part is also controversial.

 

Currently, the positions of both sides are at odds, and there is a high possibility that this will go beyond a simple side effect and become a matter of responsibility for medical accidents.

 

 

5. Complete disruption of schedule and mental damage

 

Due to this accident, Kwon Mina has canceled all of her scheduled broadcasts and personal schedules.

He said that due to the nature of the burns on his face, he was unable to go outside and was even experiencing panic symptoms.

 

Interest in the scope of compensation is growing, as not only financial losses but also psychological damage can be significant.

 

 

6. Is legal action possible?

 

Kwon Min-ah said she is considering civil and criminal lawsuits as negotiations with the hospital have not gone smoothly.

In similar cases in the past, when medical malpractice was acknowledged, a judgment was issued awarding compensation in the tens of millions of won.

 

Future issues are likely to include whether pre-procedure explanation and consent procedures are followed, the appropriateness of sleep procedures, and device management.

 

 

 

FAQ

Q1. Can shrink treatment cause second-degree burns?
A. It is possible. High-power ultrasound treatment transmits heat to the deep layers of the skin.

Depending on the intensity, time, and tip condition, burns may occur.

 

Q2. Can I receive a lifting treatment while sleeping?
A. It is not legally prohibited, but it is not possible to immediately convey pain or adverse reactions.

Safety controversies persist.

 

Q3. Is there a problem if I perform the procedure without consent?
A. Explanation of side effects and written consent are legal obligations of medical professionals.

Omitting this may result in violation of the Medical Act.

 

Q4. How should I respond in the event of a medical accident?
A. After securing evidence such as photos and medical certificates, receive a re-diagnosis at another hospital.

It is common to respond through the Korea Consumer Agency (1372) or legal advice.
