    It depends on how much time you're going to have. With only 10 days, it's better to reach out and probably decide on a clinic and book surgery. The first thing is to find out what the treatment cycle is like for what you want to have. Example: Rhinoplasty treatment cycle is about 8 days. Prep and consult day: 1 Day 2 – Surgery Day 3 – Follow-up Day 4 – Recovery / rest Day 5 – Follow-up Day 6 – Recovery / rest Day 7 – Recovery / rest Day 8 – Stitch removal and post consult Now factor in travel days (arrival / departure), that's about 2 days. That's a 10-day trip if you already have the surgery day locked in. If you plan to consult with a few places first and then decide, you have to factor in consult days. Maybe you need 2 to 3 days to consult. Then factor in the delta or difference between your decision and the next available surgery date. Let's assume this can range between 3 to 7 days. Now factor in travel days (arrival / departure), that's about 2 days. So if you want to consult first and then decide, on the low end you need about 14 days, and on the high end about 19 days.

    I know sometimes booking can be a few weeks and that is my concern. I don't want to go to Korea and not be able to book my surgery on the same trip. I also know some of these places are rather busy, especially this time of the year it seems. I would like to book and plan everything for late April or early May. Should I contact clinics while at home and will this guarantee that I can book my surgery for the same trip? I will only be able to be in Korea for 10 days.

    Lipo on arms is not too bad. You will have a lot of bruising and be sore but it is less painful and a faster recovery compared to lipo in the legs or buttocks. As for cost, you are looking at around $1,800–$2,500 USD - However, I have seen it go as cheap as $1,200 and these prices are for both arms.

    I read this on another site. A lot of people say this. You do not want to be fresh from a surgery on a long flight!! I am not sure how long I will need but I am intending on staying at least 3 or 4 days after just to be sure.

    This. I have looked into this clinic for other things and they do amazing work. I would absolutely start here. See if you like the doctor, talk to some people, ask for more information, etc.
  11. pinkdaisyz
    Usually you go home the same day although some people might be asked to stay overnight. I don't think you have to worry about an extended stay. Just make sure you go early enough to allow for meeting with doctors and then time to rest before hopping back on a plane so you aren't miserable.
  12. pinkdaisyz
    Yeah this sounds right. I only know because a friend of mine had it done. She didn't go to Korea however. She is planning another surgery and this time she will be going to Korea so I am hoping to schedule my surgery at the same time so we can travel together.
  13. pinkdaisyz
    I know this is an old thread but I am wondering which one you ended up going with. I was actually looking into the same three options but not for a full facelift, just getting my eyes fixed. I have some pretty bad bags!

    Geurim Plastic Surgery in Gangnam tends to be at the top of the list for a lot of people. I have not had this work done but I do know someone who has gone to this clinic and had great results. You can look up reviews and before/after pictures. It is much cheaper in Korea as well.
  15. calmwaters
    It depends on what you are after. Lipo or Brachioplasty. Lipo is easier and invasive. Recovery time is faster too. Brachioplasty surgeries take more time, are more costly, and the recovery time can be awhile. You can also look into CoolSculpting or Thermage if you want a non-surgical option.
  16. calmwaters
    This was the first clinic I went to. The only reason I went to a different clinic for a separate surgery was because what I wanted was not offered here. Dr. Park is very good and very inviting, especially for clients who are non-Korean. I took a short trip to meet up with some doctors before planning to go back for surgery and of the ones I met with, I knew he was the right choice for me right away.
  17. calmwaters
    I have gone twice now for two different surgeries and I am planning a third. What I can tell you from experience is pay close attention to the doctor. Make sure they spend enough time with you. If they seem rushed or try to pressure you, decline and go to someone else. You want to make sure you work with a surgeon that is patient and will allow you time for your concerns.

    I am going to be going to get a face lift at a plastic surgery clinic in Korea. I have already been in touch with 3 clinics, just trying to decide which to go with. As I am planning, I have to figure out my hotel stay and how long before and after my surgery I should be in Korea. I don't intend on doing much outside of my surgery. Maybe trying some food and doing some light shopping. I know I am going to need to rest. What do you think I should plan for for a face lift?
  19. berrygirl21
    It really depends on the extent of the surgery. When it comes to returning to work and light activities, it is only a week or two. That being said, a full recovery does take time. For smaller, less-invasive surgeries the average is 6 weeks to 2 months. For moderate work - 3 to 6 months. For more extensive work - 6 to 12 months. The doctor you work with will be able to give you the most realistic recovery timeline.

    I am glad I asked on here because I had no idea this was even a thing! I did look into it and you are right. They did change the laws around this. What is the best approach to do this?

    I would imagine this falls under liposuction and body contouring. As I have gotten older, I have had my weight go up and down. I lost a fair amount of weight but now I have loose fat and skin that hangs from my arms. I would like to get it fixed. Has anyone had this done? Can someone tell me the costs and downtime for such a surgery done through a Korean clinic?
  22. pjames
    Hey everyone. I am trying to find the best clinics for scar revision. I have some scaring on my face I would like to get fixed. I looking into the costs locally and I wouldn't be able to get as much work done so I started looking outside my home country. Many people recommend Korea for cost and quality. What are my options? Which are the best clinics for something like this?

    I want to get an idea of what I am in for. I have my surgery booked for the end of April. I plan on staying in Korea for 2 weeks. I am going to do a follow up with a local clinic to make sure everything is healing properly as well. I don't know if this is standard but it was recommended by the doctor I have been working with in Korea. I was told the actual full recovery can be anywhere from 2 to 12 months but the bulk of the healing process happens in the first few weeks. It depends on how much work is being done. Does this sound right to you?
  25. LillyD86
    I have not but I have heard amazing things. They have been in business for 25 years and there is a lot of information out there about them and the doctor. You can see pictures from patients and those include many caucasian women.
  26. LillyD86
    I always check for reviews with anything, especially things like this. Check on Google. Do a background check into the clinic. Make sure the doctor(s) on staff are board certified. If they seem hesitant to answer questions, avoid them!

    I have gone to VIP International Plastic Surgery Center two years ago for nose correction and I had a fantastic experience. They provided both online and in person consultation. I planned ahead and made sure to meet the doctor before anything took place. For places that offer international care, they will or at least should have virtual consultations.

    I am narrowing down my options and of the clinics I have looked at and the doctors I have viewed information on, Young Kyu Pak sounds like a very experienced doctor. It seems to be a clinic that is used to working on non-Korean women as well which was a concern I had. Has anyone been to this location in recent years to have work done?
