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.

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.

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.

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.
