I am booked for my surgery for the end of June. I have my hotel and everything. I will be heading to South Korea on the 23rd and my surgery day is the 25th. I gave myself a few days to settle in. I am a bit concerned though that I will be spending most of the time there in a hotel because of swelling. I have heard people say some are worse than others but I also see so many people exploring the city they are in after surgery. Won't I look like a mess? LOL

I don't know but I do know that if/when I book something for fixing my scars, I will be staying as close as possible to where the clinic is so if I have to walk, I have that option. I don't want to be stuck in traffic!!

All sorts. Simple face lifts is an example. There is nothing really to check outside of if the healing process is going well. The skin takes care of itself. They most just check the healing process, bruising, and if there are any signs if infection.

Yes, I have heard of clinics doing that. It is much easier to manage patient needs when you have separate days for what is handled. I wouldn't be shocked if most clinics do this but if they have multiple doctors, people wouldn't notice. As they would always have some doctors doing surgery and others doing appointments.

A friend had lipo for love handles done and she said it was the most expensive lipo at the clinic she went to. This was in Canada. I am not sure what makes that one of the more expensive ones there but not in Korea. Maybe the tools and methods they use?

They allow for this? I mean showing other people's before and afters. I would imagine if they do, the patients had to sign off on it. I figured everything they had just got posted online anyways.

I must have had the wrong information. Thanks for pointing that out. I did look it up again and you are right, they are cheaper on average in Korea. I guess that makes sense considering everything else is plastic surgery wise.

Thanks everyone. I was just curious. I am not sure what my friend's sister will do but I will mention the Texas thing. Maybe she already knows about it, who knows. I mean there are clinics that offer help but it is so expensive, it is insane!

Holy cow! That sounds absolutely terrifying! I am sorry that happened to her but thank you for sharing. I know people don't like hearing about this stuff but it is better to be throughout with all doctors and clinics than risk anything like this!

Both my consultations were about an hour but when I spoke to the doctor directly, it was about 10 to 15 minutes. The rest of the time I was speaking with other people that handle all the information.

It sucks cause I don't really see people talking about this online a lot either. I am wondering if this is normal or if I was getting brushed off and need to find a better clinic or something.

Yes, this is something I am struggling with. So many of them are FAKE! I am sure a lot of them are real but they only show the best of the best and I have heard of them removing bad reviews.

Oh right, I didn't think of that. I guess the conversations they have must be scheduled or kept short. Maybe they only do surgeries on certain days and take calls/consultations on other days.

@mariemarieis right about the botox injections. Tons of people, especially women have seen success with it. The red light therapy works too but from what I understand, the results aren't as good but still decent. I think most people notice 30% regrowth.

I was going to say similar. If there is a market for it, they will have clinics for it. Most people do not seek to reverse these changes because they are happy or they end up getting more surgeries as they go through their journeys.

Yes I have heard of this too! Someone I watch on YouTube got her teeth done in Mexico and they look amazing and she paid something like 25% of the cost she would have had she gotten them done in America.

This is what I have heard, yes! Some clinics will do pictures and adjust them to show you want it would look like from various angles. It makes it easier to get an idea of what you'd see when looking in the mirror.
