I agree, since there are so many people travelling in and out of Korea, as well as every other countries out there, nowhere is really 'safe'. You just gotta watch out for yourself first and foremost just like you said. And since they can also get in through your eyes, make sure you don't touch your face too often (which is why people buying masks are missing the point of them since they keep fiddling it with their fingers).

 

I just want to say that although people wear masks here all the time (which is great), many still don't practice good hygiene. People who don't have masks on would almost never cough into their clothes or arms, and I hate to say this, but I've seen far too many children and adults not washing their hands after using the washroom. But hey, it's getting harder and harder to find hand sanitizers here so maybe actions are indeed taken!

 

I see, thank you so much for the information!

 

Hello, this might be an unusual question, but due to some limitations, I am not going to have time to stay in Seoul for the stitch removal...so is it common for people to get the stitch removed at just any local Korean hospital? I live in other parts of Korea and I am only going to stay in Seoul for a few days, so should this be a huge concern? I can always take a trip back to Seoul again for any check ups, but the PS clinics told me it's ok to get the stitch removed at any local clinics. How do y'all feel about this?

 

Looking for people who are also on the same boat. I'm thinking of going to IVE, ITEM and Shinseung for eyelid consultation and surgery. Can't speak much Korean, so if anyone wants to meet up and go together, please let me know!

 

I want to tag along just for a short trip to visit the clinics you've listed. My earliest would be the 28th, so if you are arriving around then, then I would love to go with you.
