That upper11 skin clinic is said to do this. Correcting old acne scars specifically. The issue I had with this clinic was finding up to date information. A lot of things get lost in translation. While it may be a great clinic, I can't say I would recommend them because of this but you can look into it more. Maybe find someone who knows Korean that can help translate some of the stuff?

So my sister recently went. Like real recent, she just got back last week. I have not seen her in person yet as we live in different areas but I was chatting with her on the phone about her trip. She did plan ahead and gave herself an entire week to have a vacation. Then the surgery week. Then a week following that. So her total trip was 22 days I think.

I know. It does seem to be one of the safer countries for it. I guess they are a bit more strict and have a lot more to lose considering how many clients they get from around the world. The government wants to ensure they keep seeing this for the economy I would imagine.

I am going to look into this more. I had completely forgotten about this but now I want to find out actually where to report such things so people can do the same.

If you find out that this isn't the case, should you report them? If this is a law requirement, I would imagine they would want to know about this. I never knew this was a thing.

Not everyone gets relief from this stuff and do need other options. I have a friend that nothing worked for her and she did laser work and it made it much better. Her skin even looks younger too!

Something I was told awhile back was to go to a local clinic in the country I am in first. Most of the time, you don't pay for a consultation but if you do, it tends to be cheap. You will get a better understanding of what work you want or need done and be better prepared for when you talk to a Korean doctor, especially if this is your first surgery.

I don't know about surgeries but for hormone balancing stuff, you could just go to a regular doctor and they sort that. There is no profit or high requests for it. That is why. Most people that get these surgeries are happy.

I will, thanks again. I have been reading up more on it and it is easing my worried. I was a bit nervous about the surgery in general and was considering putting it off but I think it will be okay. haha

Really you just have to wait. You can double check things like medical history, medications, etc. with the clinic and the laws to make sure everything is good there. Some people like to plan out every day of their trip so you could do that, find places to see and restaurants to eat at.

I stayed here! Not for when I was getting surgery or anything but when I was in Korea with some friends. We stayed at the hotel for 6 days. The rooms are quite small but everything is made up for when you realize you essentially have a mini apartment. We enjoyed our stay there and everyone was insanely friendly.

Is English the most common second language? It must be, right? I'd imagine this is down to the massive boom America had in the 50s and 60s, everyone wanted to do business with America so English became a standard for international businesses.

This is something I think is worth stressing. Some people recover really fast, some people take much longer. No two bodies handle surgery the same. I have seen some women take a very long time recovering for very simple operations.

Anywhere from $5,000 to just under $20,000 from my understanding. It really depends on the extend of the work needed done. As for recovery, you are looking at a minimum of a 2 week stay in Korea. I would plan for 3 or 4 weeks though if you need a more complex surgery. Recovery time outside of post-surgery stuff will be 4 to 6 weeks for the resting period (no strenuous activities or exercise) and then 6 months to a year on average for full recovery. Some take a bit over a year.

This is actually very handy for me as I am still looking into a lot of options myself. I kind of assumed some of it can be done online seeing as Korea gets a lot of foreigners that go there for work. Either way, thanks for this info!
