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!

This was one of my bigger concerns. Even though I know a lot of people online say they had no issues, I worry that words can be crossed and not understood resulting in less than desirable results.

Yup! Everything I read says you will find their best doctors in this city. Not to say you can't find a great one outside of it, I just know this is the main hub for work in Korea. Even the locals will recommend it too.

Yes this is good to point out and I think it is a good idea for anyone looking for a doctor to check the medical board in Korea too. Don't just go based on nothing but online reviews, especially not with AI being such a massive thing these days.

I have contacted this clinic. It is one of 4 or 5 I have contacted. This one took awhile to hear back from. I am not sure why. But they seem to be legit to me. I was asking around and found someone that I work with whose family member had gone to this clinic for some skin issue and her results were excellent.

Okay I was not entirely sure. I guess I would need a brachioplasty if that is the case as I do have loose skin that will need to be tucked/removed. Thanks for replying. I am going to look into this a bit more and research it.

What is the difference between getting lipo or the brachioplasty? I have been told I have both loose skin and excess fat so I am not sure how to approach 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?
