Threading sounds rather painful. I know surgery tends to be but you expect it. For a light procedure, getting threading just sound unappealing to me

WillBe seems to be pretty popular on Reddit. While I have never been here, I see a lot of people on the platform talking about it. Something that is good to know is that they speak fluent English there. This is something I know a lot of people worry about when looking into Korean clinics as not all of them are fluent. Also, in case you are wondering their main focuses are double eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting, and under-eye revision. So what you are looking for they have a lot of expertise in!

I have heard of it but never knew it had a name for it. This is something I am going to keep in mind, thanks for the information!

I am helping a friend narrow down some options for getting her breasts done. She wants a bit of restricting for her nipples as well as small implants. She lost a lot of confidence in her breasts since having her twins. Saying that they feel/look saggy, dis-formed, and her nipples never went back down to size even though her breasts have shrank. So I was looking into a number of clinics in Korea that offers breast work and from my understanding, both Pride Plastic Surgery and View Plastic Surgery offer breast implants as well as restructuring. I want to find some key differences for her to compare. Costs, doctor experience, things like that. Any help with be appreciated!

This is for sure a smaller clinic though, that is something to keep in mind. Also, zero1 ps tends to focus on nose and eye work. They do offer grafting but it may not be a specialty, it would have to be something that needs to be looked into more. Things get lost in translation online.

I am terrible and figuring out if reviews are legit or not. I have been duped a number of times with buying items online. So when it comes to something more serious, like plastic surgery, I don't want to be falling for fake reviews. What are some red flags I should look for when reading through them?

A lot of people in Korea get work done and walk around with bandages and swollen faces. People tend not to care because they are used to seeing people like this. But if you are concerned with how you feel more than how you look, you can go a bit earlier to have to time to do things.

I guess that is fair. Cities do tend to be busy everywhere. But I am guessing this comes down to time management. If you are used to being in a city, it would not matter as much.

I usually just check on Trip Advisor and other similar sites for stuff like this as you get mostly real reviews from real people. According to them, GLAD Gangnam COEX Center is the best but I would imagine it is a more expensive one by the looks of it!

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?

I read it mostly doesn't. This was something I was curious about. Everything seems to be fairly close so just leaving on time would or should be enough but I guess if you want to be sure or have less travel time between surgery and your hotel, it can't hurt to find something close by.

That is a good point. I will make sure I have digital copies of everything so I can just e-mail them to the clinic. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for pointing that out!

I have no experience traveling with kids but a friend of mine does. She has never traveled whilst getting any work done with her kids so that could be a bit different. I will ask her about tips and such when I talk to her and report back with anything useful for your friend

I ended up looking into this a lot more and a lot of people just get basic information printed from their local doctor's office and bring it with them as well as fill out forms through the clinics. It seems it is standard for clinics to request medical history and if they don't ask for any information at all, it is a huge red flag! So be warned. I wanted to make sure I updated this thread for anyone else looking for information on this.

The more I look into this, the more I think you are correct. Everyone and everything I read says to take extra time in case it is needed. Some people have mentioned not needing to stay as long and just changing their return flights at no cost. So that is an option. Sorry for the late response. I have been busy but I have still been looking into everything. This forum has been a huge help!

I know in the states, this can easily be looked up and gathered by clinics but seeing as I would be going to Korea, I am a bit concerned about this. I am not sure if I need medical history or not. Like medical conditions, medications, etc. in order for them to preform surgery on me. Anyone know?

Yeah I am starting to understand why people take longer trips even if the surgery they get is simple and has a fast recovery! I will for sure be booking a longer stay

So 10 days is probably too little. I guess I should plan for a 2 week stay, maybe even 3 weeks? I will have to make sure I can budget in a stay for that long. I do wonder if some clinics offer hotel stays as well? Does anyone know?

I am going to be going to get a face lift at a plastic surgery clinic in Korea. I have already been in touch with 3 clinics, just trying to decide which to go with. As I am planning, I have to figure out my hotel stay and how long before and after my surgery I should be in Korea. I don't intend on doing much outside of my surgery. Maybe trying some food and doing some light shopping. I know I am going to need to rest. What do you think I should plan for for a face lift?
