Packages is another thing. They almost seem like they are selling some sort of event. I have seen a lot of people talk about them online but have yet to come across one. I will keep an eye out though!

Oh okay, I didn't think to check on that. I guess it makes sense a collective of people on an open board will find stuff and share it. Is there a place on here for known scams by chance?

You can look up reviews on sites and clinics on Reddit. I tend to do this. But you have to be aware that they can bot things on there too. It is almost always caught though these days.

There was one that I followed for awhile, it was called PlasticzK something. K being or Korea. But I can't seem to find it anymore. I am wondering if they either changed their name or got banned. I have heard of plastic surgery accounts getting banned by mistake.

Some do, sure. I think running a smaller clinic is just more cost effective and some doctors just like working on their own and running their own space. We have a lot of local doctors like that where I live. Both in and out of the plastic surgery sector.

This is something I only recently discovered and it seems like a great option for me. I see a lot of people refer to it as a "lunchtime lift" because it is so easy and simple of a procedure. Has anyone had one here? Specifically in Korea? I was looking at the gowoonline clinic when I came across it. It sounds like something I wouldn't mind getting while I am in Korea for other work. Assuming it isn't terribly expensive!

Outside of a specific period post-operation stay, most people don't need to worry about this. If you need a follow up that goes beyond your stay, they will have you arrange it with a clinic in your local area so you don't need to fly back. The people that tend to go back and forth are already doing so for different reasons or just have the money and love to be in Korea.

I would imagine some do and some people allow for their work to be shown. They usually blur the faces out a bit so you only focus on the work that was done. It is the same for dentist work, they give consent and then the clinic will who their results to help other people see what is possible.

You have plenty of time to plan your trip. I wouldn't worry right now. You can start looking into things next month. So long as your flights are booked and you have your hotel booked, everything else is secondary.

I like to look through them for everything, not just when I am looking to go to a clinic for some work. I check reviews before buying anything online, before eating anywhere new, etc. etc. The trouble is that a lot of them can be easily faked and often are. So I wouldn't hold reviews as a high standard when deciding. Contact the clinic and ask if you can see before and afters. See if they can show you an edited picture of what your surgery would look like.

You are right, some people do it but most people can't afford it. And yes, they do tend to require fees or a percentage of the surgery be paid up front to protect from lost time due to last minute cancellations.

It is okay Most people don't go on forums daily. I know life can be busy offline. I am just glad you got help here. It can be hard to plan for plastic surgery locally much less in Korea. There is a lot of consider and plan for.

It is very different if you are in person. I would imagine many clinics end up seeing a percentage of cancellations every year from foreigners.

I actually read this as work like as in a job But yeah, as mentioned you do not need anything special coming from the US. South Korea has lean travel laws for Americans.

It depends on the clinic. Most state of the art (modern) clinics will offer a consultation online that includes rendering, planning, ect. so you can see what the surgery will look like on your face. That being said, the cost will vary. I would imagine they give you a cost estimate with room for it to be less or more expensive. Without seeing you in person, I doubt they can sign off on a set price. Medical work doesn't work like that.
