Everyone I have talked to about aftercare says the most important thing is keeping skin clean, proper hydration, and diet. The topical stuff can only do so much. You want to make sure you drink enough water and are eating foods that encourage healing and skin repair.

I will be sharing this with a co-worker. She had been asking about specific surgeries and options for volume loss. I think a lot of her aging has to do with spending too much time in tanning beds but I am not going to be the one to tell her that

I know someone personally (in my family) that was taking medication for a health problem. Had no idea it was a blood thinner and failed to tell the dentist. She ended up in the ER because blood thinners can cause excessive bleeding! Talk about scary.

Yes, there are certain drugs that aren't allowed! I only know this because a friend got turned away when traveling and her entire vacation was ruined. So to avoid this, you need to contact the MFDS at [email protected] for specific guidance. You will have to obtain a permit for said medications prior to traveling to Korea. Here are the drugs that are prohibited: Narcotics and Opioids: Drugs containing codeine or other narcotics are strictly prohibited. Examples include certain painkillers and cough syrups. Amphetamines and Stimulants: ADHD medications containing amphetamines, such as Adderall, are illegal to possess. While methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin, Concerta) is available in Korea, it is tightly controlled, and bringing it in requires strict adherence to permit processes. CBD and Hemp Products: All marijuana, CBD oil, and hemp-derivative products are heavily regulated and effectively banned for import; possession can lead to deportation or arrest. Psychotropic Drugs: Certain sleeping aids (like Zolpidem) and benzodiazepines (like Xanax or Valium) are classified as controlled substances and require prior approval.

I would look around on places like Instagram. You might have better luck with gaining information. There are some people that focus on beauty and plastic surgery for example as well as trends that all tie into K-Pop stars, music, and all that. Just follow some and read the comments!!

I think this is why most if not all clinics will ask for medical history or records. It makes sense as surgery can be a major issue for some people even if it is minor. I have a friend who takes medication that makes it a risk to get dental work done. She actually has to stop the medication for a week prior every time.

This is what I read and was worried about. I guess I will have to pay the extra cost! Yes, this is what I am figuring. Even though I am paying more by Korea standards, I am still spending thousands less vs getting work done in America!

When it comes to getting work done in Korea, are the prices typically more costly for foreigners vs Korean citizens? Someone I was talking to said this is the case. If so, is there a way to get the cost cheaper? I am trying to get my finances in order to plan for a surgery early summer.
