Wouldn't the jawline require surgery of the jaw as well? Not just the skin? Maybe use of an implant to keep the skin more tight. You might want to look into the bone density of your jawline to see if it has gone down with your age. Some people have that happen and this causes the skin to sag. So The issue isn't so much the skin as the bone degrading over time. In which case you can look into a clinic like EverM Dental which is more dental/OMFS oriented and can correct the underlying issue if you have it. If you just fix the skin when you have bone loss, it will end up sagging again over time and a lot faster from my understanding.

I have heard of spa clinics that offer anti-aging but never looked into non-surgical work. Laser is meant to be promising for a lot of corrective issues. Even when it comes to deep wrinkles. I think Moo is tight though that you have to be aware of the results not being something that lasts. Similar to botox.

Maybe this was based on other specialty measures and surgery other than standard lipo? I am not sure but a lot of people seem to believe this. I did look into it more and you are right about it not being as expensive and what you said makes more sense.

A friend of mine who I have been talking to about my planned surgery is considering taking a trip with me. She is part Korean but would love to play into her features more and get work done to make her face appear more Korean. She was looking at nose jobs and eye surgeries for the Korean-style aesthetics in the beauty world. Are there any clinics that focus on trends like this? I would imagine there is but for her, it is more of a niche case as she is wanting to look more Korean.

I am actually going to need some lipo for my tummy tuck. I was told by two clinics so I have a general idea of the pricing. For me it is going to be $1,500 (in Korea). I don't have much that needs to be removed. I would guess it would be double for a standard amount and maybe another $1000 if it was around the back. I heard removing back fat takes a bit more effort and time. So I would guess $4,000 would be the price based on what I know.

I am sure you could find a clinic willing to remove breast implants or whatever else is done, maybe correct scaring and such. I don't know much about these surgeries but I never heard of a clinic specifically for this. There isn't even a clinic only for gender affirming surgeries. A lot of them offer this stuff on top of other plastic surgery.

Thanks everyone. I have been researching it since I posted it and everyone seems to be correct. I also spoke with a few clinics. I am intending on taking an additional 2 weeks off after coming home from Korea with one on the table. So they know ahead of time I may need an extra week but I will be working from home so it is fine.

I am hoping someone here has had one done. I am not sure how long I should take off from work in total. I have a general idea of how long I will need to be in Korea but in terms of healing and recovery, I don't know how long I should avoid working. My job does have some labor aspects to it which is concerning me. I could do some work from home but I want to make sure I can get enough time to recover before working again to risk injury or messing up my surgery.

I didn't even think of restrictions for prescription drugs in Korea! Thank you for posting this thread asking about it. I am going to have to look into this more and probably contact them as I do take anxiety medication as needed.

I didn't think of getting a credit card in case it is needed, that is a good idea. I will look into it. I'll have to do some math and get a general idea of costs by contacting different clinics. Thanks everyone!

No you just need a standard passport unless you plan on staying there for an extended time. I can't remember what it is called but a set of nations allows for easy travel without visas via passports and the US and South Korea are two of those locations.

So $1000 for hotel and flights, and $8,000 for the surgery. I'll probably want at least $1000 for shopping/food so I guess planning on $10,000 would be ideal? Thanks for the information!!

I lost over a 120 pounds and unfortunately because of my age and genetics, I have a lot of loose skin on my stomach. I was looking into doctors locally but I can't afford to have this done here. It is just too expensive. I heard Korea has better pricing. Can someone give me an idea of how much this surgery would cost in total (including flights and average hotel stay)?
