That is a good amount of time for a surgery like this. You have time to recovery and then some. If I were you, I would get in touch with some doctors in the area you will be in and explain your issue and see what they offer in terms of solutions. Some doctors will offer different surgery options than others.

I tried botox once when I was 29 I believe. I will be honest with you, at that age it did not make much of a difference. I think I looked fine until I make expressions and it came off... odd. I feel like botox is best for 35 or even 40+ in age. It doesn't last very long either and I think overdoing it when you are still young ends up causing more damage and aging long-term.

You'd be surprised by the number of people that know English in South Korea. The only other place I had gone where more people know English than not was the Philippines. It is very common for other nations, especially in areas where a lot of foreigners travel to, to have more people that speak English. It is good for business

YES! I think this is the best place to go to find a plastic surgeon in the world. I have had experiences with doctors in the US, Mexico, and Canada and I can tell you the work and the care I got in Korea was above and beyond what I experienced elsewhere.

Speak with Doctor Kwon Soon-Hong at the JK Plastic Surgery Center. He specializes in tummy work and while I was there, I saw some of his work and was floored. They could probably give you quotes and suggestions without going there in person to help you decide.

I don't think so. If you factor in the costs for travel and stay, plus food and shopping you end up paying more. I think the above poster is right, make it a vacation and tack on getting botox as a spa treatment of sorts while there rather than just going to there only for botox.

I just want to share a bit for anyone considering this clinic for getting work down. JK is located in Apgujeong (Gangnam District of Seoul) and was considered the best of the best when I was doing research. I took a chance with them and I do not regret it! Doctor Kim Sung-Sik was who did my work (nose and facial contouring) and I swear I look and feel younger and more radiant than I did in my 20s! For reference I am 41. I had no issues with translations or anything. Everyone at the clinic seemed to speak English and were very familiar with non-Korean bone structure. The cost and aftercare had me shook. I not only got my surgery at 30% of the cost I was quoted in the states but the aftercare was included and was amazing! They wanted to charge me extra in America. They have anywhere from 3,500 to 4,000 international patients from around the world every single year. I cannot recommend them enough!
