Toyoko Inn Gangnam is a highly rated budget friendly hotel that is near a lot of clinics. It will run you anywhere from $65 USD to $130 USD per day depending on the room you get. If you want a luxury style hotel, Andaz Gangnam is often recommended. This is quite a bit more expensive at $500 USD to $900 USD per night but everyone says it is worth it. I wouldn't stay at this hotel for extended stays though, that will add up fast!

Is this really that common? I feel like it would be in any clinics best interest to make sure follow-ups are good, especially if they want the patient to come back for more treatments. Maybe they focus mostly on one-off surgeries which is why they just push people along? I am not sure.

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to give it a bump for anyone finding this via search engines. So I have been in contact with a few clinics for laser treatments, locally and in Korea. One of the clinics that responded right away was the gowoonline clinic and they were very clear about laser treatments, pricing, and recovery. One of their specialties is acne scar removal so I would give them a try if you are looking for scar removal. I am looking for scar and tissue repair from old scars on my chin.

I had no idea you could get a mastectomy and get implants and reconstruction at the same time! I just wish this wasn't a "growing demand" because that implies a lot more women are getting breast cancer

I don't know if it was intentional or not but both links just take you to the same thread. Thanks for including the prices here. I think a lot of people assume most clinics charge around the same and I have come to find that is not true.

Since you are very early into the process, I would plan for 2027. You don't want to rush your first trip and have a bad experience!

Yes, it is popular. This is why you see a lot of clinics focusing on V-line facial contour and refined cheekbones. Buccal fat removal falls into this category and is used to achieve a slimmed down face. They tend to only do partial fat removal though which is more natural looking, healthy, and age better. Women that get all the fat removed end up aging badly.

You can try contacting Dr. Ko at zero one ps. I know for sure this clinic does revision and reconstruction surgery for noses. I talked to a few people that have gone here for this very thing and had good results. No personal experience from me though, just make sure you do your research!

I can tell you that the pride ps as well as note ps are often recommended the most online for breast augmentation. But I do not have any personal experience nor do I know if these surgeries are actually "natural looking". You are going to have to look at the reviews, compare what people say online, and contact the clinics.

Start with verifying credentials through official networks like the Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons (KAPS) or the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KSPRS), making sure the doctor is a certified specialist rather than a general practitioner. Use international platforms (RealSelf, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) directory) and medical tourism agencies like Docfinderkorea to compare board-certified surgeons, read patient reviews, and view before-and-after galleries. You can also research clinics located in major districts like Gangnam, Apgujeong, and Sinsa in Seoul, while cross-referencing local Korean review platforms like Naver and Babitalk for real patient experiences.

Not everyone can get these sorts of surgeries and look good but I would imagine your friend being half Korean is a good candidate. I have seen non-Korean women go for this and it did not look right after and I have read stories of regret online. I am sure which ever Dr. she works with will have an easier time with her facial structure because of what he/she will have to work with.

Board Certification. I made that bold because I feel it is the most important thing. Never overlook this. Soon as you find a clinic you like, before even contacting them make sure they are board certified. Everything else comes second to this.

I think it is pretty straight forward. I am not expert here but if you want to find a clinic that specializes on nose work then it shouldn't be that difficult. Just follow the same recommendations as you would for any other sort of clinic in terms of safety.

Yes, I did join. Thanks. It has been helpful. Is this true? Wouldn't a doctor have mentioned this to me? I thought skin work was just about pulling it back and/or trimming it. Yes, it will eventually sag again but it gives you a number of years where it doesn't.

I am in my mid 50s and started getting a lot of sagging skin on my neck and jaw. I have those droopy bits on each side of my chin. I would like to get this all tightened up so I look and feel young again. I stumbled on a Facebook group that talked about plastic surgery and I was ready to book an appointment until I realized how expensive it was. I am still paying off debts and can't afford the cost in the states. Someone told me she got work done in Korea for 70% cheaper. I messaged her but have not heard anything for weeks. So I started looking around online for help and stumbled on this forum. I am hoping someone can help me figure this out. As in where to look for a clinic, the process, the prices, and how everything happens. I have not been outside the US in 15 years either. Last time I was I was in France.
