How long to stay in South Korea for?

[Snorl4x99]

Hi everyone, I'll be having des and some Fg. just wondering how long I should stay in Korea for to accommodate consultations, surgery and aftercare. Once a clinic has been decided, how long have people had to wait to get a surgery date? Is 1 week in South Korea to do everything sufficient?

Depending on the period (peak/non-peak) as well as how busy the clinic would be. I would say 1 week might be a little rushed as the surgery date may not be scheduled on the following day after consultation. I would recommend you to give some allowance of +2 to 3 days. 

Stitches removal is usually on day 5 or 7 depending on the procedures done.

Hi, I heard foreigner usually wait for few days (1-3 days) to schedule  surgery but clinics prioritize foreigner if possible. They know limited time. I think 1 week is too short. Usually it takes 5 -7 days for suture removal (incisional DES).

I would say if you havent secured a clinic yet and looking to do some face 2 face consultation, you would need to buffer 1-2 days for consultation and then additional 7 days for recovery post op. Total would be 10 days minimum. Suture removal is always done on the 7th day, 5th would be too early, this is based on my experience

Once it's been decided you would typically need to stay 7 days after the surgery date.

If you want to do in-person consultations before getting surgery, then at least 2 weeks. If you only have 1 week, then you need to book surgery date after the online consultation.

depends on the recovery, as I understand from the video on YouTube, clinics usually place you in their rooms for the recovery period, that is, you don’t need to rent a hotel
