Seoul TouchUp? DocFinderKorea?

There's a lot of users calling people "stupid" & "dumb" just because they feel like they need a service to help them along with their surgery journey.

You all do realize that there are some people who have never traveled the world?

I remember wanting surgery so bad, and knew I wanted to get it in Korea, but had no idea how to use a subway station, how to speak Korean, or knew if the clinic staff knew English.

It wasn't until AFTER I went to Korea through DocFinderKorea that YES, most of the clinics have staff that speak English and translate for you.

Generally speaking; you just need to book your flight, book a hotel near the clinic you desire, book a consultation with the clinic, and this way you can either just walk to the clinic or take a taxi.

Taking a taxi is easy if you know some Korean. I studied Korean for a month before I went to Korea, so I knew how to say where I wanted to go. Remember, if you want phone service in a foreign country, talk to your mobile service provider.

My inexperience self learned the hard way that I should've done that beforehand. x)

If you have no clue as to how the subway works, there are a few tutorials on Youtube that teach you. It's simple once you get the hang of it. I even made a tutorial on Youtube just because it was so easy. lol

The other problems with going by yourself is that you will have to go to the pharmacy to pick up certain medications. I don't think I would've had the courage to go & do this by myself. Just a heads up!

I have friends in Korea who could have helped me, but I didn't know them too well before I got there, so I didn't want them to see me go through that healing process. It's a very dark time where you just want to be yourself in my opinion.

But yes, definitely do your research and take as much time as you need. Some of these clinics like to rush the consultation because it's peak season and they have a lot of clients.

Also, talk to your bank about expanding the amount you're allowed to use within a day if the surgery is expensive.

And tell them about your foreign travel. Sometimes, cards get locked for security purpose/ suspicious activity unless verified by you.

Good luck! I wish someone would've told me this, but then again, I didn't ask or know about this forum until after I got the surgery.

Wow. That a brilliant idea! Can I learn Korean on the Youtube as well? I don't know how you guys come up such things

Be careful when you decide it.

Hey there, just don't do either of them, run far away from them both. Read and then re-read what the majority of people on this forum have to say about those types of medical tourism groups; they're a waste of money. With a bit of perseverance in research and getting in contact with clinics yourself, you will be much better off (financially and emotionally).

Seoul is easy enough to navigate, there is no shortage of accomodation options and the public transportation system is ace, there is honestly no need to utilise services like Docfinder or Seoul Touchup that end up just being an unwanted pain. Good luck, you can def do it by yourself!!

Yes much more. A girl from my group went to Banobagi with docfinder paid 7.5 million krw for eyes and nose. Another girl went alone only just 4.7 million krw eyes and nose.
