ikiban8 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Hi iJUSTloveYOU, thank you for taking the time to send over this article. I didn't know that they had such a bad reputation. Looks like my search continues for a hospital that specializes in rhino and facial contouring. Will reach out to April 31 and DA now since I've already booked my trip!

ikiban8 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 You're awesome! Thanks for all the links. I don't have KK but will download today and send you my i.d. Would be nice to know that someone else is going to Seoul around the same time for moral support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrooper Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi Ladies, xxx I'm going to Seoul at the end of November for nose and eyes at JW, Also in terms of money and payment, what would you recommend I do, change over currency here and bring over hard cash with me, bring travellers cheques and change over to cash once in Seoul, or any other suggestions? JW charge 10% credit card fee so if I can avoid or reduce that would be preferable. What did you ladies do? Thanks so much! Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrooper Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 When I booked my surgery with JW three weeks ago, they were already pretty booked out and the earliest date I could get was 29th Nov for surgery. But I had already booked plane tickets so had to take it or leave it. Luckily I booked for 3 weeks there, so basically first week will be touristy things.

talkischic Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Cold hard cash is always best when it comes to bargaining. The price is usually the same for all big clinics, regardless of whether you are paying cash or credit. Don't worry about JW charging you 10% credit card fee, you will get 8% VAT (tax refund) for being a foreigner. They will provide you with a special receipt for that. The VAT receipt comes in a big envelop. If your procedure(s) cost A LOT of money then I would not advise you to carry that much cash on you, because it's risky. Sometimes paying a small credit card fee may not be a bad thing considering it's safer. Do NOT tell anyone in Korea that you are there for plastic surgery. You can't trust anyone. People can rob you or harm you. You never know. There are good and bad people in every country. So be safe. I don't use traveler's cheques so I don't know about that. You could withdraw money directly from your debt card at an international ATM at like the airport. There is a fee so prepare ahead of time how much you plan to withdraw. I personally just used my credit card. It was the safest option for me. Everywhere in Korea accepts credit card. I was even able to buy a small box of cotton swabs that cost like $1.75 USD through credit card at a pharmacy. Most credit cards will even give you an even better conversion rate than any exchange center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
