Thinking about going to Seoul for double-eyelid surgery... is it actually worth the trip?

Hey everyone! So I've been thinking about getting a double-eyelid procedure done, and I keep seeing all these posts about how affordable and well-done it is in Seoul. I'm from the US and I'm genuinely torn about whether I should actually make the trip or just find someone local.

Like, I get the appeal – I've heard the techniques are really advanced there, and it seems like there are tons of clinics with experience doing this. But I'm also worried about recovery time, the whole long flight thing right after a procedure, and honestly just the logistics of traveling alone for surgery. Has anyone here actually done this from abroad? How did you manage the recovery?

I'm also wondering how to even decide if it's the right choice for me. Do you need multiple consultations before committing? And how do people usually handle follow-ups if you're back home? I'm not even sure what my actual budget would be when you factor in flights and accommodation. Would love to hear about anyone's experience weighing these kinds of decisions!
