Hi everyone, I'm Wen. I've been considering getting a cosmetic procedure in Korea, but honestly, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the budget and the whole trip planning. I'm not exactly rolling in money, so I wanted to ask experienced ladies in advance how much I need to prepare. Besides the medical expenses themselves, there's also the cost of airfare, accommodation, and food, which seems like it'll cost a lot.
I've done some research, and it seems like I need to allow for recovery time, but I'm really unsure whether it's a week, two weeks, or longer. Different procedures probably require different amounts of time, right? Could someone share how you planned your entire trip? For example, when to book flights, when to schedule consultations, what to do during recovery… It feels like there are so many things to consider in advance.
Also, do you have any tips on how to plan my budget more intelligently? I want to minimize the risks while also not spending too much money upfront. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I also felt the same anxiety and hesitation at first 😅 I think the most important thing is to make a list of all the costs beforehand (flight, accommodation, food, sightseeing), not just the sightseeing itself, and try to allocate extra time to rest after the procedure. Have you decided on the type of tourism you want yet?
Hi Wen, I hope you're doing well! I understand your concerns completely, as I felt the same way. I have a question for you: what specific treatments are you considering? In my experience, the recovery period varies considerably depending on the type of treatment, so I think that will affect how you plan your trip.
