Hi everyone, I'm Dan, and I've been wrestling with a dilemma lately. I want to get a cosmetic procedure done, but I'm torn between finding a doctor in China or saving up to go to Korea. Both options have their pros and cons – going local is convenient and hassle-free, but I can't shake the feeling that Korean aesthetics and techniques might be a better fit for the style I'm after. On the other hand, the cost of going to Korea is quite high, not just the procedure fee but also round-trip flights and accommodation.
What's really making me hesitate is whether it's too much of a hassle to fly all the way there just for one surgery. Plus, being so far from home during the recovery period, it would be inconvenient if any issues arise. But then again, I've seen so many friends rave about how incredibly satisfied they were after procedures in Korea, which makes me really tempted.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of decision-making struggle? How did you ultimately decide? Did you go with a local doctor, or did you grit your teeth and head to Korea? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and advice, as I feel this is a pretty significant decision.

I totally get your dilemma! I'm also thinking about this. I wanted to ask, have you considered consulting with a doctor in China first to see if you can achieve the results you want? That might make it clearer whether it's really necessary to specifically fly to Korea.
