Hello ladies, I'm Sarah from the UAE, and I'm seriously considering a cosmetic procedure in Korea. Honestly, I'm a bit lost when it comes to the financial aspect and planning. I'm not exactly sure about the total cost of the trip – flights, hotel, and the procedure itself – and how many days I need to stay there. Are the prices really cheaper than in the Gulf, or is it all the same cost in the end?
What worries me most is not wanting to be hit with unexpected financial surprises while I'm there. Like, are there any additional costs I'm not thinking about? And how many days do I need for recovery before I can go back to work? Is it possible to go and come back within the same week, or do I need to stay longer?
If any of you have gone through this, I'd love for you to share your experience with planning and budgeting. I want to understand how you organized things and how much time you actually needed. Thanks, ladies 💕

Hi Sara! I was wondering what kind of treatment you're considering because I noticed the recovery times vary a lot. How many days are you planning to rest? 😊
Sara, I have a question: the recovery period really varies quite a bit depending on the type of procedure, doesn't it? I'm struggling with the same thing, so what kind of procedures are you actually considering?
Reading your post, I really understand. I've also traveled to Korea, and this budget truly requires careful consideration because the cost of flights + accommodation + food + treatment adds up to more than expected. However, it's still cheaper in some aspects compared to here in our country 😅
Hi Sarah, I'm also considering this! I understand your concerns about the cost and recovery time, but from what I've heard, a 1-2 week stay is reasonable for most people to allow for both recovery and exploring the city. I'd also love to hear from others who have already been – can anyone share their experience? 💕
To Sara! I had similar worries too. By the way, how long are you planning to stay for the treatment? I had planned for a week, but I heard that it's better to extend the schedule due to the recovery period, so I was curious 😅
Hi Sarah, I also flew in from overseas to Korea for beauty treatments, so I totally understand how you feel! I found the prices here to be much cheaper than back home, but you should factor in costs for food, transportation, and possibly additional consultation sessions since recovery time depends on the type of treatment. I suggest staying for about 10-14 days, which should be a reasonable amount of time to rest before returning to work 😊
Hey Sarah, I'm also from the UAE and felt the same anxiety! The truth is, the prices here are a bit cheaper, but it's important to factor in the costs of your hotel, food, and transportation, not just the session itself 😅
