I'm thinking of getting a treatment in South Korea, but I'm completely lost when it comes to budget planning...

Hi everyone, I'm Qianqian. I've been considering getting a cosmetic procedure in South Korea lately, but honestly, I'm really unsure about planning the whole trip and the costs. Not only do I have to consider the cost of the procedure itself, but also airfare, accommodation, food… I feel like my wallet is going to cry.

I'd like to ask those who have been there before: how many days do you usually need to allow in the country? Can you finish the procedure and go home on the same day, or do you need to stay a few more days for recovery and follow-up appointments? I've heard that some procedures may require multiple treatments to see results, which might double the cost. Also, I'm not sure how to create a reasonable total budget…

It seems like you really need to do your research beforehand for cosmetic procedures abroad, otherwise you might be caught off guard or overspend. Would anyone be willing to share how you planned your trip? For example, what season to go, how far in advance to book flights, and which area to stay in for convenience? Any suggestions are welcome!
