This is my first time going for cosmetic surgery in Korea, and I don't know how much money I need to prepare or what kind of plan I should make.

Hi everyone, I'm Mai from Vietnam. I'm thinking about going to South Korea for some cosmetic procedures, but I'm a little worried about the budget. I'm not sure how much money I need to save to cover the entire trip – including airfare, hotels, food, and treatment costs. Has anyone done this before? How did you plan it?

I'd like to know more about the timeline – how long should I stay in Korea? Do I need to return for follow-up appointments, or can I complete everything in one trip? I'm also not sure how many weeks or days would be enough. Also, I'm wondering whether to stay near Gangnam or in other, cheaper areas that are still convenient for transportation.

I'm a little scared because it's my first time doing something like this abroad. If anyone has been through this, please give me some advice – where should I start, what checklist should I follow, and how can I avoid overspending? Thank you very much!
