Hello everyone, my name is Riko. I'm actually thinking about getting cosmetic procedures done in Korea, but I'm completely overwhelmed with managing my budget and planning my overall itinerary...
Honestly, I'm not sure how much I'll need in total, considering flight tickets, accommodation, and the cost of the procedures themselves. I imagine the length of stay will vary depending on the procedure, but how do you all plan your trips? I'd really appreciate any practical advice, like how long to stay in Korea after the procedure, including recovery time.
Since this will be my first time getting procedures done abroad, I'm quite anxious about it. If anyone has experience, their advice on how to estimate the budget and what to prepare in advance would be incredibly helpful. I'd be so grateful for any tips you can offer!

I used to worry just like you! I think it's helpful to prepare a detailed spreadsheet for flights, hotels, and meals, and then separately for consultation sessions and the main procedures. That way, it's easier to manage. A small tip is to ask the places you're interested in thoroughly about the recovery time so you know how long you need to stay, because each type of procedure has a different timeline!
Oh, Riko! I was thinking the exact same thing. My scalp isn't exactly smooth either 😅 I always end up doing my budget and travel planning for Korea. It's nice to see someone else in the same boat! And I can't wait for people to share their real experiences!
I'm also a foreigner visiting for the first time, and your experience sounds very reasonable! A small tip: I booked my consultation about 2-3 weeks in advance. This gave me time to mentally prepare and ask detailed questions about the recovery period so I could arrange my stay accordingly. I agree with you that the budget needs to carefully consider additional costs beyond the treatment itself, otherwise, you might be in for a shock!
Riko, I totally get how you feel! I was also full of similar anxieties at first. I was so focused on just the flight and accommodation costs that I didn't really know how much the actual treatment would cost... 😅 As for the recovery period and how long I needed to stay in Korea, I only realized after I went, "Ah, I should have planned for more time," so I recommend making a schedule with a little buffer. Let's work through this together while waiting for advice from those with experience!
