Hi, this is Aya. I've been thinking about this for a while, but I'm considering going to Seoul, South Korea for double eyelid surgery. There are plenty of good clinics in Japan, so I'm honestly not sure if it's worth going abroad...

I've heard that South Korea is advanced in cosmetic medicine, and many people who have had surgery in Seoul say the results are natural. But when I consider the cost of airfare, hotel, and language barrier, I have no idea how much the cost will actually differ. I'm also worried about post-operative care, as I'll be far away...

For those who have traveled abroad for cosmetic procedures, what was your experience like? What were the deciding factors? I'd like to hear about clinic selection, preparation time, and other real-world experiences. If there are others who are also struggling with this decision, I'd love to think it through together.
