Planning to have a procedure abroad — would like to ask about overall planning and budgeting

Hello everyone! I’m Sara. I’m thinking of going to Korea for aesthetic procedures this year, but I’m a bit confused about the overall budget. Since you’re going to ship from my country next month, I wanted to ask you guys. How much did those of you who have had procedures abroad actually pay? What were the costs like for flights, hotels, food, and the procedure itself?

I’m a medical professional, so you need to plan ahead. From what I’ve heard, it seems like you really need to take some days off after your procedure. How many days did you miss during that time? Did you get permission to return to work during that time?

And one more thing — what unexpected expenses did you incur in this planning? To be honest, I don’t really understand how well you should plan your overall budget. I’d love to hear your health experiences!
