Hello ladies, I'm Nada from Dubai and I've had a question on my mind for a while. I've been considering double eyelid surgery, but I'm not sure if it's really worth traveling all the way to Seoul. Or can I get the same results here in the UAE? I heard that prices are lower in Korea, but there are also the costs of flights, hotels, and the time I'll be spending there.
Honestly, I'm a bit worried about the recovery and follow-up after the surgery. How can I follow up with the doctor if I return to the UAE directly? Are there any complications that might occur that I don't have? I also don't know how long I'll actually need to be under the bandage and undergo treatment, and if my choice isn't the right one, how can I manage it remotely?
Has anyone tried this idea? How did you make the decision? Was it really worth the trip? I need honest opinions and real experiences from girls who have been in the same situation.

Hey! I'm actually in a similar boat from the US side—also wondering about the travel logistics. Did you end up checking if any clinics offer remote follow-up consultations for international patients, or is that something you're still trying to figure out?
I understand how you feel, as I also came from overseas! It's a good idea to have several online consultations beforehand and ask detailed questions about post-operative follow-up. In my case, I chose a clinic that offered regular email consultations even after I returned to Japan, so I felt at ease knowing I could get help if I had any concerns. It's certainly a big decision considering the round-trip travel and accommodation costs, but I think you can reduce the risks if you can confirm the support system for the recovery period in advance 😊
I understand your concerns completely, because I'm also from abroad and had similar thoughts. What helped me was finding a clinic with a team that could be contacted online after returning home. Over time, most problems were resolved via chat or phone. The cost of flights, hotels, and recovery combined wasn't much different from Thailand or other countries. However, it still depends on each individual's situation.
