I want to get a treatment course in Korea, but I'm a bit anxious about the whole trip and budget.

Hi everyone, I'm Nan. I've been thinking about getting a cosmetic procedure in Korea, but honestly, just imagining the whole trip and the costs makes me a little anxious. I need to figure out the costs for flights, accommodation, the procedure itself, and also budget for living expenses during recovery. Have any of you had similar experiences? I'm particularly curious about how long you typically need to stay there. Can you return the same day as the procedure, or is it better to stay a few days for recovery?

I've seen all sorts of price information online; some say it's cheap, while others say it's not that much cheaper after all. To be honest, I haven't decided on a specific procedure yet, so I'm not sure how to plan my budget. I'm wondering if I should consult a few medical institutions first to get an idea, or if there's a way to communicate with them in advance from China?

What bothers me the most is that I don't want to waste money, nor do I want to settle for less-than-ideal results because I was trying to save money. Has anyone been able to share how they planned their overseas medical aesthetics trips? For example, how far in advance did you book, how did you choose a clinic, and was there a big difference between the actual cost and your expectations? I would really appreciate any advice from experienced friends!
