Planning a trip for cosmetic surgery in Korea - how to manage the budget?

Hello ladies! I'm Lina from the UAE, and I'm seriously considering traveling to Korea for a cosmetic procedure, but I'm feeling anxious about the budget and overall planning. The truth is, I don't have a clear idea of how many days I need to stay there—is a week enough, or do I need two? And is it better to book the hotel before I go, or after consulting with the doctor about the recovery period?

I'm a bit worried about the extra costs I couldn't anticipate—like flights, hotels, food, and everything else. I also don't know if it's better to go alone or take someone with me. Some people say I need a companion, while others say it's essential. It definitely depends on the type of procedure.

Has anyone traveled for cosmetic surgery and could help me understand the best way to plan? How did you balance the costs of the trip and the procedure itself? How many days were practically enough for you? Any tips you can give me to help ease my anxiety a bit?
