Hey ladies, I'm considering getting a cosmetic procedure done in Korea but I'm a bit worried about the finances. I'm not sure where to start with planning the whole trip, from flights and accommodation to other expenses. Has anyone traveled alone and can share their experience?
I'd like to know how long people usually stay. I was thinking 5-7 days would be enough, or do I need longer? And how far in advance is it reasonable to plan? I've heard that peak season airfare is quite expensive, so I'm wondering which season would be best for both saving money and ensuring a safe recovery period.
I'm also wondering if I should make a list of places to consult with before I go, or wait until I'm in Korea to book appointments? I want to compare and research thoroughly beforehand, but I'm also afraid that consultation fees might add up unnecessarily. Do you ladies have any advice for someone planning this for the first time?

I was thinking the exact same thing, I totally relate! 😭 It's so hard to balance the length of stay with the budget, isn't it? I'm planning to research a few places beforehand to see if I can do online consultations, so I hope to narrow down the number of consultations I need once I arrive in Korea. Let's do our best together!
Reading your story, I totally understand your concerns! When you went to consult, did you go to just one place or visit several to compare? I'm curious how many days it took you to research and book.
Hello! How many days are you planning to stay? I'm also planning to go at the end of this year, but I'm having trouble understanding how long the recovery period will be.
I'm thinking the same thing! I was a bit nervous about the budgeting and timing too, but from what I've read on forums here, many people say 7-10 days is enough for recovery and exploring at the same time. Maybe we can share info later when we start researching—who knows, we might be able to give each other tips on the best season and how to arrange efficient consultations.
