Worried about the budget for cosmetic procedures abroad 😅

Hi everyone, I'm Thu from Vietnam. I'm considering going to South Korea for a cosmetic procedure, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about the costs and itinerary. I've looked through some forum posts, but I'm still not entirely sure about how to calculate a reasonable total budget. Besides the procedure cost, I also need to factor in flights, accommodation, food, etc. Does anyone have any experience to share?

I'm particularly concerned about the timing. I understand that I should stay for a few weeks after the procedure for follow-ups, right? But I'm not sure exactly how long I need to stay to be able to fly back safely. I'm adding everything up, and the number is a bit higher than my initial estimate 😅

I also don't know if I should have a consultation first to get a clearer idea of the specific costs. Has anyone here planned a detailed trip like this before? Could you share some insights? I feel like I need some encouragement and practical advice from those who have gone through the experience.
