Hi everyone, I'm Yan. I've been thinking lately about whether I should go to Seoul for double eyelid surgery. I've consulted with a few clinics in China, but I'm still feeling conflicted – I'm not sure if it's truly worth flying to Korea for it. The round-trip airfare, accommodation, and taking time off work for recovery... when I add it all up, the cost doesn't seem low either.

I've heard that Korea has extensive experience in this area and their aesthetic standards align more with my preferred style, but I'm also unsure if it's really worth traveling abroad specifically for this. Plus, I wouldn't be able to go back frequently for follow-up appointments. What if there are any complications? Have any of you ladies had practical experience with this? How did you weigh these factors?

Also, if I do decide to go, how far in advance should I start planning? Do I need multiple in-person consultations, or can communication be done remotely? I'm quite unfamiliar with the entire process, so I'd love to hear everyone's advice.
