Hi everyone, I'm Nadia from Indonesia and I'm currently considering the possibility of going to Seoul for double eyelid surgery. I've been curious about this procedure for a long time, but I haven't dared to take the plunge because I'm worried about having to travel abroad alone. Now I'm starting to seriously consider it, but I'm still unsure whether it's worth it, considering the effort and travel costs.
What I want to ask you is: has anyone traveled from Indonesia specifically for this procedure? What were your experiences with treatment coordination, follow-up, and jetlag? I'm really concerned about practical matters like how long the recovery period is, when I can fly home, and whether I can handle it all alone.
I'd also like to know your perspective on whether the quality is significantly different from the one in Jakarta, or is it more about personal preference and comfort level? And if I do want to go, when's the best time? I'm also worried about complications upon returning to Indonesia.
Anyway, thank you if anyone would like to share their stories or insights. I'm still in the thinking stage, not committed to anything yet. Hehe.

Hello Nadia! 🙋♀️ I'm also from the UAE and I thought about the same idea, but my question is: Is your main concern the cost of the trip and the time, or the fear of medical follow-up later while you're in Indonesia? Because this changes the subject a bit, okay?
I completely understand your concerns! As someone living alone overseas, it's really difficult to decide whether to travel all the way to Seoul for surgery, especially considering the recovery period and aftercare. I think this decision isn't just about the quality of medical care, but more about your own comfort and confidence. So perhaps you could consult with a few clinics first to understand the recovery time and specific follow-up plans. This will help you better determine if the trip is worthwhile.
