Hello ladies, I'm planning to visit Seoul soon for a cosmetic medical consultation, but I'm a little worried about the language barrier. I speak English well, but I don't know if clinics in Seoul are comfortable with English enough, or if I'll need to translate everything. If someone speaks my native language, that would be great, but I don't expect there will be.
My main question is: Is English enough for the initial consultation and discussing my needs? Or will I need to bring a translator? And are the medical staff usually understanding of questions, even if my English isn't perfect? I'm worried I won't be able to clearly explain my requirements.
For those who have been through this before, please share your experiences! Any tips on how to prepare?

I've been thinking about the same thing! From what I've heard, a lot of clinics in Seoul have staff who speak English, so don't worry too much about it. You could probably just prepare a few photos or descriptions of what you want, so it's easier to explain.
