Hi everyone, I'm Lei. I've been thinking about getting double eyelid surgery, and recently I've noticed a lot of people going to Seoul for this procedure. I can get it done in China, but I've heard that Korea has extensive experience in this area. However, I'm a bit conflicted – traveling all the way to Seoul for this surgery, plus the cost of flights, accommodation, and the potential inability to work during recovery, feels quite expensive. Have any of you flown from China to Korea for similar procedures? Do you think the trip was worth it?

My main concern is that deciding on the surgery itself is already difficult, and adding the stress of going abroad, language barriers, and recovering in an unfamiliar environment – I'm not sure if it's cost-effective. I'd like to hear about your experiences – for example, how did you make your decision? Do you have any advice on choosing a medical institution? I've heard consultations are important, but I feel a bit uneasy just consulting through screens and phone calls.

Another question is about post-operative follow-up. If I have surgery in Korea, what should I do if I experience any discomfort afterward? Would it be difficult to seek treatment from the doctor after returning to China? I welcome everyone to share your thoughts and experiences. I'm still gathering information, and I'd appreciate any advice!
