Has anyone ever been to Korea for cosmetic surgery? I'm worried about the budget and schedule.

Hi everyone, I'm Thu. I'm planning to fly to Korea for a cosmetic procedure, but I'm really worried about the cost. I'm not only worried about the procedure itself, but also the entire trip – airfare, hotel, food, everything added up. Does anyone have experience with this and can share how to calculate the costs?

I'm also wondering how long I need to stay in Korea? I understand some procedures require recovery time, but what exactly does that mean? Just a few days or longer? I'm afraid that if I underestimate the cost, I'll end up with a huge budget discrepancy.

I'm also considering whether I should research prices beforehand or fly there and then go for a consultation in person. I feel like that would be safer, but it's also more expensive. Has anyone done this before? Or does anyone have any advice? I'd really appreciate it!
