How can I budget reasonably for my first time going abroad for cosmetic surgery?

Hi everyone, this is Wen. I've been considering getting a minor cosmetic procedure in Korea, but to be honest, I'm a little nervous, mainly because I don't know how to plan the whole trip and budget. I've read some posts, and the costs seem to vary greatly, and I'm not sure how many days I need. Could someone help me organize my thoughts?

My biggest concern right now is: besides the cost of the procedure itself, there's the added expense of airfare, accommodation, and food. If I want ample recovery time after the procedure, should I stay a few more days? I've heard some people choose to stay there for recovery, while others fly back; the experiences must be different. I'm worried that if my budget is insufficient, I'll be in a difficult position.

Also, I'd like to ask how everyone usually schedules their consultations and procedures? Do you fly there first for a consultation and then schedule the procedure, or are there other methods? I'm still unfamiliar with the procedures in Korea and am a little afraid of making mistakes. If anyone has gone through the entire process from planning to completion, especially regarding time and budget allocation, could you share some advice? Thank you!
