Hi, this is Isaki. I've been thinking about getting double eyelid surgery for a while, but lately I've been seriously wondering if it's worth it to have it done in Seoul. Of course, I know there are good hospitals in Japan, but I've heard that Korea performs more surgeries and that the prices are cheaper... However, considering the hassle of traveling abroad and the post-operative care, I'm honestly not sure if it's really worth it.
Has anyone actually had surgery in Korea after traveling from overseas? What was it like in reality, like the fatigue of travel and language barriers? I'm also worried about getting reliable counseling. I hear there are places that offer Japanese-language support, but I wonder if all the subtle nuances will really be conveyed...
I want to make a comprehensive decision, including the financial aspect. The surgical technique and the final result are important, but even more than that, I'm stuck on the question of whether traveling abroad is even realistic. I'd love to hear someone's real-life experience.

I totally get the worry about the logistics! Honestly, the language barrier was my biggest concern before coming, but I found that most places have English or even Japanese-speaking coordinators who can help explain things during consultations. The flight fatigue is real though — I'd say give yourself a few extra days to rest before and after if you can. As for follow-up care, I was able to do some check-ins via video calls, which helped, but it definitely requires more planning than getting something done locally. Maybe try having a detailed consultation first (some places do virtual ones) to see if you feel comfortable with the communication before committing to the trip?
I'm also considering something similar, so your question is very helpful! I wanted to ask if you've researched the options in Japan, or if you're willing to take the risk of traveling far to try it in Korea? Because I'm also worried about aftercare at home 🥺
After reading your story, I can sense your anxiety. 😅 Honestly, language skills and post-surgery follow-up are really important, especially if you're going abroad. I recommend trying to find some Thai people who have been there before. Some say that clear communication from the start is crucial, and preparing for follow-up while overseas can be challenging.
