Hi everyone, I'm Huong and I'm planning to go to South Korea for a cosmetic procedure I've been thinking about for a long time. However, I'm a bit nervous because I don't know how to budget the costs properly. I need to factor in airfare, accommodation, food, and the procedure itself. Does anyone have experience with this and can share how long I should prepare the money?
I'm also unsure how many days I should stay. I've read that after the procedure, there are recovery days when you can't go anywhere immediately, but I don't know exactly how long it takes to be able to move around normally again. Has anyone experienced this? I want to know how many days I should take off work to be safe?
Also, I'm considering whether I should do more research with the local authorities or if the best option is to find someone I know to go with me? I'm a little worried because this is my first time going abroad alone for work like this. Does anyone have any advice for someone like me who's new to this?

I'm curious. Have you tried contacting someone who has been there before? Anyone who has done it before should be able to tell you how many days you need to stay and approximately how much it will cost overall. 😊
I understand, Hun-san! I'm planning my trip with similar anxieties. It seems like prior research and a flexible schedule are really important. I'm worried about going alone, but let's do our best! 😊
Exactly! I'm planning the same thing and honestly nervous about the budget and length of my stay. Hopefully, we can both get some good information from those with experience!
I'm also considering going to Korea for treatment! Hearing you say that makes me a little nervous, but it seems you've been doing your research, so it should be fine. I'm also thinking about how long I should stay. Maybe I should ask experienced people how many days off they usually take, that way I'll have more confidence in myself.
I'm thinking the same thing, Huong! I think you really need to budget a decent amount and maybe take some time off to recover, because from what I've read on forums, some people need a few days before they can resume their normal activities. Hopefully, we can both get some good information from those who have experienced this! 🤞
