I'm struggling with how to plan my budget and schedule for cosmetic procedures in Korea.

I'm also considering this, so I understand your concerns! I've seen that people usually stay for about 5-7 days, which is enough for follow-up appointments and recovery. Plus, you can use that time to do a little sightseeing too, hehe.

I'm thinking the same thing, so reading your post made me happy haha! Yes, the most complicated part is indeed preparing the total budget from the start, especially since flights from Japan are far and expensive. Maybe we can gather information together by asking for online consultations first before leaving. Who knows, they might be able to give us an idea of how long we need to stay and approximately how much the budget would be, so we don't have to guess 😅

I'm thinking the same thing! Flight prices from here are indeed quite high, but I've heard from friends who have been to Korea that they usually stay for about 5-7 days for consultations and follow-ups. Maybe we can try consulting online first or go there directly, and then see their recommendations for how long to stay, so we can plan our budget and time off work more clearly.

I totally get this stress—I'm from the US and did the same budget spiral before my trip! Honestly, I think reaching out for consultations is super smart because they can give you realistic timelines for how many days you'd need to stay, and then you can figure out if you should book flights for like a week or longer. The unknowns are the worst part, so once you have actual info from them it'll be way easier to plan around your work schedule.

I also came from Vietnam to Korea before, and my experience is that you should stay for about 5-7 days to have time to recover and also consult with the doctor a second time, rather than rushing back immediately. I advise you to contact 2-3 different places for consultations to compare prices and treatment plans, because everyone has different needs, so the costs vary a lot!
