Hi everyone, I'm Yan. I'm considering getting a cosmetic procedure in Korea, but honestly, I'm unsure about the itinerary and costs. I'm traveling from China, and I'd like to ask how many days off I usually need? Is at least a week ideal?
My biggest worry is the budget. Besides the surgery or treatment itself, there's the cost of airfare, accommodation, and food. I've never had a cross-border cosmetic procedure before, so I'm not sure how to plan it properly. Could any of you share how far in advance you need to prepare from booking the procedure to departure? Do they provide a rough cost range during the consultation?
Also, there's the recovery period. I've heard some procedures have quick recovery times, while others take longer before you can see people again. If I can only take a week off, should I choose one with a faster recovery? I'd really appreciate any advice from experienced people; I'm quite lost right now.

I totally understand how you feel! I also came from China, and I was initially very anxious about the time and budget. My advice is to consult with a few companies first. They usually give you some recovery period suggestions based on your vacation time, so you can plan more clearly. Actually, booking 1-2 months in advance is safest; this ensures you have the time and also allows ample preparation time.
