Hi everyone! I'm seriously considering going to Korea for a procedure I've been thinking about for a while, but I'm honestly feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out the financial side of it all. I keep going back and forth between whether this is actually doable or if I'm being unrealistic.

I'm trying to piece together flights from the US, accommodation, the procedure itself, and honestly just not sure how many days to budget for the whole thing. Like, do you usually need recovery time before flying back? How long did people stay? I'm guessing it really depends on what you're getting done, but I'm curious what others have found helpful when planning.

Also, if anyone's been through this—how did you actually approach budgeting without knowing exact prices beforehand? I feel like I need a rough framework but don't want to lowball myself and then be scrambling. Any tips on how to research realistic costs without committing to anything yet? I know everyone's situation is different, so I'm just looking for how you thought through the logistics. Thanks in advance!
