How far in advance should I book my medical trip to Korea?

For non-urgent elective procedures, booking 6–12 weeks in advance is ideal. This gives you time for: (1) video consultations with multiple clinics, (2) preparation of medical records and photos, (3) securing travel insurance, and (4) making accommodation and flight arrangements. For major surgeries like facial contouring or full facial packages, some top-tier clinics in Gangnam have waitlists of 3–6 months. For minor treatments like laser therapy or Botox, 2–4 weeks notice is usually sufficient. Avoid booking flights until you have a confirmed appointment with your chosen clinic.

What non-surgical skin treatments are most popular in Korea?

Korea is a global leader in non-surgical aesthetic medicine. The most popular non-surgical skin treatments for international patients include: (1) Ultherapy / HIFU — ultrasound-based skin lifting, zero downtime, $800–$1,500; (2) Thermage FLX — radiofrequency tightening, zero downtime, $700–$1,200; (3) Pico laser toning — pigmentation, pores, and rejuvenation, $150–$300/session; (4) Skin booster injections (Restylane Vital, Juvederm) — deep hydration, microinjections across the face, $300–$600; (5) Thread lift (PDO threads) — mechanical lifting effect, 2–3 days minor bruising, $800–$2,000; (6) Botox and fillers — widely available, very competitive pricing. Many visitors combine 2–3 of these treatments in a single trip.

Is it safe to fly home after surgery? When is it safe to fly?

Flying too soon after surgery carries real risks: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from immobility on long flights, swelling exacerbation from cabin pressure changes, and infection risk from public air travel. General guidelines: (1) Minor procedures (Botox, fillers, laser) — can fly the next day; (2) Rhinoplasty — typically cleared after splint removal (day 7–10), but many surgeons prefer 10–14 days; (3) Breast augmentation or liposuction — usually 7–10 days; (4) Facial bone surgery — minimum 14 days, prefer 21 days; (5) Dental implants (post-extraction) — 3–5 days. On long flights after surgery: walk every hour, stay hydrated, wear compression socks, avoid alcohol. Always get written medical clearance from your Korean surgeon before flying.
