Anyone planning to go to Korea in early 2024? Let's talk!

Typically, eyes & nose procedures are done on different days, with eye surgeries done first. Reason being, nose-related surgeries will cause the eye area to swell/bruise. From what I've seen, nose procedures are done at least 1 day after the eye surgeries.
If you're really efficient with scheduling consults and have narrowed it down to a handful of clinics, then 10 days is sufficient. You'd attend your consults on the 1st day of arriving, then do your eyes the same day, or on day 2. Then do your rhino procedures on day 3. Stiches would be removed 7 days post-op. Of course, if you can stay > 10 days then that would be ideal; most stay for around 14 days.
Thank you so much for your detailed response @CFA_with_400ccsilicone! I think I will be booking for roughly 14 days just so that things aren't rushed and I will be able to do some sightseeing too.
Also, do you know if it's possible to get skin treatment whilst staying in Korea?
Hi @jia0609 please make sure you get intraop or postop steroids to stop swelling to ensure facelift longevity. Make sure you see 1 year postop results as facelifts drop at 4-6 months without steroids.
Yes, why not; already getting plastic surgery in Korea, why not skin procedures. Tons of derm clinics in Gangnam: Muse, JFeel, LienJang etc.
Is it better to get skin treatments before or after DES? Does it matter?
Does not matter since DES is limited to your upper eyelids. There may be swelling to your undereye & crows feet area, but you can have the derm avoid those areas when getting skin treatments.
Can anyone add me to the group please. Im planning to do facial contour. My ID : charmaineeg
