Planning Your Plastic Surgery in Korea

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Plastic Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery

This article assumes that you have already made a decision on which procedure you would live to have done and that you have also chosen, or almost chosen, the doctor and the clinic where you wish to go. Advice on these two things will be provided in another article, but for now let’s focus on how to actually plan the trip, what you need to know before you leave for Korea, and what you need to know once you have landed in the country. Plastic surgery in Korea for those coming from abroad is in some ways similar to a holiday trip, but because of the additional elements of it actually being for medicinal reasons, there are many more things that you need to prepare for before hand.

PREPARE ALL THE PAPERWORK AND VISA IF NEEDED

You will need to prepare all the paperwork that you need for the clinic. This includes any previous medical conditions or surgeries, which you can get from your own doctor. Try to collect as much information as possible on your medical history as this will greatly help your doctor in Korea to understand your body better and to choose the right approach for your procedure. Pay special attention to any allergies that you may have and make sure that you have them all written down and prepared, because some people may actually be allergic to certain medicine.

Once you have collected all of your medical paperwork, you will need to prepare your passport and your visa. Of course, if you already have a Korean passport or if you come from a country that doesn’t have tourist visas for Korea then you won’t have to worry about this, but do still make sure that you have everything prepared well in advance before your journey. There is no need to place yourself in a situation where you will become frustrated, because you need to be as relaxed and stress-free as possible for your procedure.

BOOK YOUR ACCOMODATION WELL IN ADVANCE

There are many great websites where you can look for a place to stay in Korea, and since you will be coming for surgery, your clinic will very likely be located in the Gangnam area.

Procedures That Don’t Take A Thousands Miles

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Asian Plastic Surgery, Korean Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery News

South Korea may be the best place in the world to get plastic surgery done? Quite possibly. Its abundance of specialists, its supportive environment, and years of research and development have made this country a serious hot spot for those who are seeking to undergo a plastic surgery. However, despite its many advantages, it is not necessary to take this long journey to South Korea in order to get a specific Korean plastic surgery done. Although this may be true for more serious procedures, your own country will likely be qualified enough for smaller ones, and you will save quite a bit of money on the travel costs in the process.

WHY PEOPLE GO TO SOUTH KOREA IN THE FIRST PLACE

The most frequent answer to this question is that people will choose to go to South Korea specifically to have a procedure done if it is a complex and difficult procedure for which they need the highest possible plastic surgery specialist, and Korean surgeons understand how to create the beauty of Asians. Korean clinics are equipped with special recovery rooms which specifically cater to these kinds of patients, and which allow them to recover in peace for as long as needed until they are ready to return to their everyday lives. However, while these are certainly a valid reason to travel to South Korea for your surgery, not all procedures are this complex, and they certainly don’t all require a long period of recovery after they are done.

Dealing with Criticism on Plastic Surgery

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Korean Plastic Surgery

Society seems to always feel very free to comment on other people’s choices in life, and not comment in ways that would be productive and/or supportive, but rather with much negative criticism and preaching. Plastic surgery is an especially sensitive topic, and one that has not yet been accepted so easily by everyone. Ignorance, a lack of research, and also a lack of general understanding for other people is leading many to spew hate on people who have undergone plastic surgery. Although we are starting to see some changes in this behavior, it seems as though it will take quite a few more years before we can stand shoulder to shoulder with each other and fully support our own choices in life.

Plastic Surgery to Prevent Visible Aging

Written by Seoul TouchUp. Posted in Anti-Aging Treatment

Aging is a completely natural process and should not be considered visibly unappealing. Many people are respected for embracing every year of their life and they live these years to the fullest regardless of how old they are. Plastic surgery that focuses on aging doesn’t serve the purpose of stopping aging altogether, but rather to help people deal with certain physical points of aging that they may find unwelcoming. If you are considering the alteration of a certain part of your body in your older years, or if you want to prevent certain changes from happening as soon as possible, then plastic surgery could be the right thing for you. It is important to mention that you should consider these procedures as something that will make you feel comfortable, and not as something that will drastically change who you are.
