Is it necessary to pay deposit to clinic before you arrive in Korea?

Written by jasmin0710. Posted in Medical Tourism Korea, Plastic Surgery News, Uncategorized

Clients are asked to do wire transfer for the deposit to clinic to save a date of their plastic surgeries before they arrive in South Korea
Clients are asked to do wire transfer for the deposit to clinic to save a date of their plastic surgeries before they arrive in South Korea.

When you would like to book a surgery date, we always ask of you to do wire transfer for a deposit. You will probably wonder why it is necessary to pay deposit to clinic in advance while you are not even there yet. In this page, we will explain about how important it is to do so especially for those who visit Korea from overseas.

Why do you have to make a deposit to clinic?

Making a deposit is a first step to save the surgery spot. Most of the clinics nowadays have settled it as a policy. According to the policy, you can safely secure the date and time of your surgery by making a deposit. Imagine that the clinic suddenly changes the surgery date when you already have set out all the schedules for your medical tour to Korea! It could most likely happen to popular clinics where many clients visit if you don't pay deposit in advance. This may result in chaos on your schedules including the flight, hotel, tour, etc. Therefore, making a deposit to a clinic is like a promise with a clinic to prevent such an unexpected change.

A deposit to clinic for your sake

As you may have known, popular doctors at prestige plastic surgery clinics are tight with their schedules. Sometimes, their operation schedules are fully booked even for a month. It happens when the demand for local and international customers is extremely high. Therefore, you will find it difficult to book especially during the holidays and the vacation seasons. Because of that, deposit system has been a very important step for clients. Once you arrange a surgery date by paying the deposit, surgeons will save several hours for you as to have consultation and operation.

Beneficial to pay deposit after all

Just like mentioned above, a deposit policy is in fact very beneficial for both clients and clinics. How? It can prevent clients from being messed up with their schedules and clinics from canceling issues and missing other perspective clients.

How much would be the deposit?

The minimum deposit to save a surgery spot is approximately 10% of the total surgery fee. But it won’t be exactly 10% since you don’t get the final quote until you have a face-to-face consultation. It would be still okay though since they will deduct the deposit from the final payment. Click here to find out more about approximate plastic surgery fees. Please note that the price stated in the website is only an approximation. Also, it may subject to change depending on your specific conditions or which clinic you decide to go to. If you want to know more about prices, please submit your form to our website!

Should I also pay a deposit to SeoulTouchUp package service?

Finding a right doctor and a suitable clinic for you is already a massive and energy consuming work. But you still have a bunch of things to consider for your stay in South Korea: where to stay, how to get to hospital, how to get recovered well during your healing period etc.

What is better for you to pay a deposit through us is that you can also get Seoul Touchup package service arranged. It is all-in-one-step you can experience. The main services include hotel, airport pick-up and drop-off, transportation for all required check-ups, a private coordinator, after-care services, groceries etc.

Easy concept of deposit to a clinic

Despite of some of clients’ worries about paying deposit in advance, most of clients understand fairly well. It is because many other services are also using this deposit system such as Airbnb and even one-day surfing class. Having a plastic surgery can be one of the most important issues in your life, and has to be well-planned without any problem. By being said, there is no doubt about paying a deposit to make sure you save your surgery date well.

China Cosmetic Surgery Enthusiasts Reap Regret in South Korea

China Tourists Tops the Charts

It’s a bit of a shame when more than half of the country’s medical tourists are from China and yet there have been rising cases of the dissatisfied and dismayed. In 2013, more than 25,400 Chinese travelled to Seoul from China looking out to beautify themselves through Asia’s beauty haven with its cutting edge technology and preferred expertise. Some say it’s the appeal of Korean entertainment and music, with celebrities touting the next look, who could resist? Yet, among the district’s hundreds of clinics, not every single one of them is a safe bet. As much as advertisements around subways or buses have led you to believe, it’s a dangerous world in Gangnam street. Dangerous in the sense of there being too many options to choose from, leaving one to wonder who is really trustworthy? Advertisements boast beautiful jaws from jawline surgery and large, even eyes can be achieved in Seoul. Jaw surgery is no child’s play, with major complications extending all the way to permanent nerve damage. For those who had put less thought into it, it’s easy for them to be given the short end of the stick there.

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

so-young-park-before-after-ct-scan4 TYPES OF ATTITUDES CELEBRITIES HAVE TOWARDS PLASTIC SURGERY

In the past, getting cosmetic surgery was taboo and only discussed through hushed whispers amongst celebrities, it was a secretive and hidden thing. These days it’s easy to see that many Korean and other Asian celebrities alike have gotten some kind of cosmetic surgery work. Sometimes, it’s straight out confessed, other times its revealed by external sources, and there are also those that have obviously gotten something done but would never admit to it. These are the four types of attitudes that many celebrities may have: the unashamed embracement, the reluctant confession, the “What have I done to myself?” and the “What surgery work? I was born like this.” Here are examples of the above:

How A Burglar Used Korean Plastic Surgery For His Misdoings

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

burglar-plastic-surgery

This is probably a one in a million kind of incident to happen, but lately there has been news of a burglar who got away from his misdeeds through a rather peculiar method: Korean plastic surgery. You’d think that only hip and competitive youngsters would opt for surgery in today’s image-conscious Asia, but no! There are burglars who have decided to advance their careers, too! They, too, also desire to perfect their craft! The art of burglary now goes hand In hand with plastic surgery.
Reported by the Korea Herald, this burglar fellow claimed to have gotten surgery because he wanted to feel better about his shortness. So what did he do? Robbed people! A total of 87 incidents during April and December of last year. For most people, jawline surgery or osteogenesis (making bones lengthier) would cost an arm and a leg. Oh, but not this guy because he had all the money in the world to get those surgeries done. From his robberies, he had gained a total of $480,000 worth of goods.

If we look at this lovely chart that shows the average cost of Korean plastic surgery, this guy could’ve done jawline surgery for ninety-six times if he so felt like it!
