Seoul TouchUp Now On Bloomberg

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in TouchUp Updates

South Korea is one of Asia's hot spots for beauty and medical travel purposes. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Surgery, a total of 649,938 procedures was performed in 2011, and that is 13 procedures for every 1,000 people. Year by year, it is becoming a known fact that the Gangnam-style nip and tuck draws tourists to Seoul's beauty belt.

As quoted from a recent article on Bloomberg,

"Plastic surgery trips cost a minimum 15 million won ($14,000), according to Lee Joon, marketing director at Seoul TouchUp, a travel agency that books hospitals, accommodation and sightseeing trips in all-inclusive packages."

 and as quoted from a tourist, again from the recent Bloomberg article:

"The travel and surgeries altogether cost about the same as Australia and more than Thailand, which he considered before settling on South Korea on the advice of a friend, he said, without giving details."
