Seoul Touchup review by Mr.N** on our services when he had planned to have rhinoplasty in Korea

Hi guys! I’d like to leave my review that I had with my Seoul Touchup Tour. This company seemed to be already popular as a medical agency, so I’d like to share my experience with Seoul Touchup Tourism. I was looking for rhinoplasty as well as tourism in Korea because I wanted to enjoy my days in Korea after the surgery. My friend who had plastic surgery recommended Seoul Touchup, and thankfully Seoul Touchup not only provides medical related services but also tour services!

My friend told me that I can easily find their website on Google. I contacted Seoul Touchup by filling up ‘Get Started’ form on the website, and their reply was very quick. They helped me to arrange my tour and accommodation. All I had to do was to buy my plane ticket and send them my flight details. Basically Seoul Touchup handled everything else for me! They booked me with Foreheal Hotel with breakfast included. This hotel is a 4-star hotel located in Gangnam of Seoul. It was a great stay for me because the location was very suitable for tourists and the room was cozy and clean. I was actually surprised that the price I was offered by Seoul Touchup was much cheaper than what was offered on other hotel booking websites.

Seoul TouchUp review by Mr.N** on our convenient and reliable service at plastic surgery clinic

It was my first time to visit Korea. When I had just arrived at the airport, I was a bit nervous about myself being alone in a foreign country. To my relief, as soon as I went out the gate, Seoul Touchup team was already waiting for me. They welcomed me with warm-heart, and quickly took me to the hotel. On the first day, I had consultation for my nose and got arranged for surgery day. Personally, it was the most stressful and anxious time for me because whether or not they are good, it is the surgery anyway. I couldn’t get rid of my thoughts on any bad outcomes. Without Seoul Touchup team who was with me during the consultation to explain all details and make me think positive, I could not have done any surgeries. I had a few days to get recovered after rhinoplasty and had a tour that Seoul Touchup arranged.

Seoul TouchUp's tour to attractive spots during his recovery period after rhinoplasty (Ssamziegil)

On the first day of my tour, Seoul Touchup team came to pick me up to my hotel to go Ssamziegil and The Garden of Morning Calm. Seoul Touchup took me to Ssamziegil. The area was full of interesting things such as artistic works, traditional products, craft workshops, restaurants, and more. There was so much to look around. I really liked the design of those traditional fans, and I bought one for a souvenir. After looking around the area for about an hour, we went into this restaurant for lunch. The restaurant looked very traditional. We had mixed rice with other side dishes. The food was great overall. Personally, I liked the taste of this soup called Doenjang Jjigae. They said it’s made with soybean. After our lunch, we moved on to The Garden of Morning Calm.

We went to Garden of Morning Calm in Gapyeong. Luckily, there wasn’t so much traffic, and it only took us about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Ssamziegil to the Garden. I was a bit tired from the tour, so I took a nap in the van. Thanks to Stephano, he is such a gentle driver! When I got there, the weather was so good. It was a perfect day for a tour around the garden. The garden was quite big. There were so many different kinds of flowers and trees. It felt like I was out of Korea because my first memory of Korea is Seoul, which is a modern and big city. I really liked the brick house in the garden. It was like one of the houses in fairy tales. I also liked the view of the pond. We spent about 2 hours in the garden before we moved on to get back to our hotel.

The members from Seoul Touchup were very kind and attentive, and they know where to guide me. I had such a quite beneficial time overall while I was focusing on recovery after surgery.

A Thing or Two on the Benefits of Medical Tourism in Korea

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Medical Tourism Korea

Brazil has long been equated with beautiful ladies, so it’s no wonder it is considered the international Mecca for cosmetic surgeries, all thanks to the clinic, Ivo Pitanguy. India is best known for its high quality cardiac and orthopedic operations, which are available at significantly lower costs.  Meanwhile, medical tourism in Korea is proving to be a rising star in the works. Recently, Russia also made a great buzz with its human Barbie, Valeria Lukyanova. No wonder countries have different reputations for themselves. Whatever they are known for, it helps them bring or lose a number of tourists.

Countries are now thinking of ways how they can advertise to potential visitors. The trend nowadays is to engage in medical tourism. Some may be totally unaware of what it is, and still some may have heard about it but have only a vague idea of how it works. If you are in either group, here is your guide on the global medical tourism.

Shedding a Light on Medical Tourism

Medical Tourism is the practice of pursuing and accepting medical services abroad, rather than choosing one that is available in your native land. The main reason why people do this is that it gives them another option for medical procedures, with lower costs. Today, Asia has earned the spotlight for medical tourism. One country undeniably gaining attention on medical travel is Korea, because of its high customer satisfaction brought about by their available cosmetic procedures.

The Perks of Medical Tourism

Your country can’t be the best at everything; there are some things that other places can do it better. That’s where Korea comes into play. If you want the best, then you should choose the ones that can give you the best amenities, and those that are of premium quality. All of these benefits are present in Korea. If you are looking for best plastic surgery clinics in Korea, check our Seoul TouchUp that offer free tour services and other special packages, like free assistance with booking hotels according to your preferences. In addition, flying to Korea for a medical procedure allows you to hit two birds with the same stone: you visit it for both vacation and surgery. Surgeries need a period of healing, and relaxing in a new place can help you heal faster, free from all the stresses you left behind. Korea has the best sights to offer, facilitating your speedy recovery.

The Snag of Medical Tourism

Unfortunately, medical tourism is not a foolproof idea. Flying to Korea may leave your pockets empty. However, that’s the beauty of medical tourism. It allows you to appreciate things beyond money matters. At the end of it, you will still be able to realize that it was money well spent. Procedures done in Korea are also more likely to be successful because of the modernity of their facilities and the specialized knowledge they have on this branch of science. Therefore, you are saving yourself from possible complications, and rescuing yourself from a deep pit of financial burden.

A Holistic Understanding of Medical Tourism

There are indeed many critics of Medical Tourism up to this date. They try to bring down this trending industry, but have not been successful in doing so. Surveys would tell you that individuals who get plastic surgery are aware of the many disadvantages of such practices. However, they have considered both sides of the coin, and have realized that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. That is why medical tourism in Korea is still a huge hit, because they continue to produce services that are recognized around the globe for their high success rates.

Reasons Why Korea is a Hit in Medical Tourism

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Medical Tourism Korea

Human nature dictates that we will never be satisfied with the way we look. We are the worst critics of ourselves. We note every little detail of our appearance, and name all those that we do not desire as our imperfections, and these imperfections hinder us from achieving self-esteem and confidence. According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, esteem is an important aspect in a man’s life. He needs to feel respected and accepted in order for him to earn self-respect. This problem has become the reason why plastic surgery is such a huge hit these days. The promise of a flat stomach, bustier chest, whiter skin complexion, and perfectly shaped buttocks never fails to entice almost  anyone.

Plastic Surgery Going Global

The plastic surgery industry today has achieved a different height in its career: it has gone global. This is one of the reasons why medical tourism is a booming trend nowadays . Many individuals who are thinking of going under the knife are opting to travel abroad to have the services done. Most people who are thinking of having a surgery done prefer Asian countries, since their developments in the field of medical technology are undeniably state of the art, not to mention the practitioners behind it are no less than top-notch professionals. Wouldn’t you feel safe to have your nip and tuck sessions with one of the best hospitals in the world?

Korea As a Plastic Surgery Hot Spot

Among the many Asian countries, the progress that Korea has made is worth noting. It has been rising fast since it opened its doors to plastic surgery. Plastic surgery in Korea statistics would reveal to you that there has been an increase in the number of tourists coming in to Korea who wish to have a body-enhancing surgery done. Korea took care of 3.8% of the total number of surgery operations worldwide in 2010. Today, that number is expected to grow even more. Plastic surgery in Korea never looked better. Satisfaction is surely guaranteed in Korea, because of its ultramodern medical clinics and facilities, more than qualified plastic surgeons, and even its advanced knowledge when it comes to medicine. Koreans are probably the most looked up to when it comes to beauty. That is why it is best to trust them; they have mastered the science of achieving good looks.

Trust the Best: Trust Korea

Although plastic surgery remains a controversial topic up to this date, many are slowly accepting the concept, and are considering getting a procedure done. However, one should remember the many risks attached to it. By choosing reliable practitioners, you limit yourself from such risks. Choose one from Korea and you will surely earn that self-value you have long aspired for. Pack the necessary Korea travel essentials, and be ready for that life-changing operation in Korea that you will never regret.
