Tummy Tuck and Liposuction in Republic of Korea: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Republic of Korea

Upon arrival, ensure you have your passport and all necessary documents for your tummy tuck and liposuction procedures.
You should arrange transportation from the airport to your accommodation for a smooth transition.
Rest and hydrate to recover from your flight. Your body needs to be in optimal condition for the upcoming surgery.
Confirm your consultation appointment with the clinic. Ensure you have the correct address and time.

Day 2: Pre-Operative Consultation and Preparation

Attend your scheduled consultation at the clinic. The doctor will evaluate your condition and confirm the specifics of your procedures.
The doctor may recommend losing additional weight for optimal results. Reducing body fat can enhance the surgical outcome.
You will undergo preoperative laboratory tests, including blood work and a physical examination, to ensure you are fit for surgery.
Discuss anesthesia options with the anesthesiologist. Tummy tuck and liposuction are usually performed under general anesthesia.
Receive instructions on pre-surgery care, including fasting and avoiding certain medications that increase bleeding risk.

Day 3: Surgery Day

Arrive at the clinic early to prepare for your tummy tuck and liposuction procedures.
Ensure you have arranged for a caregiver if required, especially if your procedure involves hospitalization.
Undergo the combined procedure, which involves liposuction to remove excess fat and abdominoplasty to address saggy skin and muscle stretching.
Expect a long horizontal incision under the waistline, which will be sutured to create a smooth stomach.
Post-surgery, a nursing team will monitor you with 24-hour care to ensure a safe recovery.

Day 4: Post-Operative Care

Stay overnight at the clinic if required, as some clinics recommend monitoring post-surgery complications.
Begin wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your abdomen as it heals. This is typically required for 1-2 months.
Take prescribed medications, including antibiotics, to prevent infection and manage pain.
Follow dietary recommendations and stay hydrated to aid in recovery.

Days 5-10: Recovery Period

Attend follow-up appointments for wound checks and to monitor your recovery progress.
Avoid strenuous activities and follow the doctor's advice on movement and exercise. Gentle walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
Continue wearing your compression garment as instructed.
Report any unusual symptoms to the clinic immediately, such as excessive swelling or pain.

Day 11: Stitch Removal and Final Check-up

Return to the clinic for stitch removal, typically done 7-10 days post-surgery depending on your healing progress.
The doctor will assess the surgical site and provide further instructions for home care.
Discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your recovery or long-term care.

Days 12-14: Final Preparations Before Departure

Continue with any remaining follow-up appointments to ensure you are healing properly.
Prepare for your return home by ensuring you have all necessary medications and post-operative care instructions.
Arrange transportation to the airport, ensuring you have ample time to accommodate any mobility limitations.
Keep in contact with the clinic for any post-travel concerns or questions.

Day 15: Departure from Republic of Korea

The competence, careful attitude and attention to every little detail is what I really liked

I would like to thank my doctor for his careful attention to my difficult situation. The competence, careful attitude and attention to every little detail is what I really liked. Now I am still recovering and the final result is still far away, but I believe that everything will be fine. I would like to mention my coordinator-translator Jena. She is a very nice girl who helped me during my stay. Kind, nice, responsible and competent. She made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much to the doctor, Jena and the clinic staff for everything. I will definitely recommend to my friends.

I would highly recommend this clinic for its quality service and professionalism

I am very pleased with my choice of this clinic. From the very beginning the communication with the clinic staff was fast and of high quality. I chose from 3 clinics. It was in this clinic that I got the best price and quality service before and after the procedure. I had a second rhinoplasty. The doctor did just a jewellery work with my nose. Very carefully, without much interference, he corrected the flaws from the first surgery I had a couple of years ago in Turkey. I am very happy with the result. My nose is now straight and neat. I was also very pleased with the service at the clinic after the operation. I had all the necessary procedures to reduce the swelling immediately after the operation and then during the week I still came a couple of times for procedures, so the recovery took literally a week. Special thanks to the assistant Joan. She was always in touch and very supportive throughout my stay in Korea. I would highly recommend this clinic for its quality service and professionalism.

the translator Joanne was excellent and very attentive

t was a great experience, the doctor was good, but could have been more attentive. The staff are a little curt when it comes to customer service, but the translator Joanne was excellent and very attentive, there was also a very friendly older nurse. And there were also free therapeutic treatments that I really liked. Now I need to wait for the results to give a real assessment of whether the treatment was really good.

By far the most attentive care I have EVER gotten in medicine—again, thanks especially to Joanne, who even walked me back to my hotel across the street post-op

One would fear that flying to a foreign country where you don’t know the language would be stressful and scary. Not only did the staff (Joanne <3!) make that all a cakewalk, the clinic’s aftercare was top notch, they really went above and beyond for me. And I am NOT an easy patient—I need to know every chemical in the anesthesia, I negotiate different antibiotics, make them go over my 21 daily supplements, etc—I kept them BUSY and was shown nothing but continual grace and warmth, and was always responded to promptly. By far the most attentive care I have EVER gotten in medicine—again, thanks especially to Joanne, who even walked me back to my hotel across the street post op. As for the surgery outcome, I didn’t even need a Tylenol it was that painless, I was able to walk around and enjoy Seoul every day after my mini lift, and although I’m still swollen at just under two weeks out, I already look ten years younger and am loving what I’m seeing. Dr. Park knows what he is doing, he’s done 3000+ facelifts (yes I asked), he has superb attention to detail, a true artist’s hand, and is a friendly and gentlemanly doctor!

I’m so touched by their attitude and thoughtfulness, especially after my surgery

All medical staff and the doctor were wonderful throughout my treatment journey. Nurses were very kind, attentive and very thoughtful. I’m so touched by their attitude and thoughtfulness, especially after my surgery. Nurse Joanne and Nurse Jenny accompanied me back to the hotel, bought necessities for me and even gave me an umbrella because it was going to be a rainy weekend. Kept in touch with me even in the weekend to check up on me. Thank you!

I give Saero Plastic Surgery a 5 because they exceeded my expectations

Dr. Pak is very knowledgeable and professional. It has been over a week sonce my surgery and see.s that everything is healing well. He prescribed a pack of antibiotics and pain killers for me to take for 5 days. The medication worked great because I was at a very minimal pain. His staff walked me through everything I needed from the US to Korea. I felt confident that I was in good hands and I was. The interpreter did a great good Interpreting everything I needed to ask the doctor and addressed all my concerns. I give Saero Plastic Surgery a 5 because they exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids

The medical team members are so friendly and helpful. Although I speak zero Korean, I can sense their passion and empathy, which dramatically reduced my anxiety to go through the surgery. They are very supportive from the right beginning to the end when I left Seoul. And big thanks to the assistance from Yena, who provides detailed before and after care instructions rather than just working as an interpreter. Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids. They look much younger and alert.
