Upper arm liposuction in Republic of Korea: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Republic of Korea
  • You arrive at the airport in the Republic of Korea. Proceed through customs with your passport ready for checks.
  • You should check into your pre-booked accommodation. Choose a place near the clinic for convenience.
  • Rest and acclimate to the local time zone. This ensures you are well-rested for the upcoming consultation and procedure.
  • Prepare all necessary documents and confirmation details for your surgery appointment.
Day 2: Pre-Operative Consultation
  • You attend your scheduled in-person consultation at the clinic. The surgeon will review your case and confirm the details of your upper arm liposuction.
  • Discuss any concerns or questions with the surgeon. Be open to adjustments as recommendations may change during this consultation.
  • If general anesthesia is preferred, you will undergo pre-operative tests. These may include blood tests or other assessments to ensure you are fit for surgery.
  • Confirm the final surgery date and time. A deposit of 10% of the total surgery fee is typically required to secure your slot.
  • Receive instructions on pre-surgery preparations, such as dietary restrictions or medications to avoid.
Day 3: Surgery Day
  • You arrive at the clinic at the designated time. Bring your passport for identification and any required paperwork.
  • The procedure involves making small incisions near the elbow to remove excess fat. These incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
  • Post-surgery, expect some bruising and swelling in the treated area. A compressed garment will be provided, which you must wear for 1-2 months as advised by the doctor.
  • Arrange for an overnight caregiver if general anesthesia was used. This is often recommended for safety and comfort.
Day 4-7: Post-Operative Care and Recovery
  • You attend follow-up appointments for post-operative care. These visits help monitor your recovery and address any complications.
  • Stitches are typically removed after 7 days, depending on the healing progress.
  • Continue wearing the compressed garment as instructed to aid in healing and to help shape the treated area.
  • Engage in light activities but avoid strenuous exercises or lifting heavy objects. This prevents strain on the surgical site.
  • Contact the clinic if you experience unusual symptoms or have concerns about your recovery.
Day 8: Preparing to Return Home
  • Ensure all post-operative instructions are clear. Make sure you have enough prescribed medications for your journey home.
  • Visit the clinic for a final check-up to ensure everything is healing appropriately.
  • Collect any necessary documents or certifications for post-surgery care back in your home country.
  • Plan your travel back, accounting for any mobility limitations due to the recent surgery.
  • Keep the clinic’s contact information handy for any follow-up questions or concerns once you return home.
Day 9: Return Home
  • You travel back to your home country. Ensure you follow any travel guidelines or restrictions.
  • Continue to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon for optimal recovery.
  • Schedule follow-up appointments with a local healthcare provider if necessary to monitor your progress.
  • Stay in touch with the clinic in the Republic of Korea if you have any questions or require additional guidance during your recovery.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The experience for me, in general, was excellent, I would go back to the Dr
I was very pleased with the attention I received from the first day I arrived at the clinic. The interpreter was able to communicate perfectly to the surgeon what I wanted to be done and what my expectations were. I loved the hospitality of the Medical Team, all very attentive, very concerned about whether I was feeling well or not, reminding me of my check-ups, cleaning, suture removal, giving me all the information for the post-operative period, giving me light and oxygen therapy sessions to improve and accelerate the results of my recovery. The clinic is located in a very central place in Gangnam, it is easy to get there. It is very close to the flat that the clinic provides during your stay until the first check-up. The clinic is spacious, well-lit, very clean, with flexible opening hours for post-operative care. The real estate is very comfortable, they have coffee and tea so that you can help yourself. And, they don't keep you waiting. Everything works as scheduled. And, additionally, they provided me with help on how to get around the city, how to get to the tourist attractions, to the shops where they sell skin care products, etc. The experience for me, in general, was excellent, I would go back to the Dr. and I recommend him 100% to those people who are looking for a good clinic where they can have surgery with the full confidence that everything will go very well.
I loved that the Dr. was very patient in understanding exactly what I wanted, thanks to the interpreter I was able to make the Dr. understand everything perfectly. I also liked very much the attention of the medical team that continued to see me the days after the surgery and the warmth and kindness of each one of them. As well as giving me all the instructions I had to follow, they gave me the creams I had to use so that the swelling and bruising would disappear more quickly.
I have nothing to complain about the Clinic, the Dr., the medical team, the interpreter and the care I received before, during and after my surgery. I just think that I should have stayed longer in South Korea to get to see more beautiful places.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed made it easy for me to have a person who speaks my language to assist me whenever I had questions about the different alternatives of plastic surgery clinics that I could ask to evaluate me and give me a quote. When I had already decided on the clinic I wanted to go to, the person who assisted me very kindly answered all the questions I had after I had made my choice. She sent me all the information I asked for about the clinic, the background of the Dr. who was going to operate on me, health permits, health registration of the Dr., validity of his professional title, etc. Everything I needed to make sure I made a very informed decision and knew everything about the clinic, the Dr, the place where I would be operated on, where the clinic was located, where I would be staying from the day of the surgery until a week later and, obviously, how much I was going to be charged. There was only one difference with respect to the initial budget, but it was because once I was in the clinic I added a part of my face that had not been contemplated before. But even so, the final price did not increase too much compared to what I was charged at other clinics in South Korea.
