Why Get Plastic Surgery in Korea? What You Need to Know
Plastic Surgery Is a Big Decision
Especially for patients getting plastic surgery in Korea
Undergoing plastic surgery in Korea is a significant step that requires courage and thoughtful consideration.
We understand that deciding to have surgery abroad can feel even more daunting. At VIP Plastic Surgery Clinic, we strive to make this journey seamless and stress-free. Our professional interpreters, fluent in Chinese, English, and Indonesian, ensure smooth communication throughout your experience.
For added convenience, we also have an in-house English-speaking U.S. pharmacist to provide expert guidance and answer any medical questions. Our in-house pharmacist will assist surgeons in streamlining your medical experiences, including the medication transition process, home medication guide, and post-operation guide.
We understand that international patients may not visit our clinic just for the consultation and therefore, our clinic offers a free online consultation before your visit. Through a photo consultation via WhatsApp, you can communicate with our doctors and convey your needs. Once you visit our clinic for procedures and surgeries, our doctors can provide you with an in-depth consultation and create a comprehensive and customized plan for you. If you are planning to have plastic surgery in Korea, make sure to use our free online consultation service, so you know what to expect.
International Patient-Friendly Services
To help you feel at ease, we offer clean, comfortable accommodations in the same building as our clinic. This eliminates the hassle of traveling between rooms and appointments, making your recovery process even more convenient.
At VIP Plastic Surgery, our team does not stop providing your post-operation care and services even after your surgery is completed.
- Post-Operative Care: Starting the day after surgery, we provide wound care dressing in our clinic, which is just an elevator ride away. Your post-operative care will be provided by our board-certified plastic surgeons and our medical nurses.
- Direct Access to Dr. Lee: You may have had difficult experiences seeing your surgeon daily. At VIP, our chief surgeon Dr.Myung Ju Lee will closely monitor your recovery process to ensure a successful result. (The number of dressing schedules with Dr. Lee may vary depending on the type of surgery.)
- Exclusive Recovery Treatments: For our patients who require an extensive recovery phase after major surgeries such as facelift and rhinoplasty, we offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy to reduce swelling and speed up healing. Additionally, we provide daily swelling and skincare facials until the day of your departure. Many of our patients find their skin significantly improved and develop a newfound interest in Korean skincare during their stay.
- Private Chef and Private Driver: Our private chef will create healthy meals for our patients every day. If you have a specific diet you prefer such as Halal or plant-based diet, our chef can provide you with such meals in our café. Moreover, our dedicated driver will be readily accessible for your airport pick-up services or tour in Jeju.
Isn’t it amazing that you can stay, recover, and rejuvenate your skin—all within the same building and without communication barriers?
