Some clinics offer to arrange transportation to the airport to pick you up, and can also book accommodation near the clinic for you to recover in a quiet and comfortable environment.
You don't have to worry about all the difficulties you might encounter if you go to Korea alone for plastic surgery.
After the surgery, you will need to stay in Korea for up to half a month. If you are unsure and want to stay longer, you can do so. Even though you are more worried about the length of your stay in Korea, it is important to look carefully for a good plastic surgery clinic.
