Are Consultations Available Online Before I Fly to Korea?
Yes—many plastic surgery and dermatology clinics in Korea offer online consultations for international patients. If you’re planning to travel for a facelift, thread lift, or any other cosmetic procedure, having a virtual consultation before your trip can help you feel confident and well-prepared.
Why Online Consultations Matter
Flying to Korea for a procedure is a big decision. An online consultation helps you:
- Discuss your goals and expectations with the surgeon
- Get a price estimate and timeline before committing
- Plan your travel dates around surgery and recovery
- Ask questions about safety, anesthesia, and procedure options
- Review before-and-after photos of past patients
Most importantly, it builds trust and helps you feel more comfortable with your clinic choice before you arrive.
How Online Consultations Work
Korean clinics typically offer virtual consultations via:
- Zoom or Google Meet (with a coordinator present)
- KakaoTalk or WhatsApp (for messaging and photo sharing)
- Email forms (to submit medical history and photos)
The process usually involves:
- Submitting your facial photos and concerns
- Filling out a brief medical questionnaire
- Receiving a customized treatment plan, cost estimate, and recovery guide
- Scheduling your in-person visit in Korea if you wish to proceed
Some clinics also provide real-time translator support during video calls.
What to Prepare Before the Consultation
- Clear photos of your face and neck (front, both sides, and tilted down/up)
- A list of past surgeries, allergies, or health conditions
- Questions about the procedure, surgeon credentials, and downtime
- Your ideal travel dates, if already planned
