4) Do treatments come with a warranty or guarantee?

Short answer: Clinics use procedure-specific policies for early post-op issues.

More detail: Request the written policy for your treatment (what’s covered, time limits, touch-ups/revisions). Policies don’t replace insurance or promise a specific cosmetic result.

5) How many days should I plan in Seoul?

Short answer: Often 7–10 days for surgical cases; less for injectables.

More detail: Timelines vary with swelling, stitch removal and the surgeon’s “fit-to-fly” check—your coordinator will personalize this.

Short answer: Often yes—if medically safe within anesthesia time.

More detail: Common pairings include rhinoplasty + eyelids or facelift + fat grafting; your surgeon will stage steps to support recovery.

7) What’s the difference between alar reduction and tip plasty?

Short answer: Alar reduction narrows wide nostrils; tip plasty reshapes/refines the nasal tip.

More detail: They are frequently combined for balance; your plan depends on skin thickness and cartilage support.

8) Does the clinic help with logistics?

Short answer: Yes—Medical Departures helps with quotes, scheduling and directions.

More detail: Ask for airport timing guidance, nearby hotels and transport options that match your itinerary.
