Planning your stay after facial liposuction in Seoul
Same-day return or a few nights in Gangnam? How to plan accommodation, aftercare visits and the flight home around facial liposuction and thread lifts in Seoul.
How long to stay depends on what you have done and how you feel, not on a fixed rule. Here is how to plan around the aftercare schedule at Target Plastic Surgery.
Option 1: same-day return
Facial liposuction at Target is performed without stitches so that patients who arrive and leave on the same day can be treated. If you plan this, tell the clinic your flight times when you book; the surgeon decides whether it is appropriate after examining you. Expect to travel with a compression face band.
Option 2: one to three nights nearby
Staying a little longer lets you return for OMEGA light (LED) care in the first three days, and gives swelling time to begin settling before you fly. Choose somewhere close to Sinsa Station so the trip to the clinic is short.
What to look for in a place to stay
- A short subway or taxi ride to Sinsa Station
- A quiet room where you can rest with your head raised
- Easy access to soft food and drinks
- Flexible check-out on the day you fly
The aftercare schedule
- Day of surgeryFace band and swelling injection.
- Days 1–3One OMEGA light session.
- One monthOne radio-frequency massage session — if you are back in Seoul, or discuss alternatives with the clinic.
Before you fly
- Ask for a medical certificate if you may need one at the airport.
- Keep the aftercare kit (face band, dressing tape, ice pack) in your hand luggage.
- Follow the written instructions you are given about washing, make-up and activity.
