What should you ask before booking cosmetic surgery in Korea?
When contacting Santongsuai, provide front, side and 45-degree photos, previous surgery or injection history, medical conditions, current medication, your budget and possible travel dates. The team will shortlist partner hospitals by their areas of focus, submit your information for assessment and organize the responses for comparison.
Prepare these questions for the hospital to understand the surgical plan and aftercare. Ask for prices, terms and the schedule in writing so you can review them before deciding.
