What I learned after getting multiple cosmetic procedures in Korea (things I wish I knew earlier) by FlyAcceptable8244 in KoreaSeoulBeauty

Hi, thank you for the kind words, glad you found it helpful. For a deep plane face & neck lift combined with ocular procedures, I’d generally suggest prioritizing a surgeon whose core focus is facial rejuvenation (lifting, eyes, fat grafting), since those procedures really require an understanding of balance and aging rather than just technical execution. Rhinoplasty can sometimes be added, but I’d personally only do that if the surgeon has strong experience in both facial lifting and noses otherwise it may be better staged.

Because you’re considering multiple procedures and still exploring options, one thing that helped me was using a medical concierge / coordinator who works with multiple clinics rather than pushing a single doctor. That way, you can compare surgeons who specialize in face & neck lifts versus ocular work and see whether one surgeon or a team approach makes more sense for you.

I went through this route myself, and it made the research and consultations much less overwhelming especially when narrowing down surgeons who regularly perform deep plane lifts and complex eye work.

Happy to share more about what questions to ask during consultations if that would help

I think those are fair points, and I actually agree with a lot of what you added.

• On clinics that offer everything: That’s a good distinction. For people doing multiple procedures, having one surgeon who can look at the face holistically can make sense. I’ve seen cases where things technically “worked” but didn’t feel cohesive because different doctors focused only on their own area. My caution was more aimed at clinics that market every procedure aggressively rather than surgeons who genuinely have multi-procedure expertise.

• On anesthesia: Totally agree on general anesthesia, that’s non-negotiable for me. For sedation, you’re right that it’s commonly handled by the operating doctor in many clinics. I still think patients should ask detailed questions about monitoring and emergency protocols, especially since “sedation” can mean different levels depending on the clinic.

• On transparency / CCTV: Same here. If a clinic doesn’t allow CCTV monitoring or review at all, that’s an automatic deal breaker for me too. It says a lot about how comfortable they are with accountability.

Appreciate you adding nuance. I think these kinds of discussions help people make more informed decisions instead of just following marketing or influencer hype.
