Anti-aging surgery precautions

Preoperative Precautions

Check: What to prepare before Plastic Surgery

Post-operative Precautions

  1. Swelling and bruises will occur for 3 days after the surgery but they will gradually be subsided afterwards.
  2. Applying an ice-pack for 2-3 days will be helpful. However, in case of fat graft, applying ice-pack should be avoided. If ice compresses a fat grafted area, the area would possibly be sunken and the rate of fat engraftment would greatly decrease. However, it would be good if a fat grafted area is kept cool by rolling ice near the surgical area.
  3. Do not compress or massage on the surgical area. Especially in case of fat graft, this could decrease the engraftment rate or the fat might move to other position.
  4. Facial wash and make-up can be done on the next day of the surgery.
  5. Please do not voluntarily remove bandages or tapes from a surgical area until a nurse does it.
  6. Please avoid heavy exercises such as aerobics or gym workout for 4weeks. However, going for a walk is recommended.
  7. Shower can be done from the next day of the stitches removal, but please avoid sauna and hot spring for 4 weeks.
  8. Do not bend your head or lie face down.
  9. Supporting your head with large pillows can be helpful in reducing swelling or pain. Make sure your neck should not be bent on the pillows. Do not turn your neck sideways or lie face down, but try to sleep in straight position.

Who is a good candidate for anti-aging surgery?+
Suitability depends on your goals, anatomy and overall health rather than a single rule. A free MISOODA consultation reviews your case and advises whether anti-aging surgery or an alternative is the best fit, with a no-obligation quote within 24 hours.
How long do I need to stay in Korea for anti-aging surgery?+
Most international patients plan around 1-2 weeks in Korea so stitches can be removed and the surgeon can check healing before flying home; more extensive procedures may need longer. Your MISOODA case manager confirms the exact length for your plan and arranges every follow-up.
What's included in the price for anti-aging surgery?+
Your MISOODA quote is itemised and transparent. It typically covers the consultation, the procedure and surgeon's fee, and, depending on the clinic, pre-operative tests, anaesthesia and post-op follow-up. You pay the same price as Korean locals with no foreigner markup, and we tell you upfront what is and isn't included.
Can anti-aging surgery be combined with other procedures?+

No. The 10% VAT refund for foreign patients' cosmetic procedures ended on January 1, 2026, when Korea's 2016 tax provision expired. Pages still advertising a 7–10% airport refund are outdated.

Do I still pay VAT on cosmetic surgery in Korea?+
Yes — cosmetic procedures include 10% VAT in the quoted price, and since January 1, 2026 it is no longer refundable. Medically necessary treatment is VAT-exempt, so it never carried this tax. Always compare final all-in quotes; MISOODA quotes are itemised and final.
How can I save on plastic surgery in Korea now that the tax refund ended?+
Pay what locals pay. Some agencies' foreigner prices exceed local prices by far more than the old 6–8% refund ever returned. MISOODA guarantees the same price as Korean locals, a free interpreter and concierge, and an itemised quote within 24 hours. Tax-free shopping on goods like cosmetics still works as usual. Singapore residents: pay MISOODA Singapore directly and receive 5% cashback 30 days after your procedure.
