Best month/season to go get surgery in Seoul

[Nala]

I was wondering what is everyone’s opinion on the best/ideal time to go get plastic surgery for foreigners coming into Seoul?

I know that most Western countries have their summers off July – September which is where I have met other users.

Is anyone familiar when clinics do ‘specials’ or the clinics themselves are not too busy and are able to better accommodate a stricter time limit? When do locals do surgery? Is there a preferred month/season?

@Nala great question.

• Busy (Winter): November to Feb – Surgery slots fill up fast, not as flexible as other seasons
• Slow: March to May – Better Availability and pricing can be more flexible
• Steady: June to October  – Better Availability and pricing can be more flexible

Best weather: April, May, August, September

Some Korean holiday breaks are also very busy. These are typically a week off of work, so all the locals like to stack their procedures around this time.

• Korean New Year – Seolnal
• Korean Thanksgiving – Chuseok

Since they follow a lunar calendar the dates change every year check out the table below:

Try to avoid consultation and surgery dates around this time:

	Korean New Year 3 to 4 days		Thanks Giving 3 to 4 days
2018	February 16 (Fri)		September 24 (Mon)
2019	February 5 (Tue)		September 13 (Fri)
2020	January 25 (Sat)		October 1 (Thu)
2021	February 12 (Fri)		September 21 (Tue)
2022	February 1 (Tue)		September 10 (Sat)
2023	January 22 (Sun)		September 29 (Fri)
2024	February 10 (Sat)		September 17 (Tue)
2025	January 29 (Wed)		October 6 (Mon)
2026	February 17 (Tue)		September 25 (Fri)
2027	February 7 (Sun)		September 15 (Wed)
2028	January 27 (Thu)		October 3 (Tue)
