Short-Trip Plastic Surgery Korea: DOY JUN Hours & Recovery

In short: DOY JUN Plastic Surgery is open Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 10:00–17:00 (no lunch break), and closed on Sundays. The website says double eyelid stitches come out after about 3–5 days with 2–3 follow-up visits, and liposuction recovery is about 1 week for the face, abdomen and thighs and about 3 weeks for the arms. Your actual stay is decided after the doctor's examination, so do not lock in your flight yet.

Leave days are limited: start from the hospital's closed days

The question office workers most often have about plastic surgery in Korea is not the price but "how many days of leave do I need?" The answer comes only after the doctor's examination, but the opening hours and the recovery information on the website are enough to sketch a first schedule.

This article uses the information DOY JUN Plastic Surgery publishes to explain how to plan a steadier schedule.

Opening hours: closed Sundays, Saturdays until 5 pm

• Monday to Friday: 10:00–19:00, no lunch break.
• Saturday: 10:00–17:00, no lunch break.
• Sunday: closed.

There are two advantages for working people: weekdays run until 7 pm, so you can land after work and visit for a consultation the next morning; and Saturday is open, so you do not have to take weekday leave.

But remember that the hospital is closed on Sundays; if stitch removal or a follow-up falls on a Sunday, it needs to be coordinated with the hospital.

Recovery times on the website differ by surgery

The hospital's general explanation is below; your actual stay, stitch-removal and follow-up schedule are decided by the doctor after the examination:

• Natural-adhesion double eyelid: surgery takes about 30 minutes, stitches out after 3–5 days, recovery about 3 days to 1 week, 2–3 follow-up visits.
• Incisional double eyelid: surgery takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, stitches out after 3–5 days, recovery about 1–2 weeks, 2–3 follow-up visits.
• Rhinoplasty: light daily activity is possible the day after surgery; obvious swelling fades in about 1–2 weeks and residual swelling lasts about 1–3 months.
• Liposuction: recovery is about 1 week for the face, abdomen, thighs and back, and about 3 weeks for the arms.

The website does not list recovery for lifting or fat grafting, so please confirm at the consultation.

Four steps of a short trip

The website divides a surgery trip into four stages, and you can think about your schedule in the same order:

• Consultation and examination: meet the doctor to confirm the surgical method, anesthesia and cost.
• Surgery: local, sleep or general anesthesia depending on the procedure.
• Post-op follow-up: for double eyelid, stitches out after about 3–5 days with 2–3 visits; other surgeries as the doctor directs.
• Before you fly home: how many days you need to stay is decided by the doctor based on the procedure and your recovery.

In other words, your return date is the last thing to be fixed, so choose a changeable ticket.

For nose surgery, lifestyle matters beyond the trip

The website recommends at least 3–4 weeks without smoking or alcohol after rhinoplasty. This does not end within the few days you are in Korea; it continues after you go home.

Before surgery, please also tell the hospital about any medication you take (especially blood thinners) and your past surgical history.

Before you leave, do these three things

• Choose a changeable ticket: your length of stay is set only after the doctor's examination, and a flight booked too early is likely to need rebooking.
• Tell us your leave days: so we can judge which surgeries fit your schedule and which to leave for the next trip.
• Confirm the follow-up day: if stitch removal falls on a closed Sunday, ask the hospital to move it earlier or later.

At DOY JUN the same attending surgeon handles you from consultation and surgery through recovery, and a dedicated team helps with pain, swelling and scar care after surgery, so you can ask about the details before leaving the country in one go.

If your leave is really short, you can arrange only a consultation first, let the doctor tell you how many days you need, and then decide whether to do surgery this time and which one.
