Quick Intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong is an English-friendly internal-medicine clinic in Gangnam offering same-day IV therapy with doctor oversight. We’re on the 3rd floor of Beneheim City, 162 Apgujeong-ro, a short walk from Apgujeong Station (Exit 5).

What Is a “Post-Procedure Support IV”?

A clinic-supervised IV designed to rehydrate and offer adjunctive support in the days after minor procedures (e.g., outpatient dental, dermatologic, or cosmetic treatments) when oral intake is poor or you feel run-down. After a brief medical check, your physician tailors the plan.

Typical components (case-by-case):

  • Balanced IV fluids + electrolytes (rehydration)
  • Adjunct nutrients such as B-vitamins/minerals when appropriate
  • Symptom-targeted meds (e.g., anti-nausea) only if clinically indicated and compatible with your surgeon’s instructions
This service does not replace your surgeon’s post-op plan. We follow your discharge instructions and avoid any agents that conflict with restrictions.

Who It May Help

  • Low appetite, nausea, or dehydration after sedation or pain medicines
  • Travelers recovering from procedures while in Seoul
  • Busy schedules needing English-friendly, supportive care in central Gangnam

Bring These for the Visit

  • Surgeon or clinic discharge sheet and any special restrictions
  • Medication & allergy list (pain meds, antibiotics, supplements)
  • Photo ID (passport if visiting)
  • Symptom timeline (procedure date, current concerns)

Safety First (When to Seek Urgent Care Instead)

Go to an emergency department for heavy bleeding, fever with chills, worsening severe pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, persistent vomiting, new weakness/numbness, or signs of wound infection (rapidly increasing redness/swelling, pus). If you were told to return to your surgeon urgently, follow that plan.

Visit Flow (Typically 60–90 Minutes)

  1. Check-in & history → procedure details, meds, allergies, symptoms.
  2. Focused exam → vitals; point-of-care tests if needed.
  3. Plan & consent → candidacy confirmed, IV components selected, transparent pricing reviewed.
  4. IV session → 30–60 minutes in a comfortable room with monitoring.
  5. Discharge guidance → simple after-care in clear English; follow-up and referrals if appropriate.

After-Care Tips

  • Hydrate through the day (water or oral rehydration).
  • Eat light, balanced meals (protein + complex carbs + produce).
  • Rest; keep incision care exactly as instructed by your surgeon.
  • Medication timing: take antibiotics/pain meds as prescribed; ask us if unsure about interactions.
  • Follow up with your procedure clinic as scheduled.

Important Precautions & Interactions

Tell the doctor if you have kidney, heart, or liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, G6PD deficiency, a history of blood clots, or you take anticoagulants/diuretics. We do not provide medications that conflict with common post-op restrictions; when in doubt, we defer to your surgeon’s plan.

Common mild effects: brief chill/flush, metallic taste, small bruise at the IV site. Seek care for persistent dizziness, chest pain, or trouble breathing.

FAQs

Is this a substitute for my surgeon’s after-care?
No. It’s supportive. Always follow your surgeon’s instructions first.

Can I receive an IV the day after my procedure?
Often yes—if you’re a candidate and your surgeon has no restrictions that would conflict. Bring your discharge sheet.

Will this reduce swelling or bruising?
Hydration may help comfort, but swelling/bruising follow your procedure’s natural course. We’ll advise safe measures per your surgeon’s plan.

Can I get anti-nausea medicine with the IV?
Sometimes—only if clinically appropriate and compatible with your post-op meds.

Any downtime after the IV?
Most people resume normal, light activity. If you feel woozy, rest and avoid driving.
