Indeed, I would ask Jessie (and Dr Kim through her) about the combination. They can do it, but he does not like to do it if it can be avoided as a trach shave is not so great for the voice procedure. Part of the voice surgery is that the vocal folds ate a bit tightened by the formation of the scars, that puts a bit of a strain on the cartilage and if that is weakened by a trach shave it could diminish the gain from the voice procedure.
The best way to get from the airport to the city is either take the subway/train, it goes directly into the airport. Or take an airport bus which drops you off in the city, there are several routes, I dont know which one will have stops close to the hotel, best to ask the hotel which is the best way to get to them.
Choose whatever hotel suits you. Yeson recommend one based mainly because it is rather ok (people have said it is not great but also not bad), not insanely expensive and most importantly it is like 10 minutes from the clinic by foot. I would go for what you feel is most important for you - being close to the clinic in gangnam, or find a hotel that has better accomodation or is in an area that you like more - seriously getting around in Seoul is not hard - either take a subway or a taxi which is not too expensive.
Language - well you cannot speak anyways after the surgery

- Jessie will give you some pieces of paper with important sentences in english and korean on it, and some people will be able to read english - apparently they can read it better than listening to it anyways, which is convenient for a temporary mute. So either get a notebook or a smartphone and type-and-show in english and in many places it will work out. Hotels will have english speaking receptionists if they are decent. In restaurants you can also just point - or take a photo of the food from their menu and then show it to them. I still do that since - well - you still ar ein the same situation when you get home and cannot talk and order food, so I still do photos and show them... still I think it can help to bring someone, just in case something happens that is too complicated to solve by these means. But I think it can be managed well without a company. Make sure that the hotel air conditioning is not bothering you - you dont want a dry throat or signs of a cold at any time.
