Information about the best plastic surgery clinics in South Korea.

What is the cost of plastic surgery in a Korean clinic?

plastic surgery in Korea prices

Each private clinic in the Republic of Korea has its own price list for facial and body plastic surgery. For example, if a plastic surgery center is located in an upscale district of Seoul, the cost of services can be approximately 10–20% higher compared to a similar clinic in another part of the city. Often, hospitals do not publish prices on their official websites. Therefore, contacting Experts Medical allows international patients to find out exactly how much plastic surgery in Korea costs.

Examples of prices for popular procedures:

  • nose reshaping – from $4,500;
  • facelift – around $9,000;
  • breast augmentation – around $5,000;
  • tummy tuck – from $6,300.

Submit a request on this page to find out the prices of “All-Inclusive” package deals. This will allow you not only to undergo a high-quality transformation surgery but also to save money on transfers and accommodation.

 

What are the prices for treating aesthetic conditions in Seoul?

The cost level for plastic surgery in Korea is approximately 50% lower than in Europe and the United States. Residents of the USA, Canada, and Western Europe prefer to have plastic surgery in South Korea because of its financial accessibility and excellent service. Common issues such as alopecia (hair loss) or gynecomastia (enlargement of male breast tissue) can be permanently resolved at the following prices:

  • hair transplantation – from $2,400;
  • liposuction – from $2,000 to $8,500;
  • breast reshaping – up to $9,000.

 

What medical services do Korean clinics offer?

plastic surgery clinics in KoreaFor the convenience of international clients, Korean clinics practice a comprehensive approach. They usually offer package services, which, in addition to the surgery itself, include:

  • airport transfer and transportation to the clinic;
  • interpreter services to facilitate communication with the staff;
  • preoperative examination including a plastic surgeon’s consultation, blood tests, and 3D modeling of the future appearance;
  • anesthesia;
  • hospitalization (duration varies depending on the type of surgery);
  • postoperative care including check-ups, dressing changes, and suture removal;
  • hotel accommodation with an accompanying person during the treatment period.

Some plastic surgery clinics in Korea offer extended packages that may include additional procedures to speed up recovery. These are usually hardware-based and injection methods for rapid tissue regeneration. VIP service implies more comfortable living conditions and leisure arrangements.

 

What postoperative care does a Korean medical center provide?

After rhinoplasty, liposuction, mammoplasty, or any other surgery, patients in a Korean hospital can count on comprehensive postoperative care. Clinic staff carefully monitor the patient’s condition, controlling vital signs and pain levels. They provide high-quality medications, including painkillers and antibiotics to prevent infections.

Surgeons pay special attention to treating postoperative wounds and providing home care instructions. Cold compresses and special procedures may be used to reduce swelling and bruising. In the case of rhinoplasty, this may include nasal dressings and splints, while after mammoplasty – compression garments.

The doctor provides detailed information about possible complications and instructions for their prevention.

It is home to a huge number of clinics, beauty salons, and businesses related to the beauty industry. “Gangnam Style” is a global hit and a cultural phenomenon because the song drew attention to the lifestyle associated with the district where the plastic surgery industry thrives.
