Cost guide
No price list, because there is no single price. A guide to what moves a Korean plastic surgery quote and how to budget the whole trip.
Search results promise price lists, but a responsible answer is that costs depend on the procedure, the technique the surgeon recommends, the anaesthesia, the facility and what follow-up is included. This guide explains those factors and how to budget the trip around them, so the quotes you receive make sense.
The procedure and technique, the surgeon's experience and demand, whether revision surgery is involved, and the complexity of your case after assessment. Two surgeons can recommend different approaches to the same goal at different prices.
General or local anaesthesia, an anaesthesiologist's involvement, operating room time, implants or grafts and consumables all appear as separate lines in a complete estimate.
Included check-ups, remote follow-up after you leave, and revision terms differ between clinics and change the real cost. A cheaper quote with no revision policy is a different product.
Deposits secure surgery dates; confirm refund conditions. Ask about accepted cards, currency fees and whether tax is included. Ask the clinic whether any tax refund arrangement applies to international patients.
Flights, accommodation for recovery days, a companion's costs, transport, recovery products and a contingency for a longer stay sit outside the clinic estimate. Concierge coordination is quoted separately and stated before work begins.
Consultation and assessment come first; a meaningful figure needs the surgeon's recommendation.
We collect written, itemized estimates and align them line by line.
You budget travel and recovery around the clinic's plan, with a contingency.
Deposits are paid only after terms are confirmed in writing.
Patient questions
These answers are coordination guidance, not medical advice. Final treatment decisions should be confirmed directly with the treating provider.
It depends on the procedure, technique, surgeon, anaesthesia, facility and follow-up. A credible figure comes from a surgeon's assessment and a written itemized estimate, not from a price list.
For some procedures and some patients, once travel and recovery are included; for others, not. Compare complete estimates including travel rather than headline figures.
Many clinics give a preliminary range after a remote consultation with photos. The figure is confirmed only after in-person assessment.
Usually not hidden, but often omitted: anaesthesia, consumables, follow-up, revision and tax. Ask for each line explicitly.
