Discover Your
Doctor in Korea

Simply reach out via WhatsApp or fill out our consultation form. Our team will schedule a free video call to understand your goals and suggest suitable partner clinics. The clinic's doctor then evaluates you and recommends treatment options.

We consider your treatment goals, preferences, schedule and budget to suggest suitable partner clinics and specialist doctors. Any health information you share is passed to the clinic, whose doctor evaluates you and recommends treatment.

The duration varies by treatment. Skin care procedures typically require 3-5 days, while surgical procedures may need 1-2 weeks for proper recovery before flying home.

Yes! We provide 24/7 multilingual support in English, Chinese, Arabic, and Japanese throughout your entire journey.

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available via WhatsApp for any questions. For surgical patients, we arrange follow-up video consultations with your doctor.

Our partner clinics are licensed medical institutions registered to treat international patients. All medical procedures carry risks; your treating surgeon will explain the risks, possible complications and recovery before you decide.

Indicative price ranges at Korean partner clinics: Rhinoplasty: $3,000-$8,000 (vs $8,000-$15,000 in USA). Face contouring: $5,000-$15,000 (vs $15,000-$30,000). Double eyelid surgery: $1,500-$4,000. Facelift: $5,000-$12,000. Actual costs depend on the clinic, the surgeon and the surgical scope. MyDoc Korea provides itemised quotes before you travel; the clinic confirms the final price after your consultation.

Safety depends on the procedure, your health and the surgeon who treats you. Plastic surgery in Korea is performed at licensed medical institutions, and clinics that treat international patients must be registered for that purpose. All surgery carries risks, including complications and results that differ from what you expected; your treating surgeon explains the risks, alternatives and recovery before you decide. MyDoc Korea only works with licensed partner clinics registered to treat international patients.

Check that the agency is registered with the Korean government as a foreign patient facilitator and that its partner clinics are licensed medical institutions registered to treat international patients. Ask what the agency's service includes, how it is paid and who you contact if something goes wrong. MyDoc Korea is a government-registered medical tourism agency based in Gangnam, Seoul. We coordinate consultations with registered partner clinics, interpretation, accommodation and transport, with 24/7 multilingual support; medical decisions are made by your treating doctor.

Key factors: specialist qualification in plastic surgery (성형외과 전문의), experience and focus in the procedure you want, and a clear in-person consultation in which the surgeon explains the risks, alternatives and recovery. MyDoc Korea can introduce you to 2-3 specialist surgeons at registered partner clinics based on your goals; the surgeon you choose evaluates you and recommends the treatment.

V-line surgery (face contouring) is a signature Korean procedure that reshapes the jawline and chin to create a slim, V-shaped facial profile. It may include jaw angle reduction, chin advancement (genioplasty), and cheekbone reduction. As bone surgery, it involves a longer recovery and specific risks, which your surgeon explains at consultation. Cost: $5,000-$15,000 at MyDoc Korea partner clinics.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) targets deep skin layers with ultrasound for lifting, starting at $500. Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency to tighten skin and stimulate collagen, starting at $800. HIFU is mainly used for lifting; Thermage FLX mainly for overall tightening. Both are non-invasive and downtime is usually short, although temporary redness, swelling or tenderness can occur and results vary between individuals. Whether combining them suits you is for the treating doctor to advise.

Citizens of many countries (USA, UK, Australia, Canada, most EU countries) can enter Korea visa-free for up to 90 days, which is sufficient for medical tourism. For countries requiring a visa, MyDoc Korea provides medical visa support letters. Contact us for country-specific requirements.

The most popular procedures among international patients at MyDoc Korea are: 1) Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) - most requested, 2) Double eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), 3) Face contouring/V-line surgery, 4) Facelift and anti-aging, 5) HIFU and Thermage FLX for non-surgical rejuvenation.

Korean price ranges are often lower than Singapore clinic ranges, but compare itemised quotes for the same surgical scope. Indicative ranges: Rhinoplasty: $3,000-$8,000 in Korea vs $8,000-$15,000 in Singapore. Face contouring: $5,000-$15,000 vs $12,000-$25,000. Add flights (about 6 hours direct from Changi Airport to Incheon) and accommodation to your total. MyDoc Korea provides itemised quotes before you travel, and our coordination for patients from Singapore includes airport pickup and help with accommodation near Gangnam clinics; the clinic confirms the final price after your consultation.

Common reasons include lower price ranges for many procedures, Korea's reputation for facial procedures such as rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and face contouring, and direct flights from LA, NYC, and SF to Seoul. Rhinoplasty is typically quoted at $3,000-$8,000 in Korea vs $8,000-$15,000 in the USA; add flights and accommodation and compare itemised quotes for the same scope. Surgery abroad also has downsides: follow-up care after you return home is harder to arrange, and all surgery carries risks, which your treating surgeon explains before you decide. MyDoc Korea provides 24/7 English support throughout the process.

Korean price ranges are generally lower than Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane clinic ranges. Rhinoplasty: $3,000-$8,000 USD in Korea (about A$4,500-$12,000) vs A$12,000-$25,000 in Australia. Breast augmentation: $4,000-$8,000 USD vs A$12,000-$22,000. Facelift: $5,000-$15,000 USD vs A$18,000-$40,000. Add return flights (A$1,200-$2,000) and accommodation in Gangnam, and the totals can overlap, so compare itemised quotes for the same surgical scope. MyDoc Korea provides itemised quotes before you travel; the clinic confirms the final price after your consultation.

For many Australians it is practical. Sydney and Brisbane have non-stop flights to Seoul Incheon of around 10 hours, and the time difference is only 1-2 hours (Perth is 1 hour behind Seoul), which makes scheduling and follow-up calls easy. Australian passport holders enter Korea visa-free for up to 90 days. MyDoc Korea provides English-speaking coordinators, airport pickup, accommodation near the clinic, and remote follow-up after you return to Australia. Whether surgery abroad suits you is a decision to make with your treating surgeon.

Ghost surgery refers to the illegal practice where a different surgeon performs your operation without your knowledge. To avoid it: (1) Confirm your surgeon will be present throughout the entire procedure in writing, (2) Use a government-registered medical tourism agency such as MyDoc Korea and ask it to confirm the operating surgeon with the clinic in writing, (3) Verify credentials on the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KSPRS) website. MyDoc Korea asks partner clinics to confirm the operating surgeon in writing.

Check the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KSPRS) online directory at plasticsurgery.or.kr. Board-certified surgeons hold the title "성형외과 전문의" (Plastic Surgery Specialist). MyDoc Korea works only with licensed clinics registered to treat international patients; ask us for the operating surgeon's specialist qualifications before you book.

Booking directly can work if you are comfortable arranging interpretation and logistics yourself. A medical tourism agency can help with: (1) Comparing surgeons across multiple clinics, (2) Itemised quotes before you travel (the clinic confirms the final price after your consultation), (3) Bilingual coordination throughout your entire stay, (4) Accommodation, transport, and logistics, (5) Help communicating with the clinic if issues arise, (6) A 24/7 coordinator contact outside clinic hours. MyDoc Korea's basic concierge service is included at no extra cost with your surgery booking.

Each destination is known for different procedures. Korea is known for facial procedures like rhinoplasty, V-line, and eyelid surgery. Thailand is known for gender-affirming surgery and dental work at lower costs. Turkey is popular for hair transplants. Korea is moderately priced — generally more affordable than the USA/UK but often higher than Thailand/Turkey. Whichever country you choose, check the clinic's licensing and the surgeon's specialist qualification, and discuss the risks with your treating surgeon.
