Plastic Surgery in Korea: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does plastic surgery cost in Korea?

Plastic surgery prices in Korea are often lower than typical US prices.

MyDoc Korea helps you obtain itemised quotes from partner clinics; these are estimates, and the treating clinic confirms the final price after your consultation.

Why do people choose Korea for plastic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is widely performed in Korea, particularly in Seoul's Gangnam district, and plastic surgery specialists complete several years of specialist training. Many patients also consider cost, as prices are often lower than typical US prices. All surgery carries risks, which your surgeon will explain at the consultation.

Is plastic surgery in Korea safe for foreigners?

All surgery carries risks, and results vary from person to person — your surgeon will explain the risks that apply to you at the consultation. MyDoc Korea works with specialist surgeons at licensed medical institutions in Gangnam, Seoul that are registered to treat international patients. As a government-registered foreign patient facilitator, MyDoc Korea checks surgeon credentials, helps guard against ghost surgery by confirming with the clinic that your designated surgeon will operate, and provides interpretation and 24/7 support throughout your stay.

How long should I stay in Korea for plastic surgery?

Most patients stay 7-14 days depending on the procedure. Simple procedures like double eyelid surgery need about 7 days; rhinoplasty 7-10 days; face contouring or facelift 10-14 days. This allows for consultation, surgery, stitch removal, and initial recovery checkups before flying home.

Plastic surgery: risks, side effects and recovery

Every medical procedure carries risks. These are the main ones to discuss with your surgeon or physician — they will explain the risks that apply to you before you give consent.

  • General surgical risks: bleeding, infection, scarring, delayed wound healing, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), reactions to anaesthesia, and a result that does not meet your expectations or needs revision surgery.
  • Asymmetry, changes in skin sensation or numbness, visible scars and prolonged swelling are possible after most cosmetic operations.
  • Each procedure also has its own specific risks — see the individual procedure pages and ask your surgeon.

Recovery: Recovery depends on the procedure: from about a week for minor surgery to several weeks or months for facial bone or body surgery. Your surgeon decides when you can fly home.
