"APPROXIMATE" prices | Plastic Surgery Procedures | Forum

Hmmm, that is interesting indeed. I'm actually curious about this now, but if I were to guess, I think it's what their estimation of the cost of procedures needed to get your desired look is based off of your pictures. However, when a consult is done in person, it might be a little different (more or less) because they are able to see your face in the flesh. A lot of people look different (better or worse) in their pictures than in person, so they can't really give a rigid answer. As for the post-operative service/tax, I'm not quite sure, but I would think that's a separate charge.....not too sure about that though, haha

I think so too that they separate those -_- ughhh... i wish a million dollar would just flood in my room! I WANT TO BE PRETTY ALREADY! Having no budget is irritating me! >:(

I AGREEEE. It's so hard to save when everything else is also getting increasingly more expensive. :| But I'm sure you're already pretty and just trying to get prettier. ;D

Awwwww <3 XD

Do you think the prices of those clinic will get even higher in the future?

I'm not quite sure...Price determination is a balance between the demand of foreigners and supply of clinics/doctors available. (Economics class is coming in handy, haha)

Prices might increase due to the ever-increasing demand for Korean plastic surgery. Since more foreigners are willing to travel for medical tourism, clinics can assume that people will still pay for their services even when the prices are a little higher because they'd prefer a doctor with more experience. BUT, at the same time, prices can decrease due to the fierce competition between clinics! The discounts/sales during peak seasons are designed to attract people to certain clinics.

Ohh~ you're good ;) so do they give discounts on foreigners? And do you know what season do they usually give discounts? Is it after or before new year? Or summer? Ugghh... why can't they just post discounts online! -_-

Hahah, thank you!! Unfortunately, I've read on multiple places that foreigners tend to be charged more, probably because the clinicians assume that they would pay anyways since they went through all of the trouble to find time/money to go to Korea in the first place. :((

According to an article I read that showcased different promotions, they had/have New Years (new year-new you), spring (people want to fall in love), summer (good time to get students), Christmas (gifting), discounts for students, combination packages, and big group ones. :P I feel like fall might have one too for back to school! (The parentheses indicate my personal reasoning for why they probably have discounts around those times. :D)

THIS MAKES IT EASIER TO PLAN AND SAVE MONEY!! 

I agree, although the only problem with that is that airfare is generally more expensive during those times too. :|

Hey everyone, sorry for intruding on your post but I didn't know where else to put this, so...

@seoultouchup : Could you please tell me what it is that influences the price of rhinoplasty? Does the price depend on what you're having done? For instance, I've noticed that the "barbie nose" can involve implants, so would that cost more than something simpler?

Personally, I just want a slight change - a slimmer, slightly smaller nose with a bit more of an arch. Do you have any idea how much that might cost?

Thanks so much! :)

Hi! I'm in the middle of planning my trip right now, and I've asked the same question. So for nose jobs, the price really depends on what changes you desire. They have bridge augmentation, alarplasty, and tiplasty, which I got quoted for between 4-7k. I'm not sure if the cost is different for just 1 or 2 of those 3 types of changes, but I was told that they are considered separate surgeries in themselves.
