FAQ
Is plastic surgery in Korea safe?
It can be, at a properly accredited clinic with a board-certified surgeon and an anesthesiologist. Safety depends heavily on clinic choice — see “How to Choose a Safe Clinic”.
How much does surgery cost?
It varies widely by procedure, technique and surgeon. We show approximate ranges on each procedure page — final pricing differs by clinic and is confirmed at consultation.
How long should I stay in Korea?
It depends on the procedure and stitch-removal timing — often several days to two weeks. Plan enough time for at least one follow-up.
Do clinics offer support in my language?
Many Gangnam clinics have coordinators for English, Japanese, Chinese and Thai. Always confirm language support before booking — we help match language-ready clinics.
Can I get a tax refund?
Foreign patients may qualify for a medical VAT refund on eligible cosmetic procedures. Keep your passport and receipts — see “Medical Tax Refund”.
Is this website a clinic?
No. We are an independent guide and free consultation-matching service — not a medical provider. We help you get informed and connect with a suitable clinic.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — asking us questions and getting matched with a clinic is free. Any surgery you later choose is paid directly to the clinic.
What if I need a revision?
Wait for full healing before judging results, and ask each clinic about its revision policy in advance. See “About Revision Surgery”.
Do I need a visa?
Many nationalities can enter visa-free for short stays; longer treatment may need a medical visa. See “Visa & Entry”.
How does aftercare work once I go home?
Many clinics offer remote follow-up by photo or video, and local stitch removal is often possible. See “Aftercare After You Return”.
