You're welcome! x
These are all year round prices. Some of these clinics do have events through babitalk, but they're monthly.

Dang it! I wish you were going to be there while I am there. I do appreciate all of the help you are giving, though!

Hi guys!

I'm going to Korea in mid-April for a rhino, revisional double eyelid surgery, and possibly lipo. I'll share some of my choices and thoughts~ (By the way, I am Korean so I always ask for prices in Korean and look for smaller clinics so that I can get a better price and more personalized service.)

LaPrin
There are very few international reviews but I know they have had foreign clients before. Their client's faces look very typical Kangnam style. Big, doe eyes and doll noses seem to be their thing. All the girls look the same on babitalk :/ I was quoted around

2.5 mill won for rhino​

1.8 mill for nose tip surgery​

They couldn't give me a quote for revisional eyelid surgery without having a consultation, even though I just wanted a ballpark figure so I can figure out how to budget for my trip.


View
This clinic is pretty popular with foreigners as well as locals. The head doctor did surgery for some girls from the plastic surgery show, Let Me In, for four seasons and they all came out beautiful Their prices are a tad higher though. I was quoted around

2.5 mill won for rhino​

2.5 mill for incisional revision double eyelid surgery ​

I'm pretty sure these are the minimum (easy surgeries) so the cost will probably be higher for myself since my nose is really bulbous.


Rex
This clinic is also fairly popular with foreigners, especially Chinese people. I was quoted

1.29~1.79 mill won for rhino ​

1.0 mill won for alar reduction​

There is only one doctor that works here and he seems to specialize in rhinos. His other surgery B&A's were mediocre but the noses looked nice and natural. He will be the one doing the consultation, surgery, and aftercare (stitch removal) so if you want a personalized experience, go for him. Apparently his English is quite good too.

Trend
This clinic is popular with locals and foreigners alike. Their B&A on their noses are gorgeous. Too bad it's out of my price range:

starting at 3.85m for rhino​

starting at 4.4m for revisional rhino​

Girin
I haven't heard too much about this clinic among locals but it's fairly well known on Purseforum.

3.0m for rhino​

I was actually going to put my deposit on this clinic since they were having a 1.0m promotional event, but they told me it wouldn't be possible after asking the manager -_-

S.one
I got my eyes done here. The surgeon is formerly from BK and focuses on naturalness. Unfortunately, my eyes are a little too natural and my ptosis has not gone completely away so he will be performing a revision on me this April. The noses here are very natural as well. I can't say I am too satisfied with how my eyes turned out (they are better than before at least) but the service here was good and they made me feel comfortable.

(I paid) 2.4m for double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction + epicanthoplasty​

3.0m~ for rhino​

Chungdam Zien
This clinic is specifically known for their lip lift surgery. I wanted it done but my bf said he would break up with me if I did it

3.3m for rhino​

1.0m for alar reduction​

1.5m for lip lift​

Dream
Another well-known clinic in Korea and on Purseforum. Quotes were too high for me but they do have events on babitalk sometimes.

3.1~3.9m for rhino​

2.4m for non-incisional double eyelid surgery​

3.9m for incisional double eyelid surgery​

TL
I'm not too familiar with this clinic but I've seen the name thrown around sometimes on Purseforum. I haven't seen it in babitalk either so I don't know how popular it is with locals.

2.5m for closed rhino​

2.3 for silicone implant​

2.5 for tiplasty​

0.5~0.8 for alar reduction​

I will update this list as I research more clinics. I guess I will use this thread for documenting my rhino journey this spring!

Hey there Paran, I'll be in Seoul in April too! Thanks a ton for the clinics you've posted - I went to Dream for a consultation as well and the prices they quoted were... way out of my budget to say the least (USD4500 for septal extension, closed rhinoplasty).

Have you decided on a clinic?

Hi,
How does babitalk work? Is it possible for foreigner to use it?
Thank you.

 

[loulou90]

Does anybody know the price of liposuction for the entire body?
I did some online consultation at 365mc, Grand Plastic surgery and JW and it's too expensive.
Does anybody know the price of local clinics?

Loulou, just chrome browser with the translation u will be able to read some. But very unlikely clinics will honor the deal for non Korean speakers

Hi there. Why won't Girin let you have the event price? That's odd.

I just looked at their site, is their event price only for people who agree to letting them use their pictures?

Before you do consults:

* Look at Babitalk, SoYoung, etc. for events for all the clinics you are going to. Add up all the amounts and write them down.

* Have a native Korean speaker contact every clinic on their Kakao or email to ask about quotes for your procedures. Print those emails/texts out. Don't use Google Translate.

* Take that (or at least hire a) native Korean speaker to go with you to the consult.

* Once you find the clinic you want, go back with your translator. Bring the maximum amount you are prepared to pay, MINUS 20% in cash. If you're being realistic, that should still be above what you were quoted. If they give you a higher price than before, whip out the emails/texts first, then the money. They will take it 99.99% of the time.

The art of negotiation is pretty much the same no matter what you are negotiating. Knowledge is power and cash is king. They charge native Koreans less because they know how much they make (AKA can afford). They think foreigners (especially Americans) are willing to pay the same amount as they would in their home country. Money is not why someone travels halfway around the world. It's the quality. But the quality is the same regardless of how much you pay. So don't allow them to make you pay more because of what it would cost in your own country or what they think you can afford. Most non-Koreans have no clue about Naver, Kakao, BabiTalk, SoYoung or events. The fact that you took the time to find all of this out AND were astute enough to bring your own Korean translator shows you mean business and are not going to be taken advantage of. Good luck!

Hello there,

I am planning to head over to Seoul early February for my nose revision. Had it done 3 years back but I'm not really satisfied with it.

not allowed

Thanks for that amazing info. I think I'll do exactly that.

I'm thinking of maybe hiring a Korean, but not an official translator, just maybe some uni student that can speak Korean and English. I feel like that shouldn't be too hard to find? I don't want the clinics to see me as really rich because I can afford a translator, and since I'm a uni student too then they maybe we can tell them that we're friends?

Sorry I should have been clearer. The event price is for January but I'm going in April, so they said they can't do it. And yes, you have to release your photos.

Hi Paran. I sent you a PM.

Just tell them it's your cousin's girl or boyfriend. What you make is none of their business. If you want to use their services and they want to play games, literally you can go to another floor in some of their buildings and find another clinic. At worst, you cross the street. Stop making them think they have the power. YOU have it, not them. Remember that some people are easily swayed by money. A professional wants more work, not a quick buck. You don't want to end up with someone who will bump the price up on you just like the promoters (the clinics will tell them to charge you more and they both can profit off of you). No one who is legit will ask what you can pay before going to the consults.

Go on Fiverr. People on there will literally do a task for $5 or more. It's strictly paying to do a task, so there's no flaking or BS. You can look people up by their reviews before hiring them. Just put "translate Korean" in the search box.

P.S. There are a LOT of promoters on PF, so be careful asking for help. They will attempt to take advantage of you and your inability to speak Korean.

Later tonight I will start a thread on where to find Korean translators both online and in person.
