Does anybody know any good clinic for liposuction at Seoul?

This is true. They always ask for high price and then you offer a smaller one. And bargain until you guys reach an agreement.

Good luck btw on your trip!

Negotiations for the price are standard in Seoul, so the beginning price is going to be high. It's just like buying a house. Most do not go in offering to pay the asking price. The seller goes high, the buyer goes low and they tend to meet in the middle. The difference here is that the buyer can go elsewhere for their surgery, so they have the upper hand.

And yes, the government encourages medical tourism because it stimulates their economy. Medical tourists pay more for the same surgeries. They pay for hotels, eat out daily, buy beauty brands they can't get at home, pay to see sites that native people do not and get services that are more expensive in their home country.

I am not just getting plastic surgery while in Seoul. I am also having LASIK, getting veneers and skin treatments. Here in LA, the veneers alone would be $4-$5,000. In Seoul, they will cost less than $1500 for the same quality, if not better.

Hi EurasianBeauty,

Could you tell me what clinic you went to/ are going to for veneers? I'm heading off to Seoul in March for teeth and ps.
I've looked into a few clinics, there will be 3 that I will visit, but I'm always open to more advice...

If it's okay with everyone, I'd love to join the kaokao group too!!

Is there any advantage to not negotiating (doctors possibly doing better job etc.?) I am worried that if I haggle too much as a foreigner they will not take me seriously

Can you tell me where you are getting Lasik? I was planning on getting Lasik in May, but I can't believe I didn't think about getting it in SK when I'll be there in Sept. for my rhino. Is there a big difference in price compared to US?

Babi Talk also is where clinics post their promotions. I would download the app and use google translate or a friend to take a look. You can use the info there to bargain for your own surgeries and avoid getting overcharged.

Sorry about late replies! I rarely check PF now. Reach me on Kakao if you wish to converse

Hi~ do u still wanna know any good clinic for liposuction? I have a friend who did liposuction last month, it's named 365mc hospital which was recommended by Docfinderkorea, I searched from their website once my friend told me, it said they only do liposuction no other ps, my friend told me when she went there, she saw a lot of local ppl (also many foreigners) which means this hospital might be professional & famous in SK & oversea tho~
Of course she went with the agency-DFK, because no one could go with her at that time (T^T ) also I got a good experience with DFK that's why I recommended her~
Just for ur reference ( ´∀｀)
