buyit Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Hey, I consulted 10 clinics in March 2016 and I got quoted for Cheekbone reduction 7,5m KRW and for nose surgery 7m KRW on average. This year I messaged the same clinics (view, gng, april 31, darps..) and I got quoted for Cheekbone reduction 4,5-5m KRW and for nose surgery 5m KRW on average. Is it possible that surgery prices are getting cheaper?
buyit Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 thanks, do you know which months are the best to travel to seoul?
mintwrisr Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 If you're talking for plastic surgery, it would be best to avoid the summer and winter breaks which are July-August and December-Febuary.
kotrad Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Yes, I would add that you should probably also avoid Korean public holidays and Chinese New Year. The latter is because most Chinese visitors will go to Korea for PS then.
ladybugz Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 IMO, they have actually gotten a lot more expensive since the last time I was in Seoul (2013). I've noticed that nearly everything is significantly more expensive this time around, from fillers to chin implants, etc.
rsfhh Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 i think last year the korean government exclude the tax for foreigners on plastci surgery
kotrad Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 This is correct, but actually it is also the case this year till Dec, so it will not be the cause for any "lower prices".
tamle_o Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 So from Jan 2018, will the tax come back on foreigners again? About OP, I think the price of zygoma reduction to be cheaper because this is for quick/safe zygoma reduction :-S
kpsa Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 It has been extended for a couple of years now, so good chance it will be extended as well in 2008. Of course there is no guarantee, but as Korea wants to establish itself as the go to Asian medical hub it would be strange if it wouldn't be extended. Just check the message board in visitmedicalkorea as if it is extended you can find it there.
kpsa Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Agree, as if you go in peak PS periods you logically can expect that less discount will tend to be given, since they have enough business. So if you can go during "less busy" periods it would be beneficial! Also I would imagine they have more time for you as well
