How Much Does Blepharoplasty (Eyelid correction) Cost in Republic of Korea?
The cost of blepharoplasty (eyelid correction) in South Korea typically ranges from $2,700 to $2,900. Pricing depends on the clinic, surgeon experience, whether you need upper, lower, or both eyelids treated, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $5,500 (per ASPS). Blepharoplasty in South Korea is about 49% less than in the U.S.
South Korean clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op evaluation, post-op medications, follow-up visits, a personalized treatment plan, English-speaking staff, post-op care instructions, meals during your stay, and 24/7 patient support. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, facility costs, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.

the translator Joanne was excellent and very attentive
t was a great experience, the doctor was good, but could have been more attentive. The staff are a little curt when it comes to customer service, but the translator Joanne was excellent and very attentive, there was also a very friendly older nurse. And there were also free therapeutic treatments that I really liked. Now I need to wait for the results to give a real assessment of whether the treatment was really good.

Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids
The medical team members are so friendly and helpful. Although I speak zero Korean, I can sense their passion and empathy, which dramatically reduced my anxiety to go through the surgery. They are very supportive from the right beginning to the end when I left Seoul. And big thanks to the assistance from Yena, who provides detailed before and after care instructions rather than just working as an interpreter.
Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids. They look much younger and alert.
