How Much Does Face Liposuction Cost in Republic of Korea?

Face liposuction in the Republic of Korea typically costs from $600 to $1,800. The final price depends on the specific treatment areas, such as the chin or jawline, and the surgical technique used.

Standard inclusions often cover the surgical fee, local anesthesia, and basic post-operative consultations.

  • Specialized techniques: Advanced methods like AccuSculpt or VASER may increase the base price by 25-30%.
