How Much Does Jaw shaping Cost in Republic of Korea?

The cost of jaw shaping in South Korea typically ranges from $1,100 to $5,500. Pricing depends on the surgical method (V-line, square jaw reduction, or contouring), the clinic, surgeon experience, and whether bone shaving or repositioning is required. In the United States, the average price is $15,000 (per ASPS). Jaw shaping in South Korea is about 78% less than in the U.S.

South Korean clinics usually include pre-op assessment, general anesthesia, 3D CT scans, the surgery itself, 1–2 nights in hospital, medications, and follow-up visits. In the U.S., the quoted price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with separate charges for anesthesia, imaging, facility, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what is included with your chosen clinic.
