How Much Does Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Cost in Republic of Korea?

The cost of lower eyelid blepharoplasty in South Korea typically ranges from $1,300 to $2,800. Pricing can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, and whether additional procedures (like fat repositioning or laser resurfacing) are included. In the United States, the average cost is $5,300 (per ASPS). This means lower eyelid blepharoplasty in South Korea is about 62% less than in the U.S.

South Korean clinics usually include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, operating room charges, pre-op exams, post-op medications, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, facility, and follow-up billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included before booking your procedure.

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.
