How Much Does Tip rhinoplasty Cost in Republic of Korea?

The cost of tip rhinoplasty in South Korea typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500. Pricing depends on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience with nasal surgery, and the complexity of reshaping the nasal tip (cartilage grafting, suturing, or use of silicone). In the United States, the average cost is $9,900 (per ASPS). Tip rhinoplasty in South Korea is about 77% less than in the U.S.

Korean clinics usually include pre-op consultation, anesthesia, the surgical procedure, necessary materials (such as cartilage or silicone), post-op medications, and at least one follow-up visit. In the U.S., the price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, facility, and follow-up visits billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your clinic before booking.
