Gangnam Prime

Korean plastic surgeons perform significantly higher case volumes than their counterparts in most countries, particularly in precision procedures like eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and facial contouring. Korea's aesthetic standards, surgical techniques, and post-op care protocols are globally recognized. Comparable quality procedures are also often more competitively priced in Korea.

Korean medical facilities are strictly regulated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. All licensed clinics must meet rigorous standards for anesthesia, emergency equipment, and surgeon credentials. Key things to verify: board-certified plastic surgeon, proper facility licensing, and thorough pre-op consultation. All Gangnam Prime partner clinics are vetted for credentials and clinical outcomes before we refer any patient.

Costs vary by procedure and clinic tier. General reference ranges: double eyelid surgery ₩1,500,000–₩3,500,000, rhinoplasty ₩5,000,000–₩12,000,000, facial contouring (cheekbone + jaw) ₩12,000,000–₩22,000,000, Thermage ₩2,500,000–₩5,000,000. These are reference ranges only — actual pricing is confirmed after a personal consultation based on your specific needs.

It depends on the procedure. Eye surgery typically requires 5–7 days post-op in Korea; rhinoplasty 7–10 days; facial contouring 10–14 days for suture removal, follow-up checks, and initial swelling observation. Non-surgical skin treatments (lasers, Thermage) are usually same-day with no extended stay required.

Surgical procedures (double eyelid, rhinoplasty, contouring) are generally permanent, though natural aging will occur over time. Filler treatments last 6–18 months; skin tightening treatments like Thermage typically last 1–2 years. Following post-op care instructions, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and maintaining healthy habits all help extend results.
