Are consultations in Korean plastic surgery clinics typically free, or do they require a payment, and does the cost vary depending on the clinic, procedure, or surgeon’s expertise? Additionally, are there any notable differences in consultation practices for international patients, such as upfront fees or bundled costs that include the procedure and aftercare?
When I was researching clinics in Seoul, I found that some offered free consultations while others, especially high-end ones, charged a small fee usually deductible from the surgery cost. Personally, I visited 1mm Plastic Surgery where I had a paid consultation with Dr. Eon Rok Do. It was detailed and included 3D imaging, which gave me real clarity and confidence. I also visited Kowon Plastic Surgery, where Dr. Kim Hyeongtaek provided a free, no-pressure consultation that was incredibly professional. Lastly, I met Dr. Tack-Jin Chang at TJ Plastic Surgery another free consultation where he took the time to explain everything thoroughly. From my experience, the value of a consultation isn’t about whether it’s free or paid it’s about how informative and personalized it feels.

From my experience, many Seoul clinics especially those popular with international patients offer free consultations. I had a great initial consultation at Soon Plus Plastic Surgery where Dr. SoonDong Kim’s team explained everything in detail without any pressure. Likewise, Hugo Plastic Surgery set me up with Dr. Seonghyeok Yang for a free consult; their English-speaking staff made the process smooth and informative. Both clinics were professional, transparent, and made me feel completely at ease before making any decisions.

When I was exploring cosmetic surgery options in Korea, I found that many top clinics especially in Gangnam charge a consultation fee, which is often credited toward the surgery if you proceed. I booked a consultation at Dite Plastic Surgery with Dr. Jun Wook Lee, and although there was a fee, it was absolutely worth it. Dr. Lee took the time to understand my goals and explained everything thoroughly. If you’re looking for expert care, Dite is a great choice even with a paid consult, the personalized attention makes it worthwhile.
