The five Korean clinics on this page with a genuine published price start between $3,800 and $8,500: Nana Plastic Surgery Hospital $5,600, VG Plastic Surgery ₩8,800,000, 1mm Plastic Surgery $7,000, POP and Glovi $8,500. Eight hospital listings show a placeholder figure and quote per case in practice. Korea is a premium market, four to seven times the Thai starting price.
MyMediTravel lists 26 clinics and hospitals offering breast augmentation in South Korea, all but one of them in Seoul. Five publish a genuine starting price, from $3,800 at Nana Plastic Surgery Hospital to $8,500 at POP Plastic Surgery and Glovi Plastic Surgery. A further eight hospital listings, including Severance and Kyung Hee University hospitals, show an identical figure of ฿221,000 (about $6,141) that is a placeholder rather than a quoted price, so they are treated here as quoting per case. The honest summary is that Korea is a premium market: the five real prices run $5,600 to $8,500, four to seven times the Thai starting price, and what you are paying for is the depth of the Seoul cosmetic surgery industry rather than a saving.
The "from" figure each clinic displays on its MyMediTravel listing where that figure is a real quote. Twenty of the 26 listings quote per case, among them Severance Hospital, Hanyang University Medical Center, Cheil General Hospital & Women's Healthcare Ce, Chung-Ang University Hospital and four other hospitals whose listings carry the placeholder figure, and the well-known Gangnam clinics Grand, JW, Wonjin, JK, BK and The LINE.
| Clinic | City | Est. | From (USD) | From (GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nana Plastic Surgery Hospital | Seoul | 2018 | $5,600 | £4,394 |
| VG Plastic Surgery | Seoul | 2016 | $6,591 | £5,171 |
| 1mm Plastic Surgery | Seoul | 2018 | $7,000 | £5,492 |
| Glovi Plastic Surgery | Seoul | 2013 | $8,500 | £6,669 |
| POP Plastic Surgery & Skin | Seoul | 2010 | $8,500 | £6,669 |
Nana Plastic Surgery Hospital (established 2018, 8 doctors listed) at $5,600 and VG Plastic Surgery (est. 2016, 4 doctors) at ₩8,800,000 are the two lower prices; 1mm Plastic Surgery (est. 2018, ISO certified) at $7,000, and POP (est. 2010) and Glovi (est. 2013) at $8,500 fill the top. All five are dedicated plastic surgery clinics in Seoul rather than general hospitals, all list their surgeons by name, and none has reviews on MyMediTravel yet. For reviewed clinics you have to look at the per-case list: Grand Plastic Surgery (28 doctors listed, 4 reviews at 5.0, est. 2004), Wonjin (5 reviews at 4.8, est. 1999), JK Plastic (est. 1998, 2 reviews at 5.0) and The LINE, which is JCI accredited. Samsung Medical Center and Severance Hospital (JCI, founded 1884) are university hospitals with plastic surgery departments and quote per case.
Seoul has one of the highest concentrations of plastic surgeons of any city in the world, most of them in the Gangnam district south of the river, and the market is built around Korean and regional patients who pay these prices at home. Korean clinics commonly offer smooth-surface implants such as Motiva, often placed via an armpit (transaxillary) incision to keep the breast scar-free, frequently with endoscopic assistance, and the larger clinics run their own anaesthesia teams and recovery wards. That is what the $5,600 to $8,500 buys. It is not a bargain destination for this operation; patients choose it for a specific surgeon or technique, or because they are already travelling to Korea for other procedures.
Seoul's clinics work with international patient coordinators and most of the larger ones have English, Chinese and Japanese-speaking staff; the smaller surgeon-led clinics may rely on an interpreter, which you should confirm at enquiry. Plan seven to ten days: consultation and tests, the operation with a night in the clinic's recovery ward, checks at day two or three and day seven, and stitches out before flying. Incheon Airport is about an hour from Gangnam by airport train or limousine bus. Prices are published in US dollars at four of the five clinics, so there is no currency guesswork; ask whether the implant brand, anaesthesia and post-operative garment are in the figure.
Send one enquiry through this page and the clinics reply stating implant, incision, inclusions and their real price, which for the per-case hospitals is the only way to get a figure. Free, no obligation, and MyMediTravel checks in after your treatment.

Because it is a placeholder entered on the listing, not a quote: Severance, Hanyang, Cheil, Chung-Ang, Kyung Hee, Sun Medical Center, BK and Delightful Aesthetics all show ฿221,000. They are treated on this page as quoting per case. Send an enquiry to get their actual figure.
No. The five real Korean prices run $5,600 to $8,500; Thai clinics start at about $1,167 and most cluster around $3,000. Patients choose Korea for a particular surgeon or technique, such as endoscopic transaxillary augmentation, or because they are already in Seoul for other procedures, not for the price.
Two listings on this page carry JCI accreditation: Severance Hospital, a university hospital founded in 1884, and The LINE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam. Both quote per case. 1mm Plastic Surgery and Delightful Aesthetics carry ISO certification.
Seven to ten days: consultation and tests, the operation with a night in the clinic's recovery ward, checks at day two or three and day seven, and stitches out before flying. Incheon Airport is about an hour from Gangnam, where most of the clinics are.
The larger clinics have international coordinators and English, Chinese and Japanese-speaking staff. Smaller surgeon-led clinics may rely on an interpreter. Confirm at the enquiry stage who you will be able to talk to before, during and after the operation, and how follow-up is handled once you are home.
