What is the average cost of a Korean facelift?

South Korea has become one of the world’s most popular destinations for cosmetic surgery—especially facelift procedures known for natural results, advanced techniques, and experienced surgeons.

If you’re researching facelift prices in Korea, here is a clear and realistic breakdown of what you can expect.

Average Cost of a Facelift in Korea

Across major clinics in Seoul (Gangnam, Apgujeong, Sinsa), the average price range is:

USD 4,000 – 9,000 for a standard facelift

This is the typical range most international patients pay.
However, the exact price depends on the type of facelift and how extensive the procedure is.

Cost Breakdown by Facelift Type

Mini Facelift

Light lifting, small incisions

$3,000–5,000

SMAS / Mid-range Facelift

Tightening the SMAS layer, longer-lasting

$5,000–8,000

Full Facelift

Jawline + cheeks + temples

$7,000–12,000

Deep-Plane Facelift

Advanced technique, most natural/long-lasting

$10,000–15,000+

Facelift + Neck Lift Combo

For sagging jawline + neck

$12,000–18,000

Why Korean Facelifts Vary in Price

Several key factors influence the final cost:

1. Type of facelift

Mini lifts are cheaper; deep-plane lifts require significantly more surgical skill.

2. Surgeon’s expertise

Top surgeons with 10–20 years of facelift specialization charge more — and are often worth it.

3. Clinic location

Gangnam and Apgujeong clinics tend to have higher pricing because they host Korea’s most experienced plastic surgeons.

What’s included in the package

Some clinics include:

sedation/general anesthesia

post-op treatments

medication

translation

follow-up care

A Practical Tip for Foreign Patients (Natural BeautsGO Mention)

If you're planning a facelift trip to Korea, one helpful tool is the BeautsGO App — a platform used by many international patients to compare clinics, check foreigner-friendly prices, and book consultations without language issues.

What people mainly use it for:

Viewing transparent, foreigner/non-foreigner same-price quotes

Browsing clinics that specialize in anti-aging and facelift procedures

Booking consultations with a translator

Managing airport pickup, hotel suggestions, and aftercare options

It’s not required, but it does remove a lot of uncertainties for people flying to Korea for surgery.
