Eugene Lee • November 10, 2025

For smaller areas (e.g., chin, arms): prices may start around ₩2,400,000 KRW (~US $1,900) at some clinics in Seoul.
For medium-sized areas (e.g., thighs, abdomen): many clinics quote ranges of US $4,000-US $8,000 (~₩4,800,000-₩9,600,000) depending on size and complexity.
For full body or multiple large zones together: costs can reach ₩12,000,000 KRW (~US $9,000) or more.

The area treated: A small area like chin or inner arms is less expensive than large zones like abdomen + flanks + back.
Volume of fat removal and difficulty: More fat, more complexity = higher cost.
Technology and technique used: Advanced methods (e.g., VASER, laser-assisted) may cost more.
Clinic reputation & surgeon experience: Premium clinics in districts like Gangnam may charge higher fees.
Package inclusions: Some quotes include surgery fee, anaesthesia, post-op care, garments; others may not.

Chin / small face area: ~ ₩2,000,000-₩3,000,000 KRW (~US $1,500-2,300) at some clinics.
Abdomen alone: ~ US $2,400-4,000 (~₩3,300,000-₩5,500,000) in many cases.
Multiple zones / full body: Could go up to ~ US $9,000+ (~₩12,000,000+) or more depending on extent.

When consulting clinics, ask specifically: “What area is included? What technique is used? What is included in the fee (anaesthesia, garments, follow-up)?”
Compare quotes on a like-for-like basis (same area, same technique) rather than only lowest headline price.
Budget for extra costs: travel (if international), accommodation, garment, extra sessions if needed.
Consider value: A higher-fee clinic may offer better care, English support, follow-up, which may be worth it.
