How Much Does Buttock lift Cost in Republic of Korea in AUD?
A buttock lift in the Republic of Korea typically costs from AUD $9,748 to AUD $17,920. Final prices depend on the surgical technique, such as traditional skin excision or fat grafting, and the clinic location. Patients save around 37% by travelling to South Korea from Australia, where this procedure costs AUD $21,934 on average. Packages often include post-operative care, medications, and language assistance.
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): typically 50% less than surgical lifts as a starting price.
- Buttock implants: usually adds a 20-30% premium due to the cost of silicone prosthetics.
- Gangnam district clinics: often charge a 20% premium compared to other regions in Seoul.
- Technique complexity: using VASER technology or multiple donor areas adds 20-30% to base costs.
Bookimed Expert Insight: South Korea offers unique value through non-surgical alternatives often unavailable in other hubs. Packages start around A$6,300 at HERSHE Plastic Surgery Korea, covering signature filler and thread technologies. This approach avoids the high costs of surgical facilities and anaesthesia. Australian patients also benefit from a 7–8% VAT refund at certified centres like JK Plastic Surgery Center.

The surgeon and staff were excellent throughout
My biggest worry going into this was how visible the scars would be after my lower eyelid correction. Even though I’m still in the early stages of healing, the traditional incision lines are already barely noticeable, which is a huge relief. The surgeon and staff were excellent throughout. Based on the care I received and the initial results, I am very pleased with my choice of clinic. Gia my coordinator was lovely and very helpful. Huge thank you to all the medical, nursing and admin staff. 🙏🙏🙏🫰🫰

The experience for me, in general, was excellent, I would go back to the Dr
I was very pleased with the attention I received from the first day I arrived at the clinic. The interpreter was able to communicate perfectly to the surgeon what I wanted to be done and what my expectations were.
I loved the hospitality of the Medical Team, all very attentive, very concerned about whether I was feeling well or not, reminding me of my check-ups, cleaning, suture removal, giving me all the information for the post-operative period, giving me light and oxygen therapy sessions to improve and accelerate the results of my recovery. The clinic is located in a very central place in Gangnam, it is easy to get there. It is very close to the flat that the clinic provides during your stay until the first check-up. The clinic is spacious, well-lit, very clean, with flexible opening hours for post-operative care. The real estate is very comfortable, they have coffee and tea so that you can help yourself. And, they don't keep you waiting. Everything works as scheduled. And, additionally, they provided me with help on how to get around the city, how to get to the tourist attractions, to the shops where they sell skin care products, etc. The experience for me, in general, was excellent, I would go back to the Dr. and I recommend him 100% to those people who are looking for a good clinic where they can have surgery with the full confidence that everything will go very well.
About Bookimed service
Bookimed made it easy for me to have a person who speaks my language to assist me whenever I had questions about the different alternatives of plastic surgery clinics that I could ask to evaluate me and give me a quote. When I had already decided on the clinic I wanted to go to, the person who assisted me very kindly answered all the questions I had after I had made my choice. She sent me all the information I asked for about the clinic, the background of the Dr. who was going to operate on me, health permits, health registration of the Dr., validity of his professional title, etc. Everything I needed to make sure I made a very informed decision and knew everything about the clinic, the Dr, the place where I would be operated on, where the clinic was located, where I would be staying from the day of the surgery until a week later and, obviously, how much I was going to be charged.
There was only one difference with respect to the initial budget, but it was because once I was in the clinic I added a part of my face that had not been contemplated before. But even so, the final price did not increase too much compared to what I was charged at other clinics in South Korea.

The competence, careful attitude and attention to every little detail is what I really liked
I would like to thank my doctor for his careful attention to my difficult situation. The competence, careful attitude and attention to every little detail is what I really liked. Now I am still recovering and the final result is still far away, but I believe that everything will be fine. I would like to mention my coordinator-translator Jena. She is a very nice girl who helped me during my stay. Kind, nice, responsible and competent. She made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much to the doctor, Jena and the clinic staff for everything. I will definitely recommend to my friends.

I can confidently recommend it to anyone planning to have moles, growths or other unwanted skin lesions removed
I am very pleased with Bookimed’s service. A coordinator supported me over several months, helping me choose a clinic.
That’s how we chose Saero Clinic in Seoul. Before the operation, I had a video consultation with the doctors, during which we discussed all the details at length.The clinic itself turned out to be modern and comfortable, and the staff were very attentive and friendly.
The operation went smoothly, and afterwards I attended regular check-ups to monitor the healing process. I went to this clinic to have a growth removed from my face and was very pleased with the result. I can confidently recommend it to anyone planning to have moles, growths or other unwanted skin lesions removed.
I am very happy with my experience with Bookimed. They supported me throughout the entire process and stayed in touch for months while I was planning my trip and choosing a clinic.
Thanks to their help, I found an excellent clinic in South Korea. I had a video consultation before the surgery, where everything was explained clearly. The clinic was modern and clean, the staff were wonderful, and the surgery went very smoothly.
I had regular follow-up checkups every two days, and I am very happy with the results. I truly appreciate all the care and support I received.

Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment
Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment. The surgeon was direct and honest about what was realistic, and I appreciated that he personally handled both the consultation and the open rhinoplasty surgery for my full nose reshaping. The clinic staff has been easy to reach, and their aftercare guide is clear. I’m still healing. Be prepared for additional expenses like Ubers, hotel, recommended post-op meds, and lots of supplies like gauze, tape, and dry mouth spray. My advice for others is to bring a guardian; the first 3 days are very difficult and you will need help. Also, make sure to coordinate your arrival and departure dates so you don't leave before all your post-op care is finished.
The entire process was very organized, efficient and full of all necessary details. Communication responses are quick. Questions are answered with details and lots of backup information. The coordination between ALL the different departments is fantastic. The Clinic is immaculate. The Doctor is so professional and experienced and he has empathy and confidence. Top-notch all-around. And the Clinic is in a very good location. Everyone makes you feel like you matter and they want to make sure you feel happy and satisfied throughout the entire process.
The only thing is to just communicate more the post-op care during the initial phase. That it’s important to not book a flight home too soon after surgery. And that departure is coordinated based upon the surgery type. Also, a “care” bag that includes an emollient lip balm and dry mouth spray, as well as the gauze and tape needed for rhinoplasty. Having these things would help sooooo much with the recovery. My daughter had to go and buy these things separately and I suffered the first night until she was able to buy these items for me. Other than that —- everything else was just great

I would highly recommend this clinic for its quality service and professionalism
I am very pleased with my choice of this clinic. From the very beginning the communication with the clinic staff was fast and of high quality. I chose from 3 clinics. It was in this clinic that I got the best price and quality service before and after the procedure.
I had a second rhinoplasty. The doctor did just a jewellery work with my nose. Very carefully, without much interference, he corrected the flaws from the first surgery I had a couple of years ago in Turkey. I am very happy with the result. My nose is now straight and neat. I was also very pleased with the service at the clinic after the operation. I had all the necessary procedures to reduce the swelling immediately after the operation and then during the week I still came a couple of times for procedures, so the recovery took literally a week. Special thanks to the assistant Joan. She was always in touch and very supportive throughout my stay in Korea. I would highly recommend this clinic for its quality service and professionalism.

The support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference
My biggest worry was how the incision lines would heal and what the final result would be. I'm still in the early stages, but I feel so relieved and grateful. The team achieved a really good lift, and my nipples are already in a good position. The healing itself is progressing—there is some scabbing along the lollipop incision lines, which is to be expected. Honestly, the biggest challenge by far has been sleeping upright. It's tough. But the support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference. I feel I made the right decision coming here.
The staff is really attentive to your needs. And now that I am home they are still very responsive and concerned about my healing.

I felt I was in good hands throughout the entire process
If you're considering this procedure, my main advice would be to find a team you genuinely feel comfortable with. For me, that made all the difference. The surgeon and staff were so supportive and the clinic itself has a very professional, calming feel. I'm still in the early stages of recovery, but I can already see the outcome I wanted—the perfect amount of tooth show. The surgeon used a bullhorn incision, and the scar is already barely visible. It’s been a little challenging to eat carefully, but that's a temporary inconvenience. I felt I was in good hands throughout the entire process.
From the beginning to the end of my treatment amazing

Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids
The medical team members are so friendly and helpful. Although I speak zero Korean, I can sense their passion and empathy, which dramatically reduced my anxiety to go through the surgery. They are very supportive from the right beginning to the end when I left Seoul. And big thanks to the assistance from Yena, who provides detailed before and after care instructions rather than just working as an interpreter.
Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids. They look much younger and alert.

The support from the team and the surgeon has been unfailing
My biggest fear was that the result would look unnatural. Fortunately, that’s not the case at all. Even though it’s only been 15 days since the operation, my eyes look natural and smooth when I smile, which is very encouraging for the future. My biggest challenge at the moment is that the bruising isn’t fading as quickly as I’d imagined; patience is key. The support from the team and the surgeon has been unfailing. I really understand now why choosing a good surgeon is so important; it made all the difference to my confidence throughout the process.
The medical staff are very professional. They’re always there to listen to you.
I couldn’t find anything negative

By far the most attentive care I have EVER gotten in medicine—again, thanks especially to Joanne, who even walked me back to my hotel across the street post-op
One would fear that flying to a foreign country where you don’t know the language would be stressful and scary. Not only did the staff (Joanne <3!) make that all a cakewalk, the clinic’s aftercare was top notch, they really went above and beyond for me. And I am NOT an easy patient—I need to know every chemical in the anesthesia, I negotiate different antibiotics, make them go over my 21 daily supplements, etc—I kept them BUSY and was shown nothing but continual grace and warmth, and was always responded to promptly. By far the most attentive care I have EVER gotten in medicine—again, thanks especially to Joanne, who even walked me back to my hotel across the street post op. As for the surgery outcome, I didn’t even need a Tylenol it was that painless, I was able to walk around and enjoy Seoul every day after my mini lift, and although I’m still swollen at just under two weeks out, I already look ten years younger and am loving what I’m seeing. Dr. Park knows what he is doing, he’s done 3000+ facelifts (yes I asked), he has superb attention to detail, a true artist’s hand, and is a friendly and gentlemanly doctor!

I give Saero Plastic Surgery a 5 because they exceeded my expectations
Dr. Pak is very knowledgeable and professional. It has been over a week sonce my surgery and see.s that everything is healing well. He prescribed a pack of antibiotics and pain killers for me to take for 5 days. The medication worked great because I was at a very minimal pain.
His staff walked me through everything I needed from the US to Korea. I felt confident that I was in good hands and I was. The interpreter did a great good Interpreting everything I needed to ask the doctor and addressed all my concerns.
I give Saero Plastic Surgery a 5 because they exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend to everyone.

They were professional and kind from start to finish
After having liposuction on my abdomen, the treated area is only slightly tender. I am, however, still very swollen. It’s a process. The biggest challenge for me has not been pain, but the constant compression garment discomfort, which is something to be prepared for. Throughout it all, the support from the surgeon and clinic staff has been solid and reassuring, which made a huge difference. They were professional and kind from start to finish.
It's been 11 days since the procedure. Definitely seeing the fat reduced. Looking forward to seeing the final result.

FAQ about Buttock lift in Republic of Korea
These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.
How long is the stay in South Korea for a buttock lift?
Patients should plan for a 10 to 14-day stay in South Korea for a surgical buttock lift. This timeframe covers the procedure, initial recovery, and mandatory stitch removal at 7 to 10 days post-surgery. Non-surgical filler or thread treatments require a shorter 6-day stay.
- Hospital stay: Surgical patients typically spend 1 to 3 nights in the clinic for monitoring.
- Stitch removal: Surgeons at clinics like VG Plastic Surgery remove sutures 7 to 10 days post-op.
- Non-surgical stay: Procedures using fillers and thread technology generally require a 6-day hotel stay.
- Flight safety: A 14-day trip minimises blood clot risks during the long flight back to Australia.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While surgical lifts need a fortnight, Seoul clinics often specialise in minimally invasive alternatives. Dr Jung Young Choon at HERSHE Plastic Surgery uses patented thread technology. This allows patients to fly home after just 6 days. This option is popular for those wanting a lift. It offers significantly less downtime than traditional surgery.
Patient Consensus: Booking the surgery for the first or second day maximises recovery time. This gives more time before the flight home. Patients recommend bringing a companion for the first 4 days. They also suggest preparing compression garments for the return journey from South Korea.
What is included in South Korean plastic surgery packages for a buttock lift?
South Korean buttock lift packages provide all-inclusive surgical care. They combine specialist fees, anaesthesia, and post-operative recovery services. These bundles typically range from $6,800 to $12,500. They cover traditional surgical lifts or non-surgical techniques using fillers and medical-grade threads.
- Medical fees: Packages cover surgeon fees, anaesthetist costs, and theatre expenses in Seoul.
- Surgical techniques: Includes options like gluteal soft-tissue repositioning using polydioxane (PDO) threads.
- Clinical support: Staff provide multilingual assistance and vitamin infusions to aid surgery recovery.
- Local logistics: Standard inclusions often feature clinic transfers and essential post-operative medications.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Many Seoul clinics focus on facial work. However, body specialists like Dr Jung Young Choon at HERSHE Plastic Surgery offer unique non-surgical lifts. These packages use patented Epiticon threads and fillers for immediate results. They avoid the longer downtime of traditional surgery.
Patient Consensus: Patients recommend confirming specific inclusions like compression garments and follow-up medical imaging. In the Republic of Korea, focusing on clinics with board-certified body contouring specialists is crucial. It ensures better results than general aesthetic centres.
Where are the best clinics for buttock lifts in Korea?
Leading clinics for buttock lifts in Korea include HERSHE Plastic Surgery, VG Plastic Surgery, and Banobagi Clinic. These Seoul-based centres specialise in both surgical reshaping and non-invasive filler and thread techniques. They offer board-certified expertise in JCI or ASPS-accredited environments for international patients.
- Surgical expertise: Dr. Im Young Min at VG Plastic Surgery performs full body and buttock lifts.
- Non-surgical options: HERSHE Plastic Surgery uses patented Epiticon threads and fillers for targeted lifting.
- Safety standards: Banobagi Clinic employs 4 on-site anaesthetists to monitor patients during all surgeries.
- Accredited facilities: Clinics hold international certifications such as American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) membership.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While surgical lifts are common, Seoul is a global leader in non-surgical gluteal repositioning. Packages for thread-based lifts at clinics like HERSHE include vitamin infusions and post-operative care. This approach offers a significant alternative. It suits patients seeking volume without the downtime of traditional surgery.
Patient Consensus: Visitors suggest visiting Gangnam for multiple in-person consultations to find the right surgeon. Most value seeing real before-and-after photos of similar body types. They review these before committing to surgery in Korea.
