How Much Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Cost in Republic of Korea in AUD?

Upper eyelid surgery in the Republic of Korea typically costs between AUD $1,878 and AUD $6,934. Final prices depend on the chosen technique (incisional vs non-incisional), surgeon seniority in districts like Gangnam, and any combined corrections. Patients from Australia save approximately 68% compared to local prices, where the procedure average is AUD $5,923. Inclusions often cover consultations, anaesthetic fees, post-operative medications, and follow-up stitch removal.

  • Incisional methods: typically cost more as they involve fat removal and muscle adjustment.
  • Ptosis correction: adding this muscle adjustment usually increases the total surgical fee.
  • Seoul medical hubs: clinics in Gangnam or Sinsa may charge 20% more for premium service.
  • Tax refunds: international tourists can claim a 10% VAT refund at the airport.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While many clinics offer lower entry prices, premium hubs like JK Plastic Surgery Center focus on high-volume success with over 85,000 procedures performed. Australian patients often find better value in bundles at specialised centres. For example, Hivom Plastic Surgery Clinic offers packages starting around A$1,200. These standard deals often include multiple eye-related procedures, providing a more balanced facial result for a single price.

Data verified by Bookimed as of July 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 160 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

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 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.

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 translator Joanne was excellent and very attentive
t was a great experience, the doctor was good, but could have been more attentive. The staff are a little curt when it comes to customer service, but the translator Joanne was excellent and very attentive, there was also a very friendly older nurse. And there were also free therapeutic treatments that I really liked. Now I need to wait for the results to give a real assessment of whether the treatment was really good.
