Flying to Seoul, the ultra-modern South Korea capital, presents the chance to save at least 50% on the price of your facelift.
Look forward to treatment in some of the most technologically advanced cosmetic clinics and hospitals in the region when booking with Medical Departures.
Most people don’t realise that Seoul is one of the world’s leading plastic surgery destinations, with more of its residents undergoing some sort of cosmetic treatment than anywhere else. Seoul’s surgeons are just as highly-qualified and trained as any cosmetic surgeon back home—and in many cases, they are at the forefront of the profession in terms of innovative techniques and specialist technology.
These days medical training is very similar everywhere, and it isn’t out-of-the-ordinary for doctors to undertake part of their training overseas, which is why you’ll find so many surgeons in other countries are also members of American societies, such as the American Board of Surgery.
Seoul is also a vibrant, contemporary city. It has all the facilities and services you need as a medical traveler. Although you may not be up to sightseeing after surgery, you will discover plenty to see and do before your facelift procedure. Afterward, you can always relax in a comfortable hotel with room service at your beck and call.
It’s always worth doing your own research before you book anywhere. Find out what you can about your particular procedure and any prospective surgeons. Don’t be afraid to ask questions; seek out former patient testimonials and, of course, check out their credentials.
Medical Departures runs its own checks and you can find qualifications, professional memberships and real patient reviews alongside our listings, giving you a head start on your own research.

This really depends on the extent of your facelift; surgery could be as little as two hours going up to six or even more.
After an initial consultation in which you and your surgeon will discuss your cosmetic treatment goals, the procedure will begin following the administration of general anaesthesia.
Your surgeon will make incisions in the hairline at the temple, as well as above and in front of the ear. The skin is gently lifted, and the underlying muscles and tissues tightened. Excess fat and skin may be removed and the remaining skin stitched in place. This process continues down under the earlobe and behind the ear. When finished a dressing will be applied to protect the areas where the incisions were made.

Facelifts in Seoul are around 50% of the price they are in Australia.
These are estimated figures at the time of writing. To see some of the latest prices on offer, take a look at these top-rated, MD-verified clinics in Seoul that offer facelift surgery, as well as other facial cosmetic surgery:
