Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions patients most often ask before planning surgery in Korea.

QAre the threads absorbable? How long does the effect last?

AYes, absorbable threads are used. The effect typically lasts about 6 months to 1 year, with individual variation.

QHow long does the procedure take?

AAbout 30 minutes, performed under sedation anesthesia.

QThread lifting or surgical lifting — how do I choose?

AIt depends on the degree of sagging: thread lifting suits earlier, milder sagging, while surgical lifting addresses more advanced laxity.

QHow long does the swelling last?

AMost of the major swelling goes down within 2 weeks to 1 month, and the small visible swelling settles gradually over several months. The pace varies from person to person.

QI do not speak Korean. Do you provide interpretation services?

AWe are a government-registered medical institution for international patients, with dedicated English-, Chinese-, and Japanese-speaking coordinators on staff. They support smooth communication through every step, from consultation to the operating room and aftercare.

QCan I get a tax refund (VAT refund) on the surgery cost?

AThe special VAT refund program for cosmetic surgery services for foreign tourists officially ended on December 31, 2025. For procedures performed on or after January 1, 2026, clinics can no longer issue tax refund documents.

QWill the surgeon I consult with actually perform my surgery? Is there any risk of ghost surgery?

AThe board-certified plastic surgeon who consults with you performs 100% of the surgery. Under Korean law requiring CCTV in operating rooms, our operating room CCTV is in operation to protect your rights as a patient.

QWhen can I fly home after surgery?

ACabin pressure changes can cause swelling or bleeding, so it is medically recommended to fly only after your stitches are removed (7-10 days after surgery). Rhinoplasty can be more sensitive to pressure changes, so it is safest to board after a final check with your surgeon.

QHow can I check that a clinic is safe and verified?

AAn objective indicator is the KAHF mark, the accreditation program designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare for medical institutions serving international patients. You can also verify that the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon on the Korean Society of Plastic Surgeons website.
