No. SINSA L enforces identical, transparent pricing for both domestic Korean and international patients. You will never encounter inflated medical agency fees, translator commission markups, or hidden surgical add-ons.
Is general anesthesia required, or is comfortable twilight sedation used?
Surgery at SINSA L is safely conducted under comfortable IV twilight sedation (MAC anesthesia) combined with local anesthesia, never general anesthesia. You sleep painlessly throughout the procedure and awaken promptly without nausea or prolonged grogginess.
Are post-operative check-ups, stitch removal, and aftercare included?
Yes. All post-operative clinical evaluations, suture removals, and medical swelling reduction LED laser recovery treatments performed at SINSA L are entirely included in your surgical quote with zero unexpected fees.
How can I receive a personalized price quote before flying to Seoul?

Are there hidden charges for prescription medications or pharmacy items?
No hidden clinic fees. All in-clinic medical supplies, anesthesia, and surgical care are bundled. The only separate fee is standard take-home prescription eye drops and antibiotics dispensed by external retail pharmacies, typically costing ~₩20,000 to ₩30,000 KRW.
What payment methods and split-payment options are available?
We accept major international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, UnionPay, JCB) as well as Korean Won cash. Patients can split charges across multiple cards or combine cash and card payments seamlessly.
Why do revision under-eye surgeries cost more than primary procedures?
Revision under-eye fat repositioning is ₩3,300,000 KRW (~$2,500 USD) because they require intricate surgical dissection through dense scar tissue, restoration of previously damaged retaining ligaments, and secondary structural fat reconstruction.
