Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is general anesthesia required, or is comfortable twilight sedation used?

Question 6

Are there hidden charges for prescription medications or pharmacy items?

Accepted Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Why do revision under-eye surgeries cost more than primary procedures?

Accepted Answer

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.
