The cost of skin grafting in South Korea typically ranges from $6,900 to $9,000. Prices can vary depending on the size and location of the graft, the surgeon’s experience, and whether the procedure is split-thickness or full-thickness. In the United States, the average cost is $26,500 (per ASPS). This means skin grafting in South Korea is about 70% less than in the U.S.
