The cost of upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) in South Korea typically ranges from $1,400 to $3,400. Pricing varies depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s expertise, the complexity of the eyelid correction, and whether local or sedation anesthesia is used. In the United States, the average cost is $5,500 (per ASPS). This means upper eyelid surgery in South Korea is about 56% less than in the U.S.
South Korean clinics generally include the initial consultation, pre-op tests, surgery, anesthesia, medications, and follow-up visits in the quoted price. In the U.S., costs often cover only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, facility, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm what’s included in the package at each clinic.
