Busan (Seomyeon) is one of the stronger districts for double eyelid surgery. Double eyelid surgery in Korea costs roughly 1 to 4 million KRW (about 750 to 3,000 USD), with non-incisional suture methods at the low end and incisional methods with ptosis correction at the high end. It is the single most performed aesthetic surgery in the country, and stitches typically come out on day five to seven.

Seomyeon is the center of Busan's clinic district, with Haeundae holding a smaller cluster aimed at visitors. For patients already traveling, combining a procedure with recovery by the coast is a genuine draw. Fewer clinics staff full-time interpreters, so confirm language support before booking.
The ranges below are the Seoul-wide figures we publish for double eyelid surgery. Busan clinics typically quote 15 to 25 percent below Seoul figures. Quoted prices in Korea normally include anesthesia and facility use, which are billed separately in many other markets, so compare the all-in figure rather than the surgeon's fee alone.
| Method | Typical range (KRW) | USD estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Non-incisional (buried suture) | 1.0M - 2.0M | $750 - $1,500 |
| Partial incision | 1.5M - 2.5M | $1,100 - $1,900 |
| Full incision | 2.0M - 3.5M | $1,500 - $2,600 |
| With ptosis correction | 2.5M - 4.5M | $1,900 - $3,400 |
| Epicanthoplasty (add-on) | 0.8M - 1.5M | $600 - $1,100 |
| Revision eyelid surgery | 3.0M - 6.0M | $2,200 - $4,500 |

5 clinics on this site list an address in Busan (Seomyeon), and the district centres on Seomyeon Station, Haeundae. Practices are more spread out here than in the Gangnam corridor, so allow travel time between consultations. Recovery for double eyelid surgery runs to about 5 to 7 days before desk work, so choose accommodation you can reach without a long transfer, and book the follow-up appointment before you leave the clinic rather than trying to arrange it later. Seomyeon is the center of Busan's clinic district, with Haeundae holding a smaller cluster aimed at visitors. For patients already traveling, combining a procedure with recovery by the coast is a genuine draw. Fewer clinics staff full-time interpreters, so confirm language support before booking.
Three questions separate a clinic worth a deposit from one worth leaving. Ask whether the surgeon who consults is the surgeon who operates, and get the answer in writing. Ask for an itemised quote that splits the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility use and follow-up visits. Ask what the revision policy covers, what window it runs for, and what you would still pay. A clinic that answers all three concretely is doing the work; a clinic that answers with reassurance is selling.
