Facelift in Apgujeong, Seoul
Apgujeong is one of the stronger districts for facelift. A facelift in Korea costs roughly 8 to 25 million KRW (about 6,000 to 18,700 USD) depending on whether the surgeon works in the SMAS layer or the deep plane, and how much of the neck is included. Stitches come out between day 7 and 10, swelling settles over 4 to 8 weeks, and the result continues to refine for six months.

Why Apgujeong
Apgujeong Rodeo and the surrounding Sinsa-dong blocks host the clinics with the longest waiting lists and the highest fees. Surgeons here often hold university hospital appointments and take fewer cases per day. Expect consultation fees, longer lead times, and pricing 20 to 40 percent above the Gangnam Station average for the same procedure.

The ranges below are the Seoul-wide figures we publish for facelift. Clinics in this district typically quote 20 to 40 percent above that range. 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.

|---|---|---|
| Mini facelift (lower face) | 6.0M - 12.0M | $4,500 - $9,000 |
| SMAS facelift | 8.0M - 15.0M | $6,000 - $11,200 |
| Deep plane facelift | 15.0M - 25.0M | $11,200 - $18,700 |

Planning a visit to Apgujeong
11 clinics on this site list an address in Apgujeong, and the district centres on Apgujeong Rodeo Station, Cheongdam-dong. Clinics here sit within a few blocks of each other, so booking two consultations on the same day is realistic. Recovery for facelift runs to about 2 to 3 weeks 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. Apgujeong Rodeo and the surrounding Sinsa-dong blocks host the clinics with the longest waiting lists and the highest fees. Surgeons here often hold university hospital appointments and take fewer cases per day. Expect consultation fees, longer lead times, and pricing 20 to 40 percent above the Gangnam Station average for the same procedure.
Questions to ask a Apgujeong clinic
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.
