Liposuction in Apgujeong, Seoul
Apgujeong is not the largest cluster for liposuction, but the listings below cover it. Liposuction in Korea costs roughly 1.5 to 18 million KRW (about 1,100 to 13,500 USD) depending on how many areas you treat, and Seoul's Gangnam district holds the highest concentration of liposuction-specialized clinics in the country. Most foreign patients complete consultation, surgery, and the first follow-up within a single week, though full results take 8 to 12 weeks to settle.

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.
Liposuction cost in Apgujeong
The ranges below are the Seoul-wide figures we publish for liposuction. 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.

|---|---|---|
| Abdomen | 3.5M - 6.5M | $2,600 - $4,800 |
| Upper arms | 2.0M - 4.0M | $1,500 - $3,000 |
| Thighs (full) | 4.0M - 7.0M | $3,000 - $5,200 |

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 liposuction runs to about 2 to 4 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. 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.
