VG Plastic Surgery

For international patients

You are not booking a procedure. You are planning a trip around one.

Flying to Seoul for surgery has two hard parts. The surgery is the one everyone talks about. The other is everything around it — arriving, being understood, knowing what happens on the day, and what happens once you are back home and something looks different in the mirror.

What you receive

What you actually get.

Every item below is included in your surgical quote unless it says otherwise.

A private one-to-one consultation room with a desk, chairs and a full-length mirror
This is the room your interpreter sits in with you — not a desk they get called over from.
A recovery room with a bed by the window and a wall-mounted medical gas panel
You spend an hour or two here after surgery. You do not wake up alone.
  • Someone waiting at Incheon with your name

    Round-trip airport transfer, arranged around your flight rather than a fixed schedule. If your flight moves, the pickup moves.

  • A hotel you can walk back to

    Partner hotels near the clinic, booked at negotiated rates. You will not be navigating Seoul traffic the day after surgery.

  • An interpreter in the room, not at the desk

    English interpretation through consultation, the design confirmation on the morning of surgery, and every follow-up visit.

  • One coordinator who knows your case

    The same person from your first message to your final check, so you never explain your history twice.

  • Post-operative care while you are here

    Scheduled dressing changes, checks and stitch removal during your stay, at times that fit the rest of your trip.

  • Three months of follow-up after you leave

    Photograph reviews at set intervals, written responses from your surgeon, and a video call when photographs are not enough.

  • Your records in English, in writing

    Medical certificate, operation record and post-operative instructions issued in English for your doctor, insurer or employer at home.

Surgery day

What actually happens on the day

The hardest part of having surgery abroad is not knowing how the day is shaped. We do not print clock times, because every patient is given a different slot. What follows is the order, and how long each stage takes.

  1. 0190 min before your slot

    Arrive at the clinic

    On foot from the partner hotel, or by transfer. Come with a clean face, no contact lenses, and no food since midnight.

  2. 0220–30 min

    Final consultation and design

    Your surgeon draws the plan on your face and goes through it with you, with the interpreter present. Nothing starts until you agree to what is drawn.

  3. 031–4 hours

    Surgery begins

    An anesthesiologist stays with you for the whole operation, monitoring blood pressure, pulse, oxygen and breathing continuously.

  4. 041–2 hours

    Recovery room

    You wake up under observation, not alone. Nursing staff stay with you until you are stable and alert.

  5. 05Once you are cleared

    Back to the hotel

    Your coordinator takes you back, with medication, written aftercare instructions in your language, and a number to reach at night.

  6. 06Next day

    First check

    A short visit to the clinic for dressing and a look at how the first night went. This one is not optional.

Operation length varies by procedure and by individual. The durations above cover most cases; your own schedule is confirmed in writing before the day.

Before you commit to anything

You can find out whether surgery is appropriate for you without buying a plane ticket.

Book a video consultation
  1. 01

    Video consultation with the surgeon

    Not a salesperson, not a chat agent. The surgeon who would operate looks at your photographs and tells you what is realistic.

  2. 02

    A written, itemised quote

    In your language, with what is included and what is not, before you decide anything.

  3. 03

    A direct answer, including no

    If your concern does not need surgery, or if this is not the right time, you will be told that.

Start with a conversation, not a booking

Send your photographs and what bothers you. A surgeon reviews them, and you get an honest answer before you spend anything on travel.

A few photos are enough to start. We'll tell you what is possible, what it would cost, and how many days you would need in Seoul — in English, before you book anything.
