Forehead Reduction Cost in Seoul

Forehead reduction surgery cost in Korea

How much does forehead reduction surgery cost at Rewind in Seoul?

The short answer

Rewind Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong publishes one fixed figure for forehead reduction with Endotine fixation, and that figure is set out in the pricing section of this page. It already contains the anaesthetic fee; VAT is added on top of it. A second listing covers the hairline lowered and the brow lifted in the same operation, for faces where both are needed. Which of the two you are quoted depends on what the in-person examination finds, and the figure is written down for you before a date is offered.

Figures come only from the clinic's surgical fee sheet. The description of the operation follows Rewind's Korean surgical page for forehead reduction. That page does not state the anaesthetic method or the time spent in theatre, so neither is priced or estimated separately here.

A fee for hairline lowering is easier to judge once you know what surgery it buys. At Rewind the listed operation opens the hairline on a 45-degree oblique line, frees the scalp behind it, removes the strip of forehead skin left over once the border has moved forward, and holds the advanced tissue with Endotine while the wound is closed. The dissection is done under a Full HD endoscope. All of that sits inside one figure, performed by one surgeon.

Patients comparing prices from abroad often ask why a Seoul quote can come in below a figure from home. Rewind publishes no comparison with prices in the United States or anywhere else, and this page will not invent one. What can be compared, line by line, is what each quote includes: the anaesthetic fee, the fixation device, the dressing and follow-up, and the tax treatment. Flights and nights in Seoul then go on top of the Seoul figure, which the sections below set out.

From examination to written figure

How a hairline lowering quote is reached at Rewind

The figure you receive is the output of an examination, and it follows the examination step by step. Nothing here is priced by the centimetre on a menu; the clinic reads the forehead first and then matches it to a listing.

01Proportion

Is the forehead long for this particular face?

Rewind designs the new line against the balance of the whole face. A tall forehead on a long face and the same forehead on a short face are different findings, and the first question is whether reduction is the right answer at all.

02Laxity

How far will your scalp let the border travel?

The amount of change is limited by how much the scalp behind the hairline will stretch forward. That is judged by hand on you, so a photograph can suggest whether the operation fits but cannot fix the plan.

03Brow

Has the brow descended as well?

If the brow sits low over tired upper lids, lowering the hairline alone leaves half of the problem untouched. In that case the combined forehead lift and forehead reduction listing replaces the standalone figure, and it is quoted as one amount.

04Paper

The written plan you take away

It names the listing, notes that the anaesthetic fee is inside it and shows VAT as its own addition. Anything you decline comes off before a date is offered, and the surgeon who wrote it is the one who operates.

05Unlisted

What this page does not price

The clinic does not publish the anaesthetic method, the operating time or the day sutures come out for this operation. Each one is settled with you at the examination, so it never arrives later as a surprise figure.

Listed figures

Rewind's listed forehead reduction prices in Gangnam, Seoul

These are the standard figures on the clinic's fee sheet. A forehead quote uses the first or the second line; the third is shown so the combined figure can be read against the lift on its own.

Read the lines as a set. The standalone reduction at ₩4,500,000 and the forehead lift at ₩4,500,000 are two operations; when the examination finds both a long forehead and a low brow, they are planned together under the single combined figure of ₩8,500,000.

Standard listed figures before VAT, each already carrying the anaesthetic fee. The applicable line is written into your plan at consultation, ahead of any surgery date. Photo-based estimates sent before a visit show which line looks likely; they are replaced by the written figure once you have been examined.

Beyond the listed figure

What a forehead reduction trip to Seoul adds to the fee

For someone flying in, the fee is one part of the budget. Rewind's instructions after this operation are short, and each of them turns into nights in Seoul or restrictions you take home. The surgical risks belong in the same budget: bleeding, infection, a scar that widens or stays visible at the hairline, numbness or changed sensation in the scalp, shedding of hair near the incision, a new border that is uneven between the two sides, and the possibility of a further operation.

An outcome cannot be promised, and results differ between individuals. Severe pain, fever or a wound that opens after you leave Seoul is a reason to contact the clinic straight away. The date you can fly is confirmed by the surgeon after the wound has been reviewed.
