Midface Lift Cost in Seoul

Midface lift cost in Korea

How much does a midface lift cost in Seoul, Korea?

The short answer

On the fee sheet of Rewind Plastic Surgery, a practice in Apgujeong, Seoul, the apple-cheek midface lift appears on the clinic's fee sheet in three forms: on its own through the inner lining of the lower lid, combined with under-eye fat repositioning, and added to a lower blepharoplasty. Each is a fixed listed figure that already contains the anaesthetic fee, with VAT added on top, and all three are set out in the pricing section of this page. The figure you are quoted depends on what the examination finds under the eye and in the cheek, and it is given to you in writing ahead of any surgery date.

Figures come from Rewind's own fee sheet. The operation follows the clinic's Korean page for the apple-cheek midface lift. The clinic publishes neither the anaesthetic method nor the operating time, so neither is priced separately here.

Is a surgical midface lift more expensive than a midface thread lift? On Rewind's list it is: the thread programmes are priced well under the operation. The two buy different things, and the gap looks different once each figure is set against the length of time the clinic records for it. That comparison has its own place in the pricing section.

People pricing a midface lift from abroad often compare one number with one number. That works only when both numbers pay for the same route, the same fixation and the same scope. The sections below spell out what Rewind's figure pays for, what moves it from one listing to another, and which costs of a stay in Seoul it leaves out.

How a quote is built

Four findings that decide your midface lift listing

The listing is chosen by examination, in a fixed order. These are the questions Dr. Choi works through before any figure is written down.

01Bulge

Is the under-eye fat bulging?

If it is, repositioning joins the plan and the combined listing replaces the standalone one. If it is not, the standalone listing stays.

02Descent

How far has the cheek descended?

Descent held between the lower lid and the nasolabial fold points to the midface lift. Descent that continues into the jaw and neck points to a facelift, which Rewind prices on its own.

03Lid

Does the lid itself need surgery?

Where the skin and muscle of the lower lid need work, the add-on line for a lower blepharoplasty is used in place of the other two.

04Route

Which route suits the lid?

An incision inside the lid leaves the face uncut; one through the lid skin may leave a fine line under the lashes. The route is recorded in the plan alongside the listing.

Listed figures

Rewind's midface lift prices in Seoul

These are the clinic's standard listed figures. A quote uses one of the first three lines; the fourth is shown so the combined line can be read against its parts.

Standard listed figures before VAT; each includes the anaesthetic fee. The combined line prices two operations as one; the add-on line applies when a lower blepharoplasty is already part of the plan.

Threads sit on the same fee sheet as a non-surgical alternative. Rewind's no-incision fascia-anchored thread programme is listed at ₩1,580,000, and standard threads are priced one by one, PDO at ₩100,000 and PCL at ₩200,000. The clinic records about three to six months for PDO threads and about six to twelve months for PCL threads, against more than five years for the midface lift, with variation between individuals in each case.

Beyond the listed figure

Midface lift recovery costs that sit outside the fee

For someone flying in, the cost of the recovery period is mostly time. Rewind's midface lift page is brief on aftercare and publishes no day count for sutures, swelling or a return to work; those are set by the surgeon after the operation.

Surgery brings risks that no fee covers away: bleeding, infection, long-lasting swelling, scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation and a lower lid that sits differently. The clinic's record for the midface lift is a result lasting beyond five years, though individuals differ.
