Clinic information and questions to ask
On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to read every column.
| Clinic and published location | Published information | Points to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| BANOBAGI Plastic Surgery 517 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | The English price page is an inquiry route rather than a numeric surgical price list. Read the official information | A price response should be paired with the current deposit terms and included items. Ask: What deposit applies to this quote, and which written terms govern it? |
| BECOME Plastic Surgery 2F, Suite 201, IS Tower, 101 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea (Yeoksam-dong) Official location source | The English homepage publishes LINE, WhatsApp and email, while inspected treatment pages did not show numeric procedure prices. Read the official information | Use the official channel to request current deposit and cancellation terms rather than assuming them. Ask: Please send the deposit purpose, cancellation milestones and payment recipient in writing. |
| ID Hospital 142, Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | The official price inquiry page collects procedure details so the hospital can reply after confirmation. Read the official information | Ask the reply to separate a provisional quote from any payable reservation amount. Ask: When does a quote become payable, and what changes if the on-site plan differs? |
| VIEW Plastic Surgery 107, Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | The English quick consultation form collects contact and consultation-area details but does not itself state a deposit policy. Read the official information | Request the current controlling payment terms before transferring money. Ask: Which document sets the deposit, cancellation and plan-change rules? |

A contact page is not a deposit policy
Official English pages can show where to ask, but they do not automatically state binding payment terms. BECOME lists English-labeled messaging and email on its homepage. BANOBAGI provides direct contact through its price inquiry page. ID offers a price inquiry route on its official English page, while VIEW provides a quick consultation form. Use those routes to request the latest written terms. Request the clinic's own cancellation rules; policies from other clinics may differ.
Ask whether the terms are supplied before the payment screen and whether the English version matches the document that legally controls the transaction.
Tie the deposit to a named purpose and a change process
Ask whether the payment holds a consultation, operating slot, clinician, procedure or a package of services. Then ask what happens if the in-person examination changes the plan, if you decline an added procedure, if the assigned clinician changes or if travel disruption prevents attendance. The NHS surgery-abroad guidance advises travelers to discuss language, aftercare, complications, insurance and return travel before booking. The ASPS eyelid safety guidance lists possible revision and other risks. Those uncertainties make a written change and cancellation process more useful than a simple "deposit paid" message.
Ask whether the clinic offers time to reconsider the booking and how this affects cancellation charges.
Create a deposit record before transferring money
Keep every payment fact in one dated record.
Sample deposit checklist
- Clinic's legal payment recipient and bank or card descriptor
- Amount, currency and date due
- Procedure or reservation the deposit relates to
- Tax and payment-fee treatment, if stated
- Cancellation milestones and amount retained at each stage
- Rule for clinician, date or procedure changes
- Refund method, currency and expected processing route
Ask for a translation of the controlling terms rather than relying on an informal summary. Save the version you accepted and the receipt. Do not send money to a personal account without a clear written explanation and independent confirmation through the clinic's official channel.
Pause when the quote and terms do not match
Compare the procedure name, deposit purpose and cancellation wording across the quote, invoice and message thread. If one document says "consultation reservation" and another says "surgery deposit," ask which document controls. If the plan changes after arrival, request a revised itemized quote and written effect on the deposit before signing or paying more. Keep the final quote and accepted terms together so you can refer to the same agreement if plans change.
Frequently asked questions
Is a deposit always refundable?
Do not assume either way. Request the clinic's current written terms and the milestones that change the refundable amount.
Should I pay before meeting the clinician?
Ask what the payment reserves and what happens if the in-person plan changes. Decide only after reading the terms.
What records should I keep?
Keep the quote, terms, invoice, payment receipt, bank or card confirmation and all later revisions.
