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 | BANOBAGI's official price page is an inquiry page rather than a numeric surgical price list. Read the official informationThe official price page requests an inquiry rather than displaying a surgical tariff. | Its response should be normalized into the same scope and inclusion fields as any competing quote. Ask: Can the price inquiry response separate every procedure and state tax, currency, inclusions and validity? |
| BECOME Plastic Surgery 2F, Suite 201, IS Tower, 101 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea (Yeoksam-dong) Official location source | BECOME's English eye pages list procedures but no qualifying numeric procedure price. Read the official informationNo numeric price found on the inspected English treatment pages. | A current itemized written quote is required; no amount should be reconstructed from menu presence. Ask: Please itemize the exact procedure, additions, anesthesia, tests, tax, medication, follow-up and quote validity. |
| ID Hospital 142, Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | ID's price-inquiry page requests procedure and personal details for a later cost response and publishes no qualifying fixed amount. Read the official informationThe English site provides a price-inquiry route. | The returned quote needs the same procedure, tax and aftercare fields before comparison. Ask: Will the written response identify all added procedures, tax, anesthesia, tests, follow-up and cancellation terms? |
| VIEW Plastic Surgery 107, Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | VIEW's Korean table gives starting fees without stated tax treatment or sufficiently specific price conditions. Read the official informationA starting-fee table was located, but tax, scope and current applicability require confirmation. | A starting amount should not be treated as the final comparable quote. Ask: Please provide a current patient-specific total with procedure scope, tax, currency, inclusions and validity date. |

Normalize the procedure scope first
Two quotes with the same short label may describe different operations. One "double eyelid" quote may be crease surgery alone; another may include ptosis correction, fat work, canthoplasty, or revision. Have each clinic restate the plan using full procedure names and separate every added component. If one surgeon recommends a different plan, compare the diagnosis and reasoning before the total.
BECOME, BANOBAGI, ID and VIEW all publish relevant eye categories, but none provides a qualifying current price that can replace a personal written quote for this exercise. Public menu presence is evidence of a category, not a final bill.
Put every financial term on one page
Record the quoted currency and whether tax is included. Add the consultation fee, anesthesia, tests, operating room, medication, garments or dressings, postoperative treatments, suture removal, translator support, and remote follow-up. Then record deposit, payment method, refund and cancellation terms, revision policy, and the date the price expires.
Use a quote-normalization sheet

A blank or vague field is a question for the clinic, not a reason to guess.
Have both clinics identify which costs could still change after the face-to-face examination. A quote that allows additions without a stated approval process is harder to compare. Request an updated total before consent whenever the procedure, anesthesia, facility plan or follow-up schedule changes.
Compare clinical responsibilities as well as cost
Identify who performs the examination, surgery, anesthesia and follow-up. Confirm the language used for consent and urgent communication. Determine what happens if the plan changes after an in-person examination or if a complication requires care after you return home. Travel, accommodation and time away from work may matter, but they should remain separate from the clinic's medical quote.
The NHS surgery-abroad guidance recommends checking qualifications, language, aftercare, complications, insurance and return travel. Its advice is general and does not set Korean law or individual flight clearance, so obtain clinic-specific instructions.
Use only prices with complete terms
An expired promotion, a starting-fee table without tax terms, or an inquiry form cannot supply a comparable current total. BANOBAGI and ID use inquiry paths. BECOME's cited English eye pages list no numeric price. VIEW's Korean starting-fee table omits tax and sufficiently specific price conditions. Use current written quotes instead.
The NHS eyelid guide recommends accounting for consultation, possible further surgery and follow-up. The ASPS safety page lists risks that may require care. Compare scope, price and aftercare together. The procedure choice still requires individualized assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Should I compare quotes in KRW or convert them?
Keep the original KRW figures and quote dates. Currency conversion can be shown separately because exchange rates change.
Can I use a starting price as the final estimate?
No. First identify the scope, tax and conditions excluded from the starting amount.
What if the clinics recommend different procedures?
The quotes are not directly comparable. Compare the examination findings and reasons, then request revised itemized options if appropriate.
