Liposuction cost in Korea & VAT refund
Liposuction cost in Korea depends on the areas and volume, and is confirmed after consultation. Eligible international patients can also claim a VAT refund on qualifying cosmetic procedures. Royal Line provides a transparent quote and the required documentation.
For international patients, cost and the VAT refund are two of the most common questions. This article explains how pricing is quoted and how Korea's medical-tourism VAT refund works. We do not publish fixed prices, because the cost depends on your individual plan.
How cost is decided
Liposuction cost is driven by the areas treated and the volume — a single area differs from multi-area contouring, and revision is quoted individually. Because these vary by person, the final cost is confirmed in consultation. Rather than a fixed public price, Royal Line gives a transparent, personalised quote before you decide.
| Case | How it is quoted |
|---|---|
| Single area (e.g. arms) | Quoted per area after review |
| Multi-area contouring | Depends on areas & volume |
| Revision liposuction | Quoted individually after review |
VAT refund for medical tourists
Under Korea's medical-tourism VAT refund scheme, eligible international patients can receive a value-added-tax refund on qualifying cosmetic procedures. Royal Line issues the required documentation and guides you through the refund process at departure. Eligibility and details are confirmed during your visit.
Think of cost in two parts: a personalised quote confirmed in consultation, and a possible VAT refund you can claim on departure if eligible.
Getting a quote before you travel
Through a video consultation, you share your goals and photos and receive an indicative price range before committing to travel. English-speaking staff and a Japanese coordinator support the process, so you can ask about pricing, scheduling and recovery in your own language.
Notes
- All figures are indicative and confirmed in consultation, not a fixed quotation.
- VAT refund eligibility follows Korea's medical-tourism refund scheme.
