Under Eye Fat Repositioning Cost in Korea
Introduction
Under eye fat repositioning is a popular eyelid rejuvenation option in Korea for patients who want to smooth eye bags, reduce hollowness, and brighten the under-eye area without visible scars. It differs from simple fat removal by redistributing the fat to fill hollows and produce a natural, youthful contour.
Below is a realistic cost guide specifically for Korea’s market in 2026.
Typical Cost Range in Korea
In Korea, the cost of under eye fat repositioning generally falls into these ranges:
Standard Under Eye Fat Repositioning
• ₩2,000,000 – ₩3,500,000 KRW (approx. ~$1,500 – $2,600 USD) — basic fat repositioning without major extras.
Combined With Lower Blepharoplasty
• ₩3,500,000 – ₩5,500,000 KRW (approx. ~$2,600 – $4,000 USD) — when fat repositioning is paired with skin tightening or removal.
Clinic-Level & Promotions
Discounted or promotional pricing has been found at some Seoul clinics with prices as low as ~$600 – $1,400 USD for select fat repositioning procedures, though these may vary by provider and package level.
What Influences the Cost?
1. Extent of Repositioning Needed
More extensive repositioning for severe eye bags or deep hollows costs more.
2. Combination Procedures
Combining repositioning with lower blepharoplasty (removing extra skin) raises the total price.
3. Surgeon Experience & Clinic Reputation
Clinics in Seoul’s premium districts (such as Gangnam or Apgujeong) often charge higher fees due to experience and demand. 강남성형외과
4. Anesthesia & Facility Fees
Some packages may include anesthesia, facility use, and follow-up care; others may list them separately.
What’s Usually Included in the Price
Most reputable clinics’ prices include:
- Surgeon’s fee
- Operating room & facility fee
- Anesthesia (local or sedation)
- Basic post-operative care
- Follow-up consultations
However, confirm inclusions beforehand, as international coordination or add-ons (like laser toning or PDRN injections) can add to the final bill.
How It Compares With Other Eye Procedures
For context, lower eyelid surgery (general blepharoplasty) in Korea often ranges around ₩1,500,000 – ₩3,000,000 KRW ($1,100 – $2,250), with price varying by technique and clinic. Korea Health Pages
Under eye fat repositioning specifically is typically slightly higher than simple removal due to the surgical precision required.
Recovery Expectations (Brief)
- Swelling/Bruising: Most noticeable in the first 5–10 days
- Return to Daily Life: Many patients resume normal activities after ~1–2 weeks
- Incisions: Typically internal (no visible scars)
Recovery details vary by individual, so always follow your surgeon’s instructions.
Is It Worth the Cost?
Under eye fat repositioning is best for patients who:
✔ Have pronounced eye bags or hollowness
✔ Want a natural, balanced contour rather than just fat removal
✔ Are seeking long-lasting correction of under-eye contour
✔ Prefer no external scars
If the main issue is excess skin rather than fat bulge, combining with lower blepharoplasty may be recommended (and is reflected in the cost range).
Final Thoughts
Prices for under eye fat repositioning in Korea typically range from ~₩2,000,000 to ₩5,500,000 KRW depending on complexity and whether it’s combined with lower blepharoplasty or other refinements. This makes Korea a competitive and quality-focused destination for under-eye rejuvenation compared to many Western markets.
