Busan The Face Plastic Surgery Price List 2026: $300 for 850,000 KRW – How to budget for the 9-story clinic? 8 key price considerations

After the previous article covering an overall review of THE FACE Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Busan, the most common question from readers wasn’t “Who is the director?” but rather “How exactly are the prices calculated?” Indeed, while their official website doesn’t list a complete price sheet, BeautsGO and several other third-party platforms clearly state the prices for the American version of the second-generation HIFU: 300 sessions at ₩850,000, and 600 sessions at ₩1.7 million. The problem is that once you arrive at the clinic, you’re often asked whether you’d like to add Magpie therapy, hyaluronic acid treatments, or whether consultation fees apply separately—all of which can easily double your budget.

In this article, I’ll take a “realistic budgeting” approach by compiling THE FACE’s publicly available reference prices into a 2026 price guide, along with 8 key factors to keep in mind when it comes to costs. This isn’t meant as a recommendation, but rather to help you have a clear idea before making inquiries so you won’t be misled by sales tactics on the spot.

Why create this price list separately?

While researching information about THE FACE, I noticed something interesting: the listed price for the American version of the second-generation HIFU is quite attractive, but for almost all other services, it simply says “Please inquire with the clinic.” This isn’t an issue unique to THE FACE—many plastic surgery clinics in South Korea do the same. For procedures like surgeries, Thermage, and lasers that require a high degree of customization, the price indeed depends on individual facial conditions. However, for international clients who don’t have any reference prices beforehand, it’s easy to get confused by terms like “package deals,” “member rates,” or “limited-time offers” once they arrive at the clinic.

So the logic behind organizing this table is to list the prices that are already available, mark those that aren’t as “requires in-person consultation,” and tell you what questions to ask during the consultation. This way, you won’t make a hasty decision just because the price seems low, nor will you feel misled since other services don’t have pricing listed.

THE FACE 2026 Reveals Estimated Price List

The prices listed below are taken from publicly available information on platforms such as BeautsGO, 8682.cc, and Cashdoc, and are denoted in South Korean won. Actual quotes may vary depending on promotions, exchange rates, and individual circumstances, so it’s recommended to verify them when seeking a quote.

How should I allocate the actual budget? I’ve calculated 3 different combinations.

Looking at just the individual prices isn’t enough—when going to South Korea for medical aesthetics treatments, it’s common to opt for package deals. Below, using THE FACE’s publicly listed prices, we’ve estimated three typical budget ranges (all for reference only and do not include accommodation or flight costs).

Combination Project Reference Total Price
Mild Firming Group US Version 2nd Generation HIFU: 300 shots + Basic Glow Therapy Around ₩1.2–1.4 million
Full Face Tightening Package American version of 2nd-generation HIFU: 600 shots + Thermage FLX + hyaluronic acid treatment Approximately 2.5–3.5 million KRW (the price for Thermage is subject to the hospital’s quote).
Combined Improvement Set American version of 2nd-generation HIFU – 600 shots + Pico/Clarity2 + Filler Approximately 2.5–4 million KRW (laser and Filler prices are subject to the clinic’s quote).

A special reminder here: “Package deals” are usually cheaper than adding up the individual prices, but exactly how much cheaper they are and what post-treatment care is included must be clearly specified during the consultation. Don’t just rely on the individual prices listed on BeautsGO and assume that the package price at the clinic will definitely equal the sum of those individual prices.

The laser skin treatment room is located on the 7th floor of THE FACE Plastic Surgery.

8 Key Things to Keep in Mind When Understanding Prices

Focus Point 1|The US version of the second-generation HIFU: 300 pulses vs. 600 pulses – it’s not just “buy more, get less”

300 sessions cost ₩850,000, while 600 sessions cost ₩1.7 million — the price per session is almost identical. However, 300 sessions are suitable for targeted areas, whereas 600 sessions are better for treating the entire face. If you only want to address your Nasolabial Fold Correction or chin lines, 300 sessions will suffice; for full-face lifting, 600 sessions are more appropriate. The most costly mistake is to opt for partial treatment when a full-face treatment would be necessary, as it will result in higher costs for additional sessions later on.

Focus Point 2|Why Doesn’t Thermage Release Its Price?

The price of Thermage depends on the number of probes used (600 shots, 900 shots, 1200 shots), the treatment area (eyes, face, body), and whether they are original equipment. THE FACE emphasizes personalized consultations by its director and the use of original equipment. While its Thermage quotes may not be the lowest on the market, it’s important to clarify exactly how many shots are included, whether eye area treatment is covered, and whether you can inspect the probes on site.

Focus Point 3|Which is more expensive—Onda, Shrink, or Inmode? How should they be used together?

All three of these are auxiliary devices used for tightening or fat dissolving treatments. Generally, Inmode and Onda have similar pricing, while Shrink targets more localized areas. A common combination is using “Ultherapy” along with Inmode for tightening, or Onda combined with Botox to address excess flesh around the mouth. It’s recommended not to do all of them at once—pick one main treatment first, and add more if the results aren’t sufficient.

Focus Point 4|The Most Common Mistakes with Injectable Treatments: Units, Centum Core Quantities, and Formulations

Botox is usually priced per unit, while Filler is priced based on the number of centum core. For water injection treatments, the cost depends on the number of injections or the specific product used. Even for the same procedure of getting Filler injected, the price difference between 1 cc of Juvederm and 1 cc of domestically produced Filler can be more than twice. When seeking consultation, make sure to ask about the brand name, formulation, volume, and whether tax is included.

Minimally invasive procedures are carried out in the operating room on the 2nd floor; injections and minor cosmetic treatments take place here.
The recovery room is situated on the 6th floor of THE FACE Plastic Surgery.

Focus Point 5|Should laser treatments be counted by “sessions” or “shots”?

For Pico, Clarity2, and CO2 treatments, the common pricing methods are “one session” or “one treatment area.” If a clinic mentions “Pico at XX million won,” make sure to clarify whether it refers to a full-face treatment or just a partial area. For acne scar treatment with CO2, pricing is sometimes based on the number of shots or the treatment area, and post-procedure recovery products may incur additional costs.

Focus Point 6|Why Are Surgery Quotes Almost Never Made Public?

Double eyelid surgery, as well as nose reshaping and facelift procedures, depend on an individual’s physical conditions and the complexity of the surgery. It’s necessary to have a face-to-face consultation with the clinic director, and sometimes even a 3D-CT scan, before a quote can be provided. It’s recommended to share your budget range with the clinic so they can suggest options within that limit. Avoid asking overly general questions like “How much does Double eyelid surgery cost?”—otherwise, you’ll likely receive a very wide range of prices.

Focus Point 7|Check the details on “package deals” and “limited-time offers”

South Korea’s clinics often offer packages such as “Botox + Thermage” or “same-day booking discounts.” While these deals are available, it’s important to verify whether the original equipment remains unchanged, whether the number of treatments is reduced, how many follow-up care sessions are included, and what the terms are for cancellation or rescheduling. If the cheapest package doesn’t include post-treatment care, subsequent repairs might end up costing even more.

Focus Point 8|Does the quote include tax? Are there any additional fees for post-operative care?

In South Korea, cosmetic surgery quotes are available in both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive versions. The tax-exclusive price may seem cheaper, but a 10% value-added tax still applies when paying by card or in cash. Additionally, post-operative care, sedation, and aftercare creams are sometimes charged separately. It’s recommended to ask the clinic to provide a detailed list showing the “final total amount due” rather than relying solely on an oral quote.

The reception and waiting area is found on the 9th floor of THE FACE Plastic Surgery.
Surgery rooms are located on the 4th and 5th floors of THE FACE Plastic Surgery.

Who is this price list meant for?

This table will be useful to you if you… I recommend getting quotes from other providers; if you…
Looking to find out the official reference price for the US version of the second-generation HIFU I hope all items have their prices publicly listed online.
Planning a medical beauty trip to Seomyeon – need to know the budget range. Only want to do basic, low-cost skin care without an in-person consultation
Willing to go to the site and verify each item with questions in hand Prefers purely online quotes and dislikes “contacting the clinic directly”
Considering both surgical and non-surgical options, I’d like to plan my budget first. The budget is extremely fixed, with no room for any additional items.

My honest conclusion

THE FACE’s second-generation U.S.-version HIFU indeed offers competitive prices in Seomyeon: 300 sessions for 850,000 won, and 600 sessions for 1.7 million won, which can serve as good reference points. However, if you’re planning to undergo multiple treatments together, the actual cost will depend on an in-person consultation at the clinic. My advice is to first determine which treatments are “must-have” and which are optional, then take this list to your consultation and ask the clinic to provide quotes based on priority. Avoid asking right from the start how much it would cost to do everything at once—this is when you’re most likely to end up paying a bundled price.

Additionally, while price is an important factor, equipment certification, doctors’ qualifications, and post-operative care also play a role in determining the final outcome and cost. THE FACE features a 9-story facility along with a personalized consultation system by the director—these elements add to the overall cost and are reflected in the quote. Whether it’s right for you depends on whether you prioritize “the lowest price” or “a clear and transparent process.”
