To confirm your surgery date, we ask for a deposit of approximately 10% of your estimated treatment cost, typically paid in advance via PayPal. This deposit secures your spot in Dr. Kim's schedule once your surgical plan is finalized.
The remaining balance is paid at the clinic on the day of your surgery, before the procedure begins. Most patients pay this by credit card. Since not all cards work smoothly for international transactions in Korea, we recommend checking with your card issuer beforehand to confirm your card will work for an overseas payment of this size.
Consultation Tip
Ask in advance which items could potentially add to your total cost — such as rib cartilage harvesting, combination procedures, or extra follow-up visits — so you know the full range of possibilities before your final price is confirmed. It's also worth calling your card issuer a few days before your trip to enable international payments and confirm your transaction limit covers the remaining balance.
