Breast augmentation in Seoul for international patients

Ryan Plastic Surgery is a single-surgeon clinic in Gangnam, Seoul. Dr. Sangmun Choi consults in English, performs every surgery personally, and reviews recovery himself. This page explains how a visit from abroad usually works.

Planning your visit

Your visit, step by step

  1. Online consultation

    Send your goals, a short medical history, and photos through the booking form, WhatsApp, or email. We reply within 1 business day. A video or email consultation with Dr. Choi follows. Final planning still requires an in-person examination.

  2. In-person consultation in Seoul

    Examination and measurements, photographs, implant sizing, and Crisalix 3D simulation as a planning aid, not a prediction of the result. Dr. Choi discusses implant options, incision, placement, risks, and recovery. Surgery can be scheduled as early as the day after your consultation when the assessment allows, so the consultation and the surgery fit into one trip.

  3. Surgery day

    A board-certified anesthesiologist is present for every procedure, the operating room is recorded on CCTV and available for patient review on request, and Dr. Choi performs the surgery from start to finish. Same-day discharge may be possible when clinically appropriate after postoperative assessment.

  4. Early recovery in Seoul

    Plan approximately 5-7 days in Seoul for surgery and the first follow-up check; the recommended stay varies with individual assessment and travel readiness. Stay close to the clinic for the first days and have a responsible adult with you for the first 24-72 hours.

  5. Follow-up after you return home

    Scheduled check-ups at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and annually thereafter. Surgeon-performed ultrasound is done at in-person visits. Patients abroad arrange follow-up with the clinic through the contact channels below. Keep your implant identification and Motiva warranty details.

For international patients

Confirmed international procedure prices

Confirmed English platform listings in KRW. They are provided for planning and are not a guarantee of an individual surgical plan.

Listed inclusions: Both platform listings state that VAT, anesthetic fees, and aftercare fees are included.

Preservé uses a single-use balloon dissector that cannot be reused, adding to the procedure cost. The difference in the listed procedure prices should not be interpreted as the price of this device alone. The appropriate surgical approach is determined after an individual assessment.

These are distinct listed procedures: Standard Motiva breast augmentation should not be read as a Preservé price. Your individual quotation confirms the included scope and any additional procedure. For items not listed here, including medication or compression garments, the final quotation will state whether they are included or separate.
