Revision Facelift Cost in Korea (2026 Guide)

A revision facelift (a second facelift surgery) is usually more expensive than a primary facelift due to increased surgical complexity, scar tissue management, deeper tissue work, and customized planning.

💰 Typical Price Ranges

Revision Facelift Surgery in Korea

• Roughly ₩12,000,000 to ₩20,000,000+ (about $8,400–$14,000+ USD) depending on case complexity and clinic quality.

For reference, general facelift costs in Korea (first-time) are typically:

• Full facelift: ~₩10M–₩15M (~$7,000–$10,500 USD)
• Deep plane facelift: ~₩12M–₩18M (~$8,400–$12,600 USD)

Since revision cases require additional technical skill and often longer surgery time, the starting price is usually at least similar to or higher than a deep-plane facelift.

🧠 What Influences Revision Facelift Cost

1. Surgical complexity

• Previous scars and altered anatomy make a second surgery more technically demanding.
• Surgeons often need more time and specialized technique.

2. Surgeon experience

• Highly experienced surgeons and those with strong revision case portfolios often charge on the higher end.

3. Type of revision

• Some revisions focus on subtle tightening, while others require full structural re-lifts or combination with neck lift, which increases costs.

4. Clinic reputation & location

• Premium clinics in Seoul / Gangnam typically cost more than smaller clinics outside major hubs.

5. Additional procedures

• Fat grafting, neck lift, or scar revision may be added and billed separately.

💡 Comparison: Korea vs. Other Countries

Cosmetic surgery in Korea is internationally competitive:

• Average first-time facelifts in Korea often range broadly but tend to cost 30–50% less than in Western countries when comparing similar expertise and results.

However, revision surgeries—even in Korea—can reach or exceed typical first-time prices due to the specialized nature of the operation.
