How much does stem cell breast augmentation cost in Korea and what is included in the price?

None of the sources cited here gives a standard price for SVF (stem cell) breast augmentation in Korea. The procedure is elective and not covered by insurance. In Korea, clinics must disclose fees for non-insured services (비급여 진료비), and the same procedure is often quoted differently from clinic to clinic.

Factors that change the price

• Liposuction and harvest: the number of donor areas and how much fat is taken.[1][4]
• Graft volume and number of sessions: some grafted fat is reabsorbed, so more than one session may be needed.[7]
• SVF processing: how the cells are isolated and mixed with the fat (cell-assisted lipotransfer).[5]
• Cell banking: optional cryopreservation of fat or cells for later use, which may be charged separately. Evidence on how freezing affects SVF viability is still developing.[2][6]
• Anesthesia, pre-operative breast imaging, garments, follow-up visits and revision policy.

What to request in writing

1. An itemized quote that lists everything included and everything excluded.
2. The clinic's designation as an advanced regenerative medicine institution and its cell processing facility permission. You can check both on the K-ARM portal.[8][9]
3. For international patients: the clinic's foreign-patient registration, and the cost of interpreters, accommodation and remote follow-up.[3]

Discuss expected results, the likelihood of extra sessions and the complication policy with a board-certified plastic surgeon before you compare prices.
