Labiaplasty cost and price in Korea
A labiaplasty Korea price is only useful if you know what it covers. At Gangnam Podo Women's Clinic in Seoul, laser labiaplasty is listed from USD 3,200 on the clinic's 2026 international patient fee schedule, with sedation included. What you pay depends on the technique, whether other procedures are combined and the anesthesia plan, so a written estimate after consultation confirms the items that apply to your case. This page sets out the listed prices, how the quote works, what it includes, how payment and insurance documents work for foreigners and international patients, and how to compare a quote from Seoul with one from home.

What the 2026 fee schedule lists
Prices are from the clinic's 2026 international patient fee schedule and are listed in US dollars; the schedule uses a reference rate of 1,450 Korean won per dollar. A written estimate confirms the items that apply to your case.
Laser labiaplasty is listed from USD 3,200, with sedation included; clitoral hood reduction is USD 1,300. Sedation anesthesia is listed at USD 180 and is already included in laser labiaplasty; a premium recovery room is USD 140 per night; the first English medical certificate is included and each additional copy is USD 30.
| Item as listed on the schedule | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Laser labiaplasty | From USD 3,200 | Sedation anesthesia included |
| Clitoral hood reduction | USD 1,300 | Often combined with labiaplasty |
| Sedation anesthesia | USD 180 | Already included in laser labiaplasty |
| Premium recovery room | USD 140 per night | Optional overnight stay |
| English medical certificate | First copy included | Additional copies USD 30 |
The schedule gives a starting price for laser labiaplasty rather than one fixed figure. The figure for your case depends on the technique, whether other procedures are combined and the anesthesia plan, and the written estimate you receive after consultation confirms it.
Is this for you?
- You are comparing labiaplasty quotes from more than one country
- You want to know what a written quote should itemize before you commit
- You need receipts and forms for an insurer or a health savings account
- You are working out the total cost of the trip, not only the clinic fee
- You have a US or Canadian price and want to know whether it is comparable
This page is general information and is not a diagnosis; a consultation is needed to decide whether a procedure suits you.
Labiaplasty Korea price: how we quote
We prepare the documents international insurers typically require: an itemized English receipt, a medical certificate, procedure codes and a completed claim form. Whether a procedure is reimbursed depends on your policy; we provide documentation, not coverage decisions. Payment can be made by international credit card.
You receive a written estimate in English after consultation, or after a video pre-consultation if you want a figure before booking flights. The estimate itemizes the procedure, anesthesia, the recovery suite if an overnight stay is planned, the follow-up check, and the insurance documents. The prices in the table above come from the clinic's 2026 international patient fee schedule.
What changes the price: combining labiaplasty with clitoral hood reduction or labia majora augmentation, revision of a previous surgery, and the anesthesia plan.
Whatever country you are comparing, a useful quote names the technique, the anesthesia, the facility, the follow-up visits and what happens if something needs to be corrected. The CDC tells medical travelers to make sure they understand which services are included in the cost of a procedure. A 2023 patient article from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) adds that a low up-front price does not mean the lowest total once every cost is counted, and that complications can add to the bill.
For US context, the ASPS reports an average labiaplasty cost of $3,919 in its latest statistics and says the figure does not include anesthesia, operating-room facilities or other related expenses. A labiaplasty Korea price and a US average are therefore comparable only when both list the same items. A figure that leaves out anesthesia and the operating room is not measuring the same thing as an estimate that includes them. Ask each clinic for an all-in written quote and compare the two lists line by line.
Some costs sit outside any clinic quote: flights, accommodation, meals, local transport, travel insurance and time off work. We do not bundle flights or hotels. Budget for them separately, and ask your insurer what it covers if a check-up delays your departure.
Care after you return home also has a cost. The CDC advises checking your domestic health insurance plan carefully, says you might need supplemental coverage, and recommends agreeing a plan for complications with both your US clinician and the overseas provider before you go.
Cost
From USD 3,200 (about KRW 4,640,000 at the reference rate of 1,450 won per dollar), with sedation included
Clitoral hood reduction is USD 1,300 if it is combined with labiaplasty. A premium recovery room is USD 140 per night if you choose to stay overnight. The first English medical certificate is included.
What is included
- Laser labiaplasty with sedation anesthesia
- Surgery and operating room
- Follow-up check before departure
- Discharge instructions in English
- First English medical certificate
- Insurance claim documents
Follow-up care is provided for ten years after surgery under the clinic's aftercare policy: a repeat of the same procedure is free of charge; sedation anesthesia fees and any additional procedures performed at the same time are charged.
For international patients
Payment can be made by international credit card. Payment by international bank transfer is also accepted. Consultations are available in English. Medical records and receipts are issued in English on request. A video follow-up is scheduled after you return home. Most insurers treat labiaplasty as cosmetic and do not reimburse it unless there is a documented functional problem. That mirrors the distinction ACOG draws between procedures done to change appearance, which it calls not medically indicated, and procedures for clinical problems such as pain with intercourse or interference in athletic activities. Ask your insurer what it requires before you travel, then check that list against the insurance claim documents we prepare. If your policy may cover part of the cost, ask about pre-authorization before you book flights.

Is labiaplasty cheaper in Korea than in the US?
It depends on what each quote includes, and nobody can answer it without two written quotes. Compare the same items on both: technique, anesthesia, facility, follow-up and documents. Then add flights, accommodation, time off work and the cost of follow-up care at home if a complication arises. The CDC advises checking your domestic health insurance plan carefully before you travel for a procedure.

Only if the examination shows something that changes the plan, and then we discuss it before anything is scheduled.
