What to know first in Korea
- The price page shows collection date, comparison unit, sample size, minimum, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile and maximum together; it shows no figure for fewer than three samples.
- Does the quoted total match the advertised price, and what could change the final amount?
- Ask for separate amounts for the product, treatment area, anesthesia, VAT, additional procedures and cancellation charges.
Pause at this indication
- Prominently shows only the lowest price
- Does not show the total until after contracting
- Does not explain how to refuse additional procedures
After reading, check with your clinic.
These questions connect the rules and conditions above to your consultation; they are not a diagnosis or answer for self-assessment.
