Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Wegovy cost in Korea?

Wegovy in Korea typically costs around 350,000~350,000 KRW, though the exact price varies by clinic, your case, and what's included. Seoul prices reflect surgeon experience, technique, and aftercare — always confirm whether anesthesia, follow-ups, and post-op care are bundled in your quote. Because every body and goal is different, your final cost can only be confirmed at an in-person or video consultation with a board-certified doctor.

Is Wegovy painful, and what kind of anesthesia is used?

Wegovy is generally well-tolerated, with anesthesia chosen to keep you comfortable throughout. Depending on the procedure, Korean clinics use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, and most discomfort afterward is managed with prescribed medication. Pain tolerance is personal, so discuss anesthesia options and pain management with a board-certified anesthesiologist or surgeon before your treatment.

How do I choose the right clinic for Wegovy in Korea?

Choose a clinic with board-certified specialists, transparent pricing, and strong patient reviews. On K-Dia, 1 clinics offer Wegovy, so you can compare doctor credentials, before-and-after results, and English-language support side by side. Verify the surgeon's specialty board certification, ask about complication rates and revision policies, and book a consultation before committing — this is a medical decision, not just a price comparison.
