Questions?
Answers.
Is Busan good for medical and cosmetic treatment?
Yes. Busan has a dense clinic network — this guide lists 997 dermatology, plastic surgery, eye, dental, urology and OB-GYN clinics — concentrated in Seomyeon and Haeundae/Centum City, usually with shorter waits than Seoul.
Is the clinic shortlist really free?
Yes. Sending an inquiry costs nothing and there is no obligation to book. You pay the clinic directly only if you decide to go ahead with a treatment.
Where are most clinics in Busan?
Seomyeon (Busanjin-gu) around Seomyeon Station has the largest cluster, followed by Haeundae-gu (Centum City and Haeundae Beach), Gwangalli (Suyeong-gu), Dongnae and Yeonsan-dong.
Can foreigners use clinics in Busan?
Yes. Bring your passport and book ahead. Tourists pay non-covered (비급여) prices; foreign residents enrolled in Korea's National Health Insurance get coverage for medically necessary care.
How accurate are the prices?
Prices are indicative 2026 market ranges for Busan compiled by our editors. The final price depends on the product, technique and clinic — always ask for a written quote including VAT.
Where does the clinic data come from?
Clinic names, addresses and phone numbers come from the public database of Korea's Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA), retrieved in October 2026.
