Hiko Nose Lift Price: How to Read a Thread-by-Thread Price List Before You Ask for a Quote

If you're looking up a HIKO nose lift price from abroad, you've probably found a figure that looks small. The harder part is knowing what it covers. This guide works through one Gangnam clinic's dated price list as an example. It shows which lines can change a total and turns them into questions to ask in writing before you compare quotes.

What a published HIKO starting price actually describes

THE Beautiful Clinic's price list is dated 20 August 2026. On it, the HIKO nose lift starts at 95,000 KRW for three standard threads and 129,000 KRW for three threads from the PCL/PDO line. Neither figure includes 10% VAT. Each one describes a single setup: one thread line, at the lowest thread count on the list, before tax.

The clinic also says every figure on its list covers one session. Nothing is priced as a course, and a repeat visit costs the single-session rate. So the starting number is the cost of one appointment, not of a treatment plan over time.

It also helps to know what the number isn't. It comes from one clinic's own list. It isn't an average for Seoul or a typical rate for a HIKO nose thread lift in Korea, and it tells you nothing about what other clinics charge or how they set their prices. To read it properly, you need the other lines on the list.

Line by line: thread type, thread count, extras and VAT

The clinic's own hiko nose lift price page sets out its 20 August 2026 list line by line, with every price before 10% VAT. Standard HIKO costs 95,000 KRW for three threads and 125,000 KRW for four. The PCL/PDO line costs 129,000 KRW for three and 169,000 KRW for four. Each thread beyond four adds 50,000 KRW. So a HIKO PCL PDO thread price only means something once you know the thread count.

Two more lines sit beside the HIKO threads. The ELSCO lift is a separate thread line the clinic lists for the bridge and tip of the nose. It costs 99,000 KRW for one thread and 469,000 KRW for five. Nose bridge filler for use with HIKO costs 299,000 KRW per treatment with Juvederm. The Korean filler product has no listed price; the clinic quotes it at consultation.

The clinic names four things that change its quotes: the thread line, the number of threads, whether the tip needs its own thread, and whether filler is added. VAT of 10% goes on top of the total. On the 95,000 KRW starting figure, for example, that adds 9,500 KRW. The clinic confirms the final price at consultation, after a 3D Meta-Vu scan and before treatment starts. The list works like a menu of parts, and your total depends on which parts the consultation puts in your plan.

Turning the list into questions for a written quote

These variables become practical questions you can send before you travel. Which thread line is proposed, and how many threads? Does the plan include a separate bridge-and-tip thread or filler, and if so, which filler product? Does the figure include VAT? Is it the price of one session? The clinic says a quote should answer one more question: who performs the treatment. It says each nose plan is drawn up with its listed physician at consultation.

Include your history in the same message. The clinic asks patients to mention any earlier nose surgery, implant or filler. If you've had nose filler recently, it asks for the product and the date before any thread is planned. With that information, a clinic can tell you whether its starting price even applies to your nose.

Quotes are easiest to compare when each clinic answers the same questions in writing. KCODI books Korean plastic surgery appointments and provides medical interpreters; it isn't a clinic. It says it gives patients written, itemised quotes before any deposit. It also says clinics offer different things, so it suggests asking what applies at the clinic you have in mind. Hold every hiko nose lift price you're quoted to the same standard: thread line, count, extras and tax listed separately, in writing, before you pay anything. KCODI's own Seoul price ranges cover surgical procedures and are labelled market estimates, not quotes. The written quote you get after a consultation is the number to compare.

What a price list cannot tell you about your nose

Even a fully itemised quote only tells you the cost. The clinic itself warns that a thread adds support along a line but doesn't remove a hump, narrow a wide nasal base or replace surgery. Whether threads suit your nose at all is decided at consultation, not by a price list.

The clinic's statements about recovery and how long results last also come with conditions. It says the threads go in through small entry points under local anaesthetic. Its thread-lifting page lists 2–5 days of swelling, settling over the first week. Its 6–12 month figure for how long results last covers thread lifting in general, including face threads, and the clinic suggests asking what to expect for your own nose and the threads you choose.

The clinic also lists possible complications described in published reports. Threads can become visible, move, or come through the skin at the entry point. It describes infection as rare and says results and recovery vary from person to person. Before you compare totals, ask in writing which of these points apply to your nose. A lower price only helps if it covers the treatment you would actually get.
