What follows are real 2025 price ranges for the most common cosmetic and aesthetic procedures in Vietnam — alongside the context you need to interpret them. Because the number on a price list tells you less than half the story.
How Vietnamese Cosmetic Surgery COST IN VIETNAM Works
Before the tables: a short orientation on how pricing works in this market, because it’s different from what you’re used to.
Three-tier pricing exists in every market. In Vietnam, the tiers roughly look like:
– International-standard surgeons with strong credentials and large international patient bases (premium)
– Experienced domestic surgeons with good results but less international positioning (mid-market)
– Clinics competing primarily on price (budget)
The gap between premium and budget in Vietnam is not the same as the gap in the West. A premium Vietnamese surgeon still represents massive savings versus a comparable Western surgeon. But the gap between a $1,500 rhinoplasty and a $2,500 rhinoplasty in HCMC can represent a meaningful difference in surgeon experience and outcome quality. Price within the Vietnamese market is a signal — it’s just not a reliable one in either direction without doing the credential work.
What’s included varies. This is the source of most price confusion.
– Anesthesia fees ✓ or ✗
– Facility/operating room fees ✓ or ✗
– Post-operative medications ✓ or ✗
– Follow-up appointments ✓ or ✗
– Garments or post-op supplies ✓ or ✗
Always ask for an itemized breakdown. “Rhinoplasty from $1,200” might be $1,800 all-in or it might genuinely be $1,200 complete. You need to know which.
Prices in Ho Chi Minh City vs. Hanoi vs. smaller cities. HCMC is the hub for international cosmetic surgery in Vietnam and where the majority of top-tier international-facing surgeons practice. Prices in Hanoi and other cities tend to be lower; quality at the top tier is also concentrated in HCMC.

How to Get an Accurate Quote FOR COSMETIC SURGERY COST IN VIETNAM
To get a quote you can actually plan around:
- Convert and compare carefully. Quotes may be in Vietnamese Dong (VND), USD, or both. As of 2025, $1 USD ≈ 25,000 VND. Verify the current exchange rate.
- Contact the clinic directly with a specific description of what you want. “Rhinoplasty” is not specific enough — the quote will vary significantly based on whether you want tip work only, a structural rhinoplasty, revision work, or ethnic considerations.
- Ask for an itemized breakdown. Procedure + anesthesia + facility + follow-up visits + post-op medications.
- Ask what is not included. Specifically: garments, supplies, extended follow-up visits.
- Get quotes from a few surgeons before deciding. The quote process is also an evaluation of communication quality — how a clinic responds to detailed questions tells you something.
Is there a “Tourist Price” vs. a “Local Price” for surgery? In 2026, most JCI-accredited and international-facing hospitals maintain a single, transparent price list for all nationalities. However, smaller local clinics may have different structures. To ensure you aren’t overpaying, always request an itemized quote and compare it against the HCMC Department of Health Price Transparency Portal, which tracks standardized pricing for core medical services to prevent price gouging.
The bottom line
The savings are real. A major cosmetic procedure in Vietnam, all-in including travel, typically costs 50–70% less than the same procedure in the US, UK, or Australia — with no meaningful sacrifice in quality at the top tier of the market.
The number on the price list is the starting point, not the full picture. Know what’s included, budget for the total trip cost, don’t underinsure, and choose quality over the lowest number in the market.
Done right, this is one of the most financially intelligent medical decisions you can make.
FAQ
Does travel insurance cover cosmetic surgery complications abroad?
Standard travel insurance usually excludes elective cosmetic procedures. You’ll need a specialist medical tourism or surgical travel policy that explicitly covers complications, revision surgery, and medical repatriation.
What payment methods do clinics in Vietnam typically accept?
Most established clinics accept bank transfer and major credit cards. Cash (USD or VND) is often accepted but always get a receipt. Avoid paying the full amount before your pre-op consultation.
Are the quoted prices all-inclusive?
Not always. Confirm whether quotes include anaesthesia, facility fees, post-op garments, follow-up consultations, and any required medication. Reputable clinics will provide an itemised breakdown upfront.
Why are cosmetic surgery prices in Vietnam lower than in Western countries?
Lower operating costs, staff wages, and clinic overheads — not lower standards — drive the price difference. Many Vietnamese surgeons trained internationally and work in facilities with modern equipment.
Is there a “Tourist Price” vs. a “Local Price” for surgery?

How do exchange rate fluctuations affect my surgical quote?
Most international clinics quote in USD to provide stability for foreign patients, but the final bill is often settled in Vietnamese Dong (VND). Because the exchange rate can shift between your consultation and your surgery date, check the State Bank of Vietnam’s official rates before transferring funds to ensure your bank isn’t charging excessive conversion fees.
Are there hidden taxes or “Luxury Taxes” on cosmetic procedures?
As of 2026, medical services in Vietnam are generally subject to a Value Added Tax (VAT), but many clinics include this in their “All-In” quotes. Always confirm if the 8–10% VAT is included in your initial estimate to avoid a surprise surcharge on discharge day.
What happens if I need a revision surgery?
Reputable surgeons, especially dentists, often provide “surgical insurance” or a guarantee where the surgeon’s fee for a revision is waived within the first year. However, you will still likely be responsible for hospital facility fees and anesthesia. You can research global standards for revision rights via the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), which many top Vietnamese surgeons belong to.
