✨ Double Eyelid Surgery in Korea


Double eyelid surgery—also known as blepharoplasty—is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Korea.

Whether performed for aesthetic reasons or to improve vision obstructed by heavy lids, Korea is globally renowned for its advanced double eyelid techniques, minimal scarring, and beautifully tailored results.


🌟 Why Choose Seoul for Double Eyelid Surgery


Global Leaders in Eye Aesthetics
Korean plastic surgeons are considered world-class experts in double eyelid surgery, especially for Asian eyelid anatomy, delivering refined and balanced outcomes suited to each individual’s facial features.

Multiple Surgical Techniques
Depending on your anatomy and preferences, surgeons offer various methods:

  • Non-Incisional (Suture) Method: Ideal for patients with thin skin and minimal fat—quick recovery, no visible scars
  • Incisional Method: Suitable for thicker eyelids or those needing fat removal—long-lasting and customizable
  • Partial Incision: A hybrid of both techniques—less invasive with more stability than the suture method
  • Revisional Surgery: For patients correcting asymmetry or poor outcomes from past procedures

Natural-Looking Results
Korean surgeons focus on subtle enhancement, avoiding overly high creases or artificial results. The goal is to create defined, expressive eyes that maintain harmony with the rest of the face.

Minimal Downtime & Fast Healing
Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Thanks to refined techniques and precise incision placement, swelling typically subsides within 7–10 days.

Convenience for International Patients
Clinics in Seoul offer online consultations, multilingual staff, recovery guidance, and accommodation assistance—making it easy for patients from abroad to access safe, high-quality care.
