Korean Eye Surgery Guide: Double Eyelid, Ptosis Correction & More

Korean Double Eyelid Before After
Real double eyelid surgery cases — Before vs After

“It’s not about getting someone else’s eyes — it’s about making yours shine brighter.”

Eye surgery (눈성형) is the most technically refined and specialized field in Korean plastic surgery. Korean surgeons divide eye procedures into highly specific categories — double eyelid creation, eye shape correction (ptosis), epicanthoplasty, upper/lower blepharoplasty, and under-eye fat repositioning — each with dedicated specialists who have spent years perfecting their craft.

Double Eyelid Surgery (쌍꺼풀 수술)

Korean double eyelid surgery goes far beyond a simple crease. Surgeons select the optimal technique based on your eyelid thickness, fat volume, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.

Natural Adhesion Method (Non-Incisional) 자연유착법

Korea’s most popular non-incisional technique. Creates precise adhesion points between skin and levator muscle for a natural-born crease look. No incision, no scarring, 3-5 days recovery. Best for thin eyelids with minimal fat. Duration: 3-7 years. Price: ₩0.8-1.5M.

Partial Incision (Mini-Incision) 부분절개법

The “best of both worlds” — 2-3 micro-incisions of just 2-3mm allow limited fat removal while maintaining near-non-incisional recovery. 5-7 days downtime, semi-permanent to permanent. Price: ₩1.2-2.2M.

Full Incision 절개법

Full-length incision along the crease enables complete fat removal, skin tightening, and the most precise crease. Korean surgeons achieve “invisible-when-closed” results. Permanent results, 2-4 week recovery. Price: ₩1.8-3.5M.

Eye Shape Correction / Ptosis Repair (눈매교정)

Many patients still feel their eyes lack sparkle after double eyelid surgery. The issue is often weak levator muscles (ptosis). In Korea, over 60% of double eyelid surgeries include ptosis correction simultaneously. Available as incisional or non-incisional. Add-on price: ₩0.5-1.0M.

Epicanthoplasty / Corner Surgery (트임수술)

Widens the eye horizontally — the perfect companion to double eyelid surgery:

  • Inner Corner (앞트임): Removes Mongolian fold for wider inner eye area. Scarless technique.
  • Outer Corner (뒤트임): Extends outer corner for elongated, elegant eye shape.
  • Under-Eye (밑트임): Lowers outer lower lid for a soft doe-eyed look. Trending in Korea.
  • Reversal (앞트임복원): Fixes over-opened inner corners from previous surgery.

Eye Revision Surgery (눈재수술)

Unhappy with a previous eye procedure? Korea is the world’s most trusted destination for eye revision. Common issues: crease too wide/narrow, asymmetry, unaddressed ptosis, over-corrected epicanthoplasty, loosened sutures. Revision requires exceptional surgical judgment — BeautsGo only matches you with senior revision specialists. Price: ₩2.5-5.0M.

Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty (상안검 / 하안검)

For aging-related concerns: upper blepharoplasty removes excess sagging skin; lower blepharoplasty eliminates bags and smooths tear troughs. Under-eye fat repositioning (눈밑지방재배치) redistributes protruding fat into hollow areas — one of Korea’s most popular anti-aging eye procedures.

Men’s Eye Surgery (남자눈성형)

Unlike the soft, wide-eyed aesthetic for women, men’s eye surgery emphasizes a deep-set, powerful, clean-lined look: narrow 5-7mm crease, sharper gaze via ptosis correction, and revision of previously over-widened results.
