Seoul is a global center for double eyelid surgery thanks to high procedural volume, refined techniques (non-incisional, incisional, ptosis correction), and strong aftercare. Whether you’re seeking subtle crease definition or correcting eyelid asymmetry, the right clinic will combine technical skill with aesthetic sensitivity. Below are three clinics well regarded for double eyelid surgery, plus what to ask to pick the right one for you.

1) Ahn Sungmin Plastic Surgery

What they are known for:

Good for:

  • Patients who need ptosis correction or revision eyelid work.
  • Those who prefer a clinic focused on eye surgery rather than general plastic surgery.

What to ask at consultation:

  • Which technique fits you: non-incisional vs incisional / partial incision.
  • How they plan to handle excess skin or fat, if present.
  • Expected recovery timeline (swelling, stitches, return to work).
  • Before & after photos for cases similar to yours (eyelid shape, skin thickness, crease height).

2) Very Good Plastic Surgery (VG)

What they are known for:

  • Offers double eyelid surgery among their eye surgery lineup; multilingual support, experience with international patients. Korea Travel Pages
  • Personalized diagnosis and treatment with options in eyelid surgery (crease design, epicanthoplasty etc.) to match facial features. Korea Travel Pages

Good for:

  • First-time eyelid surgery patients who want clarity in communication and choice.
  • Patients wanting both appearance improvement and functional correction (e.g., tired-looking lids or asymmetry).

What to ask at consultation:

  • How they simulate the crease height and shape with you.
  • What options they suggest for crease shape and whether epicanthoplasty or inner corner modifications are included.
  • Healing expectations: how bruising/swelling behaves, when you’ll see final shape.
  • Costs, including consultation, surgery, follow-ups, touch-ups.

3) CDU Plastic Surgery Center

What they are known for:

Good for:

  • Patients who want multiple technique options and need to compare incision vs non-incision.
  • Those who want fast initial recovery and minimal downtime.

What to ask at consultation:

  • What suture vs incisional options are ideal for your eye type (thick lids, hooded lids, presence of epicanthal fold).
  • How symmetry is addressed and what to do if one eye heals differently.
  • Post-operative care and timeline: when sutures will be removed, when makeup is safe, when swelling is expected to subside.

Recovery & Timeline Guide (Typical, can vary by clinic & individual)

  • Day 0-1: Surgery; swelling and discomfort; rest with eyes elevated.
  • Days 2-4: Swelling peaks; some bruising; gentle cleanings.
  • Days 5-7: Possible suture removal if incisional; reduced swelling/better symmetry.
  • Week 1-2: Most social/public appearance possible; eyes looking more natural.
  • Weeks 4-6+: Final crease shape more settled; residual swelling fades; full results in 2-3 months.

Quick Checklist for Choosing the Right Clinic

  • Surgeon credentials: experience with double eyelid surgery + revision cases.
  • Technique recommendation suited to your anatomy: skin thickness, fold style, ptosis or not.
  • Before/after gallery (cases like yours: age, lid type).
  • Clear cost breakdown & inclusive services (consultation, surgery, sutures, follow-ups).
  • Language support and clear communication for expectations and healing.


Seoul is a global hub for nose surgery thanks to high case volumes, advanced structural techniques (septal/ear/rib cartilage grafts), and detailed aftercare. Whether you want subtle refinement or a complex revision, the right team will balance aesthetics with breathing function and long-term stability.

Mizain Plastic Surgery — Refined, Natural Lines

Focus: Primary and revision rhinoplasty with attention to bridge height, tip support, and nasal valve function. Surgeons emphasize cartilage support and soft-tissue handling for results that settle smoothly over time.
 Good for: Patients seeking elegant, camera-friendly definition without an “overdone” look.
 Ask at consult: Open vs. closed approach, graft sources (septal/ear/rib), plan for dorsal profile and tip rotation, and timeline for return to work/travel.

Very Good Plastic Surgery (VG) — Boutique Planning & Clear Communication

Focus: Customized nose design that harmonizes with chin/cheek proportions; transparent discussions about what’s surgically achievable. Strong protocols for swelling control and follow-ups.
 Good for: First-time rhinoplasty or mild revisions where detailed planning and expectation setting matter most.
 Ask at consult: Breathing evaluation (septum/valves), implant vs. autologous cartilage strategy, scar placement, and enhancement/revision policy.

VVLY Plastic Surgery — Structure-First, Long-Term Support

Focus: Structural rhinoplasty that prioritizes durable tip support and stable dorsal lines, using precise graft frameworks and conservative soft-tissue thinning where indicated.
 Good for: Thick-skin noses, secondary (revision) cases, or patients needing robust tip projection/definition.
 Ask at consult: Exact graft framework (columellar strut, spreaders), management of thick skin/edema, and staged care if combined with chin or midface tweaks.

Typical Costs in Seoul (Guide Only)

  • Primary rhinoplasty: ~ ₩4.5M–₩10M+ (varies by technique, grafts, facility level).
  • Revision rhinoplasty: often ₩7M–₩15M+ depending on complexity and rib cartilage use.
    Always request an         itemized quote covering surgeon, OR, anesthesia, materials, medications, and follow-ups.

What to Ask Anywhere (Quick Checklist)

  • Surgeon & volume: Who operates, board certification, annual rhinoplasty numbers, and before/after cases similar to yours.
  • Function + form: Septum/valve assessment; plan to improve or preserve breathing.
  • Technique & materials: Open vs. closed; implant vs. autologous cartilage; risk/benefit of each.
  • Recovery plan: Swelling timeline, taping/splint schedule, when glasses can rest on the nose, travel guidance.
  • Revision policy: Windows, costs, and what qualifies for touch-ups.

Recovery Timeline (Typical; varies by case)

  • Days 1–3: Swelling/pressure; head elevation; cold compresses per instructions.
  • Days 5–7: Splint/tapes often removed; bruising starts to fade.
  • Weeks 2–4: Back to desk work/social light; residual swelling persists.
  • Months 3–6: Shape refines; tip definition improves.
  • Up to 12 months: Final contour, especially in thick-skin or revision cases.
