Patient Answers
Use these answers to understand crease design, recovery, pricing factors, and safety before consultation.
Double eyelid surgery in Korea creates or refines an upper eyelid crease so the eyes look clearer and more balanced. The crease can be planned as an in-line, in-outline, semi-outline, or outline style depending on the patient. AB evaluates eyelid fat, skin laxity, muscle strength, and facial proportions before selecting the method.
A good candidate may have monolids, hidden folds, uneven creases, heavy upper eyelids, or a crease that disappears easily. Patients who also have weak eye-opening power may need ptosis correction with double eyelid surgery, while patients with narrow inner or outer corners may discuss canthoplasty during consultation.
Most patients notice the strongest swelling during the first several days, with visible bruising and swelling improving over one to two weeks. The crease can look higher at first and gradually soften as tissues settle. Incisional methods, thicker eyelids, and combined procedures may need a longer recovery period.
The cost of double eyelid surgery in Korea depends on the method, fold design, anesthesia, tissue removal, and whether ptosis correction or canthoplasty is added. Non-incisional and incisional procedures are priced differently, and revision cases are usually more complex, so consultation is needed for an accurate quote.
Risks include swelling, bruising, infection, visible scarring, uneven creases, fold loosening, over-correction, under-correction, or a crease that looks unnatural for the face. A precise diagnosis is important because crease height, fixation strength, and eyelid muscle function must be balanced to avoid a forced appearance.
