Double Eyelid Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Double eyelid surgery—also known as Asian blepharoplasty—is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Korea. It enhances the upper eyelid by creating a natural-looking crease, resulting in larger, more defined eyes while maintaining ethnic harmony. Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, Korea is the global leader in double eyelid surgery thanks to its advanced techniques and refined aesthetics.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in customized double eyelid procedures tailored to your eye shape, facial balance, and personal goals. Our board-certified surgeons use minimally invasive methods to create bright, youthful eyes that look naturally you.

Why Choose Double Eyelid Surgery?

Many individuals of East Asian descent are born with a monolid (single eyelid fold) or an asymmetric crease. Double eyelid surgery can enhance your appearance while preserving your unique features. Common benefits include:

• Larger, more expressive eyes
• Improved symmetry between both eyes
• Easier makeup application
• A refreshed, youthful appearance
• Correction of droopy eyelids (ptosis) or puffiness

Whether you’re correcting asymmetry or simply want to brighten your gaze, our goal is to help you achieve balanced and beautiful results.

Types of Double Eyelid Surgery

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer several surgical techniques to suit different eyelid types, skin thickness, and aesthetic goals.

  1. Non-Incisional (Suture Method)

• Ideal for patients with thin eyelid skin and minimal sagging.
• No cutting—only small sutures create the fold.
• Short recovery time and minimal scarring.

  2. Partial Incision Method

• Combines the benefits of both open and non-incisional methods.
• Suitable for mild puffiness or excess fat.
• Natural crease formation with a shorter scar.

  3. Full Incision Method

• Best for thicker skin, excess fat, or revision cases.
• Allows precise shaping and long-lasting results.
• Slightly longer downtime but offers permanent outcomes.

Your surgeon will recommend the best method based on your anatomy and expectations during consultation.

Customized Approach for Natural Results

Every patient has a unique eye structure, which is why our double eyelid surgery is never one-size-fits-all. We carefully analyze the shape of your eyes, brow position, skin elasticity, and facial proportions to design the ideal crease for your face.

Our surgeons are known for their ability to:

• Avoid overcorrection or exaggerated results
• Preserve ethnic features while enhancing definition
• Create a natural fold that blends seamlessly with your eyelid
• Minimize scarring and maintain eyelid function

Our goal is always a natural result—so people notice your eyes, not your surgery.

Consultation and Planning

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, your experience begins with a thorough consultation. We take time to understand your vision, assess your eyelid anatomy, and explain your options clearly.

Consultation includes:

• Evaluation of eyelid thickness, skin condition, and crease height
• Review of your aesthetic preferences and lifestyle needs
• Before-and-after photo examples from similar patients
• Discussion of surgical method and incision placement
• Explanation of anesthesia, risks, and recovery timeline

We prioritize open communication so you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Double eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia with light sedation and typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the method.

Surgical Steps:

• Precise design and marking of the new crease
• Removal of excess skin or fat (if needed)
• Suture placement or incision creation
• Closing and applying sterile tape to support the new fold

You can return home the same day with minimal restrictions.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery time varies based on the method used. Non-incisional methods usually require less downtime, while full incisions may need more rest.

Post-Surgery Tips:

• Apply cold compresses for the first 48 hours
• Sleep with your head elevated for faster swelling reduction
• Avoid eye makeup and contact lenses for 1–2 weeks
• Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
• Most swelling resolves within 1–2 weeks, with full results visible in 1–3 months

Our clinic provides detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your healing process.
