Double eyelid surgery in Seoul, Korea
Double eyelid surgery in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: natural-adhesion and incisional techniques for a crease that looks like your own.
Typical ranges for double eyelid surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is double eyelid surgery?
Double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) creates a defined upper-eyelid crease. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons use the natural-adhesion method, which typically takes under 30 minutes with recovery in about one week, or an incisional method when skin or fat needs to be removed.
The natural-adhesion method encourages a bond between the eyelid skin and the muscle that opens the eye, rather than relying on sutures alone, so the crease looks natural and resists loosening. The incisional method suits thicker eyelids, excess skin or previous surgery. Crease height and shape are designed with you before surgery.
Who is double eyelid surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Monolids or an uneven, faint or multiple crease
- Eyelids that look heavy or puffy
- A crease that has loosened after earlier non-incisional surgery
- People who want a natural crease that suits their eye shape
How double eyelid surgery is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon checks eyelid skin thickness, fat, and how strongly the eye opens, then simulates crease height and shape with you in a mirror.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Creating the crease With the natural-adhesion method, small openings are used to bond skin to the eye-opening muscle; with the incisional method, excess skin or fat is removed and the crease is fixed along the incision.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
With the natural-adhesion method no stitch removal is needed and most patients recover within about a week. Incisional surgery has more swelling, with stitches removed after roughly five to seven days.
- Swelling injection and regenerative LED laser in the first week
- Milia removal at checkups
- 1-year revision guarantee
- Unlimited surgeon-checked scar injections
- Recovery kit to take home

Frequently asked questions
How long is recovery after double eyelid surgery?
For natural-adhesion double eyelid surgery, the procedure takes under 30 minutes, no stitch removal is needed, and most patients recover within about one week. Individual results and recovery vary.
What is the difference between natural-adhesion and incisional double eyelid surgery?
Natural adhesion creates the crease through small openings with minimal swelling. The incisional method removes excess skin or fat through a full incision and suits thicker or hooded eyelids.
Can double eyelid surgery be combined with other eye procedures?
Yes. It is often combined with ptosis correction or epicanthoplasty when the eye opening is weak or the inner corner is covered. Your surgeon advises after examination.
