What is incisional double eyelid surgery?

Incisional Double Eyelid

Incisional double eyelid surgery is suited to thicker eyelids, eyes with more skin or fat, or drooping eyes. Through a fine incision we create a clearly defined crease and, where needed, refine thicker tissue; depending on your eye condition, we compare it with other methods such as the non-incisional technique to recommend the most suitable direction.

Before your surgery

Notice
All surgery carries the possibility of general side effects such as bleeding, infection, or inflammation, and results vary between individuals. Please consult thoroughly with a board-certified specialist before surgery, and be sure to tell us about any medications, previous surgeries, smoking, and alcohol use.

* Results vary between individuals; please confirm recovery time and possible side effects through a thorough consultation.

For international patients

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions patients most often ask before planning surgery in Korea.

QWill the incision scar be visible?

AThe incision is made exactly along the new crease line, so the scar is hidden within the fold and fades over time.

QI have thick, puffy eyelids. Can I still get double eyelids?

AYes. The incisional method is well suited to thick eyelids, as excess fat and tissue can be adjusted at the same time for a clean, defined crease.

QWhen are the stitches removed?

AStitches are removed on day 7 after surgery.

QHow do I choose between incisional and non-incisional?

AIt depends on your eyelid thickness, skin condition, and the line you want. After an examination we recommend the method that fits your eyes — see also non-incisional double eyelid.

QHow long do I need to stay in Korea after surgery?

AIt depends on your procedure. For typical double eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty, stitches are removed 7-10 days after surgery, so staying at least about one week is standard.

QI do not speak Korean. Do you provide interpretation services?

AWe are a government-registered medical institution for international patients, with dedicated English-, Chinese-, and Japanese-speaking coordinators on staff. They support smooth communication through every step, from consultation to the operating room and aftercare.

QDo I need a special visa for plastic surgery in Korea?

AFor short stays (usually up to 90 days), citizens of visa-waiver countries can enter Korea without a visa and receive surgery during their stay. The K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) is temporarily waived for 22 major countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan, through December 31, 2026 - please check the official K-ETA website for your nationality before departure.

QWill the surgeon I consult with actually perform my surgery? Is there any risk of ghost surgery?

AThe board-certified plastic surgeon who consults with you performs 100% of the surgery. Under Korean law requiring CCTV in operating rooms, our operating room CCTV is in operation to protect your rights as a patient.

QWhat if I have side effects after returning to my home country?

AAfter you return home, we follow up on your recovery online through messengers such as WhatsApp, WeChat, or LINE, or by email. We also recommend checking the clinic’s aftercare guarantee policy before surgery.

QHow can I check that a clinic is safe and verified?

AAn objective indicator is the KAHF mark, the accreditation program designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare for medical institutions serving international patients. You can also verify that the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon on the Korean Society of Plastic Surgeons website.

QWhat payment methods do you accept?

AWe accept international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, JCB), cash (KRW, USD, and other major currencies), Alipay, and WeChat Pay.
