Fine fixation without an incision
The non-incisional buried-suture technique forms a crease through fine internal fixation points, without cutting the skin.
A refined double-eyelid plan for patients who want a natural-looking crease without an incision, with the method selected after checking eyelid thickness, skin laxity, and eye-opening strength.
The non-incisional buried-suture technique forms a crease through fine internal fixation points, without cutting the skin.
Suitability is assessed based on eyelid thickness, skin laxity, and eye-opening strength before deciding the final line.
It is generally suited to thinner eyelids with less fat and can support a relatively quick recovery when properly indicated.
Consultation, design, surgery, and recovery are guided step by step with one coordinated team.
Answers to the questions patients most often ask before planning surgery in Korea.
QDoes non-incisional double eyelid surgery leave scars?
AThe crease is created by fixing fine internal points without cutting the skin, so there is almost no visible scarring on the outside.
QCan the crease loosen over time?
AWe use the natural adhesion technique, which is designed to minimize the chance of the line loosening. Long-term results vary depending on individual eyelid conditions.
QDo I need to come back for stitch removal?
AYes. Stitches are removed on day 7 after surgery, and we complete a final check at the same visit before you fly home.
QHow is it different from the incisional method?
AThe non-incisional method suits thinner eyelids and recovers faster, while the incisional method suits thicker eyelids that need tissue adjustment. The right method is decided after examining your eyes.
QHow long does the swelling last?
AMost of the major swelling goes down within 2 weeks to 1 month, and the small visible swelling settles gradually over several months. The pace varies from person to person.
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.
QCan I get a tax refund (VAT refund) on the surgery cost?
AThe special VAT refund program for cosmetic surgery services for foreign tourists officially ended on December 31, 2025. For procedures performed on or after January 1, 2026, clinics can no longer issue tax refund documents.
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.
QWhen can I fly home after surgery?
ACabin pressure changes can cause swelling or bleeding, so it is medically recommended to fly only after your stitches are removed (7-10 days after surgery). Rhinoplasty can be more sensitive to pressure changes, so it is safest to board after a final check with your surgeon.
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.
